neg: Duet Acting Duet Acting ( often shortened to `` Duet '' or abbreviated as `` DA '' in tournament schedules and results ) is an event in competitive high school forensics . Similar to Duo Interpretation , Duet Acting varies in two major respects : first , Duet is not an official National Forensic League event although some state organizations , such as the Texas Forensic Association , the Louisiana High School Speech League , and ( formerly ) the Ohio High School Speech League practice the event . Secondly , unlike Duo , in which the actors are not permitted to make eye contact with each other or touch each other , Duet incorporates an element of acting . Cuttings must be made from scripts .   Duet Acting involves two people , two chairs , and ( in some jurisdictions ) a table ; the furniture is supplied in each room of competition . Time limits vary , but generally each acting pair performs an eight - to twelve-minute scene , typically using only two characters . Occasionally the performers change roles , but can only play one character per scene in the manner of dramatic or humorous interpretation . The pieces may be either serious or funny , and the extensive use of movement is permitted ( i.e. , interaction between both characters , as well as with the table and chairs ) . Duet Acting has been removed from the Ohio High School Speech League .   Category : Debating

Seagle and originally performed by Rafael Agustin , Miles Gregley and Allan Axibal .   This play , part of the SPEAK Theater Arts , LLC company 's repertoire , uses a combination of theater , stand-up comedy , hip hop , slam poetry , and real-life stories to take on racial slurs , stereotypes and the concept of race itself . The show debuted in the Spring of 2004 , written and performed by three former UCLA students : Agustin ( the `` W '' ) , Gregley ( the `` N '' ) , and Axibal ( the `` C '' ) .

Allan Axibal first comes on stage neatly dressed as the `` model minority '' and gets the chant started . He is followed by Rafael Agustin dressed as a cholo in his bandana , muscle shirt and pleated pants , who expands on the chant . Lastly , Miles Gregley struts out in full pimp attire , complete with a feathered hat . As they chant racial slurs , they are able to captivate and amuse their audience .

The three actors have insisted `` their point was not to exacerbate racial tensions or divisions , but to drive home that there is only ONE race , the human race . The show traces the origins and evolution of three derogatory terms that shaped our lives . In doing this show we hope to de-power these words for ourselves and for our audiences . ''

neg: Columbia University rape controversy In April 2013 , Emma Sulkowicz , an American fourth-year visual arts major at Columbia University in New York City , filed a complaint with Columbia University requesting expulsion of fellow fourth-year student and German national , Paul Nungesser , alleging he had raped her in her dorm room on August 27 , 2012 . Nungesser was found not responsible by a university inquiry .   In May 2014 , Sulkowicz filed a report with the New York Police Department ( NYPD ) , but declined to pursue an investigation after Sulkowicz discovered the case could extend past her graduation , when she would probably want to `` erase all of -LSB- her -RSB- memories of Columbia '' . Sulkowicz further stated that NYPD officers `` badly mistreated '' her and `` were dismissive of what she had to say '' . The district attorney 's office interviewed Sulkowicz and Nungesser , but did not pursue charges , citing lack of reasonable suspicion .   Afterwards , Sulkowicz focused her senior thesis on a work of performance art entitled Mattress Performance ( Carry That Weight ) which involved Sulkowicz carrying a mattress wherever she went on campus in protest of what she describes as `` Columbia University 's mishandling of her sexual assault complaint '' . Nungesser called Sulkowicz 's allegations `` untrue and unfounded '' and described her mattress piece as an act of bullying intended to force him to leave Columbia .   In April 2015 , Nungesser filed a sexual discrimination lawsuit against Columbia , its board of trustees , its president Lee Bollinger , and Sulkowicz 's supervising art professor Jon Kessler , alleging their negligence in preventing his harassment .   In the complaint Nungesser states Sulkowicz 's allegation of rape is false and made in response to unreciprocated desire for a serious relationship therefore allowing the performance is harassment and a violation of his rights . District Court Judge Gregory H. Woods dismissed the lawsuit but allowed Nungesser to refile an amended suit .

