Freedman's Savings and Trust Company
This article originally appeared in "African American Research" by Tony Burroughs, FUGA in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
Serving in the Civil War, many ex-slaves who had labored without wages all their life suddenly had cash in their pockets. In addition to earning a bounty for enlisting in the military, they received $10 a month in pay. Many soldiers sent their money home, but a fair amount was spent on gambling, liquor, and women. Military officers who wanted soldiers to save their money started a military savings bank for the 'colored' troops.
General Rufas Saxton, commanding general of the Department of the South, began the Military Savings Bank at Beaufort, South Carolina, in August 1864. In Norfolk, Virginia, General Benjamin Butler undertook a similar enterprise in the fall of 1864. And General Nathaniel Banks established a military savings bank in Louisiana in 1864.<ref>Carl R. Osthaus, Freedmen, Philanthropy, and Fraud: A History of the Freedman's Savings Bank (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1976), 3.</ref>
New York businessmen learned of these banks and saw an opportunity. After the Civil War, they applied to the federal government to start a savings bank where soldiers and former slaves could invest their money. On 3 March 1865, the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company, sometimes referred to as the Freedman's Bank, was incorporated by an act of Congress. Accounts from the military savings banks were transferred into the Freedman's Bank.
The first Freedman's Bank was established in Washington, D.C. Later, thirty-six additional branches were opened, mainly in the South, but also in New York, Philadelphia, and St. Louis. Due to mismanagement and fraud, the bank failed in 1874. Its assets were taken over by the federal government and liquidated. Fortunately many of the records were saved and eventually transferred to the National Archives.
Surviving records include signature registers, pass books, questionnaires for lost passbooks, dividend payment schedules, an Index to Deposit Ledgers, voided dividend checks, correspondence, and loan papers and schedules.
The Signature Registers hold the most interest for genealogists. A Signature Card was completed for each account holder upon opening an account. Many depositors could not read, write, nor sign their names. Because photography was very rare and costly in the 1860s, the means of identification became answers to questions. The bank asked many personal questions of the depositor, about him or her, and about the depositor's family, in the belief that only the depositor was likely to know the answer. The surviving records of this detailed examination have created a gold mine of information for genealogists.
The register format varied among branches and changed over time. The extent to which the forms were filled out also varied. Generally, the questions asked included name; residence; name of spouse, children, parents and siblings; and place of birth. Other genealogical data sometimes included complexion, former residence, occupation, employer, and names of deceased relatives.'¯ The early forms asked for name of master and name of mistress. The names of the former slave owners are essential to search enslaved people during the antebellum period.
A seamstress and washerwoman named Nancy Patterson established an account in the Louisville branch on 15 September 1865. In the final 'remarks' portion of the signature record, it is noted that she 'formerly belonged to Bob Smith, was bot [sic] by her mother upon the block in 1854 or 5.'25 No relatives were noted in her record, but in some cases it is not unusual to find three generations chronicled in a single instance.
One typical entry is that for Elias Webb, who held an account in the Vicksburg, Mississippi, branch. His record states that he was born and raised in Anderson District, South Carolina, and was residing in Port Gibson, Mississippi, at the time his account was opened. His father was Moses, his mother Rachel. He had four brothers, listed as Green Webb, Jeremiah Webb, Marcus Webb, and Scipio Lewis. His sisters were listed as Emeline, Mary, and Amanda Webb.<ref>Ibid., roll 15, Vicksburg, Mississippi, branch, record no. 1186.</ref>
It was not unusual for people to cross a county line to make a deposit in a branch office. Therefore, while the number of cities with branches was limited, those branches served more than just the immediate vicinity. In addition, the bank had agents collecting money from soldiers in the field. The signature records indicate that significant numbers of ex-slaves from at least ten Mississippi counties and three Louisiana parishes opened accounts at the Vicksburg branch.
Many of the signature record forms contained space to indicate military regiment and company, providing evidence of Civil War service in the United States Colored Troops. Veterans continued to provide this information for many years after they had mustered out of the service.
There are several ways to access the Signature Registers, which are on microfilm at the National Archives and many genealogical libraries.<ref>Registers of Signatures of Depositors in Branches of the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company, 1865-74, NARA microfilm, M816.</ref> Genealogists have transcribed and indexed records from several branches (see the bibliographies for Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, and New Orleans indexes). In addition, prisoners at the Utah State Penitentiary have transcribed all the records, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) has published the project on a CD-ROM titled Freedman's Bank Records.<ref>Freedman's Bank Records, CD-ROM (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2001).</ref>
Like all sources, the CD-ROM has advantages and disadvantages. You can search for names of brothers, sisters, parents, or anyone who is mentioned on the Signature Registers. However, search engine results do not include alternate spellings of surnames. One genealogist who was searching for the surname Harget in New Bern, North Carolina, could not find it on the CD-ROM. However, a check of Bill Reaves's North Carolina Freedman's Savings and Trust Company Records revealed that sixteen Hargets opened accounts: eight under Hardgate; six under Hardget; and two under Hardgett.<ref>Bill Reaves, North Carolina Freedman's Savings and Trust Company Records (Raleigh: North Carolina Genealogical Society, 1992).</ref> Although these sixteen entries were located on a second check of the CD-ROM, none of these spellings had been suggested for alternate searches.
Therefore a genealogist searching for the surname Harget in New Bern, North Carolina, would have to enter each spelling variation to find the eight Hardgates, six Hardgets, and two Hardgetts.
For a subscription fee, Ancestry.com and Proquest have recently added the Freedman's Bank records to their online databases.
An Index to Deposit Ledgers was the only other record microfilmed. However, it is not an index to the Signature Registers, and the deposit ledgers themselves did not survive. Nevertheless, the index can be proof that an account existed for an ancestor when the Signature Registers did not survive for a branch.
There are a few passbooks that are at the National Archives. Some of the best records yet unfilmed are the questionnaires for lost passbooks. The questionnaires ask for similar information to that which is on the Signature Registers, and can substitute when Signature Registers have not survived. The added bonus is that some questionnaires were completed by descendants of deceased relatives who held accounts. Such a return can pick up additional ancestors and descendants.
Also not filmed are dividend payment schedules from 1882 to 1889. These schedules indicate an account's balance and how much was returned after the bank folded. The five payouts returned 62 percent of the depositor's account.

