KARNS CITY — Timothy Kiser's big kill earned him a big moment recently.
The Karns City resident bagged a 714-pound bear standing 8 feet, 2 inches tall near Bradys Bend in November of 2011.
Kiser, 53, knew it was big at the time. He just didn't know how big.
"My buddies and I guessed it was around 400 pounds," Kiser said. "The game commission weighed it and we were way off."
The bear scored a 22 11-16 Boone and Crockett points, the inch measurement coming by length of skull without lower jaw and the greatest width of skull.
It tied for the 10th largest bear ever bagged in Pennsylvania and the 17th largest ever bagged in North America.
"And it was all luck," Kiser said, laughing. "The thing practically came to me. The hunt took all of 10 minutes."
Kiser bought a bear hunting license after his family moved to Karns City 11 years ago, only because he spotted them on the property from time to time. He has been a deer hunter for 40 years.
"I was actually out trying to find a buck I spotted the day before when this bear was standing on a hillside staring at me," Kiser said. "I just turned and shot him.
"He took off into a big cornfield out behind our house and I found him laying there dead, about 20 rows in."
Now Kiser finds himself in the record books.
Every three years, Boone and Crockett holds a banquet in Reno, Nev., recognizing the top five big-game kills of the past three years. Kiser's bear came in third on the list, so he was invited to the banquet.
"I couldn't pass that up," he said. "It was something I knew would never happen again."
The Boone and Crockett Club's 28th Big Game Awards Banquet took place at a casino July 20.
Kiser's trophy will now be listed with nearly 5,000 other outstanding trophies in the Boone and Crockett Club's Big Game Awards book available this fall.
"He had the third biggest bear bagged in North America in the past three years," Boone and Crockett representative Justin Spring said. "Pennsylvania has some of the biggest bears in the world.
"Hunters can't bait them, can't use dogs to track them. ... You have to be in the right place at the right time. Bears can age in that state."
Spring said 13 of the 24 largest bears ever bagged in North America came from Pennsylvania.
The estimated age of Kiser's bear was 15 years old.
"The biggest game caught in the last three years was another black bear from Pennsylvania," Kiser said. "That guy's bear measured 23 3-16.
"Like me, he lucked into it. He said the bear pretty much came to him."
Every trophy honored at the banquet was flown there and put on display in a trophy room adjacent to the banquet room. Kiser said nearly 450 people attended the fete.
"There were rams, elk, moose, lions ... all kinds of trophy game on display," he said. "Some were there from Africa. People spend tons and tons of money every year going after big game.
"I just happened to get one walking out of my house."
Kiser's bear has been mounted in the foyer just inside the entrance to his home. It's been gone for a few weeks as Cabela's shipped it to Reno and back.
"It's in Wheeling, W.Va., now," Kiser said. "I have to go pick it up."
As for any future bear hunts?
"Not worried about it," Kiser said. "I don't care if I never get another one. I'll never top this."
"The biggest buck I've ever gotten was an 11-point, back in 2002. That's what I'm into. I love archery. I don't know anything about bears."
Except that he bagged a big one.
"I'm 6-foot-1 and that thing dwarfs me," he said.

So, when the summer heat gets you tired, think: what can the slow cooker do for me so I don't have to stand over the stove?
Julie Kay recommends this slow cooker recipe is best if you are home to make sure it does not over cook. In fact, it's one of those desserts that can be cooking while you serve dinner. If you have any extra fresh blueberries in the fridge then feel free to add them after the shortcake has cooked. This pretty dessert would be perfect for the Fourth of July holiday celebration too.

So lovely ladies,
2 month check today, everythings going great, she weighs 11Ibs.10oz - she was 6 at birth so glad she's gaining.
I discussed with pedi about how I can't tell when she is hungry anymore as she gives me the hunger signs all the time, it's gotten to the point where if I even tip her slightly into cradle hold she'll burst into tears - so I'm really confused.
The pedi told me to wait till she's crying and then feed her - her reasoning was that because i just offer her the breast all the time she doesn't need to give me cues - but then I offer it to her when she's not hungry and she gets really upset... which in turn makes me upset that I can't read her.
Do you think that that is good advice?
I feel a bit awkward as I know that crying means she's close to starving and I don't want that.
She's also going a couple of hours of not peeing - is this ok? Should she be peeing sll the time?
I feel like Im losing my grip a little bit - going to a LLL meeting tomorrow!!

