Fort Madison is a city and a county seat of Lee County, Iowa, United States[6] along with Keokuk. Of Iowa's 99 counties, Lee County is the only one with two county seats. The population was 11,051 at the 2010 census. Located along the Mississippi River in the state's southeast corner, it lies between small bluffs along one of the widest portions of the river.
Fort Madison was founded at the location of the first U.S. military fort in the upper Mississippi region.[7] A replica of the fort stands along the river.[8] Sheaffer Pens were developed and made in Fort Madison for many years. The city is the location of the Iowa State Penitentiary—the state's maximum security prison for men. Fort Madison is the Mississippi river crossing and station stop for Amtrak's Southwest Chief. Fort Madison has the last remaining double swing-span bridge on the Mississippi River, the Fort Madison Toll Bridge. It has a top level for cars and a similar level for trains; it is also the world's largest [1]. The Fort Madison Downtown Commercial Historic District is a collection of well-preserved historic storefronts from the late 19th century.
The Original Fort Madison (1808–1813)[edit]
The city of Fort Madison was established around the site of the historic Fort Madison (1808–1813), which was the first permanent U.S. military fortification on the Upper Mississippi. Fort Madison was the site of Black Hawk's first battle against U.S. troops, the only real War of 1812 battle fought west of the Mississippi. It was also the location of the first U.S. military cemetery in the upper Midwest.[9] The fort was named for James Madison, fourth President of the United States.[10]
Fort Madison was one of three posts established by the U.S. Army to establish control over the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territories. Fort Madison was built to control trade and pacify Native Americans in the Upper Mississippi River region. The other two posts were Fort Belle Fontaine near St. Louis, which controlled the mouth of the Missouri, and Fort Osage, near what is now Kansas City, which controlled trade with western Native American tribes.[11]
Location of the fort[edit]
A disputed 1804 treaty with the Sauk and affiliated tribes led to the U.S. claim of control over western Illinois and parts of what is now Iowa. To establish control, the U.S. Army set out to construct a post near the mouth of the Des Moines River, a major trading route into the interior of Iowa. Not finding suitable land near the mouth of the Des Moines, the expedition also considered land near Quashquame's Sauk and Meskwaki village at the head of the Des Moines Rapids, a choke point of trade and transportation on the Upper Mississippi below modern Montrose. Again, this land was not considered suitable for a fort. The Army settled on a location several miles upstream at what is now the city of Fort Madison.[12]
First called Fort Belleview, this post was soon deemed inadequate. It was poorly situated at the base of a bluff next to a deep ravine, areas from which enemies could safely fire at the fort. Trade led to resentment among Indians, especially the Sauk; the 1804 treaty was considered invalid by the Sauk, the fort threatened established trading networks, and American trade goods were considered inferior to French or British goods.[13]
Black Hawk lamented over the new fort, and disparaged its construction in his autobiography:
- A number of people immediately went down to see what was going on, myself among them. On our arrival we found that they were building a fort. The soldiers were busily engaged in cutting timber, and I observed that they took their arms with them when they went to the woods. The whole party acted as they would do in an enemy's country. The chiefs held a council with the officers, or head men of the party, which I did not attend, but understood from them that the war chief had said that they were building homes for a trader who was coming there to live, and would sell us goods very cheap, and that the soldiers were to remain to keep him company. We were pleased at this information and hoped that it was all true, but we were not so credulous as to believe that all these buildings were intended merely for the accommodation of a trader. Being distrustful of their intentions, we were anxious for them to leave off building and go back down the river.