neg: Creative participation Creative Participation is a term used in social sciences to describe the position of the observer towards the observed . Creative Participation - originally a Lucien Lévy-Bruhl term from the 1920s for analysing social relations of cultural groupings , modified and revived by the German ethnologist V. Dahlheimer - rewrites the traditional participant observation approach and leaves more room for non-materialistic cognition . Dynamic movements which can not be measured from disconnected or relative viewpoints can be captured by means of feelings . Verification of data through creative participation is possible through practical conception only and can at best be validated by empirical means . Creative Participation seeks to counteract classical problems in social science like i.e. rigid defense of theory , personal ambition , and weight of tradition which can lead to social and personal fragmentation .   In consumer psychology Creative Participation is defined as consumers ' co-creation of novel and valuable products , services , ideas , consumption experiences with firms during their purchase or consumption process . According to `` Need for Uniqueness '' - theory , one of consumers ' motivations for creative participation may come from their need for unique products . When consumers need to acquire the symbol of distinct self by unique products , they are driven to create .   Creative Participation is also used as an educational training method . It can breakdown barriers between participants ( and agencies ) , and encourage creative problem-solving , and the building of positive relationships .   In the political world Creative Participation presents the theory and practice of innovative forms of political participation , i.e. citizens cooperate in public action to achieve a common good .

NBC even sent a camera crew to Garland 's hospital room , where she was recuperating from the birth of her son , in order to conduct a live interview with her if she won . The win by Kelly instead famously prompted Groucho Marx to send Garland a telegram stating it was `` the biggest robbery since Brinks . ''   Given the period of its production , the film is notable for its realistic , frank dialogue and honest treatments of the surreptitious side of alcoholism and post-divorce misogyny .

Works in this genre may explore philosophical , political , or social issues . Some productions are noted for sophisticated and/or experimental storytelling and animation techniques .   Before the enforcement of the Hays Code , some cartoon shorts contained humor that was aimed at adult audience members rather than children . Following the introduction of the Motion Picture Association of America film rating system , independent animation producers attempted to establish an alternative to mainstream animation . Initially , few animation studios in the United States attempted to produce animation for adult audiences , but later examples of animation produced for adults would gain mainstream attention and success .

neg: Art film An art film is typically a serious , independent film aimed at a niche market rather than a mass market audience . An art film is `` intended to be a serious artistic work , often experimental and not designed for mass appeal '' ; they are `` made primarily for aesthetic reasons rather than commercial profit '' , and they contain `` unconventional or highly symbolic content '' .   Film critics and film studies scholars typically define an art film as possessing `` formal qualities that mark them as different from mainstream Hollywood films '' , which can include , among other elements , a sense of social realism ; an emphasis on the authorial expressiveness of the director ; and a focus on the thoughts , dreams , or motivations of characters , as opposed to the unfolding of a clear , goal-driven story . Film scholar David Bordwell describes art cinema as `` a film genre , with its own distinct conventions '' .   Art film producers usually present their films at specialty theatres ( repertory cinemas , or , in the U.S. , `` arthouse cinemas '' ) and film festivals . The term art film is much more widely used in the United States , the UK and Australia than in Europe , where the term is more associated with `` auteur '' films and `` national cinema '' ( e.g. , German national cinema ) . Because they are aimed at small niche market audiences , they can rarely get the financial backing that will permit large production budgets , expensive special effects , costly celebrity actors , or huge advertising campaigns , as are used in widely released mainstream blockbuster films . Art film directors make up for these constraints by creating a different type of film , which typically uses lesser-known film actors ( or even amateur actors ) and modest sets to make films that focus much more on developing ideas or exploring new narrative techniques or film-making conventions .   A certain degree of experience and knowledge are required to fully understand or appreciate such films . One mid-1990s art film was called `` largely a cerebral experience '' that one enjoys `` because of what you know about film '' . This contrasts sharply with mainstream `` blockbuster '' films , which are geared more towards escapism and pure entertainment . For promotion , art films rely on the publicity generated from film critics ' reviews , discussion of their film by arts columnists , commentators and bloggers , and `` word-of-mouth '' promotion by audience members . Since art films have small initial investment costs , they only need to appeal to a small portion of the mainstream viewing audiences to become financially viable .