This release includes a modification to the sort algorithm used for right justified fields in the query processor and in alternate key indices. This modification provides greater compatibility with other multivalue products where the items contain a mix of numeric and non-numeric data. It is recommended that any right justified alternate key indices should be rebuilt in case of incompatibility. Note that this change does not affect tha action of right justified items in the QMBasic LOCATE statement as this would potentially make existing data inaccessible.
The VOC $PRIVATE.CATALOGUE record may now use the American spelling, $PRIVATE.CATALOG. If both records are present, the British spelling takes priority.
The LISTU, LIST.PHANTOMS and STATUS commands now show the login time of the processes reported in the local time zone of the user executing the command.
The query processor IN and NOT.IN operators have been extended to allow the list of acceptable/unacceptable values to be stored in files other than $SAVEDLISTS.
Two new QMBasic functions, FILE.EVENT() and WAIT.FILE.EVENT(), allow a program to wait for changes in a Windows directory in an efficient manner.
For compatibility with other systems, the last accessed and last modified date/time values returned by the QMBasic STATUS statement are now in the user's local timezone. Two new fields have been added to the returned data that hold the equivalent data in epoch format.
The QMBasic debugger has been modified to show the conditional element of a CASE statement prior to executing the conditioned code.
The CLEANUP configuration parameter allows system administators to set the interval in seconds between automated scans for QM processes that have terminated abnormally, perhaps as a result of a network connection loss. If not present, this interval defaults to five minutes as in previous releases.
The STARTUP configuration parameter has been extended to allow the account name and user name to be specified. Multiple STARTUP parameters may also be used.
This release is primarilly to correct an issue where the Windows installer did not complete successfully.
The CORRELATIVE.REUSE mode of the OPTION command causes all operators in correlative expressions to behave as though the reuse (R) option was present.
The COPY and COPYP commands now both have an option to override the default action of using binary mode data transfer when both files are directory files. This is particularly relevant when using QMNet to move data between Linux and Windows.
The ED command now supports a FIT.SCREEN option in the $ED.OPTIONS record to cause the default display size of the P, PL and PP commands to be set based on the screen size.
As an aid to diagnosing printing problems, the SPOOL.COMMAND option of the OPTION command can be used to display the operating system command used to initiate printing (not Windows).
The SED editor has been extended to support Esc-M as a shortcut to compile a program from within the editor without running it.
The SED editor search sequence for editor extensions now looks in the &SED.EXTENSIONS& file in the QMSYS account if the extension is not found in any of the defined search location. This file is now shipped with the WALK extension that appears in the QM Reference Manual.
Multivalued fields are now handled by delimited reports from the query processor.
A bug fix in the QMBasic LOCATE statement means that programs compiled on this release that use LOCATE will not run on earlier releases. Forward compatibility for programs compiled on earlier releases has been maintained.
For improved compatibility with other multivalue environments, the default Pick style select list variable used by SELECTV (and SELECT when the SELECTV option of $MODE is active) if no target variable is specificed is now the same as numbered select list zero.
The DIR.DTM mode of the OPTION command can be used to cause QM to update the date/time modified of the directory when writing to a directory file or on closing a sequential file that has been written. This option is not available on Windows.
The Virtual File System (VFS) now supports use of Pick style select list variables. The changes to add this new functionality also remove the risk of a VFS handler overwriting a numbered select list that is used by the application. For improved performance, the VFS now also supports partial select list generation where the list is generated as it is being processed. Applications that use the VFS may need changes to the VFS handler select list generation functions. Details are included in the template VFS.CLS in the BP file of the QMSYS account.
The CATALOGUE verb now skips items with invalid catalogue names, reporting the error to the user.
The OPTION command can now take multiple option names.
The QMBasic FORMLISTV statement can be used to build a Pick style select list variable from a dynamic array.
Two new QMBasic functions, ROUNDDOWN() and ROUNDUP(), have been added.
The QMBasic RETURN FROM PROGRAM statement provides a neater and faster way to return from a CALL regardless of internal subroutine depth than use of repeated RETURN TO statements.
The operating system level qm -u command now shows the command line used to start a phantom process as an aid to identifying specific QM processes.
The QMSAVE tool, documented in the QM KnowledgeBase on the openqm.com web site, can be used to transfer data to QM from other environments.
Two new QMClient functions have been introduced. QMSelectPartial() builds a select list and returns multiple record ids in a single operation. QMNextPartial() returns the next part of the list. These functions provide better performance than reading the list item by item with QMReadNext() or in its entirety with QMReadList().
The F-type VOC entry record has been extended to add open mode flags in field 6. Only one is currently defined. A letter T suppresses translation of restricted characters in record ids in directory files, leaving it up to the application to ensure compliance with operating system naming rules.
Procs now support the U01AD user exit.
The command stack editor Ctrl-R function has been enhanced to work more like its equivalent in other multivalue sytems.
The BASIC command now supports use of a $BASIC.IGNORE control record which, determines which, if any, source records are skipped when using a select list or the * option.
The FIND.PROGRAM command can be used to locate and report details of a catalogued program.
The REBUILD.ALL.INDICES command has been extended to support the CONCURRENT option.
The QMBasic FUNCTION, SUBROUTINE, PUBLIC FUNCTION and PUBLIC SUBROUTINE statements now support provision of a default value for arguments not passed by the caller when declared using the VAR.ARGS option.
The NO.MAP qualifier to the QMBasic OPEN, OPENPATH, OPENSEQ and DELETESEQ statements suppresses record id translation in directory files.
Use of the Linux/Unix kill command with signal 1 or 15 will now pass this on to the child process if the QM process is executing an operating system command.
The Windows Configuration Editor and QMAdmin tools are no longer included with QM. This is because Microsoft have withdrawn functions that are needed by these tools. Configuration parameter changes can be applied to the qmconfig file with any text editor. All functions of QMAdmin can be achieved using command line tools.
For improved consistency, both MIN.MODULUS and MINIMUM.MODULUS are accepted by the CREATE.FILE command and the equivalent QMBasic statement where previously each took just one of these synonyms.
This is a support release. There is no new functionality.
This release adds support for the PowerPC variant of the IBM RS6000 under AIX.
This release introduces distributed files that provide a view of multiple separate hashed files as though they were a single file. Uses of distributed files include improved query performance by working with a reduced data set, load balancing over multiple disks, avoiding operating system file size limits and geographical separation of data over multiple servers.
This release extends date and time handling to include support for applications that operate across multiple time zones. The QMBasic EPOCH() function can be used to return the current date and time in time zone independent epoch form. The E conversion code can be used to convert this to external form and vice versa. The time zone used by the E conversion is determined by the TIMEZONE private configuration parameter that may be updated for an individual QM session using the CONFIG command or the QMBasic SET.TIMEZONE statement. The default time zone is taken from the operating system TZ environment variable. As part of this development, the D conversion code has been extended to support two ISO 8601 date formats. There are several functions to convert between epoch values and traditional multivalue date/time values. Note that epoch handling is only fully supported in the Linux, FreeBSD and Mac versions of QM. AIX provides partial support. Windows support of time zones is very limited and cannot provide the full functionality of other platforms.
The number of digits in the cyclic sequence number used by the NEXT option of the SETPTR and SET.QUEUE commands can be changed from its default value of four by entering the required number of digits in field 3 of the record named $NEXT in the dictionary of the $HOLD file. This value must be in the range 3 to 9.
The AUTHENTICATE command has been extended to support encrypted passwords.
The COPY.LISTP command has been introduced as a Pick syntax version of COPY.LIST.
The LIST.INDEX command has been extended to allow the report to be directed to a printer. It can now also report indices in all files in the account.
The LIST.PHANTOMS command provides a variant on the information shown by LISTU and STATUS.
The LIST.TRIGGERS command has been added to provide a summary of all trigger subroutines used by files in an account.
The Pick style LISTDICT command (as distinct from use of LIST DICT) has been enhanced to include D and I-type records.
The MAKE.INDEX and BUILD.INDEX command now support a CONCURRENT option that allows an index to be built while the file is in use. There is a performance penalty for this and the QMBasic SELECTINDEX, SELECTLEFT and SELECTRIGHT statements may stall waiting for the build to complete.
The PSTAT command has been extended to allow selection of the processes to report by user login name. Multiple user numbers or login names may be included in a single command.
The SET.DATE command has been withdrawn.
The CHAINED.SELECT mode of the OPTION command enables Pick style behaviour of a SELECT operation where, if the data queue is active, the command in the data queue will be executed on completion of the select if at least one record was selected. If no records were selected, the data queue is cleared.
The OPTION D3 and OPTION MVBASE commands provide shortcuts for setting multiple options that provide closer compatibility with other products.
The IMPLIED.STOP option of the $MODE compiler directive will insert an implied STOP at the end of a program, subroutine or function in place of the RETURN that is normally inserted.
The QMBasic DIR() function has been modified to preserve the case of items in case insensitive file systems (e.g. Windows). This change may require some applications that use this function to be modified to convert the returned data to uppercase. This function now also returns a third value containing the file attributes for each item. The format of this new data is platform dependant.
The QMBasic FLUSH.DH.CACHE statement can be used to force other QM processes to flush their cache of recently closed dynamic files. This should rarely be needed but allows a process to ensure that it is not blocked in an operating system level file action by some other process having a file cached.
Two new styles of the FOR/NEXT loop have been introduced in QMBasic. These allow execution of a loop for a comma separated list of values and for each mark character delimited item in a variable.
When the SELECTV option of the $MODE compiler directive is in effect, the QMBasic SELECT and READNEXT statements treat the list variable as optional, defaulting to an internal variable that is local to the program in which these statements are used.
The QMBasic VOCPATH() function can be used to resolve a filename to its corresponding pathname, following Q-pointers and applying extended filename syntax rules.
The !PHLOG() subroutine can be used to determine the name of the log record for a phantom process.
Where both ends of the connection support it, QMClient and QMNet now encrypt network traffic. As a consequence of this change, the qmclilib.o object module previously released on Linux, FreeBSD and Mac has been replaced with the libqmclient.a library. The only change required in non-Windows QMClient applications is to use this new library in place of the old qmclilib.o when linking the program. Existing programs will continue to run but will not encrypt network traffic.
The QMRevision() function of the QMClient API can be used to determine the version levels of the client and server sides of the connection.
A new private configuration parameter, DHCACHE, has been added to control the size of the dynamic file cache. In most instances, the default value of 10 is probably adequate.
A process started by the STARTUP configuration parameter now runs with @TTY set to "startup". This allows, for example, special handling in the LOGIN paragraph.