Being distrustful of their intentions, we were anxious for them to leave off building and go back down the river.
Attacks on Fort Madison[edit]
Almost from the beginning, the fort was attacked by Sauk and other tribes. U.S. troops were harassed when they left the fort, and in April 1809 an attempted storming of the fort was stopped only by threat of cannon fire.[14]
During its existence, several improvements were made to the fort, including reinforcing the stockade and making it higher, extending the fort to a nearby bluff to provide cover from below, and constructing of additional blockhouses outside the stockade. These improvements could not fully compensate for the poor location of the fort, however, and it was again attacked in March 1812, and was the focus of a coordinated siege in the following September. The September siege was intense, and the fort was nearly overrun. Significant damage resulted to fort-related buildings, and the attack was only stopped when cannon fire destroyed a fortified Indian position.[15] Black Hawk participated in the siege, and claimed to have personally shot the fort's flag down.[16]
Final siege and abandonment[edit]
As the War of 1812 expanded to the frontier, British-allied Sauk and other tribes began a determined effort to push out the Americans and reclaim control of the upper Mississippi. Beginning in July 1813, attacks on troops outside the fort led to another siege. Conditions were so dangerous that the bodies of soldiers killed outside the fort could not be recovered, and troops could not leave the fort to collect firewood. Outbuildings were intentionally burned by the Army to prevent them from falling into Indian hands.[17]
After weeks of paralyzing siege, the Army finally abandoned the post, burning it as they evacuated. They retreated in the dark through a trench to the river, where they escaped on boats. The date of the abandonment is unknown, as much of the military correspondence from this period of the war is missing, but it probably happened in September.[17] Black Hawk observed the ruins soon after. "We started in canoes, and descended the Mississippi, until we arrived near the place where Fort Madison had stood. It had been abandoned and burned by the whites, and nothing remained but the chimneys. We were pleased to see that the white people had retired from the country."[16]
Three active battalions of the current 3rd Infantry (1–3 Inf, 2–3 Inf and 4-3 Inf) perpetuate the lineage of the old 1st Infantry Regiment, which had a detachment at Fort Madison.
Fort ruins and archaeology[edit]
Early settlers built their homes near the ruins, and the town that grew up around them was named for the fort.[7] A large monument was erected in the early 20th century at the fort location. Archaeological excavations in the parking lot of the Sheaffer Pen Company factory in 1965 exposed the central blockhouse of the fort, as well as the foundations of officers' quarters.[18] The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[5] A replica fort was built several blocks away; much of the labor was supplied by volunteer inmates at the nearby Iowa State Penitentiary.[8]
Preservation and threats to the fort site[edit]
The fort site is now the subject of preservation efforts. After the Sheaffer Pen factory closed in 2007, the site was sold to developers. Arguing that Fort Madison is "Iowa's most important historical site", preservationists want to convert the parking lot into a memorial park dedicated to soldiers killed at the fort. So far, no agreement has been reached for its preservation.[19][20][21]
Founding of the town of Fort Madison[edit]
The first setter at the ruins of the fort was General John Holly Knapp, who in 1832 bought a claim to some land of the fort and build the first building in the fall of the same year, utilized as an Indian Supply Store. Early next spring and his cousin Nathaniel Knapp with family settled there, joined by some other settlers the same year, In June 1835, General Knapp and Nathaniel Knapp, laid out the town of Fort Madison. Due to some land title issues, in 1840 the town was relocated on the same lot lines by the government.[7]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 13.23 square miles (34.27 km2), of which, 9.49 square miles (24.58 km2) is land and 3.74 square miles (9.69 km2) is water.[2]
Fort Madison is famous for the Tri-State Rodeo, Mexican Fiesta, Balloons Over the Mississippi, Art in Central Park and Annual Lighted Parade.