The Bureau and the Bank: Separate Entities
Do not confuse the Freedmen's Bureau with the Freedman's Bank. Some researchers search the Freedman's Bank records on CD-ROM and think they have researched the Freedmen's Bureau. They have not.
Congress passed the Freedmen's Bureau Act in 1865 and subsequent legislation to prolong Bureau activities. However, similar to today's unfunded mandates, no financial appropriations accompanied passage of the acts. Since the Bureau was not funded, its services were implemented by the War Department. Records of the Freedmen's Bureau in the National Archives are therefore included with military records.
In contrast, the Freedmen's Savings & Trust Company was a private financial institution with a federal charter. Its operation was not related to the Freedmen's Bureau. Records for the bank are at the National Archives as civilian records.
Military records and civilian records are organized and catalogued separately. Records for the Freedmen's Bureau are in Record Group 105, Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands. Records for the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company (the Freedman's Bank) are part of Record Group 101, Records of Controller of the Currency. These two completely different groups of records each have their own unique set of inventories, finding aids, and microfilm. See Burroughs, 'Records Specific to African Americans' in African American Genealogical Sourcebook for more details.<ref>Tony Burroughs, "Records Specific to African Americans - The Freedman's Savings and Trust Company," in African American Genealogical Sourcebook, ed.

Étienne Louis Malus's father was Louis Malus de Mitry and was Treasurer of France. Étienne Louis was first educated at home where he was instructed in literature and mathematics. He then attended the engineering school, École Royale de Genie, at Mézières. There he was taught by Monge who realised Malus had special mathematical talents. In 1793 Malus left the school, having been dismissed for political reasons.
On leaving Mézières, Malus joined the army and was posted to Dunkerque. There his abilities were noticed and he was sent to the École Polytechnique as a pupil. Here he was taught by Fourier, and he was perhaps the most able of all of Fourier's pupils. He was to remain associated with École Polytechnique as an examiner all his life.
While studying at the École Polytechnique Malus began to undertake original research, writing papers on the path of light through materials of differing refractive indices.
After graduating from the École Polytechnique Malus rejoined the army, this time taking part in campaigns on the Rhine in 1797. As an army engineer Malus was ordered to accompany Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798. This did not greatly please him since at the time that he received the order he was stationed in the town of Giessen, as part of the occupying force, and he was about to marry the daughter of the Chancellor of the University of Giessen.
While in Cairo, Napoleon's fleet was destroyed in Aboukir Bay and Malus wrote, see [3],
From then on we realised that all our communications with Europe were broken. We began to lose hope of ever seeing our native land again.At Napoleon's instigation, while they were in Cairo, the Cairo Institute was set up having 12 mathematical members. As well as Malus these included Monge, Fourier and Napoleon Bonaparte himself. After returning in 1801 Malus held posts in Antwerp, Strasbourg, and Paris.
His mathematical work was almost entirely concerned with the study of light. This involved him in studying geometrical systems called ray systems, closely connected to Plücker's line complexes. He conducted experiments to verify Huygens' theories of light and rewrote the theory in analytical form. His discovery of the polarisation of light by reflection was published in 1809 and his theory of double refraction of light in crystals in 1810.
In 1811 Malus served, along with Lagrange, Legendre, Laplace and Haüy, on the committee to decide on who to award the prize to for the best work on the propagation of heat in solid bodies. They awarded the prize to Fourier.
Malus received many honours for his work, in particular he was awarded a prize from the Académie des Sciences in 1810 for his memoir on double refraction. In the same year he was elected to the Académie des Sciences and the following year, despite the war between England and France, Malus was awarded the Rumford medal of the Royal Society of London.

League of Cooks
All Cooks with one open slot are welcome to enter!
If your rank doesn't suit this sub-tournament then go and look up the correct one because there's a tournament for each CC rank.
This tournament is brought to you by 12 organisers who have united together in the Tournament Organizers (TO) forums by head referee amazzony (who got inspired from an idea by barterer2002). To see who are the rest of the referees, take a peek below where are also all other leagues that are part of this bigger tournament. May it be said right away that the winner of each League will advance to Table Tennis Super League where best from the best will be crowned as number one Table Tennis player in CC. Form of the final tournament will be very similar to this tournament.
12 Qualifying Leagues
- TO; League of Cooks [organiser: amazzony]
TO; League of Cadets [organiser: gameplayer & amazzony]
TO; League of Privates [organiser: Serbia]
TO; League of Privates 1st Class [organiser: barterer2002]

TO; League of Lieutenants [organiser: dittoeevee8888]
TO; League of Captains [organiser: Gilligan]
TO; League of Majors [organiser: Natewolfman]
TO; League of Colonels+ [organiser: killmanic]
- It's almost like a 16-player bracket tournament but to win your bracket and advance to Super Finals, winning 4 games won't be enough. To win your bracket, you must win at least 44 games! How come, you ask. It's quite simple actually because it has been set up by taking Table Tennis as an example. To win a set (in our tournament set will equal to a table tennis game) you must gain at least 11 points and in our version 1 point will equal to one CC game. So, to advance to next round you will have to win 11 games and the gap between you and your opponent must be minimum 2 points (for example, 11:9). There's a cut off to avoid endless matches: first player to 15 points without 2 point gap wins and advances to next round.
- Bracket will be set up randomly with the help of List Randomizer of random.org
- One game will be played at a time and serving order (aka maps order) is like this:
- 1st serve by player 1
- 1st serve by player 2
- 2nd serve by player 1
- 2nd serve by player 2
- 3rd serve by player 1
- 3rd serve by player 2
- etc etc
- 2-player Sequential Casual
Spoils: Escalating
Fortifications: Chained
Weather: Sunny (FoW off)
Serve Order: Selected on random.org
Maps: Alternating in order of player preference as submitted
**So what are you waiting for, join by filling this form:**