This guest post is by Gab Goldenberg, author of The Advanced SEO Book.
What happens when someone comes to the end of your post? Their eyes keep reading downwards, so it's wise to optimize the area with advertorials and an encouraging comment area.
What do I mean by advertorials? And why should they be present at the end of a post specifically?
In the news-media world, there's traditionally been a distinction between "editorial content" and ads.
An advertorial is an ad designed to look like regular, non-sponsored content. Advertorial design aims to increase readership by avoiding traditional ad blindness.
As you can imagine, advertorials' appearance varies according to the media they appear in, to better look like the content they're designed after. Traditionally advertorials looked like news articles.
Today, Facebook offers "sponsored stories" in the News Feed, which are essentially advertorials:
Likewise Twitter offers "promoted account" suggestions and sponsored tweets, that are a modern variant of advertorials:
What's the key takeaway?
As Fred Wilson writes on AVC:
"In both examples, the ad unit is the same atomic unit of content as the users create in the service."
The takeaway for bloggers is that advertorials for blogs need to look like blog posts, or at least inhouse content.
And what better place on a blog for an advertorial than where people are most likely to read it—after another post?
In other words, place the advertorial either after a few posts on a category page (where it looks like another post in the category page's list) or after a blog post on its own page. In both cases your placement contributes to the impression that the advertorial is regular, non-paid content.
Some of the top marketing blogs use this area for advertorial promotions, be it for inhouse marketing (most commonly), or also for other people's products.
Social Media Examiner uses their branded cartoon-jungle-explorer style for their newsletter promotion:
And MediaBistro make their promo's background the same as the background behind links to related content:
And of course Problogger does this as well, featuring affiliate marketing for the Genesis WordPress framework. The advertorial uses the Problogger-brand-orange in the advertorial title and the light-blue of the related content box above the advertorial, having it blend in easily with the rest of Problogger content.
Summary On Below-The-Post Ads
Style the ad like your content by featuring elements of your branding. These can include design styles like a border – visible in SocialMediaExaminer's worn jungle map style and on Chris Brogan's jagged-border advertorials – or your brand colours, or the background color used for some of your content blocks, like MediaBistro's previous-link and next-link blocks.
Another approach that I struggled to find an example of but that can be even more impactful is adopting the exact styles of your post for the advertorial.
If you have graphics indicating the start of a post (following Blog Design For ROI Rule #4: Make Posts Easy To Read), you can repeat these at the end of your post to start your advertorial. This maximizes the impression that there's more editorial content following the post … exactly as intended with the whole idea behind advertorials.
(NB: You need to indicate that the content is an ad, if promoting a third-party. However, leave the notice to the end, as Facebook and Twitter do, because if you immediately tell people that what follows is an ad, you may as well say "the following content is useless, so skip it." The goal in using the advertorial approach is to overcome this obstacle. You then disclose that the content was sponsored at the end, so that people can decide for themselves what to think of the ad.)
Persuasive, easy-to-use comment design
As business bloggers, we want the most comments possible, of the best quality possible, so as to generate a vibrant community that helps build their repeat visitor traffic. Yet comment design rarely does anything to encourage this behaviour, being seen as a merely functional element rather than a serious opportunity.
Tell people Why they should comment
Tell them about incentives
It's true that many people don't comment for lack of time or for lack of anything to say.
Yet I know from giving away links to people who left thoughtful comments on my SEO ROI blog, that incentives can get some of these otherwise-passive readers to comment. And I know that SEOmoz, which has probably the richest, most thoughtful comments on the web, owes their success in part to rewarding participation with points, recognition (e.g. speaking engagements at events they run), and free memberships.
So offer a reward, and write a brief blurb near the comments saying so. For example, a while ago I saw a blog offering a monthly cash prize for its most prolific and best commenters.
Tell people about author engagement
If you're able to, commit to responding to every single comment left on your blog. While it's common knowledge that responding to blog comments encourages others to comment, that's only for people who bother to read the comment section.
What if the first thing you see is that there lots of comments, though? Chances are you don't expect the author to respond to each comment, in which case there's less incentive to comment. No one likes talking to a brick wall.
So to answer people's concern, you can explicitly state that you respond to all comments (say, except for "I agrees").
For blogs that take contributions from multiple authors, you can either ask authors to commit to responding to all comments or even show what percentage of comments got a response from the post's author.
An upper limit might also be appropriate in such a case, such as "I Gab Goldenberg commit to responding to the first 50 comments that state something beyond 'I agree'. (Early thanks goes to those who comment just to show appreciation.)"
Tell them about rewards
If you run contests or offer prizes for reaching fixed participation levels, don't hide the information elsewhere. State it explicitly above the comments area!
Auto-complete commenter names
The 80-20 rule applies to comments. 80% of comments come from 20% of the audience. Why not save time for repeat commenters by asking, once they've submitted their comment, if they'd like their names to be stored for future-auto-completion? Similarly you can get them to register at the same time, and use this for community rankings as described in "Shower Love On Your Blog Community."
Display people's profile thumbnails
It may seem obvious, yet most blogs still don't show a thumbnail photo of their commenters. Probably this is partly because of non-registration, since most people don't want to register separately for a blog (it's yet another thing to register for…).
You can get around this by using Facebook for comments, since most people are registered on Facebook, and Facebook comments include thumbnails. This also gets you auto-completion of people's names if they're logged in to Facebook while browsing your site and it also has the advantage of…
Threaded comments
While it's ironically not possible in regular status-update discussions within Facebook.com, Facebook-powered comments on third party sites use threaded comments. Threaded comments mean that you can respond to the first comment on a post without the comment appearing beneath all the intervening comments, which enables discussion that would otherwise be fragmented and unwieldy.
In addition to threading comments, Facebook-powered comments have the advantage of auto-filling in commenters' names if the commenter is logged in to Facebook at the same time (e.g. in another browser tab).
So should you just switch to Facebook comments?
As of this writing, there seems to be a bit of technical savvy required, and the WordPress plugins I found for this have mixed reviews. If you have a suggestion in this regard, then please do. In any case, if you can implement it technically, then Facebook comments offer the above advantages as well as some others. And if you use FBXML, you can ensure the comments are indexed by Google, for optimal SEO.
In conclusion
At the end of your post, don't just abandon the reader with nothing to read or do – show them an advertorial.
Ideally, have it adopt the appearance of your post, complete with header font and colors, category links etc. This will help maximize the percentage of people who read your message, as opposed to skipping it as just another ad.
If you're advertising a third party's wares, you should disclose this – at the end of the advertisement.
With regards to your comments, add an area above the comments section where you tell people the incentives to comment. Let them know that all comments are read and responded to.
And as to providing an optimal user experience, you'd be well advised to integrate Facebook comments, as they auto-complete the user's name and profile picture, while threading discussions.