IMPERIAL, Pa. – Steve Francis made a lap 19 pass on Jonathan Davenport and held off Brian Birkhofer the rest of way to pick up the win in the National Dirt Racing League PENNational 50 at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway Thursday night.
"It was nice to get a win here tonight," Francis said. "This was a brand new car and the guys did a good job with it. It was good to get one for Clint Bowyer Racing and Georgia Boot."
Francis and Tim Fuller paced the field of 26 cars to the green flag, but it was Davenport who got the early lead, rocketing from the outside of the second row around the front row starters.
Davenport was able to pull out ahead to a bit of a lead, but as the cars entered lapped traffic Francis reeled him in and slid by the No. 6 machine to take the top spot on the 19th circuit. Birkhofer quickly followed Francis around Davenport into second and they remained close together in lapped traffic until Jared Miley slowed bringing out the race's only caution on lap 24.
Once the field went back to green the top three remained in a good battle up front, while 10th starting Brandon Sheppard made a pass around Gregg Satterlee to move into fourth.
The top two cars pulled away from Davenport and as they again got into lapped traffic. Birkhofer would get within a car length of Francis, but that was about as close as he would get.
Francis stretched his lead out to about four car lengths in the latter stages of the race and it would be the 15 Clint Bowyer Racing Georgia Boot backed late model that would cross the checkered flag first in front of a large crowd at the Dirt Monster Half Mile.
"The track was great," Francis said. "It was smooth and you could run on it top to bottom."
It was Francis's first win at Pittsburgh since 1996 and his first start at the track since 2007.
"We haven't had much luck with the NDRL races and with a few laps left I got into traffic that was two wide and I thought I was going to give this one away with about five to go," Francis said. "But we were able to get by and ended up getting this one."
Kent Robinson was able to get by both Satterlee and Sheppard to finish fourth, followed by the Rocket House Car of Sheppard, who rounded out the top five. Satterlee would wind up sixth, followed by Fuller in seventh, the NDRL point leader coming into the night Chris Madden in eighth, Kenny Pettyjohn in ninth and B Main No. 2 winner Billy Moyer came home tenth.
There were 41 NDRL late models that were on hand for the races. Fuller, Francis, Birkhofer and Davenport won the heat races.

I just returned from NYC where the weather is still cold and windy, thus leaving my skin dehydrated and dry. Even with oily skin (like me), it's imperative that you moisturize. One of the biggest faux pas about oily skin is that you should dry it out... NOT TRUE... the more you dry out the skin, the more oil the skin thinks it needs to produce to counterbalance the dryness. Thus, even with oily skin, make sure to keep it hydrated. Of course, if you are prone to oiliness, it's important to find a moisturizer that is oil-free and balancing.
I have become absolutely obsessed with my dry climate skin cream.... Jurlique's Balancing Day Care Cream is heaven to the face. It doesn't over moisturize and it's great for sensitive skin. You put it on and your face literally glows - like that dewy, healthy skin look.
A word (or several...) from the company:
"A light, absorbing moisturising cream infused with the living energy of daisy, chamomile and rose, and precious plant oils to minimize the visible signs of aging. Leaves the skin with a smooth, healthy-looking glow. Ideal for maintaining balance. "
I am a huge fan of Jurlique products because they use the highest quality natural ingredients... no synthetics that just clog pores and produce "pretend" results... these products continually deliver visible, healthy skin. Over and over again. My favorite aspects of the creams is how they make your skin feel - throughout the day, skin is hydrated (never dull) and smooth (never flakey).
Sometimes I mix my Jurlique Balancing Cream with a tiny dollop of Elder Cream. The Elder Cream is a brightening moisturizer that leaves your complexion luminous. Even if I'm super tired, I put this cream on and look like I've just had eight hours of sleep (and I never cease to get a compliment about how great and hydrated my skin looks when I use it!).
Both of these moisturizers sell for $40.00.
If you still want the organic, all-natural products without the high price tag, try Weleda. Their moisturizers are just as soothing and less expensive. A comparable cream to Jurlique's Balancing Cream is Weleda's Rose Cream. It's great for balancing out normal to oily skin tones and like the Jurlique cream, it's lightweight, never oily, yet super hydrating. It retails for about $25.00.

