Mary Surratt
Mary Elizabeth Jenkins Surratt (1820 or May 1823 – July 7, 1865) was an American boarding house owner who was convicted of taking part in the conspiracy to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. Sentenced to death, she was hanged, becoming the first white woman executed by the United States federal government. Surratt was the mother of John H. Surratt, Jr., who was later tried but was not convicted of involvement in the assassination.

Perfectly Designed: Soirée Suisse 2009
Washington, D.C. / September 23, 2009 - 700 guests teemed into a white tent abutting the Swiss Residence for the 8th annual Soirée Suisse. Swiss Ambassador Urs Ziswiler and his wife, Ronit, welcomed their visitors with music, charmingly traditional Swiss cuisine, and—of course—an assortment of imported Swiss wines.
The dedication of this event is first and foremost to express our thanks and appreciation for the great relations Switzerland has with the U.S. The theme of this year's Soirée Suisse is Swiss Design. With Switzerland's leadership in science, research and technology, we are working with American counterparts on innovative design solutions, said the Swiss Ambassador.
The hosts spared no detail in demonstrating this years theme, Swiss Design and Architecture. The tents were carpeted by Ruckstuhl and draped with fabrics by Création Baumann. The courtyard featured dramatic displays of avant-garde Vitra and Jasper Morrison furniture. Even the swimming pool was awash with a laser-light show. This event is part of the U.S.-wide program ThinkSwiss—Brainstorm the Future. As a leading country in science, research and technology, Switzerland is working with its American counterparts to address key global topics. For more information, please visit thinkSwiss.org
CIMCC Native Youth Art Project: Tearing Down the Walls of Mission History Education
TITLE: “Tearing Down the Walls of Mission History Education”
ARTISTS: California Indian Museum & Cultural Center’s Native Youth Advisory Committee: Unica Yepez, Makela Yepez, Elijah Williams, Bella Williams, Brisa Yepez, Sebastian Billy, Rose Hammock, Jayden Lim, Octavio Vega, and Kristall Vega
Filmed and edited by Che’la Jernigan
Our Art, Our Voice:
In light of Pope Francis’s recent announcement of his intent to make Father Serra a Saint, and the timely discussion of how California's fourth graders are taught about Mission History, we created a short media piece to voice Native youth perspectives of these issues. Titled Tearing Down the Walls of Mission History Education, in this film we address common stereotypes and misconceptions perpetuated in Mission History Curricula. We aim to counteract misinformed ideas such as California Indians were uncivilized, that we wandered to missions, or that we came to them for food, shelter and clothing. We combat notions that often try to excuse the actions of people during this era, that we were done a favor by the Spanish who brought us missions, that we were lucky to be given jobs, or that they were merely men of their time. We used mission models, which are commonly assigned as 4th grade school projects, as a symbol for tearing down these notions and relating how inappropriate it is to ask California Indian children to build these models in the face of the impacts these institutions have had on their tribes and communities. This video sheds light on the truth of a history often denied and romanticized by textbooks, media and docents. It strives to be a powerful teaching tool for parents, students, teachers and more.
About the Artists:
The Native Youth Advisory Committee serves as the youth advisory board to the Tribal Ambassadors Through Business Project. This endeavor will culminate in the establishment of a nonprofit social enterprise Museum Store and Art Gallery at the California Indian Museum & Cultural Center (CIMCC) located in Santa Rosa, California. Opening Fall 2016, the Museum Store will serve as a social enterprise to a Native Youth Employment Training Program which will educate and empower Native youth by preparing them for GED/higher learning obtainment, and providing them with professional and occupational skills, on-the-job training, and employment placement assistance. The ten youth that serve on the advisory committee demonstrate remarkable passion and commitment to enhancing resources and creating opportunities within their communities.
About the California Indian Museum & Cultural Center:
The California Indian Museum and Cultural Center was founded in 1996 with the purpose of educating the public about the history, culture, and contemporary life of California Indians and to honor their contributions to civilization. The purpose of the California Indian Museum and Cultural Center is to culturally enrich and benefit the people of California and the general public. The goals of the Museum and Cultural Center are to educate the public about California Indian history and cultures, to showcase California Indian cultures, to enhance and facilitate these cultures and traditions through educational and cultural activities, to preserve and protect California Indian cultural and intellectual properties, and to develop relationships with other indigenous groups.

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