This article, entitled "Is There Any Truth to the Five-Second Rule?," comes from Carolyn O'Neil at BestFoodFacts.org.
Have you heard of the five-second rule? That moment when you drop a tasty morsel of food on the ground, your heart sinks - you were looking forward to eating that! Is it safe to eat it if you're able to pick it up within five seconds?
We were curious if there was any truth to the five-second rule, so we reached out to Keith R. Schneider, PhD, Professor, Food Science and Human Nutrition, University of Florida.
Dr. Schneider: There is no truth in the "five-second rule." We constantly remind people in our fact sheets - There is no five-second rule when it comes to food safety! Millions of bacteria and other germs can be transferred immediately on contact. The truth is if there is contamination on the spot where your food hits, it will be contaminated almost instantly. Now, you've probably heard that "I've been eating food off the floor for 40 years and I've never gotten sick…" and that could be true, but it's not because of the five-second rule, it's just that person hasn't dropped their food in a spot that was contaminated or in a spot contaminated with enough bacteria to make them sick.
"Pathogenic bacteria (or parasites, viruses) aren't (for the most part) everywhere in the environment. They tend to die off quickly when out of the body (or host). With that said, if you just handled raw chicken, you'd have no problem finding it all around your kitchen for several days. If you drop something on that day, in that kitchen, the probability of finding pathogenic bacteria will be higher than if you drop something in the living room. Thus, while it's rare for someone to get sick, it can happen. Note: age, health, immune state, etc. also play an important role in whether or not someone gets sick."

In modern-day Persia, the 14th-century poet Hafiz remains the most treasured voice of his homeland—a place where his work outsells Rumi, and even the Koran. Yet only recently have Westerners come to know this wild Sufi mystic's astonishing verses on love and spiritual longing.
Now, with Hafiz: The Scent of Light, you will join Daniel Ladinsky—the acclaimed translator of The Gift—to revel in more than 30 of Hafiz' most stirring works. Offered here in the manner that Hafiz composed them, namely spoken or sung spontaneously amid companions and inspired music, each of these exquisite love songs (ghazals) shimmers with a nuance, depth, and passion rarely captured in previous translations.
Hafiz once said: "A poet is someone who can pour light into a cup, then raise it to nourish your beautiful parched holy mouth." From his vision of an all-embracing Beloved who sees beyond our religious beliefs to his revelations on the oneness of worldly ecstasy and spiritual awakening, Hafiz continues to pour the light of his poetry forth today.
Music composed and performed by Stevin McNamara (sitar and nylon string guitar), with special guest artists and composers Steve Gorn (bansuri flute), Jeffrey Rodgers (tabla, santoor, ethnic drums, percussion), Annette Cantor (vocals), Pandit S.N. Sopori (drupad/khyal/tarana singing), Bhushan Sopori (tabla), and Aurelia Roze (violin). Read by Nataraja Kallio.

too much music, not enough Hafiz - I'm returning it for refund (Posted on December 10, 2011)
Review for Hafiz: The Scent of Light Review by Andrew Young
As an amateur poet, my first response to hearing this recording was total despair...Ladinsky's translations and Nataraja's reading is so frickin' moving and gutsy that I have given up all hope of creating a love quatrain that will ever come close. The music by Stevin McNamara is more Indian than Persian, but is largely responsible for the power of this recording. Warning: play this in very small doses, just 1-2 tracks at a time or you may blow out a tire. ;) - AY (Posted on March 4, 2009)