BEIRUT - Syria launched a long-anticipated assault to crush the opposition in the rebellious north on Saturday, bombarding its main city with tank shells from all sides and clashing with rebel fighters struggling to hold back an invasion.
President Bashar Assad rejected any immediate negotiations with the opposition, striking a further blow to already staggering international efforts for talks to end to the conflict. Assad told U.N. envoy Kofi Annan that a political solution is impossible as long as "terrorist groups" threaten the country.
The opposition's political leadership has also rejected dialogue, saying talk is impossible after a yearlong crackdown that the U.N. estimates has killed more than 7,500 people. That makes it likely that the conflict will continue to edge toward civil war.
Syrian forces have been building up for days around Idlib, the capital of a hilly, agricultural province along the Syria-Turkey border that has been a hotbed of protests against Assad's regime.
Saturday morning, troops blasted Idlib for hours with dozens of tank shells as the forces moved to encircle the town, an Associated Press team in Idlib reported.
Families fled their homes, carrying blankets and a few other meager belongings. Others huddled in homes.
Rebel fighters rushed through Idlib's streets, taking cover behind walls to fire on the attackers with automatic weapons, the AP team said. Trucks sped wounded fighters to clinics, and men on one street destroyed speed bumps with shovels so ambulances could drive faster. Many low-level soldiers in the area have joined the opposition and fight along with civilians who have taken up arms as part of the loosely organized Free Syrian Army.
Many fear the offensive in Idlib could end up like the regime's campaign against a rebel-held neighborhood in the central city of Homs. Troops besieged and shelled Baba Amr for weeks before capturing it on March 1. Activists say hundreds were killed, and a U.N. official who visited the area this week said she was "horrified" by the destruction in the district, now virtually deserted.
Late Saturday, Idlib activist Fadi al-Yassin said the army had closed off the city's main exits, making harder for civilians to flee. Rebel fighters destroyed six armored trucks in an ambush and shot down one helicopter with a high-caliber machine gun, he said.
Al-Yassin estimated that the city has as many as 1,000 fighters, but that they have mostly light arms and are short on ammunition. Most supply lines have been cut.
"The Free Army will able to keep them out for a while, but if they cannot get more weapons and if the army keeps shelling from outside, they won't be able to hold out," he said.
"Right now their morale is very high," he said. But, he added, "We worry that what happened in Baba Amr will happen here."
In the evening, clashes eased, with occasional shells falling on the city, al-Yassin said. He said many were killed and injured but could not be taken to the central hospital because regime forces controlled it and other government buildings.
Regime forces ambushed a group of rebels heading to Idlib to join the fight, killing 16, according to two activist groups - the Local Coordination Committees and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Observatory said 17 civilians were killed in Idlib province Saturday, part of 28 killed nationwide. It said five other rebels were killed in fighting elsewhere, and that 19 regime troops were killed in Idlib and outside of Damascus. The LCC said 63 were killed nationwide, including 46 in Idlib province.
Al-Yassin's claims and the death tolls could not be independently verified.
The visit to Damascus by Annan, a former U.N. secretary-general, is the centerpiece of a high-profile international attempt to find a solution to the worsening conflict amid sharp divisions among world powers and Arab countries over how to deal with the crisis.
Annan planned a second round of talks with the Syrian president on Sunday, the U.N. spokesperson's office said in a statement.
Annan's call for an immediate cease-fire and political dialogue has been dismissed as a nonstarter by both sides. In his talks Saturday with Assad, Annan put "several proposals on the table" for stopping violence, gaining access for humanitarian aid deliveries to Syrians and starting an "inclusive political dialogue," the U.N. statement said.
Assad told Annan the plan was doomed "as long as there are armed terrorist groups that work to spread anarchy and destabilize the country," according to Syria's state news agency. The regime blames the uprising on terrorists serving a foreign conspiracy.
That appeared to signal that there could be no talks until the opposition is crushed.
The head of the Syrian National Council, the most prominent opposition group, said Friday that calls for dialogue are naive while Assad's troops continue to kill. Many in the opposition want military aid.
The uprising began a year ago with anti-Assad protests in some of Syria's impoverished provinces. As the regime cracked down, the protests spread and some took up arms to defend themselves and attack government troops. Activists put the death toll at more than 8,000, compared to the U.N. count of more than 7,500.
Despite mounting international condemnation, Russia and China have stood by Assad and protected him from censure by the U.N. Security Council.
In a tense meeting with Arab foreign ministers at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov defended his country.
"We are not protecting any regimes," he said. "We certainly believe that all outside actors must be extremely careful in addressing problems which your countries are facing."
Qatari Prime Minster Sheik Hamad bin Jassem Al Thani struck back.
"There are no armed gangs, there are systematic killings," he said.
In the end, the Arab League and Lavrov agreed on five points that could serve as the basis for a future U.N. Security Council resolution: an immediate cease-fire, a clause preventing foreign intervention, assurances about humanitarian aid and an endorsement of Annan's mission.
The League's backing down on previous demands for Assad to leave power appeared aimed at securing Russian support for a new resolution.
"Its not a perfect world," League chief Nabil Elaraby said.
Still, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said he doubted any new resolution could be pushed through because of a lack of consensus among countries over the text and Russia's opposition.
Western powers have said they will not intervene militarily in Syria as they did last year against Moammar Gadhafi in Libya. Top officials in Saudi Arabia and Qatar have spoken positively of the idea of arming the rebels, but have not announced concrete plans.
While President Barack Obama has said Assad's days are numbered, recent U.S. intelligence reports suggest the conflict could go on for months, since Assad still commands a formidable army and inner circle that remain loyal and an elite that backs his rule.
Intelligence analysts say Syria's disorganized opposition has yet to pose a serious challenge to the army, which boasts 330,000 soldiers plus reserves, formidable air defense systems and stockpiles of chemical weapons.

