First night of Huntsville's new Arts & Entertainment District
June 20, 2013
(Huntsville, AL) - The City of Huntsville is launching two new Arts & Entertainment Districts on Thursday, June 20, in downtown Huntsville. The City is taking advantage of the State's new open container legislation to develop cultural districts where street performers, block parties, concerts, live art demonstrations, art strolls, outdoor movies and more will occur in the Quigley and Meridian Arts & Entertainment Districts. This downtown entertainment will showcase the arts in Huntsville while supporting restaurants and bars as they participate in the new district by serving drinks to-go.
The districts will begin with a 90-day soft roll out on Thursday and Friday evenings from 5 - 10 p.m. During that time, patrons may purchase a beverage at one of the participating bars and restaurants, and stroll downtown to experience the entertainment.
When we first looked at the Entertainment District legislation, we recognized it was basically an open container law, and we knew that wasn't exactly what we wanted, said Mayor Battle. We assembled a stakeholder group of citizens, businesses, city employees and downtown interests and asked for their input. They decided the City should animate downtown with arts and cultural activities. Strolling with a beverage was just an extra plus.
To set the stage for a successful cultural launch, the Mayor turned to The Arts Council for assistance in helping to develop programming for the Quigley District.
The Arts Council Director Allison Dillon-Jauken said her group was pleased to help. The new arts programming is a natural fit with events already happening in downtown Huntsville during the summer months.
For example, the Sidewalk Arts Stroll will feature area artists once a month in Constitution Village on June 20, July 18 and August 15. The Historic Huntsville Foundation is bringing back the popular Movies In the Park series and asking patrons to cast their vote on their preference of films at historichuntsville.org. The Greene Street Market, hosted each Thursday on the corner of Eustis and Greene streets, welcomes the public to visit downtown and purchase fresh products from local farms, bakers, gardens and more.
When the district opens for the first time this Thursday, The Arts Council will kick off weekly Art2 programming with free, public performances around the square and in Big Spring East. Highlights of Art2 programming through July 5 include:
· Thursday, June 20th - Performances by saxophonist Reginald Jackson, the Rocket City Jugglers, street magician Dr. Osborn, ukulele singer/songwriter Wanda June, acoustic musician Scott Morgan, and the flute/guitar duo Toot & Twang on the square, and the Huntsville Drumline in Big Spring Park East.
· Friday, June 21st - Performances by Gavin Boost and Geoff & Bryan Acoustic Duo on the square; saxophonist Alex Banks, II, followed by Live By Satellite in concert in Big Spring Park East.
· Thursday, June 27th - ArtsAlive Block Party on Eustis Street off the square featuring The Arts Council's 2013 Homegrown Talent Final Round and The 911 Reporters, performance on the square by the North Alabama Flute Choir, and live art demonstrations by the North Alabama Wood Crafters and Green Pea Press.
· Friday, June 28th - Performances by Winslow Davis and Audio Radiance on the square and additional programming in Big Spring Park East.
· Thursday, July 4th - No programming due to Independence Day.
· Friday, July 5th - Performances by Wanda June and Chris Wade on the square; Splitting Atoms concert in Big Spring Park East.
The Arts Council's Art2 programming is made possible with support from Big Spring Partners, Committee of 100, The Downtown 47, Historic Huntsville Foundation, and the City of Huntsville and its Department of Parks & Recreation.

SUMMARY
=======
Alabama is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. Alabama is the 30th largest by area and the 24th-most populous of the U.S. states. With a total of 1,500 miles (2,400 km) of inland waterways, Alabama has among the most of any state.Alabama is nicknamed the Yellowhammer State, after the state bird. Alabama is also known as the Heart of Dixie and the Cotton State. The state tree is the longleaf pine, and the state flower is the camellia. Alabama's capital is Montgomery. The largest city by population is Birmingham, which has long been the most industrialized city; the largest city by land area is Huntsville. The oldest city is Mobile, founded by French colonists in 1702 as the capital of French Louisiana.From the American Civil War until World War II, Alabama, like many states in the southern U.S., suffered economic hardship, in part because of its continued dependence on agriculture. Similar to other former slave states, Alabamian legislators employed Jim Crow laws to disenfranchise and otherwise discriminate against African Americans from the end of the Reconstruction Era up until at least the 1970s. Despite the growth of major industries and urban centers, white rural interests dominated the state legislature from 1901 to the 1960s. During this time, urban interests and African Americans were markedly under-represented. Following World War II, Alabama grew as the state's economy changed from one primarily based on agriculture to one with diversified interests. The state's economy in the 21st century is based on management, automotive, finance, manufacturing, aerospace, mineral extraction, healthcare, education, retail, and technology.

SUMMARY
=======
Appalachia () is a cultural region in the Eastern United States that stretches from the Southern Tier of New York to northern Alabama and Georgia. While the Appalachian Mountains stretch from Belle Isle in Canada to Cheaha Mountain in Alabama, the cultural region of Appalachia typically refers only to the central and southern portions of the range, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, southwesterly to the Great Smoky Mountains. As of the 2010 United States Census, the region was home to approximately 25 million people.Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament, and behavior of its inhabitants. Early 20th century writers often engaged in yellow journalism focused on sensationalistic aspects of the region's culture, such as moonshining and clan feuding, and often portrayed the region's inhabitants as uneducated and prone to impulsive acts of violence. Sociological studies in the 1960s and 1970s helped to re-examine and dispel these stereotypes.While endowed with abundant natural resources, Appalachia has long struggled and been associated with poverty. In the early 20th century, large-scale logging and coal mining firms brought wage-paying jobs and modern amenities to Appalachia, but by the 1960s the region had failed to capitalize on any long-term benefits from these two industries. Beginning in the 1930s, the federal government sought to alleviate poverty in the Appalachian region with a series of New Deal initiatives, such as the construction of dams to provide cheap electricity and the implementation of better farming practices. On March 9, 1965, the Appalachian Regional Commission was created to further alleviate poverty in the region, mainly by diversifying the region's economy and helping to provide better health care and educational opportunities to the region's inhabitants. By 1990, Appalachia had largely joined the economic mainstream, but still lagged behind the rest of the nation in most economic indicators.