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued notice to Delhi University on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging its proposed four-year undergraduate programme with multiple degrees in its present form. A division bench of Chief Justice D Murugesan and Justice Jayant Nath sought a response from the university by May 15. The proposed course, if introduced in present form, will cause "irreparable loss" to students with impaired vision, advocate Pankaj Sinha, appearing for petitioner NGO Sambhavana, told the court. Delhi University is to implement the four-year undergraduate programme from its next academic session in July this year. "Students with visual impairment are presently exempted from studying science and maths after Class 8 in some cases and after Class 10 in most of the cases," the NGO pointed out. "In case the existing approved programme is implemented, such students shall not be able to meet the requirements of the foundation course in the first year of the four-year undergraduate programme which contains a bouquet of 11 courses, including Building Mathematical Ability and Science and Life as mandatory," the petition said. It asked the court to direct Delhi University to introduce a "bridge course programme" for maths and science students with vision impairment so they could also be given a level-playing field to pursue the foundation course as prescribed in the first year. "The four-year undergraduate programme with multiple degree does not take into consideration the concern of the students with vision impairment, therefore, the same is arbitrary and illegal, hence discriminatory," it said. (Agencies) Latest News from India News Desk
Sambhavana, which works for the welfare of disabled students, said, "If the four-year undergraduate programme with multiple degree is introduced in present form, the students with vision impairment will suffer irreparable loss as they shall not be able to participate in the mainstream education system."
The petition said, "A large number of students with vision impairment seek admission in Delhi University every year. They cannot be deprived of studying the foundation course on an equal basis with other students. Therefore, a provision of the bridge course should be followed by the foundation course in second year of the said programme."

Patrick Daly
Birthday: 1992-06-09 | Position: D |
Eligible for draft: 2010 | Shoots: Left |
Drafted: 2011 | Height: 6-0 |
Acquired: 7th round (189th overall), 2011 | Weight: 178 lbs. |
Probability of Success
2008-09: Patrick Daly scored 3 goals with 9 assists and was +26 with 19 blocked shots as a sophomore for Benilde-St. Margaret's in Minnesota's North Suburban high school hockey league.
2009-10: Daly scored 1 goal with 11 assists and was +18 in just ten games as a junior for Benilde-St. Margaret's as he missed 17 games after suffering an ankle injury in December. Daly returned to play in the last five games for the Red Knights, including a 6-5 sectional playoff win over Hopkins.
2010-11: Daly was one of the top defensemen in the pre-season Upper Midwest elite hockey league – finishing with 3 goals and 12 assists in 22 games for Team Southeast. Playing for Minnesota White in the Bauer NIT tournament in November, he had a pair of assists in three games as Minnesota White was 3-0 and defeated teams from Northwood School, Shattuck-St. Mary's and the Minnesota Red squad. During the high school season, he scored 3 goals with 37 assists and was +48 for Benilde-St. Margaret's, which finished 21-4. Daly committed to playing at the University of Wisconsin and will make the jump directly from high school to college hockey in 2011-12. Daly was not among the 210 North American skaters in Central Scouting's final rankings but was selected by the Devils in the 7th round (189th overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft.
2011-12: Daly saw limited ice time as a freshman at the University of Wisconsin – dressing for 11 games and finishing minus-four with 2 penalty minutes. In May, he announced he was no longer going to play hockey. He subsequently transferred to Division III St. Thomas in Minnesota but as of November, 2012 was not on the hockey roster.
Talent Analysis
Daly's standout tool is his elite level skating skill, which in this day-in-age is a great tool for a defenseman to have if he wants to have success at the next level. He is offensively skilled with good on-ice vision and passing skills. He also uses his high-end skating and mobility to help him keep good position and defend. Not the most physical player, that's something Daly can work on as he puts on some muscle and fills out his frame.
Daly abruptly left the University of Wisconsin after his freshman season and at this point in time, it does not look as though he will be pursuing a career in hockey.