Double Fault: A Novel (Paperback)
Tennis has been Willy Novinsky's one love ever since she first picked up a racquet at the age of four. A middle-ranked pro at twenty-three, she's met her match in Eric Oberdorf, a low-ranked, untested Princeton grad who also intends to make his mark on the international tennis circuit. Eric becomes Willy's first passion off the court, and eventually they marry. But while wedded life begins well, full-tilt competition soon puts a strain on their relationship—and an unexpected accident sends driven and gifted Willy sliding irrevocably toward resentment, tragedy, and despair.
From acclaimed author Lionel Shriver comes a brilliant and unflinching novel about the devastating cost of prizing achievement over love.
About the Author
Lionel Shriver's novels include The New Republic, So Much for That, The Post-Birthday World, and the international bestseller We Need to Talk About Kevin. Her journalism has appeared in The Guardian, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and many other publications.
Praise For…
"Shriver explores the obsessive side of Willy's character and confronts some disconcerting truths that defy a pat, politically correct resolution….Shriver shows in a masterstroke why character is fate and how sport reveals it."
— New York Times Book Review
"A brilliant tale of doomed love….This is not a novel about tennis or rivalry; it's about love, marriage and the balance of power in relationships….Double Fault is a compelling and playfully ironic take on the sex wars, blistering with…brilliant writing and caustic language."
— The Observer (London)
"[Lionel Shriver] has written a gorgeous, compelling tragedy in which she stays with her game every step of the way."
— Dallas Morning News
"Lionel Shriver has something new….Whether you go for tennis or not, the furious back-and-forth of the game in Double Fault can hypnotize you….Shriver brings an insider's knowledge and a truly athletic prose to her descriptions of what happens on the court."
— New York Newsday
"Shriver's novel provides an eye-opening and authentic look at the cutthroat world of pro tennis, but it's more than just a sports expose. It's the melancholy and tempestuous story of two people whose love couldn't survive their own selfishness."
— Booklist
"Fully using the strongest part of her game--psychological insight--Shriver tracks the fleeting joy and prolonged despair of a young couple....[Double Fault is a] moving, resonant tale of two sparkling careers and two decent people unable to live in harmony."
— Kirkus Reviews
"Double Fault combines the urgency of a page-turner with the satisfactions of fine style... powerful, provocative, and unrelenting."
— Scott Spencer, author of Endless Love and Waking the Dead
"I can only hope that with Double Fault Lionel Shriver recieves the acclaim she has so long deserved...It belongs on that shelf of books you will return to again and again."
— Harry Crews, author of A Feast of Snakes and Body

Cisco Completes the Acquisition of JouleX
JouleX's energy management solution provides businesses the ability to measure, monitor, and manage their network's energy usage.
Cisco has completed the integration of JouleX, a leading innovator in energy management solutions that provides organizations the ability to see, measure, and manage their IT energy use for all network-connected devices and systems across the enterprise, including distributed offices and data centers. On November 20, 2013, the Cisco EnergyWise Suite (formerly JouleX Energy Manager Solutions) became orderable on the Cisco Global Price List (GPL).
- Q: How does this acquisition align to Cisco's five priorities?
- A: This acquisition exemplifies Cisco's innovation framework and supports Cisco's five foundational priorities by enhancing our service offering across all customer segments and advancing our business and technology architecture. The JouleX acquisition is aligned to Cisco's goals of developing and delivering innovative energy management solutions that streamline data and work flow across a unified network.
- Q: How will the JouleX technology further support customer solutions already in place, such as EnergyWise?
- A: JouleX's technology has been compatible with the EnergyWise ecosystem since 2011. It allows Cisco to enable partners and customers greater reach into the IP network to monitor energy costs, help optimize energy consumption and increase data center efficiency and capacity.
- Q: The cloud-based energy management systems space is a relatively new market. Why is this particular market a key area of focus for Cisco Services?
- A: In general, the cost of energy and energy consumption are of increasing importance, globally. Network- based consumption on average comprises 25 percent of an enterprise's energy use, and continues to grow. Therefore, the management of network consumption (or energy) from the cloud is critical.

Yesterday the focus of investors' attention was on the newly declared dividend at Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), helped by the highest level of homebuilders' confidence in five years and another drive higher by the financial stocks.
At the close, the Dow Industrials had gained 7 points at 13,239, the S&P 500 rose 6 points to 1,410, and the Nasdaq gained 23 to close at 3,078. Volume on the NYSE retreated to 721 million shares compared to the burst of volume on Friday due to options' closing day. Nasdaq traded 403 million shares. Advancers were ahead of decliners on both exchanges by about 1.7-to-1.
As one technician put it, "The market seems to be on autopilot." In other words, the technical action remains bullish buoyed by a string of breakouts and accompanied by strong breadth and renewed buying in financial and
transportation stocks.
The S&P 500 broke to another multiyear high yesterday and will probably keep slugging along unless the upper support line at 1,400 is penetrated on a reversal. Traders should use that line as a stop-loss for any index-related short-term trades. A serious caution flag would fly if the 500 broke the bottom of the support zone at 1,375 to 1,400. I summarized the support and target areas for the various markets on Thursday and Friday, and I refer you to them for guidance.
Looking for Bargains
With Brent Crude Oil pushing $125 a barrel and gasoline prices rising each day, other sources of energy are again being considered. In this country, coal has fallen to less than 40% of the overall sources of power generation after being the main source for years.
Now with natural gas so cheap, many power plants are converting to that fuel. But that's not the case worldwide. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy expects global demand for coal to climb to 50% by 2035. That may seem a long way off, but the point is that total demand for coal isn't shrinking. Thus, the currently ignored coal producers are probably bargains now.
Click to EnlargeThe Market Vectors Coal ETF (NYSE:KOL) contains stocks like Peabody Energy (NYSE:BTU) and Consol Energy (NYSE:CNX), which owns its own port and thus ships coal with lower costs. The ETF has fallen from over $50 last April to the low $30s — a bargain. Note the stochastic buy and the recent pickup in accumulation. For those willing to wait, this ETF is one of the ignored bargains.

