# Try and Stop Me

Try And Stop Me (2004) is the most recent studio album by guitarist Leo Kottke. It contains some of Kottke's first forays into improvisation. All songs are unaccompanied guitar solos with the exception of "Banks of Marble" in which Kottke is supported by the band Los Lobos.
Kottke plays a new arrangement of Carla Bley's "Jesus Maria" here, his third recorded version of the song. Besides the version on That's What, he contributed another recording of the song to a promotional album titled Sounds of Wood and Steel (1997) released by Taylor Guitars and Windham Hill.

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Hal Horowitz wrote of the album "... music that falls between folk, world, jazz, gospel, and the dreaded new age that is indelibly tied to Kottke's recognizable percussive style. There are few deviations from his established direction and many of these tracks could have been included on any of his previous two-dozen or so discs. But that doesn't lessen the impact of experiencing one of the most respected and intense acoustic guitarists in the history of the instrument ply his craft... Established fans won't find many revelations here, but they will still relish hearing fresh Kottke music, if only because he's obviously still playing at the top of his game 35 years into his idiosyncratic career." Rolling Stone gave the album 3 of 5 stars.

# 2013 Nui by-election

A by-election was held in the Nui constituency in Tuvalu on 10 September 2013. It was triggered by the resignation of the incumbent, MP Taom Tanukale, the Minister for Health, in the government of Willy Telavi.

## Result of the by-election

The Nui by-election was held on 10 September 2013. Leneuoti Maatusi was declared the winner, polling 297 of the 778 registered voters. Matusi has been a civil servant and served as the Secretary of the Nui Falekaupule. He beat Palemene Anelu, a recent graduate of the University of the South Pacific, who received 206 votes and Taom Tanukale, who received 160 votes. Nui is a two-seat constituency, and in the 2010 general election it had returned Isaia Italeli and Taom Tanukale with 24.6% and 23% of the vote respectively, ahead of three other candidates.
The second member of parliament from Nui is Pelenike Isaia, who was elected following the death of her husband Isaia Italeli, in the 2011 Nui by-election.

## Background to the Nui by-election

Although there are no political parties in Tuvalu, Members of Parliament align themselves with the government or with the Opposition. A constitutional crisis developed in 2013 when Willy Telavi, the Prime Minister of Tuvalu, refused to recall Parliament following the 2013 Nukufetau by-election. Tuvalu's opposition then requested the Governor-General Iakoba Italeli to intervene against the Prime Minister's decision not to recall Parliament. On 3 July 2013 the Governor-General exercised his reserve powers in ordering Parliament to convene. When the Parliament met on 30 July, the Speaker (Kamuta Latasi) refused to allow a debate on a no-confidence motion in the government of Willy Telavi. Taom Tanukale, the Health Minister then resigned from Parliament (and thus also from the government). This resignation appeared to be political manoeuvre as Willy Telavi responded by insisting that Parliament should be suspended until a by-election was held and declined to call the by-election. In Tuvalu a by-election can only be called when requested by the Prime Minister.
The Governor-General Iakoba Italeli then proceeded to exercise his reserve powers to order Mr Telavi's removal and the appointment of Enele Sopoaga as interim prime minister. The Parliament subsequently confirmed the appointment of Enele Sopoaga as prime minister. The government of Enele Sopoaga had a majority of two going into the by-election. Leneuoti Maatusi, elected in the by-election, committed to support Prime Minister Enele Sopoaga.

# Dorothy Grover

Dorothy Lucille Grover (9 September 1936 – 10 November 2017) was a New Zealand philosopher of logic who worked as a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She was known for prosententialism, a deflationary theory of truth in which assertions of the truth of a proposition combine with the proposition to form a pro-sentence, a part of speech which refers to the proposition itself much like a pronoun refers to a noun.

## Life

Grover was from the North Island of New Zealand, where she was born on 9 September 1936. After earning a diploma in 1958 from Wellington Teachers' College, she went to Victoria University of Wellington, where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1962 and a master's in 1966; her master's thesis was Entailment: a Study of System E, and a Critical Bibliography of the Subject in General. She came to the University of Pittsburgh for doctoral study, where she worked on logic with Nuel Belnap and Alan Ross Anderson, completing her Ph.D. in 1970. Her dissertation was Topics in Propositional Quantification.
She taught philosophy at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee for three years before moving to the University of Illinois at Chicago as a visiting assistant professor in 1972. She eventually became a full professor there, serving as department chair from 1980 to 1985 and from 1991 to 1994, and as Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
During this time in the 90s, Dorothy also engaged DCFS with an interest in adopting a child in need. Being told that most people choose to adopt a new born, Dorothy fostered an older child, Michael, and eventually adopted him.
After retiring as professor emerita in 1998, she returned to New Zealand, where she died in Christchurch on 10 November 2017.. She was survived by her adopted son, Michael Anthony (Tony), and granddaughter Komai Rosa.