Trust is Better than Selling in Cold Calling by Ari Galper, Founder of Unlock The Game® I'd like to introduce you to a radical new thought. In the old sales mindset, you've probably been trained to focus only on making the sale. You approach your cold calls with the idea of moving things towards a sales event.
But think about what this does to your cold calls. Before you even say "hello," basically then, you have an agenda. You want something.
Well, your prospects can sense this immediately, and they put up their guard. As people, whenever we know that someone wants something from us, we automatically move into a defensive place. You probably do, too, if you're talking with someone who has an agenda.
Can you see that your sales focus actually destroys the possibility for a genuine, trusting conversation? Because it's focused on yourself – your desire for a sale - and not on the other person.
Salesmanship vs. Relationship
So it's time to re-think the way you approach cold calls. When your strategy is to make a sale, then you're someone who has to be "watched." You're not weighing what's important to the other person. And so to them, you can't be trusted.
It's much better to build trusting relationship into your cold calling process. When the other person feels that you're relating to them from this place, there's no need to be suspicious and defensive. There can be a pleasant, productive, truthful dialogue about whether what you're offering makes sense for them.
So, really, it's about trust and relationship. Why? Because when given the choice, people always prefer to do business with someone they can trust.
Here are two fundamental shifts you'll need to make if you want to move away from the old "sale-focused" mindset.
1. Release the Need for Control Whenever you're trying to control the outcome of your cold call, you're not allowing the conversation to have a natural rhythm and flow. You're trying to maneuver things in a certain direction. So you're not building relationship, you're trying to build sales. You're focused on things like getting information, finding the decision maker, scheduling an appointment, or closing the sale. And all of this sets off "alarms" for the other person. Prospects can sense that this kind of interaction is somewhat of an impersonal, pre-ordained process. They know it really hasn't much to do with them. So how can you to shift into something more positive? You begin by consciously surrendering to the outcome of your cold call. When you do this, you're no longer trying to manage things. You can be relaxed and helpful. This is subtly but powerfully felt by the other person. When they recognize you're not "pushing" for a certain outcome, there's an opportunity for mutual exploration, and you can be viewed as someone who's trustworthy. 2. Focus on the Other Person When you start your cold calls by talking about your product or service, most people "shut down" right away. You're talking to someone who doesn't know you, and you're trying to get them to step into your world. Instead, try stepping into their world. Think about what matters to them. Put yourself in their shoes. The best way to do this is to think about what kinds of problems they may be having. For example, let's say you provide invoice management systems. You might start with something like, "I'm just calling to see if you'd be open to exploring new ways to solve revenue loss from unpaid invoices." Now you've started your cold call by focusing on the other person's issue right away. You're not talking about yourself. You're "tuned into" their problems and difficulties. This feels really good to them, and you'll more likely share an open, trusting conversation. When you don't have strategies and "pitches" built into your cold calling agenda, you can be a real person talking to another real person. Now there's an opportunity explore together in a more trusting way whether what you're providing is a fit for them. And the difference will astonish you.
To your success,
Is Selling Painful For You? It's not your fault -- and there is a better way
Old "tried and true" cold calling and sales techniques that were once successful have completely lost their effectiveness over the years. That's why I developed a new sales mindset and cold calling approach that will quickly and automatically put you ahead of the game and instantly in a league above your competition.
OLD SALES GURU MYTH # 1 - "Cold calling is a numbers game." But, sales is only a numbers game when all you know is traditional selling. Yes, you can call people over and over, chase them until they listen to you so that you just go away. However there is a better - easier method of building trust and getting your product or service message across - all on one call. Simply by changing your sales approach you'll make FEWER CALLS and MORE SALES.
OLD SALES GURU MYTH # 2 - "Use a sales script to cold call." People can tell when you're reading from a script, even if you think you're pretty good at it and getting away with it. There's nothing personal about it and people can pick that up. Being artificial just puts you into the typical "Salesperson" category. If you can learn to get your message across in a different way, you'll eliminate the negative triggers that can lose your sale within seconds.
OLD SALES GURU MYTH # 3 - "Focus on closing the sale." Are you "going in for the kill" with your closing sale technique? - If you are, you could end up killing your deal instead. Old sales techniques do nothing more than pressure the client or prospect, and as a result they naturally want to retreat away from that pressure - and that pressure is you. By learning to avoid the "push and pull" dynamic between you and your prospect, you'll be able to move the sales process forward to get the result you want.
Welcome to Unlock The Game™Unlock The Game is a radically honest sales and cold calling approach based on integrity and common sense. It challenges traditional sales thinking and helps you achieve better sales results. It's the missing link -- a new mindset and language that converts selling into a natural conversation between you and your prospect.
It offers you a new way of thinking about selling, from cold calling -- the most dreaded selling experience of all -- to the end of the sales process.
You don't have to abandon the selling skills you already know -- Unlock The Game gives you a new approach and new tools to help you let go of old behaviors that bring you negative results. It's incredibly effective. Best of all, it's easy to learn.