In 1970, Agnes Stanley donated two acres to the Garden Grove Historical Society. This house, Arthur's barn, tank house and her son Emerson's home were also donated to the Garden Grove Historical Society. The two acre property is now known as the Stanley Ranch Museum and some of Garden Grove's oldest homes and business buildings have been moved to this location. Maintenance is done by members through contributions of time, financial donations and income from fundraisers. The Stanley Ranch Museum is owned by the Garden Grove Historical Society which is a private nonprofit organization and receives no government funding.
The Ware-Stanley House, completed in 1892, is the focus home at the museum. Also included at the site are homes dating from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. Garden Grove's first post office, opened in 1877; the Electric Shoe Shop/Barber Shop; and Garden Grove's #1 fire engine, a 1926 American La France, are part of the exhibits. One of the most popular attractions is the Walt Disney Studio Garage which was relocated to the former ranch site in the 1980's.

Doubt: A Parable is a 2004 play by John Patrick Shanley that won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award for Best Play. Shanley also directed a movie version in 2008 featuring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis, all of whom were nominated for Academy Awards.
I had my own doubts about Thingamajig Theatre Companys production of the play at Pagosa Springs Center for Arts, given the bar that had been set by the film. Regional audiences will more likely have seen the movie than a production of the play, and Im pleased to say that they will not be disappointed in the acting, the sets and the quality of this production.
Thingamajig is entering its second year, and it has already staged 10 significant productions. Some have worked better than others, and I have been concerned that they were trying to do too many productions featuring artistic director Tim Moore and his wife, Laura, in key acting and directing roles. The couple has imported actors from Denver for past productions. But for Doubt, local and regional actors play the four characters, including the Moores as Father Flynn and Sister Aloysius, in addition to Anna Hershey as Sister James and Sharina Ramsey-Adams as Mrs. Muller.
The play is set in the fall of 1964 in the fictional St. Nicholas Church School in the Bronx. It opens with Father Flynn, a beloved and progressive parish priest, reflecting upon the assassination of President Kennedy the year before. He addresses the doubt and fear sparked by that event: Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty.
In equally weighted contrast to Father Flynn is Sister Aloysius (played by Streep in the film), the school principal who is rigidly conservative and insists on constant vigilance.
During a meeting with the younger nun and teacher Sister James, we learn that Aloysius deeply mistrusts her students, her fellow clergy and sisters and society in general.
Sister James reports to Aloysius that Father Flynn has met one-on-one with Donald Muller, the schools first African-American student.
Unclear circumstances lead Aloysius to believe that sexual misconduct has occurred. She confronts Father Flynn under the guise of discussing the Christmas pageant, forcing Sister James to be present.
Flynn denies any wrongdoing, insisting he was disciplining Donald for drinking altar wine while trying to prevent his removal from the altar boys. Sister James is relieved, believing Flynns explanation.
Flynns next sermon is on the evils of gossip. But Sister Aloysius is undeterred and meets with Donalds mother. Despite Aloysius accusations, Mrs. Muller stands by her son and his relationship with Father Flynn saying that he only need remain in school until June and then he will be off to high school. During her pivotal scene, Mrs. Muller hints that Donald may be that way, and suggests that her husband beats him.
The setting and costumes are well done as usual. Tim Moore as Flynn speaks with a slight Bronx brogue that sounds accurate, and I felt as if I were in church because of the intimacy of the theater. And when Flynn addressed the audience from the pulpit in his liturgical attire, I almost felt compelled to cross myself.
Laura Moore as Sister Aloysius is harsh, critical and never once flinches. She doesnt need a ruler to instill fear.
Hershey is ideally cast as Sister James, and Thingamajig newcomer
Ramsey-Adams is achingly tragic as Mrs. Muller.
As the play progresses, the doubt builds and is never resolved, leaving each audience member to draw his or her own conclusion. Do you identify with Father Flynn? Are you more in line with Sister Aloysius? Or are you sympathetic and like Sister James?
Thingamajigs production is performed in one act and runs about 90 minutes, leaving plenty of time for audience members to discuss their differing opinions about the play over a cup of coffee or a cocktail in the lobby.

SKA committee defers final decision
Australia/NZ still in running for super-scope
The Australia-New Zealand bid to host the Euro1.5 billion Square Kilometre Array (SKA)uber satellite project is not lost. Despite reports earlier in the month that recommendations had been tipping rival bidder South Africa in the box seat, the SKA Organisation said it will delay its decision to further discuss the opportunities.
D-day had been set for April 3, but SKA said "is not likely that this meeting will make a final decision on the site; rather it will be the start of a process of discussion and negotiation between the members." The panel of voting countries has been also been expanded to include Canada in addition to China, the UK, Netherlands and Italy.
The project involves around 3000 radio telescopes and has the potential to create a micro industry around big data for the winning host company and around 500 high tech jobs.
The Board will next meet in Amsterdam on 4 April 2012 for one of its quarterly meetings to oversee the activities of the SKA Organisation. Construction on the project is slated to start as early as 2016. Once completed, the array will comprise several thousand antennas up to 5,000 kms apart operating as a single instrument. The SKA has been designed to have 10,000 times the potential of existing telescopes.
WA Premier Colin Barnett told press recently that the bid was far from over: "There are still a number of processes to go through and I still believe very firmly that Australia is the best location for this extraordinary piece of science. It would be disappointing (if we did not succeed) and we still believe that Australia and particularly the WA site is the best site."
The WA State Government has committed AUD$70 million to the project while at a federal level $400 million has been devoted to an adjunct project, the Australian SKA Pathfinder, which will result in 36 radio telescope dishes being located in the Mid-West region.