BlackBerry® DevCon Americas 2011 is coming up fast, and with it come conference attendees who expect a lot from the event. They expect valuable insight, products and tools that can help their development projects succeed. In fact, they take this conference so seriously that nearly 75% of BlackBerry DevCon 2010 attendees who responded to a survey about their experiences indicated that they plan to pursue a working relationship with a sponsor they met at BlackBerry DevCon. This meeting of the developer minds, in short, could mean business – especially if you're a company looking to sponsor this year's event.
So then, the important question: Are you someone who our attendees need to meet? Because this year, there are enhanced ways to ensure that you connect as often and dynamically as possible with BlackBerry DevCon attendees. For example, the BlackBerry DevCon Party has now moved to the Mobility Pavilion on Tuesday October 18, 2011. In the middle of the action, around the buzz of booths and demos, there will be a steady flow of avid developers. These are people looking to learn, engage and maybe invest in the solution that you propose will make their project succeed.
Here are a few sponsorship options you might consider to get your name in front of your target audience:
- Drink in your message – Instead of bottled water, this year's attendees get a reusable water bottle that they can refill at water coolers throughout the conference, with your company's logo featured on them. This year's reusable bottle is actually a trendy foldable water bottle 'bag' – also with your logo on it – an item with continued use long after the conference is over.
- Help carry the load – Another eco-friendly option is the Mobility Pavilion Bag, which is given to attendees when they enter the Mobility Pavilion. Having your company's logo printed on bags being carried by BlackBerry DevCon attendees would make for increased visibility.
- Social activities – Social media will be playing a huge role in this year's event, and our social media channels will undoubtedly be a great way to get your company's name out there.
BlackBerry DevCon is great every year because of the involvement of sponsors like you. If you are interested in pursuing sponsorship options for the BlackBerry DevCon Americas, BlackBerry DevCon Asia or BlackBerry DevCon Europe conferences, let's talk about it! Send us an email at email@example.com and we'll set up a call to brainstorm the opportunities.
Thank you to everyone already on board, and we look forward to introducing our newest sponsors to our attendees at BlackBerry DevCon Americas!

Build/re-build the swift machines, and you should have a swift capable system.
Latest revision as of 01:29, 4 March 2014
Instructions from:
https://github.com/CiscoSystems/cisco-openstack-docs repository
Simple Openstack
Infrastructure Model
The test environment is build on Cisco UCS B-200 M2 blades in a Cisco Blade chassis with dual UCS 6100 switches and Cisco VIC adapters. The example site.pp uses the Flat_DHCP model, and assumes that an eth0 interface will be attached to the "public" newtork, and that an eth1 interface will be avaialble for the Flat network bridge.
The blade config is:
2x 6 core processors 96GB memory Cisco VIC 2x 300GB SATA drives in a Raid-1 configuration
The system profile has two VNICs, one on VLAN 100 (arbitrary), and one on VLAN 105 (also arbitrary). VLAN 100 is internet accessible via a NAT gateway and via inbound VPN via an ASA firewall. VLAN 105 is unconnected
"Public" addresses on VLAN100 are in the 192.168.100.0/24 range, and a static pool (nova pool) is carved out of that range as 192.168.100.64/28 "Private" addresses are from the floating pool in the 10.0.0.0/16 range, but a network in the 10.0.0.0/24 range is actaully assigned to the openstack tenant.
Building the environment
- Build an Ubuntu 12.04 system.
We still need a build node (though will plan to migrate to a RAMFS based system soon), and you can use the preseed file in the example directory to build the base os. Start with the ISO boot (or USB boot), and at the initial installer screen, after you pick your language, hit F6 (or FN-F6 on a mac), and ESC, and add (don't delete anything from the current boot string):
priority=critical locale=en_US url=http://220.127.116.11/preseed
If you can't get to the 128 address (i.e., you're outside of Cisco), host the preseed file on your own machine. You may need to add network information (unless you have DHCP enabled, which you may want to disable and give control over to cobbler).
If you don't want to go the pre-seed route, then build a machine normally, make sure you have ~10GB of disk space available, and I recommend using an LVM volume rather than just using the whole disk, but it's less critical for this build.
Once the node is built log in (localadmin:ubuntu are the default), and become root (I usually do "sudo -H bash"), or preface all the following commands with "sudo".
apt-get install curl bash < <(curl -s -k -B https://raw.github.com/CiscoSystems/cisco-openstack-docs/master/examples/build_os)
This should get you to a state where puppet is ready to be configured (by editing the config scripts).
Alternatively, you can follow the same basic steps as the script above:
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
Note: The system will need to be restarted after applying the updates.
Next, add the Cisco Mirror repository:
apt-get install -y python-software-properties add-apt-repository -y ppa:cisco-openstack-mirror/cisco apt-get update
Now that the Cisco Mirror repo has been added, install the Cisco Puppet Modules (installed into /usr/share/puppet/modules):
apt-get install puppet-openstack-cisco
Optionally, you can install the following packages.
apt-get install cisco-openstack-docs
apt-get install cisco-openstack-utils
You will need a couple additional packages:
apt-get install ntp puppet git ipmitool -y
If your cisco-openstack-docs package does not include a sample site.pp and cobbler-node.pp, then pull cisco-openstack-docs directly from the Github repository:
git clone https://github.com/CiscoSystems/cisco-openstack-docs ~/os-docs
Then you need to set up your site:
cp ~/os-docs/examples/{site.pp,cobbler-node.pp} /etc/puppet/manifests/
YOU MUST THEN EDIT THESE FILES. They are fairly well documented, but please comment with questions. You can also read through these descriptions: Cobbler Node and Site
Then 'puppet apply' it:
puppet apply -v /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
I recommend a reboot at this point, as it seems that the puppetmaster doesn't restart correctly otherwise.
And now you should be able to load up your cobbled nodes:
~/os-docs/examples/clean_node.sh {node_name} example.com
or if you want to do it for all of the nodes defined in your cobbler-node.pp file:
for n in `cobbler system list`; do ~/os-docs/examples/clean_node.sh $n example.com ; done
note: replace example.com with your nodes proper domain name.
Testing OpenStack
Once the nodes are built, and once puppet runs (watch /var/log/syslog on the cobbler node), you should be able to log into the openstack horizon interface:
http://ip-of-your-control-node user: admin, password: Cisco123 (if you didn't change the defaults in the site.pp file)
you will still need to log into the console of the control node to load in an image: user: localadmin, password: ubuntu. If you SU to root, there is an openrc auth file in root's home directory, and you can launch a test file in /tmp/nova_test.sh.
You should now have a cirros image and a running instance (called dans_vm if you didn't change anything).
Adding in Swift
Swift adds a scaleable redundant object storage system to the openstack environment, and is a core part of the general model. In order to add swift, you will need a minimum of 3 additional machines, prefereably with a large number of fast hard drives, with RAID preferably disabled (that's right RAID is not recommended for Swift clusters).
Since the system does not yet catalog devices, you will need to manually define the devices to be used by the swift system and configure the appropriate "nodes" and "rings" for the number of devices defined. The included example is set up for two devices, either LVM based devices (useful if you are using UCS blades which nominally only support a maximum of 2 drives today or are working in a constrained development environment) or perferably raw direct access devices. The puppet modules will attempt to format the entire device as an XFS file system, and then add them in to the system.
EDIT THE swift-nodes.pp FILE before including it in your site.pp file. Then you can add the swift-nodes.pp file into your site.pp (or uncomment it from the example file):
import "swift-nodes"
Build/re-build the swift machines, and you should have a swift capable system.