- - Whats Your Workout for the 2013 Show Season?
Whats Your Workout for the 2013 Show Season? Hey everyone, I was starting to come out with my horse's workouts for the next couple months leading up to Show Season 2013, anyone want to share theirs? I need some ideas!! I've been looking for exercises along the lines of keeping her supple, getting that winter hay belly off, and keeping her mind engaged, as well as some fun stuff for both of us! So, in short, what's your spring workout going to consist of?:-P |
I'm a barrel racer, so I don't know how much help I'll be, but I do a lot of long trotting. I try to get a few good long trots in a week. I use the EquiTrack app to record my speed and distance. I also do a few breezes a month to remind my boy that he has speed as well as to work on speed control. I compete in a few open shows a year too, so I'll mix in some pattern and trail class work. Posted via Mobile Device |
I do hunter/jumpers with my boy. This spring we're hitting the trails for some good hill work. We are both a bit frazzled from being inside all winter in our little indoor so it will be refreshing and help get us both back in shape. |
I'm an eventer, so ours is: 1X a week-jumping-gymnastics 2X a week-dressage work in the ring 1-2X a week- fieldwork, trotsets, gallops. sometimes a trail ride. I also play polocrosse, so usually i have a polocrosse practice and one day of fieldwork) 1X a week- course work(usually a lesson) I just try to get off farm(for lessons, practice, cross country) often, go to a few warmup shows or hunter paces combined with a lot of muscle building work outside to get my horse mentally ready for show season, as well as physically :) |
I ride endurance, got discouraged when my mare got hurt in december, shes fine now and I need to get my but in gear and start doing some fast gait work and loping 15-20 miles at a time. I think I am also facing the reality that I am not gonna be as competitive as Id like to be with a TWH. So kinda putting things on the back burner. Maybe take a year off and just go back to fun rides. Sell emma and keep eyes open for the right horse. |
1 day a week I will go for a long ride out and do tons of long trotting mixed with walk and canter. 2-3 days of flat work in the arena working on getting supple and responsive, working on compressing and extending the stride at all 3 gaits, tons of circles figures etc. (sometimes I throw in some poles) 1 day of jumping (I start small with just poles and low jumps until the horse is legged up a bit then start with courses and bigger jumps). As my horse gets in shape I will add an extra day of jumping some weeks. I always give my horse at least 2 days a week off and I make sure they are not in a row, try and split them up so they don't get stiff after a couple days off in a row. Good luck! I find the best thing for getting me in shape is getting a horse in shape! |
Thanks so much for all the responses everyone! :D |
my youngster will have the following: 3 x a week in the school (this could be either lunging or riding depending on my time constraints and his mood) 3 x per week on a hack, this will get longer as the nights get longer! on Day 7 he will normaly go to a show or have the day off. If he goes to a show then he will get the next day off and we will do 2x in the school and 3 hacks the next week. |
I'm reading your question differently. My bloke is green so if we go to a show this season (time constraints may beat us) I'm sticking with the basics walk, trot and canter with simple change plus a hand gallop (if he's being good) and a halt from trot. Possible a rein back dependant on the class. |

A devastating cyclone, named as Phailin, has hit the east coast of India this evening at a speed of 220kmph. The storm will stay for 6-12 hours more with utmost severity. Mainly impacted states are Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. I cannot imagine the current condition of local people. I used to work at both the states and left less than a year ago. There was deep depression through out the state for past two days and it was raining heavily. The eye of the storm made landfall at Gopalpur today. This is a most famous tourist spot because of its beauty and serenity. I clicked this fisherman's photo at Gopalpur beach during a photographic expedition.

They say Kit lens is the beginner's lens. True it is. But I started my DSLR photography with a 50mm prime and since then I am madly in love with my magic lens! In fact I still do not own any kit lens! :D You can do thousands of experiments with this much lighter weapon! The focal length is almost close to the perception of human eye. It covers the whole zone as your eye can see at once. Makes the picture more real. I never forget this tiny wonder when I go for street photography. Just apt for people and portrait. When I was a beginner my seniors advised me to start with 50mm. Since there is no way to zoom in/out it develops a good sense of framing and composition. With the aperture range starting from f/1.4 it works super in low light...