neg: Inherently funny word Certain nonsense words may be inherently funny , according to a 2015 study published in the Journal of Memory and Language . The study 's lead author , Chris Westbury from the University of Alberta , suggests that the inherent humor of certain non-words can be explained by the property of entropy . Entropy , in this case , expresses how usual the letters in the word appear to be : the less commonly they are used , the lower the total entropy and the more funny they are likely to be found . According to Westbury , `` Some non-words are funny , and they 're weird when they are -LSB- ... -RSB- But there 's actually a consistent relationship between how funny they are and how weird they are '' .   The idea that humor can be predicted by a word 's entropy corresponds to the incongruity theory of 19th-century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer , who posited that humor is a product of one 's expectations being violated . According to Westbury , `` One reason puns are funny is that they violate our expectation that a word has one meaning '' .   The vaudeville lore that words with the letter k are funny is recorded by the playwright Neil Simon in his work The Sunshine Boys . In the play , which is about a pair of aging vaudeville comedians , the character Willie lectures his nephew about funny words :

neg: And Then... Along Comes the Association And Then ... Along Comes the Association is the debut studio album by the American sunshine pop band the Association , and was released on Valiant Records , in July 1966 ( see 1966 in music ) . It became one of the top selling LPs in America , peaking at number five , and remains the Association 's most successful album release , with the exception of their Greatest Hits compilation . The album 's success was primarily credited to the inclusion of their two U.S. hits `` Along Comes Mary '' and `` Cherish '' , which peaked at number seven and number one respectively on the Billboard Hot 100 , and were among the most-played songs on AM radio in 1966 .   The album was preceded by a few non-LP singles as the Association struggled to establish themselves a commercial presence . Moving from the Jubilee record label to Valiant Records , the group released a cover version of Bob Dylan 's `` One Too Many Mornings '' , which received attention from Curt Boettcher . Boettcher , who had previously worked with the folk rock group The GoldeBriars , and demoed `` Along Comes Mary '' with lead guitarist Jules Alexander , was brought in by the group to steer the Association in a pop rock musical direction . Aside from `` Along Comes Mary '' , the sessions with Boettcher provided the band with the song 's B-side , `` Your Own Love '' , and two other tracks that are featured on the album `` Remember '' and `` I 'll Be Your Man '' . The Association yielded some of the instrumental playing on And Then ... Along Comes the Association to top L.A. session musicians , including guitarist Mike Deasy ( who would continue to play on other Association albums ) , bassist Jerry Scheff , and percussionists Jim Troxel and Toxey French .   And Then ... Along Comes the Association saw the group experiment with luscious vocal harmonies that anticipated the musical textures of Bottecher 's later groups the Millennium and Sagittarius . In addition , the album incorporated a wide-assortment of influences , including folk rock , psychedelia , Baroque pop , and remains a cornerstone of sunshine pop . Along with the hit singles `` Along Comes Mary '' and `` Cherish '' , notable tracks on the album include the reflective `` Enter the Young '' and the Addrissi brothers ' `` Do n't Blame It on Me '' . The partnership between the Association and Boettcher -- while innovative and commercially successful -- was cut short after Boettcher began to overreach his authority in the group 's musical direction . For their sophomore effort , Renaissance , the Association recruited Jerry Yester to replace Boettcher as producer .

neg: My Aim Is True My Aim Is True is the debut album by English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello .   The album was recorded at Pathway Studios in Highbury , London Borough of Islington , over the course of 1976 during late-night studio sessions , in a total of approximately twenty-four hours . It was the first of five consecutive Costello albums produced by Nick Lowe and cost # 2,000 to record . The backing band was made up of members of Clover , but they were uncredited on the original release due to contractual difficulties ; some early publicity for the album identified the backing band as `` The Shamrocks '' .   In 1977 Rolling Stone magazine named the album one of the best of the year . In 2003 , the TV network VH1 named My Aim Is True the 80th greatest album of all time . In 2003 , the album was ranked number 168 on Rolling Stone magazine 's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time . In 2004 , it was ranked 37 of the top 100 albums of the 1970s by Pitchfork which reported the album to be `` held by many as the most impressive debut in pop music history . '' In 2007 , the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame .

neg: Midnight Rider `` Midnight Rider '' is a song by the American rock band the Allman Brothers Band . It was the second single from their second studio album , Idlewild South ( 1970 ) , released on Capricorn Records . The song was primarily written by vocalist Gregg Allman , who first began composing it at a rented cabin outside of Macon , Georgia . He enlisted the help of roadie Robert Kim Payne to complete the song 's lyrics . He and Payne broke into Capricorn Sound Studios to complete a demo of the song .   While the original Allman Brothers release of the song did not chart , `` Midnight Rider '' was much more successful in cover versions . Gregg Allman 's solo version of the song , released in 1973 , was its biggest chart success ; it was a top 20 hit in the U.S. and Canada . A cover by Jamaican singer , Paul Davidson , represented its biggest peak in the United Kingdom , where it hit number ten . Country artist Willie Nelson also recorded a version of the song that peaked at number six on U.S. country charts .

neg: Hot Space Hot Space is the tenth studio album by the British rock band Queen , released on 21 May 1982 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States . Marking a notable shift in direction from their earlier work , they employed many elements of disco , funk , rhythm and blues , dance and pop music on the album . This made the album less popular with fans who preferred the traditional rock style they had come to associate with the band . Queen 's decision to record a dance-oriented album germinated with the massive success in the US of their 1980 hit `` Another One Bites the Dust '' ( and to a lesser extent , the UK success of the song ) .   `` Under Pressure '' , Queen 's collaboration with David Bowie , was released in 1981 and became the band 's second # 1 hit in the UK . Though included on Hot Space , the song was a separate project and was recorded ahead of the album , before the controversy over Queen 's new disco-influenced rock sound . The album 's second single , `` Body Language '' , peaked at # 11 on the US charts . In July 2004 , Q magazine listed Hot Space as one of the top fifteen albums where great rock acts lost the plot . Most of the album was recorded in Munich during the most turbulent period in the band 's history , and Roger Taylor and Brian May despised the new sound , with both being very critical of the influence Freddie Mercury 's manager Paul Prenter had on the singer . Estimated sales of the album currently stand at 3.5 million copies .

neg: Master of Styles Master of Styles is the fifth studio album by alternative rock band The Urge . It was released in 1998 in cassette and CD format .

neg: Chillwave Chillwave ( originally called `` glo-fi '' or `` hypnagogic pop '' ; also `` dream-beat '' ) is a style of music characterized by a faded or dreamy retro pop sound , mellow vocals , a low-to-moderate tempo , escapist lyrics about the beach or summertime , psychedelic or lo-fi textures , effects processing ( reverb especially ) , vintage synthesizers , and other attempts to loosely emulate 1980s electronic pop aesthetics as well as engage with notions of memory and nostalgia . Sometimes regarded as a `` made-up '' genre , the movement 's vanguard was represented by Neon Indian , Washed Out , and Toro y Moi , who gained critical attention through what was termed the 2009 `` Summer of Chillwave '' .   Coinciding with the economic turmoil of the late 2000s and early 2010s recession , chillwave was one of the first music genres to develop by being linked and defined through various outlets on the Internet rather than geographic location . The style draws from elements in dream pop and shoegaze , as well as the work of artists such as Panda Bear , Animal Collective , and lo-fi musician Ariel Pink . The term `` hypnagogic pop '' was coined at virtually the same time as `` chillwave '' to describe similar artists . Other elements related to drug-induced mind states and idyllic summer fantasies were drawn from the Beach Boys ' Brian Wilson . Washed Out 's 2009 track `` Feel It All Around '' remains the genre 's definitive and best-known song .   The term `` chillwave '' , which originated from the satirical blog Hipster Runoff in 2009 , was ultimately criticized for being nebulous and contrived . Some artists rejected the tag , while hundreds of others exploited the style 's low-budget simplicity , one of the major reasons for its decline . Media coverage usually derided the genre 's name , its reliance on nostalgia , and the ubiquitous mention of `` the summer '' in its writings . After chillwave was the subject of much discourse on websites like Gorilla vs. Bear and Pitchfork , the movement dissipated , and the style effectively fell out of vogue . The Internet-based microgenre vaporwave would be inspired by chillwave .