Jonathan Pryce added humour to G.I. Joe
- Bang Showbiz
- 29 March 2013
Jonathan Pryce "brought sense of humour" to 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' villain Zartan, says director Jon M. Chu
Jonathan Pryce "brought sense of humour" to 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' villain Zartan.
The British actor plays the dual role of the United States president and the dastardly shape shifter who disguises himself as the commander in chief, and he injected plenty of personality into the parts, according to director Jon M. Chu.
Chu told BANG Showbiz: "Jonathon brought a sense of humour to Zartan. He just swims in the part of Zartan and the president of the United States."
Chu explained that it was a technically laborious process creating scenes between Pryce's two characters, but the actor made them come alive.
He said: "When using technology it's very technical and stale, but he gives flair to the character that you can't write in the script."
Pryce added: "For me acting wasn't difficult. Technically, it was difficult for Jon but fortunately given today's technology we could look at what was happening digitally and see where I fitted, and was I looking in my eyes? And did I believe me when I spoke?"
'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' is out now.

Dr. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai is the Chairman of the Institute of State Effectiveness, an organization set up in January 2005 to promote the ability of states to serve their citizens. As Afghanistan's finance minister between July 2002 and December 2004, he set the path for Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery after the collapse of the Taliban. Commonly he is shortly referred to as Ahsraf Ghani, since there is also another Afghan politician named Mohammad Sarwar Ahmadzai, who was also a candidate in the Afghan presidential election, 2009. Dr. Ghani is also a member of the Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor, an independent initiative hosted by the UNDP. In the 2009 presidential elections, he was ranked third in the polls, behind the president Hamid Karzai and his main contender Dr. Abdullah Abdullah.

California Homeowners' Bill of Rights Passes; Common Sense Prevails
Blog post • Jul 13, 2012 12:21 EDT
Homeowners everywhere should be looking at California and taking notice. The government there is finally taking the power away from the banks and placing it back in the hands of the homeowners.
Outside of Florida, no state has been quite as devastated by the fraudclosure crisis as California has, so it comes as no surprise that they would be at the center of what looks like a growing trend.
Just this week Governor Jerry Brown signed into a law a Homeowners Bill of Rights. This legislation, among other things, will restrict dual-tracking, the shady practice of modifying a loan while still pursuing a foreclosure.
The law will also impose a singular point of contact for homeowners to deal with at their lender.
And of course it requires banks to prove that they have the legal right to foreclose and preserves the right for homeowners to take legal action when they don't.
On one level it seems so preposterous that such rules would be needed, but we let the fox guard the henhouse for far too long, hence the reason we had a foreclosure crisis in the first place!
Those things that should be obvious are no longer just violations of common law (and common sense) but are finally being codified as violations of statutory law.
The reality is what you are seeing in California is an absolute necessity and they are not the only ones. Nevada actually passed similar rules last year. New York's State Assembly just passed a bill that would criminalize robosigning, although sadly the Senate did not vote on the legislation this year.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OXiGENE, Inc. (Nasdaq:OXGN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics to treat cancer, announced today that the US Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 8,397,859, covering certain benzosuberene-based compounds, including the analogues referred to as KGP18 and KGP156 that are currently in preclinical development. The patent also covers methods of using those compounds to inhibit tubulin polymerization, to reduce blood flow to a tumor, or to restrain, slow, stop or reverse progression of a tumor.
These compounds are the product of OXiGENE's ongoing collaboration with Kevin G. Pinney, Ph.D. and Mary Lynn Trawick, Ph.D.at Baylor University to identify inhibitors of tubulin polymerization as vascular targeting agents and as back-up compounds to OXiGENE's combretastatin A-4P (ZYBRESTAT®) and OXi4503. Recently, the focus of this collaboration has centered on the development of novel antiproliferative agents (benzosuberenes) and anti-invasive molecules (cathepsin L inhibitors). OXiGENE has an exclusive license to the worldwide rights to all of the compounds that result from this collaboration.
"The issuance of the patent covering benzosuberenes is an important achievement for OXiGENE that enhances the value of our anticancer portfolio for potential pharmaceutical partners and investors," said Peter J. Langecker, M.D., Ph.D., OXiGENE's Chief Executive Officer. "We believe that this exciting new class of compounds has the potential to enhance treatment options for oncologists and patients with cancer. This work also demonstrates the continued productivity of our collaboration with Baylor University."
"This benzosuberene series of molecules are among the most potent antiproliferative agents identified to date in our laboratories, and we believe this exceptional potency coupled with their antivascular activity make these compounds potentially well-suited for selective delivery strategies, including their use as payloads for antibody-directed therapy," said Dr. Pinney, Professor of Chemistry at Baylor University.
Benzosuberenes have highly potent anti-proliferative activity via inhibition of tubulin assembly at the colchicine binding site. Lead compounds include KGP18 and KGP156, which are potent small-molecule tubulin depolymerizing agents displaying sub-nanomolar (in the case of KGP18) antiproliferative activity in vitro against a number of human cancer cell lines. These compounds have also been shown to disrupt capillary-like networks of endothelial cells in vitro and induce reductions in tumor blood flow in human tumor xenografts in mice. Two publications detailing the synthesis and in vitro activity of the initial lead compounds in this series of benzosuberenes have appeared in print (Bioorg. Med. Chem. 16:8161-8171 (2008); and Med. Chem. Commun. 3:720-24 (2012).