The two Democratic leaders who have recently earned, for their achievements, the Nobel Prize for Peace, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore, are international icons. Carter introduced human rights into American foreign policy; Gore took up the cause of global warming. (President Obama, of course, also received a Nobel but can hardly be said to have earned it.)
The career trajectories of the two have been very different. Carter had the advantage of having been the president. Carter therefore had political success on his CV. But Gore, a man of exceptional talent, had failure on his; and that surely lit the fire under him for overarching success in some other way. So while Carter continued working for human rights, as in his bold writings on the Middle East peace process, and even went so far as to build huts for the poor in Central America, Gore chose a different career path, deciding to think and write big.
He surely succeeded beyond his wildest expectations as the author of An Inconvenient Truth. But his phenomenal success had little to do with science (which has remained somewhat controversial: many of us remember for instance the not-too-distant scare about global cooling, also from climate scientists) and much to do with the photographs of polar bears caught on drifting ice as glaciers melted. An image like that is what we all need when we push our pet agendas. Alas, none of us is so fortunate. Nor is Gore as he turns now to writing about our future.

Decadent, yet healthy, dessert recipes
Vegan banana cream pie
Jasmine Kaloudis, a holistic lifestyle expert in Philadelphia, shares "the dessert I love that doesn't hate me." Who would expect something to "taste so luscious and creamy without butter, cream, sugar and other toxic stuff?"
- 1-1/2 cups cashews
- 1 cup pecans
- 1-1/2 cups pitted dates
- 1/5 cup water
- 7 tablespoons unsweetened coconut, divided
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- dash of salt
- 2-3 bananas, cut up
- Soak cashews in water for at least 6 hours. Drain.

- Mix cashews, 4 tablespoons coconut, maple syrup, vanilla and salt in a blender until smooth and creamy, using a spatula to scrape the sides. Pour into pie tin.
- Add bananas on top of mixture and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons coconut. Enjoy!
Tip: The bananas will darken if the pie sits too long. You can prepare the other ingredients ahead of time and slice and add bananas immediately before serving.

Historypin allows people to "pin" old photographs dating back years or even decades on to images of the same street or place as captured by Google.
There's more to historypin than "pinning" old photographs to new ones, though. Libraries, museums, historical societies and individuals are "pinning" photos, videos, audio files and stories all over Google's streetview all over the world. Well, all over much of the world. Google hasn't photographed every corner of the globe quite yet, but they're getting closer. It is possible to use the site to take a historical tour of cities thanks to a keyword search system.
What parts of the world can I see?
You can even take a historical tour of Dallas. Some of the Dallas photos available on historypin were pinned in place by the Texas/Dallas Archives Division of the Dallas public Library.
Photos shared by the Dallas Public Library
You can use the link above to see the photos submitted by the library. I clicked on a photo of the Adolphus Hotel taken in 1914. Then click on the familiar Google streetview person near the lower right corner of the photograph to see the photo with the current streetview.
From there, you can take a tour of Downtown. Click on photos pinned nearby to explore or click on "Map" on the menu at the top of the page to do a keyword search for something specific. You can also hold your cursor over "Show the search" right above where the street address is shown on the photo in the upper left corner.
Historypin also has apps for the iPhone and Android OS, so you can take it with while exploring your favorite city. You may find all sorts of things you never knew were there.
Historypin is a world of fun at your fingertips. Enjoy!