A bit to the south is Travelodge Wynyard. Use it as a springboard to tour the Sydney Opera House, or let the staff pamper you when you arrange for breakfast to be delivered via room service. After all, you're not on holiday if you haven't had brekkie in bed.

The area that became Augusta County was settled primarily by the Scots-Irish in the early 1730s. Formed from Orange County, Augusta County was created in 1738 by an Act of the General Assembly which provided that its territory should remain a part of Orange County until there were sufficient inhabitants to support a local government. The first Court was held in 1745. The primary religion of the area was Presbyterian and the early settlers lost no time in forming the Triple Forks of the Shenandoah Congregation. The Tinkling Spring Meeting House, the simple log structure shown at the right, was the first Presbyterian church in the Shenandoah Valley.

MUTEK.ES Previews: Interview with Raime
RAIME will perform on Thursday February 7th for A/Visions 1 at The Station, Estación Francia.
Beto Vidal - January 30, 2013
The rawness, the helplessness, fear, or, in short, the horror in some form, should not always be categorized from aversion. The London duo Raime have been transforming anxiety into something stunning and sublime. With a new LP and debut of their A/V show in Spain, Raime will visit us in February in Barcelona as part of the Micro_MUTEK festival [ES] to prove that even anguish can be beautiful.
Q: After three great EPs/12"s on the Blackest Ever Black label, finally we have in our hands your debut. Is your LP the continuum & culmination of the ideas that you want to show with your music?
R: Its always a continual process. You learn from each record you put out, how you could have conveyed an idea better, or how you could have explored things differently. Naturally it culminates from ideas in previous works, but its an ongoing development, there's still more to be said.
Q: But on the other hand, 'Quarter Turns Over A Living Line' looks more experimental (less percussion oriented, for example), compared with the EP trilogy, right?
R: The LP format gave us a larger degree of freedom within our approach to writing. It allowed individual tracks more room to encapsulate a certain idea or sentiment without the need to overload, therefore giving those particular ideas more clarity. In doing so, this enabled us to give the album a narrative structure and contour to the work as a whole. The previous EP Hennail had a lot more percussion and the narrative created within each track is very much dictated by how rhythmic devices present elements to you. This can be somewhat limiting and we didnt want to be as cornered by this method when making the LP.
Q: Do you feel that your sound & style has been growing so fast since the first EP? If so, do you have the sensation that you have the control of everything that's happening to Raime lately?
R: Musically we keep control, its all about control for us really and I guess thats the reason its takes us a long time to produce the finished music because we like to make sure nothing is out of place. However what happens after the music is presented to the outside world is totally beyond our control and we feel pretty lucky that this part of it has gone ok so far. When we finished the album, we weren't sure if anyone would want to listen to it, you get into your own little world with it and after a while you can't tell what anyone else will think...
Q: How did you record the album? I mean, there are some classic instruments (like guitars) & some other industrial sounds that I'd love to know how you create/record them in the studio. What machines/software do you use?
R: We did lots of different recording sessions in the hope of capturing a variety of textures and sounds. Whether it be guitars, cello, drums or field recordings, we're always seeking to push those sources until you start to get results which are much further removed from the point of departure. Afterwards you can then isolate those tiny inflections, incidental passages or weird harmonics. When recording you need to be focussed on the kind of things you want to achieve, but remain open enough to experimentation and allow unexpected things to arise. The post production process is all about choice selections from those sessions, and then combining / juxtaposing elements in an arrangement that creates a sense of place.
Q: It's clear that your sound could be described as 'Dark industrial' and explores the coldest post-punk scene. What records do you like the most of that post-punk industrial age? What artists inspire you the most from that time?
R: Probably the two most inspiring and innovative groups from that time for us are Cabaret Voltaire and Ike Yard. They were both making music with a combination of electronic and traditional instruments in such a way that it always sounded like the perfect combination of both. Their attitude was exploratory and pretty avant garde but still rooted in rhythm and propulsion. Ike Yard especially had a woodenness and almost organicness to the electronics making something that was as immersive as it was aggressive. Cabaret Voltaire on the other hand were the masters of chaos and order in equal measure.
Q: By the way, you sound also look aligned with the political ethos & hard environment of the times we are living… I guess not intentionally, but really looks like the OST of the rotten times we have to see…
R: Well, we can't profess to have an overwhelming optimism for the forthcoming decades. It doesn't take much to be aware that the trajectory of humankind is one of unsustainability. Something has to come to a junction at some point......
Q: I've seen you perform in Barcelona at "Electronica en Abril" mini festival last April 2011, and I was amazed about your live set. How your live has been developed since almost two years ago? Do you feel that is more improved?
R: We really enjoyed that gig at Casa Encendida and that was the last show we did before we embarked on making the main body of the album. Since then we've really tried to push our live show onwards, not just through the production of the music but also by collaborating with film-makers 'Dakus' to create new visuals for our show. These were shot over 3 days and nights in an abandoned warehouse in Lisbon with contemporary dancer Romeu Runa. We then spent a great deal of time editing and refining the imagery to hopefully work in synergy with the music.
Q: Must be hard to convert your music into a live form… How do you prepare them?
R: We want to execute and deliver our shows in the right way and therefore that does limit some of the elements you can perform live. We will deconstruct our tracks and then reconstruct live. We cant generate a lot of our recorded sounds live but we can trigger them, rearrange them, re-appropriate them and fx them.
Q: Publishing in Blackest Ever Black your debut, feels like closing the circle you started inaugurating the first label release?
R: I don't think we see it as a circle as we hope there will be alot more to come but it does feel like a point to remember. Neither ourselves or Kiran (Head of BEB) knew if we would get to this stage as artists or indeed a label but we feel incredibly pleased to get here together.