neg: The Byrds' Greatest Hits The Byrds ' Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits album by the American rock band The Byrds and was released in August 1967 on Columbia Records ( see 1967 in music ) . It is the top-selling album in The Byrds ' catalogue and reached # 6 on the Billboard Top LPs chart but failed to break into the UK Albums Chart . The album provides a summary of The Byrds ' history during Gene Clark and David Crosby 's tenure with the band and also functions as a survey of the group 's hit singles from 1965 to 1967 , a period when the band had its greatest amount of success on the singles chart . Most of the band 's U.S. A-sides from this period are included on the album , along with three of their more important album tracks : `` I 'll Feel a Whole Lot Better '' , `` The Bells of Rhymney '' , and `` Chimes of Freedom '' . The three U.S. singles from this period that are not included on the album are `` Set You Free This Time '' , `` Have You Seen Her Face '' and `` Lady Friend '' ( although these songs have been included as bonus tracks on various CD reissues of the album ) . All of the songs included on the original Greatest Hits album can also be found on the band 's first four albums , Mr. Tambourine Man , Turn ! Turn ! Turn ! , Fifth Dimension and Younger Than Yesterday .   The eight tracks on The Byrds ' Greatest Hits that had been singles peaked at the following positions on the Billboard Hot 100 : `` 5D ( Fifth Dimension ) '' # 44 ; `` All I Really Want to Do '' # 40 ; `` Mr. Spaceman '' # 36 ; `` My Back Pages '' # 30 ; `` So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star '' # 29 ; `` Eight Miles High '' # 14 ; `` Turn ! Turn ! Turn ! '' # 1 ; and `` Mr. Tambourine Man '' # 1 . In addition , four of the singles included on the album had charted in the United Kingdom , peaking at the following positions on the UK Singles Chart : `` Turn ! Turn ! Turn ! '' # 26 ; `` Eight Miles High '' # 24 ; `` All I Really Want to Do '' # 4 ; and `` Mr. Tambourine Man '' # 1 . In particular , the `` Eight Miles High '' , `` Turn ! Turn ! Turn ! '' , and `` Mr. Tambourine Man '' singles were widely influential during the 1960s , a time when singles , at least in pop music , were as important in their own right as albums , and generally more so . `` Turn ! Turn ! Turn ! '' summed up the decade 's counter-cultural values as much as `` Blowin ' in the Wind '' , '' ( I Ca n't Get No ) Satisfaction '' or `` All You Need Is Love '' , while `` Mr. Tambourine Man '' and `` Eight Miles High '' helped to introduce the subgenres of folk rock and psychedelic rock respectively into the popular music of the day .


query: Minneapolis is just south of the Mississippi River's confluence with the Minnesota River.

pos: Minneapolis Minneapolis ( -LSB- mɪniˈæpəlɪs -RSB- ) is the county seat of Hennepin County , and the larger of the Twin Cities , the 16th-largest metropolitan area in the United States . As of 2015 , Minneapolis is the largest city in the state of Minnesota and 46th-largest in the United States with a population of 410,939 . Minneapolis and Saint Paul anchor the second-largest economic center in the Midwest , after Chicago .   Minneapolis lies on both banks of the Mississippi River , just north of the river 's confluence with the Minnesota River , and adjoins Saint Paul , the state 's capital . The city is abundantly rich in water , with thirteen lakes , wetlands , the Mississippi River , creeks and waterfalls , many connected by parkways in the Chain of Lakes and the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway . It was once the world 's flour milling capital and a hub for timber . The city and surrounding region is the primary business center between Chicago and Seattle , with Minneapolis proper containing America 's fifth-highest concentration of Fortune 500 companies . As an integral link to the global economy , Minneapolis is categorized as a global city . Noted for its strong music and performing arts scenes , Minneapolis is home to both the award-winning Guthrie Theater and the historic First Avenue nightclub . Reflecting the region 's status as an epicenter of folk , funk , and alternative rock music , the city served as the launching pad for several of the 20th century 's most influential musicians , including Bob Dylan and Prince .   The name Minneapolis is attributed to Charles Hoag , the city 's first schoolteacher , who combined mni , a Dakota Sioux word for water , and polis , the Greek word for city .