text: AA newcomer RCB takes on Bluefield tonight By Tom Bragg November 15, 2012 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When Bluefield makes the trip to Clarksburg to play Robert C. Byrd tonight, it will be a case of old meeting new in the Class AA playoffs.No. 4 Byrd (10-1) is new to Class AA this season, while the No. 5 Beavers (9-2) have been a mainstay near the top of the rankings and in the state playoffs for years with two state championships (2004, 2007) in six trips to the Super Six since 1999.The Eagles, led by first-year coach Bruce Carey (formerly the coach of Byrd's Harrison County rival Bridgeport), were a force to be reckoned with on offense in 2012.To say Byrd got good production from its skill positions during the regular season - with a loss to Bridgeport as the only blemish on its record - would be an understatement. Ben D'Annunzio led the team with 1,295 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on 116 carries and Tre Cox added 891 yards and 13 TDs on 100 carries. Quarterback Aaron Hill threw for 951 yards and 16 TDs with only two interceptions and receiver Iziah Hill caught 20 passes for 452 yards and 11 scores.Hill faced the tall task of replacing RCB's Adam Secret under center this season. Secret was a four-year starter for the Eagles and set the all-time passing yards record for Harrison County during his time there."[Hill] played about two or three games when Secret got hurt [last season], so he had some experience," Carey said. "Our running game took a lot of pressure off him. We try to run first and pass second."Last week against Braxton County, Cox ran for 140 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries to lead the Eagles to a narrow 27-21 win in a game in which they trailed at halftime.Carey said last week's close call was a case of his team coming out flat and Braxton County playing well."Braxton County came out and took it to us," he said. "In the second half, we got under their shoulder pads instead of them being under ours. We just weren't being very aggressive." Bluefield is coming off a 63-27 win against Roane County last week after closing its regular season with a loss to AA No. 1 Wayne. The Beavers' only other loss this season was to their rivals from Graham (Va.), in the first game of the season.Running back Montel Leggett has led the potent Beavers' offense this season with 1,297 rushing yards and 19 TDs on 120 attempts. While they do not throw the ball much by comparison, quarterback D.J. Edwards completed 27 of 41 passes (65.8 percent) for 615 yards and 10 TDs.Beavers coach Fred Simon said that while it is no secret his team likes to run the ball, the Beavers are more than a one-man team on the offensive side of the ball with a stable of capable ball carriers - including Johnny David, D.J. Stewart and Edwards - at his disposal."[Leggett] has got good speed and good power, but he's not the only one," Simon said. "We've got four good running backs."Carey said one thing that jumped out about Bluefield on tape was the Beavers' speed. "They've got a lot of speed and their backs run hard," he said. "I'd like their offense if I didn't have to defend it. They execute real well and do a good job with it."As good as the offense has been for the Beavers, Simon said he'd like to see improvement from his defense, especially with high-powered Byrd standing between his team and the state semifinals."I'm hoping we can get better on 'D,'" he said. We've been OK but we've got to get quicker and better to have a chance. We're going to see how it goes."Reach Tom Bragg at email@example.com.

FRESNO, CA—Vicenta Munoz-Peralta, 39, of
Modesto, pleaded guilty today to one count of conspiracy to commit criminal
copyright infringement and to traffic in counterfeit labels and counterfeit
documentation and packaging, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner
According to court documents, between
April 2011 and July 25, 2011, Munoz-Peralta and others manufactured
copyright-infringing DVDs in a co-defendant's garage in Modesto. The garage
contained blank disks, computers, and disk replicating machines, two copy
machines, scanners, and approximately 50 printers. The Modesto residence also
stored several thousand counterfeit CDs and DVDs. Munoz-Peralta managed the
day-to-day operations of a distribution warehouse in Modesto. She was paid a
monthly amount for the manufacturing of DVDs and the operation of the Modesto
Munoz-Peralta operated vendor stands
every week at the Modesto 7th Street Flea Market and sold counterfeit music CDs
to the public and to other co-conspirators for resale. The total retail value
of copyrighted media that was counterfeited in the conspiracy exceeded $2
This case is the product of an extensive
investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Sacramento Valley
Hi-Tech Crimes Task Force with assistance from the Stanislaus County Sheriff's
Department. Assistant United States Attorney Henry Z. Carbajal III prosecuted
the case.
Munoz-Peralta is scheduled to be
sentenced by Chief United States District Judge Anthony W. Ishii on November
26, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. She faces a maximum statutory penalty of five years in
prison. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of
the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the
Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.