SUMMARY
=======
Gadsden is a city in and the county seat of Etowah County in the U.S. state of Alabama. It is located on the Coosa River about 56 miles (90 km) northeast of Birmingham and 90 miles (140 km) southwest of Chattanooga, Tennessee. It is the primary city of the Gadsden Metropolitan Statistical Area, which has a population of 103,931. As of the 2010 census, the population of the city was 36,856, with an estimated population of 35,837 in 2016. Gadsden and Rome, Georgia, are the largest cities in the triangular area now defined by the interstate highways between Atlanta, Birmingham, and Chattanooga.
In the 19th century, Gadsden was at one time Alabama's second-most important center of commerce and industry, trailing only the seaport of Mobile. The two cities were important shipping centers: Gadsden for riverboats and Mobile for international trade.
From the late 19th century through the 1980s, Gadsden was a center of heavy industry, including the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and Republic Steel. More than a decade after the sharp decline in industry, in 1991 Gadsden was awarded the honor of All-America City by the National Civic League. This honored the way Gadsden's citizens, government, businesses, and voluntary organizations have worked together to address critical local issues.
Tennessee High Court Postpones All Scheduled Exe
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Supreme Court has postponed execution dates for four inmates, including one from Hamilton County, effectively halting all executions while the courts decide whether current protocols for putting people to death are constitutional.
Tennessee last executed a prisoner in 2009. Since then, legal challenges and problems obtaining lethal injection drugs have stalled new executions.
In 2013 and 2014, the state tried to jump-start the process with a new lethal injection method and the reinstatement of electrocution as a backup. The court set new execution dates for 11 inmates. One inmate died in prison, and the execution dates for the others have been postponed as they approach because of legal challenges to the new methods.
On Friday, the court postponed the last of the scheduled execution dates. It will set new dates after the legal questions are settled.
Attorneys for death row inmates have been trying to force the state to hand over the names of the people on the execution team, including the pharmacist who will prepare the lethal injection drug, to determine whether those people are properly qualified. However, last month the high court ruled that the state does not have to turn over those names.
Before lawmakers passed a law making electrocution a viable backup option if the proper drugs could not be obtained, prisoners could not be forced to die by the electric chair. They were, however, allowed to choose it under some circumstances.
Execution drugs have been in short supply because manufacturers have refused to sell the drugs to prisons for use in executions. Prison officials across the U.S. turned to compounding pharmacies instead, but those versions have also become difficult to come by because pharmacists are reluctant to expose themselves to possible harassment.
One of the executions postponed is that of Lee Hall, the Hamilton County man convicted in the grisly 1991 death of his ex-girlfriend, Traci Crozier.
As we reported earlier, the court set a January 12, 2016 date for the death of Hall, formerly known as Leroy Hall Jr.
Hall was convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated arson in the death of 22-year-old Traci Crozier, who died hours after being set on fire.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Appalachia () is a cultural region in the Eastern United States that stretches from the Southern Tier of New York to northern Alabama and Georgia. While the Appalachian Mountains stretch from Belle Isle in Canada to Cheaha Mountain in Alabama, the cultural region of Appalachia typically refers only to the central and southern portions of the range, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, southwesterly to the Great Smoky Mountains. As of the 2010 United States Census, the region was home to approximately 25 million people.Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament, and behavior of its inhabitants. Early 20th century writers often engaged in yellow journalism focused on sensationalistic aspects of the region's culture, such as moonshining and clan feuding, and often portrayed the region's inhabitants as uneducated and prone to impulsive acts of violence. Sociological studies in the 1960s and 1970s helped to re-examine and dispel these stereotypes.While endowed with abundant natural resources, Appalachia has long struggled and been associated with poverty. In the early 20th century, large-scale logging and coal mining firms brought wage-paying jobs and modern amenities to Appalachia, but by the 1960s the region had failed to capitalize on any long-term benefits from these two industries. Beginning in the 1930s, the federal government sought to alleviate poverty in the Appalachian region with a series of New Deal initiatives, such as the construction of dams to provide cheap electricity and the implementation of better farming practices. On March 9, 1965, the Appalachian Regional Commission was created to further alleviate poverty in the region, mainly by diversifying the region's economy and helping to provide better health care and educational opportunities to the region's inhabitants. By 1990, Appalachia had largely joined the economic mainstream, but still lagged behind the rest of the nation in most economic indicators.

(Sick E-bell) Bibb-Garrett Road Railroad Crossing, Decatur, AL
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, 1 pair of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a very sick General Signals electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
The bell on the signal on the right is extremely sick, so it's quite hard to hear. In fact, it's so hard to hear that a good friend of mine, NintendoMario246, thought that it was dead. One of the 12x24 inch lights is also out of alignment. The 12x20 inch light directly above it also used to be pointing towards the camera, but NS pointed it back in the direction it's supposed to be pointing. The signal doesn't even really need front lights, as right behind where I had my camera is a field.