Dec. 7, 2004
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Junior Kevin Yurkewich was named ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Yurkewich's appointment makes him the 120th student-athlete at MIT to earn Academic All-America honors since 1980.
Serving as the Engineers starting defensive end, Yurkewich was a First Team selection after leading the New England Football Conference (NEFC) in total tackles. He also finished third overall in tackles for loss.
Yurkewich's selection was the second year in a row for a member of Tech's gridiron unit, and the 24th honor bestowed upon a member of the MIT football team. With 24 selections, the football program has yielded the largest membership from any single team at the Institute. Women's volleyball has earned 11 citations to rank second.
As a whole, MIT ranks third all-time in Academic All-America honors. Only the University of Nebraska and Notre Dame University, both Division I powers, have elicited more accolades.
MIT set a record in 1999, copping 11 Academic All-America honors during the calender year.

Kate Middleton and Prince William commemorated London Poppy Day by making a surprise appearance Thursday at a London Tube Station.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took a chartered 1960s Routemaster bus -- one of London's famed double-deckers -- from the High Street Kensington station, just a quarter mile from their Kensington Palace home, in order to visit volunteers and poppy sellers to raise funds for war veterans, the Telegraph reported.
The royal British Legion's "Poppy Day" rounded up about 2,000 volunteers in London's streets to help raise $1.6 million in one day to benefit Britain's war dead ahead of Remembrance Sunday, the Associated Press reported.
Meanwhile, William's younger brother, Prince Harry, joined their grandfather, Prince Philip, at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony commemorating fallen soldiers, AP said.
Prince George's parents, both 31, pinned red poppies to their coats for the Thursday event to commemorate war casualties. For the occasion, the duchess wore a long red belted L.K. Bennett coat, which aptly matched the poppies and her selected mode of transportation.
It isn't the first time we've seen the royals take public transportation recently. Back in March, Middleton, Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, boarded London's Underground trains to celebrate 150 years of the transit system. Since the duchess was pregnant with George at the time, she was presented with a "baby on board" pin. (Adorbs, right?)
The new parents also revealed that they had finally settled into their new home at Kensington Palace: A 21-room apartment.
"It's quite nice being in one place," Wills told the volunteers (via People).
Their recently christened 3½-month old son was "half asleep," Kate told comedian Barbara Windsor.
"He's behaving himself this morning," William said.
To the British media's delight, not everything was picture perfect for the royal couple. Tabloids played up the new mom's few gray hairs, which were noticeable from her center part, the Daily Mail noted.
Hey, she's a new mom and a royal. It's stressful.
But it's not as if her brunet mane is necessarily the last thing on her mind: The Telegraph reported last month that Middleton already booked a hairdresser for her tour of Australia with her husband in 2014.
In other royal news, Taylor Swift is set to perform at the royals' Winter Whites Gala on Nov. 26 along with Jon Bon Jovi and James Blunt. The winter wonderland-themed event is aimed to benefit the homeless youth charity Centrepoint, which the duke has been working with since 2005.
She's pretty "excited" about it too.
"I'm really stoked. This is my first thing I've performed at for any kind of royal engagement and I'm very, very honored," the country-pop singer told BBC Radio 2.
However, the 23-year-old said she's already inquired what protocol might be when it comes to meeting a member of the royal family.
"I've been asking about that," Swift said of etiquette. "I think I'm really safe if I just shake hands and be polite."
But she made no assumptions about actually getting to meet Prince William or anyone else.
"That's being presumptuous in that assuming I'll meet them," she added. "First, I'll just be polite enough to not assume I'm going to get to meet them."
How lady-like.

I wanted to bake something out of the ordinary using the leftover ingredients from our office's "Margaritas and Mojitos" happy hour. I decided to create a mojito cupcake by making some simple modifications to the lime tea cupcake recipe . By steeping the milk with mint instead of tea leaves and adding a dash of rum, I was able to capture the flavors found in a mojito: lime, mint and rum.
My first attempt was not quite successful. I found some small party cups at a local party supply store and thought they would make cute cupcake liners. I filled each cup ¾ full as directed in the original recipe. Unfortunately, this was too much for the cups to hold and the batter overflowed. Unattractiveness aside, the cupcake did taste like a mojito.
I used the same modified recipe for my second attempt. I tossed out the party cup idea (too hard to get the baked cupcake out of the cup) and went with traditional cupcake liners making sure to fill the liners no more than halfway. The recipe yielded 12 regular sized cupcakes and 20 miniature cupcakes.
I frosted the cupcakes with a swirl of lime cream cheese frosting. Although the frosted cupcake tasted good, the cheesiness of the frosting detracted from the mojito theme. In the future, I think I will top them with a mint whipped cream or a rum-infused glaze.
Mojito Cupcakes
makes 18 regular cupcakes
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup mint leaves, loosely packed
3/4 cup whole milk, hot
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temp.
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
grated zest of 2 limes
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp rum (optional)
Preheat to 350F.
Add mint leaves to hot milk. Let steep for 10-15 minutes. Pour milk through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Press liquid from mint leaves. Discard leaves and allow milk to cool slightly.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter on medium speed until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in lime zest, vanilla and rum (if using).
On very low speed, add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk and ending with flour, mixing until just incorporated.
Fill 18 standard muffin cups half full. Bake until cupcakes spring back when touched, 18-22 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan and cool completely.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT sophomore Aric Dama has been named Pitcher of the Year and head coach Andy Barlow earned coach of the year as the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) released their Baseball All-Conference teams on Wednesday afternoon. Dama and Barlow join four other Engineers who received All-Conference nods.
With the award, Dama earns an automatic spot on the first-team All-Conference, the lone Engineer to grab first team honors. Designated hitter A.J. Hansborough, catcher Dan Hyatt, pitcher Kiel Jindra and shortstop Bryan Macomber all received spots on the NEWMAC second team.
Dama, a sophomore from Winfield, Ill., had a 1.13 ERA and a 4-1 record in 12 appearances for the Engineers after starting the season with a 1 hit shutout at Trinity. He spent much of the season in the top five in the country in earned run average and at one point, had a twenty-one and a third inning scoreless streak. His conference statistics are even more impressive, with a 0.57 ERA and a 3-0 record, including shutouts of Wheaton, Coast Guard, Springfield and Clark.
Hyatt, a senior captain from Wallingford, Conn., earns his second all-conference nod. He was a member of the NEWMAC second team in 2009. Hyatt has anchored a very young pitching staff while contributing offensively, co-leading the team in hits and second in RBIs and batting average. He is fifth in putouts in the conference and has thrown out ten runners on 27 attempts, tied for fourth.
Despite battling injuries, Hansborough was a steady cleanup hitter for the Engineers. The junior from Deltona, Fla. had a .408 average that was fourth in the conference, while he was fifth in slugging percentage (.507) and ninth in OBP (.476). He led MIT in batting average, was second in hits and third in RBI and runs scored.
An excellent defender, Macomber has been a solid shortstop for the Engineers, whose ability to get to ground balls has saved many bases. Offensively, he became a dangerous hitter by mid-season, breaking the MIT record with a four-double game and leading the team with 19 RBIs. The junior from Los Altos, Calif. is slugging .506, sixth in the conference and has hit two of MIT's six homeruns this year.
Jindra's performances in conference games were all MIT could have hoped for out of the freshman from Oceanside, Calif. He spun an eight inning, 3 hit scoreless gem against Babson, two hits over six innings against Coast Guard and one unearned run over five innings against Clark. His conference ERA was fifth overall and his BAA was third in the NEWMAC, while pitching the most conference innings.
Barlow, a native of Burlington, Vermont, took over the team in 2004 and has won over 150 games, owning the best winning percentage of any coach in MIT baseball history. This is his second NEWMAC Coach of the Year honor, having won the honor in 2009. A 1985 graduate of the University of Vermont, Barlow's breadth of experience also includes time spent coaching in some of the top collegiate summer leagues in the country. Barlow is a longtime member of the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and is also an active member of the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA).