As expected, Enphase is moving to a new family of plastic-enclosed inverters which utilize a new two-wire AC wiring system know as the IQ family. The specifications for the new plastic inverters roughly match those of their fifth-generation products with the exceptions that the higher-power unit supports 72-cell PV modules and they are not compatible with Engage.
The new two-wire cabling system should prove to be both cheaper and more flexible than Engage.
Finally, it appears that the new inverters and wiring system require the use of yet-another new Envoy to function properly. I assume this is due to the lack of a neutral line in the new wiring system.
I have to believe that this major chage is aimed squarely at trying to make Enphase' product offerings cost-competitive in the market. At the same time, making a full line of products which has little in common with their previous products leaves the door wide open to departures to competing technologies. While I don't think they really have a choice, it seems that Enphase will need a flawless rollout and rapid market acceptance of their new line in order to survive.

Say the word "snorkeling" and images of warm, azure seas and schools of eye-popping, multi-colored fish instantly spring to mind. But try that with "Pacific Ocean" and chances are you get cold, dark, murky water instead. And that's more or less the ugly truth, with one grand exception being San Diego's magnificent La Jolla Underwater Park and Ecological Reserve. The 6,000-acre marine refuge, a nook on the Pacific coastline dubbed America's Riviera, may still be on the chilly side (even in summer, when it fails to reach 65 degrees), but the 30-foot visibility in its waters and variety of sea life more than make up for it. The SoCal sea here teems with life around the two reefs (and seven caves): Garibaldi (the orange California state fish), eels, guitarfish, sheephead, rays, leopard sharks (and sometimes some of their larger, white relatives), large black sea bass, agile dolphins, and a healthy (and noisy) community of seals to boot.
San Diego Bike and Kayak tours offers a few ways of getting close to the ocean action, but we prefer the "kayak and snorkel" package. The 2.5-hour tour includes a basic plastic sit-on-top sea kayak (which is plenty stable for beginners) and all your snorkeling gear. A guide takes you through the kelp forest – giant, 90-foot-long strands of spinachy, fast-growing seaweed – on the way to 7 Caves, spotting seals and other wildlife along the way. It's not adrenaline-spiking adventure travel, but it's an enlightening glimpse into the wildlife-dense habitat, and pretty unique for the West Coast in general. And it's just a plain relaxing, fun way to spend a day that's appropriate for all ages. [From $52; sandiegobikeandkayaktours.com]

Just Save Lives
If your kidney, heart or liver has failed, the best way to return to a normal life is to undergo an organ transplant.
Due to the complexity of any organ transplant procedure, people who need an organ transplant often enter a very long waiting list and while waiting, their medical condition gets worse.
With more and more transplants being done daily throughout the world, the level of expertise for transplant doctors and hence the success rate of transplants is increasing. The long term survival rates from both a live donor and a deceased donor have also increased exponentially in recent years.
Transplants have dramatically improved many people's lives and enabled them to be active, healthy members of their community.
On top of the health advantages a transplant has over ongoing medical treatment, there are significant cost benefits to transplants when compared with the ongoing cost of treatment (such as dialysis for those suffering from renal failure) in the long run.
Our company has proven knowledge, hundreds of success stories and a considerable amount of accumulated experience in the field of organ transplantation – focusing on heart, liver and kidney transplants.
We employ professional consultants in all relevant fields to make sure our organ transplant patients get the best service possible. From medical experts, to personal assistants and professionals from the medical insurance field – our team will ensure that a matching donor is located as quickly as possible, and all of the legal paperwork and insurance arrangements are taken care of without any stress.
Our company provides all of the necessary services for organ transplants in accordance with the applicable law.
If you or someone close to you needs a transplant, contact us today for a free consultation, tell us about your medical condition, and we'll do our best to help.

Brisbane Australia July 2000: On the supermarket checkout line one evening, there is a guy in his twenties red hair and looks a bit lost, his name was Steven Goldsmith, he had come to my door a couple years before hawking a book of his poetry.
He was wearing worn football shorts, sneakers, T shirt and light jacket, the line I was in ran parallel to his while he shuffled forward open faced and vulnerable, he was with a fellow who was a regular patron of the local gym, who was a policeman as far as I knew, who saw me looking and glared.
A couple days later Goldsmith was reported missing by a flatmate who has not seen him for several days .. after getting no response from an internet campaign, in 2006 contacting Queensland Police Missing Persons, and saying I had information re this young man's disappearance, the woman to whom I was directed said her name was Clair, then got bitchy and hung up.
Ringing back she would provide no further information like her full name and police rank, and when I protested she got bitchy and hung up again, going into Police HQ in Brisbane the next day, Dec 28, 2006, and telling them I wished to report a sighting, the police at the desk told me to "get out."
Steven Goldsmith was a Jew, his disappearance appears to be ground work for future charges Jews have been "disappeared," while nobody gave a good G-d damn becuz they were Jews!Katherine Schweitzer's body was discovered in a wheely bin, inside her high security Sydney apartment, on the evening of the same day, she said that her family was arrested, and sent to Auschwitz in 1944, whence only she survived out of fourteen, by another Jew who had taken up residence on her same street.
Update: While doing additional research, Googling Steven Goldsmith, a listing for Australian Missing Persons @supernerd.com, contacting them in November 2006 and telling them the whole story, and that this was only one of many cases re inadequate police response re murder.
Early May 2007 the same ppl @ Supernerd.com, said an Australian TV Station had contacted them re this young man's disappearance, that they had advised the television people of the connection to Fitzone Gym, that the TV people had contacted both the Gym in question, and the supermarket where I had reported the sighting,
Whereas the supermarket said security footage from that far back was no longer available, and the Gym said Steven Goldsmith had never been a member .. no one ever said Goldsmith was a member, the person with him on the night he disappeared was for a period of years, a regular and prominent member of a clique of undesirables who frequented the gym.
Who were police as far as I knew since they looked and acted like police, and drove half broke down old automobiles which is what police drive, which leads to the conclusion the Australian Missing Persons @ supernerd.com website, is a false flag op in the matter of murder and disappearance.
http://www.dockersunion.net/vb/showthread.php?31-Jeff-Gannon-is-Johnny-Gosch !The height of cynicism: This poster has recently appeared in Sydney Street New Farm, adjacent to Mr Goldsmith's previous residence!
The whole case resonates with the Johnny Gosh case in the United States, he was abducted at twelve years of age in a highly publicized kidnap, to become a "Milk Carton Kid," his image was published on some billions of milk cartons across the USA .. during which campaign he was photographed in company with George HW Bush, the then Vice President of the United States!
In 1978 after criminal charges were levied, against one Police Superintendent Tony Murphy, at whose behest Billy McCulken says he bombed Torino's, Mr McCulkens wife and two beautiful school age daughters disappeared.Editorial:This case is the tip of an iceberg of murder and disappearance, that has characterized political and police activity here, at least since the 1973 fire bombing of the Whiskey Au Go Go nightclub, in which fifteen ppl died, an earlier firebomb had devastated Torino's, another night spot located in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley.
1978 The Coroner recommended Vincent O'Dempsy and another man, be charged with three counts of murder, evidence linked the pair to police, who wanted to urge a Billy McCulken not to testify in a court case then pending, which concerned police corruption, the victims were Mr McCulken's wife and daughters.
The Crown Prosecutor did not proceed in the matter, issuing a terse statement that in his opinion, evidence valid in the Coroner's Court, was invalid in the Supreme Court, because some of it was hearsay.
No bodies have ever been found, 0'Dempsy is said to be the proprietor of a private cemetery, and an associate of Les Smith, both of whom are known associates of former Acting Police Commissioner, Ron Redmond.We contend at the P&D's that Kay Chambers was murdered to silence her
Angelo Vasta was DPP in 1978, who decided not to prosecute 0'Dempsy and the other man, recalling evidence the Coroner heard Mrs M and the girls firstly did all they could to fulfill the sexual fantasies of their assailants hoping thus to save their lives, after that the screaming went on for hours before they died.
Recalling Vasta being elevated some short time later, to the bench, from where he was removed in 1988, allegedly because he maintained an allegedly unhealthy relationship, with senior police who had been adversely named in evidence.