## Contributions

Grover published her theory of prosententialism in a joint paper, "A prosentential theory of truth", with Belnap and Joseph Lee Camp Jr. in 1975. It was collected together with others of her essays on logic in a single-author 1992 Princeton University Press book, also titled A Prosentential Theory of Truth.
She continued to publish papers on truth and logic after the publication of the book and after her retirement, also making forays into the ethics of decisions involving dead people ("posthumous harm").

# Reagan V. Brown

Reagan Veasy Brown (September 20, 1921 – November 16, 1999) was the elected commissioner of the Texas Department of Agriculture from 1977 to 1983.

## Early years

He was born on September 20, 1921, he lost a finger in an accident when he was young. Brown graduated from Texas A&M University in 1943. He joined the United States Army in 1943 and served in the 69th Infantry Division in the European theatre of World War II. He was discharged from the Army in 1946 as a captain.

## Texas agriculture commissioner

Governor Dolph Briscoe appointed Brown to succeed longtime Agriculture Commissioner John C. White, when White resigned to serve in the Carter administration in Washington, D.C.
In 1978, Brown was elected under the new statute providing four-year terms for statewide elected officials. He was known for his fight for pest and predator control. To prevent the spread of the Mediterranean fruit fly from California to Texas in 1981, Brown required California produce to be fumigated before entering the state. Under special legislation passed during the fruit-fly crisis, the department was authorized to seize or to destroy infested products and to stop interstate and intrastate traffic to enforce the law.
Brown also worked to halt the spread of the imported fire ant. He even famously put his hand into a fire ant mound at the urging of a television reporter while news cameras rolled. However, his opponent in the 1982 Democratic primary election, the liberal journalist and commentator Jim Hightower, accused him of manufacturing the fire ant crisis to win reelection. Brown was also embarrassed when during a public speech in April 1982 he called Booker T. Washington, "That great black nigger, er, educator." (Bob Bullock by Dave McNeely. Pg. 152. 2008.) Brown would blame his slur on food poisoning. Hightower unseated Brown in a heavily Democratic year in Texas and nationally. Eight years later Hightower was himself unseated by future Governor Rick Perry.

## Lucky B Ranch

In 1983, Brown bought the Lucky B Ranch near Bryan, Texas. He bred bison, which were once plentiful in Texas but had since been hunted to near-extinction.

## Death

Brown died in a farm tractor accident at his ranch in Brazos County on November 16, 1999.

After the great Miami Hurricane of 1926 and the failed Florida land boom, Miami and Miami Beach were trying to recover economically. Famous mobster, Al Capone showed interest in buying a house in the area. This caused the greatest uproar in Lummus' tenure as mayor.
In a controversial move, Lummus Jr., not only welcomed Capone to Miami Beach — he helped the gangster acquire the Palm Island property.
At the end of his term, Lummus handed the reigns back to his predecessor, Louis F Snedigar, who eventually became Miami Beach's longest serving mayor.

# John J. McNulty Jr.

John J. McNulty Jr. ("Jack" or "Big Jack"; 1922–2009) was an American politician who held a series of local political offices in Albany County, New York from 1949 until 2002.
His son, Michael R. McNulty, was elected to several successive terms as a United States Congressman. Jack McNulty was a "co-congressman" for the two decades that his son served in the U.S. Congress, before his retirement from the U.S. House of Representatives in 2008. A fellow Democrat, Jack was a staunch opponent of the entrenched old guard Albany County Democratic political machine, which had unseated his father John J. McNulty Sr. as Sheriff of Albany County, New York in a political in-fight in 1937. Jack recaptured that sheriff's office in 1973.
McNulty was a respected elder statesman of northern New York State; the mention of his name at a 2000 Democratic convention at the Times Union Center caused the full arena crowd of 11,000 people to rise in a spontaneous standing ovation. "Jack McNulty's word was his bond," said Democratic New York State Senator Neil Breslin. "For being 87, Jack knew how to change with the time. Jack connected to people in their 20s," said Albany County Democratic Chairman Dan McCoy. Rensselaer County Democratic Chairman Thomas Wade called him "the man I often introduced at Democratic Party events as the greatest Democrat I know."
# Robert Lee McKenzie

Robert Lee McKenzie (October 16, 1870 – December 13, 1956) was an entrepreneur, a real estate developer, a founder and first mayor of Panama City, Florida, and an instrumental figure in the early history of Bob Jones University.