10th Doctor Costume Tee
Be Tennant's Doctor
It's been said that you never forget your first Doctor. For many new Whovians, that's David Tennant. Sure, we like Matt Smith and all, but if we're gonna run away with someone, it's gonna be number ten.
I was once asked for my autograph in the shower on one of my rare visits to the gym. I was washing my hair, facing the wall, when I was tapped on the shoulder so already it's quite inappropriate. I turned round and there was another naked man standing there with a piece of paper. And I think 'if you can't see how inappropriate this I am just going to have to play along' so I took the paper, which is slowly becoming mulch, and carved my name in it."
- David Tennant on fan obsession, The Graham Norton Show, April 14, 2011
Dressing like the Doctor, good. Stalking naked actors in the gym shower? Not so good.

Censuses of Native Americans
This article originally appeared in "Census Records" by Loretto Dennis Szucs and Matthew Wright in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
In some years, separate censuses of Native Americans were taken by the federal government and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. While some early Native American populations were tabulated by missionary priests and colonial authorities, specific examples of such tallies have not been located.
The 1860 and 1870 federal censuses noted only Native Americans living in non-Native American households. Native Americans who were not taxed (living on reservations) and members of nomad tribes in unsettled territories were not counted. It is safe to say that those enumerations of Native Americans made before 1880 are incomplete and frequently inaccurate. Additionally, in many instances, Native American origins are not indicated.
1880 Native American Census
In 1880, a special enumeration was taken of Native Americans living near military reservations in the Dakota and Washington territories and the state of California. The census included the name of the tribe, the reservation, the agency, and the nearest post office; the number of people living in the household, with a description of the dwelling; the Native American name with English translation for each family member; the relationship of each person to the head of household; marital and tribal status; and occupation, health, education, land ownership, and source of sustenance. Some enumerators also added customs and lifestyle data.
The 1880 Census of Indians, Not-Taxed is in four volumes in National Archives Record Group 29. Volumes 1 and 2 cover Fort Simcoe, Washington, and Tulalip, Washington Territory. Volume 3 covers Fort Yates, Dakota Territory, and volume 4 covers California.
1885'1940 Native American Censuses
The 1885 to 1940 Indian census rolls are on National Archives microfilm M-595 (692 rolls). Census enumerations were taken regularly, though not annually, by Indian agents on each reservation from 1885 to 1940. Throughout these rolls are scattered letters written by agents describing why returns were not taken with instructions to enumerators on how to take the census. Vital records are noted in the age column or appended in separate lists.
In 1978, E. Kay Kirkham, Field Operations, Genealogical Society of Utah, updated and corrected the National Archives listing of Native American bands and tribes in these 692 microfilm rolls. He compiled an index for all tribes and bands, with Indian agency, National Archives reel number, and Genealogical Society of Utah call number. Tribes are found under several agencies during the period covered by the census, so it is important to study the history of the tribe before beginning research. Copies of this register are available in the Family History Library's American reference area. Copies can be made on request for use in family history centers to access the lists more easily. There is no master name index to the Native Americans themselves.
Three copies of the census were made: one for the federal government in Washington (now transferred to the National Archives); a second for the Superintendent at Indian Affairs (Bureau of Indian Affairs); and a third for the Indian agency. Many Bureau of Indian Affairs copies were destroyed. Some local copies are still in agencies' possession or have been transferred to National Archives regional archives.
1898'1906 Indian Census Cards Index
The Indian Census Cards Index was compiled by the Dawes Commission to verify individual rights to tribal allotments for the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole). To search this index, send the name of the tribe, name of the individual, approximate date of birth or death, and location to the Director, National Archives'Southwest Region, Box 6216, Fort Worth, TX 76115. Copies of the index are available from the Five Civilized Tribes Center, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Muskogee Agency, Fourth Floor, Federal Building, Muskogee, OK 74401, and through the Family History Library.
In the 1910 census, a special Indian schedule is sometimes found at the end of regular population schedules for some counties. For example, NV 1910 lists tribe, tribe of father, tribe of mother, proportion of Native American blood, and number of times married.
1910'1939 Indian School Census
The Bureau of Indian Affairs took separate Indian school censuses from 1910 to 1939. These include the names of all children between six and eighteen years of age, and their sex, tribe, degree of Native American blood, distance from home to the school, parent or guardian, and attendance during the year. Some schedules are available on microfilm, but most are still in original form in the Federal Records Center for the region where the tribe was located. Unlike other population census records, these often include the mother's surname.
Native American census records can be used to identify relationships, mothers' full names, aliases, ancestral rights, and inheritances. These census records, however, apply only to Native Americans registered with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Many Native American families never enrolled with the government. These persons are recorded in the regular census schedules, usually without evidence of their Native American ties.
Other miscellaneous records document Native American populations. Supplementary rolls list births, deaths, and sometimes marriages. Deduction rolls give deaths or removals from the jurisdiction. Additional rolls include arrivals and births. Allotment rolls list those entitled to payment and the payments received. For a more detailed description of these and other Native American sources, see chapter 19.