Robust steering rack bearing
The new robust steering rack bearing by SKF enables a more smooth and precise steering
SKF launched a robust steering rack bearing, offering increased durability, high shock load resistance and reduced friction torque. This bearing enables a smoother and more precise steering for cars.
"SKFs new robust steering rack bearing directly supports drivers to handle their cars in a safer and more comfortable way with a more precise steering", says Andrea Griseri, Business Development Manager, BU Car Chassis, SKF Automotive. "Usage of EPS is increasing in vehicles produced today and it is a demanding steering application. We have met the very high demands with our new innovative design for this bearing".
The new design and improvements for the robust steering rack bearing includes an optimised internal geometry comprising optimised shoulders to support high loads and shocks, as well as reduced friction torque. The new patented cage design enables the balls to move more free and their movements are not disturbed by the cage pockets. A new cleanliness standard enables reduced number of particles inside the bearing. The combination of all those features allowed bearing friction reduction by around 30% in average, with a better loads resistance up to 17%, and durability increased by 20%.
The start of production as well as the size of this bearing can be customized depending on requirements.
The robust steering rack bearing can be produced in any of SKFs manufacturing facilities in Americas, Europe and Asia.

Despite a wet spring that has brought anywhere from 6.5 to 11 inches of precipitation to the region over the last three months, there are parts of northeast Colorado that are in drought conditions.
According to the latest report from the U.S. Drought Monitor — released June 26 — that includes the eastern edge of Logan County, as well as all of Phillips and Sedgwick counties.
In fact, the data show that about half of Colorado remains dryer than normal, with the worst conditions in the southeast corner of the state. In Logan County, the areas in drought are categorized as "abnormally dry," the lightest intensity classification for drought conditions.
Information from the High Plains Regional Climate Center shows that rainfall in May and June was 110 to 150 percent of "normal" levels in Logan County; however, adding in April data and the precipitation was anywhere from 90 to 120 percent of normal.
On April 1, the Drought Monitor showed Logan County was 100 percent drought-free, but conditions worsened through April; by April 29, most of the county was considered "abnormally dry," and the report from a week later shows about half of the county was in moderate drought. The drought conditions improved, though, through the May rainfall, and have remained fairly stable since June 10.
A year ago, nearly all of Logan County was classified in severe drought, while to the east was extreme drought.
The Colorado State Forest Service this week issued watering tips for homeowners to help keep their trees healthy during drought.
"Adequately watering your trees is the best way to ensure optimum growth and vigor during the summer months," said Keith Wood, community forestry program manager for the Colorado State Forest Service. "Dry trees become susceptible to root and branch die-back and subsequent insect and disease problems."
Tips for healthy trees:
• Water a wide area. Tree root systems, unlike carrots, may spread two to three times wider than the height of the tree, with most absorbing roots in the top foot of soil. Apply water to soak the entire area underneath the full span of a tree's branches.
• Water slowly. To ensure deep penetration, use a deep root fork (inserted 8 inches or less), soaker hose on low setting or soft spray wand to apply water slowly to the full area.
• Keep the yard green. Trees located in irrigated lawns generally do not require additional water, as long as the area surrounding the tree receives adequate moisture. Conversely, a dry, yellow yard means the roots of any trees present are also dry.
• Focus on non-irrigated trees. Trees that do not receive water from sprinkler systems or irrigation require additional water. Every week, apply 10 gallons of water for each inch of tree trunk diameter. Water newly planted trees even more frequently; larger trees, which have extensive root systems, can be watered less frequently.
• Mulch. Mulch is an inexpensive solution to retain soil moisture and save water. Apply 4 inches of organic mulch onto bare soil within 2 to 3 feet from the base of the trunk (removing any grass first, if necessary). Do not allow the mulch to directly contact the trunk.
