He said that neither he nor Marty Weiner had received a copy of the letter Judge Hardesty sent. Mr. King said he understood the letter mentioned a review of the Conflict Contract with Jack Alian; it did not mention that anyone else had a chance to get the contract or could talk with Judge Hardesty about having a better idea.

    Harvey D. Dickerson – Democrat, Elected 22 nd and 25 th Nevada Attorney General Terms: January 3, 1955 – January 4, 1960 January 7, 1963 – January 2, 1967 January 2, 1967 – January 4, 1971 Harvey Denver Dickerson, born on June 3, 1905 in Ely, Nevada, was the first of eight children born to Denver S. Dickerson and Una Reilly, a local teacher in Cherry Creek, Nevada. At the age of 36, Harvey’s father, a member of the Silver-Democrat Party, served as Acting Governor of Nevada from 1908-1911. The Dickersons became the first family to live in the newly-completed Governor’s Mansion in Carson City, and their daughter June was the first child born in the Mansion. In 1909, Governor Denver Dickerson signed the legislation creating Clark County, Nevada. He also worked to restructure state mental hospitals and reform the state prison system. Harvey’s mother, Una, not only was the First Lady of the State of Nevada, she also was a “very capable young lady, possessing marked clerical ability and [who] efficiently filled the position of Minute Clerk in the Nevada Assembly of 1903”, as reported in the Eureka Sentinel on April 23, 1904, the day of Denver & Una’s wedding. From 1925- 1956, Una was the law librarian for the Washoe County Library, and her “reputation for knowing the law is still legend at the Washoe County Library. 1 Harvey Dickerson was educated in Carson City, Nevada schools, while his father was warden of the state prison.2 He attended the University of Nevada in Reno. According to the 1930 edition of Artemisia, the annual yearbook, Dickerson was a member of the University of Nevada Sagebrush campus newspaper, Literary Board, and the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Browsing Through Bias: the Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies
    Browsing through Bias: The Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies Sara A. Howard and Steven A. Knowlton Abstract The knowledge organization system prepared by the Library of Con- gress (LC) and widely used in academic libraries has some disadvan- tages for researchers in the fields of African American studies and LGBTQIA studies. The interdisciplinary nature of those fields means that browsing in stacks or shelflists organized by LC Classification requires looking in numerous locations. As well, persistent bias in the language used for subject headings, as well as the hierarchy of clas- sification for books in these fields, continues to “other” the peoples and topics that populate these titles. This paper offers tools to help researchers have a holistic view of applicable titles across library shelves and hopes to become part of a larger conversation regarding social responsibility and diversity in the library community.1 Introduction The neat division of knowledge into tidy silos of scholarly disciplines, each with its own section of a knowledge organization system (KOS), has long characterized the efforts of libraries to arrange their collections of books. The KOS most commonly used in American academic libraries is the Li- brary of Congress Classification (LCC). LCC, developed between 1899 and 1903 by James C. M. Hanson and Charles Martel, is based on the work of Charles Ammi Cutter. Cutter devised his “Expansive Classification” to em- body the universe of human knowledge within twenty-seven classes, while Hanson and Martel eventually settled on twenty (Chan 1999, 6–12). Those classes tend to mirror the names of academic departments then prevail- ing in colleges and universities (e.g., Philosophy, History, Medicine, and Agriculture).

  • HISTORY of WASHOE COUNTY Introduction
    HISTORY OF WASHOE COUNTY Introduction Lying in the northwest portion of the State of Nevada, named for a tribe of American Indians and containing a land area in excess of 6,000 square miles, Washoe County today consists of two of the nine original counties -- Washoe and Lake (later renamed Roop) Counties -- into which the Territory of Nevada was divided by the first territorial legislature in 1861. The country, "a land of contrasts, extremes, and apparent contradictions, of mingled barrenness and fertility, beauty and desolation, aridity and storm,"1 was claimed by the Spanish Empire until 1822 when it became a part of Mexican territory resulting from Mexico's successful war of independence from Spain. Mexico ceded the area to the United States in 1848 following the Mexican War, and the ceded lands remained part of the "unorganized territory" of the United States until 1850. Spanish and Mexican constructive possession probably had little effect on the life styles of the Northern Paiutes and the Washos -- the two American Indian tribes which inhabited the area. The Northern Paiutes ranged over most of Washoe County2 save the series of valleys lying along the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada. These valleys were the domain of the Washos, a small, nomadic tribe whose members spoke an alien tongue and from which the name of the county is derived3. The 1840's During the 1840's Washoe County was traversed by a number of trappers and explorers, as well as several well-defined emigrant trails leading to California and Oregon. In 1843 mountain man "Old Bill" Williams4 led his trappers from the Klamath Lake region of California to Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River.