## Biography
### Business and political career

McKenzie was born and reared on a farm in Macon County, Georgia. Following graduation from high school, he owned and operated a general store.
In 1902 McKenzie moved to the Florida Panhandle and became joint owner of a naval stores business with 75 employees. McKenzie was the first in the area to use the innovative and less wasteful “turpentine cup” method for collecting pine tree resin. In 1904 McKenzie purchased waterfront property on St. Andrews Bay and cooperated with other businessmen in developing the town that they called Panama City with the aspiration that it become a port of entry for goods arriving via the planned Panama Canal.
After Panama City was incorporated in 1909, McKenzie was elected the first mayor. He also served two terms (1909-1913) as a representative from Washington County in the Florida House of Representatives. In 1913, McKenzie succeeded in his efforts to have Panama City named the seat of Bay County, which he had also helped to create. During World War II, McKenzie served as Chairman of the Bay County Chapter of the Red Cross (1941–44) and as a member of the Selective Service Board (1940–47).

### Supporter of Bob Jones University

McKenzie met Methodist evangelist Bob Jones during a 1919 tent-meeting campaign in Panama City. In the fall of 1925, after Jones decided to start a college in the area, he asked McKenzie for suggestions about possible locations and eventually chose a 2,500-acre peninsula on the bay, eight miles from Panama City and two miles from the hamlet of Lynn Haven. The Bob Jones College charter was signed in the office at his home. After the college opened in 1927, McKenzie served on the Executive Board for the remainder of his life. The current Bob Jones University Dining Common is named “Dixon-McKenzie” in honor of McKenzie, his wife, and his wife’s sister, Mary Dixon, all of whom were financial supporters of the school. Bob Jones College was relocated from Florida first to Cleveland, Tennessee, and then in 1947 to Greenville, South Carolina, where it was renamed Bob Jones University.

### Personal life

R. L. McKenzie was a charter member of the First Baptist Church of Panama City and later transferred his membership to the Cove Baptist Church. In 1912, McKenzie married Belle Booth, the Panama City postmistress, who had built a house at 17 E. Third Street after the death of her husband, Dr. Charles Booth. Following Belle’s death, McKenzie married Blandford Dixon, a schoolteacher twenty-four years his junior; and he had two daughters by his second marriage. In 1925 McKenzie enlarged the house, and many business and municipal meetings were held there.
In 1964, Panama City recognized McKenzie’s service to the community by renaming its city park, McKenzie Park. In 1986, his house, across from the park, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
# Louis F Snedigar

Louis Fielding “Red" Snedigar (1890–1951) was an attorney, realtor and four-time mayor of the city of Miami Beach.

## Early life

Louis married Edna Morris on May 24, 1916, in Deland, Florida. He later graduated from Stetson University where he played baseball while earning a law degree. Snedigar had a .420 batting average and was signed to a contract by the Philadelphia Athletics. Snedigar later credited major league legend, Connie Mack with dissuading him from a baseball career.
The Snedigars had two sons.

## Politics

Snedigar was the 4th, 6th and 9th Mayor of Miami Beach. In a letter he wrote to the mayor and city council in the late 1940s, Snedigar remarked that he had been the leader of the city through, "the boom, the bust, the Wall Street panic and, 'the blow'", referring to the great Miami Hurricane of 1926.
During Snedigar's terms as mayor he oversaw the installation of the city water system, the sewer system, the procurement of multiple parks and building of multiple bridges.
Notably, Snedigar was never a Miami Beach city council member prior to his election victories.
In his 1928 election victory, he defeated Val C Cleary by only four votes. He retired after the 1930 election.
In 1934, John H Levi withdrew from the mayoral race citing a technicality in the city charter. Snedigar announced his candidacy just a few hours later and went on to win his 3rd term.
During WWII, Snedigar's enlistment was declined. He joined the Florida State Guard and the Coast Guard volunteers.
After his service to Miami Beach, Snedigar ran for and won a Dade County Commission seat.