neg: South Dakota South Dakota ( -LSB- saʊθ_dəˈkoʊtə -RSB- -LSB- -LSB- ˌsɑʊθ dəˈko̞ɾə -RSB- -RSB- ) is a state located in the Midwestern region of the United States . It is named after the Lakota and Dakota Sioux Native American tribes , who compose a significant portion of the population and historically dominated the entire territory . South Dakota is the 17th most expansive , but the 5th least populous and the 5th least densely populated of the 50 United States . Once the southern portion of the Dakota Territory , South Dakota became a state on November 2 , 1889 , simultaneously with North Dakota . Pierre is the state capital and Sioux Falls , with a population of about 171,000 , is South Dakota 's largest city .   South Dakota is bordered by the states of North Dakota ( on the north ) , Minnesota ( to the east ) , Iowa ( to the southeast ) , Nebraska ( on the south ) , Wyoming ( on the west ) , and Montana ( to the northwest ) . The state is bisected by the Missouri River , dividing South Dakota into two geographically and socially distinct halves , known to residents as `` East River '' and `` West River '' . Eastern South Dakota is home to most of the state 's population , and fertile soil in this area is used to grow a variety of crops . West of the Missouri , ranching is the predominant agricultural activity , and the economy is more dependent on tourism and defense spending . Most of the Native American reservations are located in West River . The Black Hills , a group of low pine-covered mountains sacred to the Sioux , are located in the southwest part of the state . Mount Rushmore , a major tourist destination , is located there . South Dakota experiences a temperate continental climate , with four distinct seasons and precipitation ranging from moderate in the east to semi-arid in the west . The ecology of the state features species typical of a North American grassland biome .   Humans have inhabited the area for several millennia , with the Sioux becoming dominant by the early 19th century . In the late 19th century , European-American settlement intensified after a gold rush in the Black Hills and the construction of railroads from the east . Encroaching miners and settlers triggered a number of Indian wars , ending with the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890 . Key events in the 20th century included the Dust Bowl and Great Depression , increased federal spending during the 1940s and 50s for agriculture and defense , and an industrialization of agriculture that has much reduced family farming .   While several Democratic senators have represented South Dakota for multiple terms at the federal level , the state government is largely controlled by the Republican Party , whose nominees have carried South Dakota in each of the last 13 presidential elections . Historically dominated by an agricultural economy and a rural lifestyle , South Dakota has recently sought to diversify its economy in areas to attract and retain residents . South Dakota 's history and rural character still strongly influence the culture of the state .

neg: Kenilworth Trail The Kenilworth Trail is a paved bicycle trail in Minneapolis , Minnesota . It runs nearly 1.5 mi and acts as a connector between the Cedar Lake Trail in the north and the Midtown Greenway in the south . Like the Cedar Lake Trail , most of the route is composed of a triple-divided cycleway/pedway with a pair of one-way paths for bicycles and another path for pedestrians . According to the Minneapolis Bicyclist & Pedestrian Count Report from 2013 , 2100 bicyclists and 410 pedestrians are estimated to use the trail daily . On some maps , a southern segment of the Kenilworth Trail is called the Burnham Trail .   At its northern end , it is easy for westbound Cedar Lake Trail users to accidentally get on the Kenilworth Trail , since continuing on the Cedar Lake trail requires taking a right turn at a `` T '' intersection just south of Interstate 394 . Cyclists who miss the turn find themselves on the Kenilworth instead . In the south , the Kenilworth Trail entrance is only 0.1 mi east of where the Midtown Greenway ends and the Southwest LRT Trail ( now known as the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail ) begins . The trail only crosses two roads at grade level , the quiet West 21st Street and the busy Cedar Lake Parkway .   The trail runs adjacent to a freight railway line that was originally part of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway , but is now owned by the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority . The Twin Cities and Western Railroad currently operates freight trains on the rail line .

neg: I-35W Saint Anthony Falls Bridge The I-35W Saint Anthony Falls Bridge crosses the Saint Anthony Falls of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis , Minnesota in the U.S. , carrying north-south traffic on Interstate Highway 35W . The ten-lane bridge replaced the I-35W Mississippi River bridge , which collapsed on August 1 , 2007 . It was planned and is maintained by the Minnesota Department of Transportation ( Mn/DOT ) . The planning , design , and construction processes were completed faster than normal because Interstate 35W is a critical artery for commuters and truck freight . The bridge opened September 18 , 2008 , well ahead of the original goal of December 24 .

neg: Neighborhoods in Saint Paul, Minnesota Saint Paul , Minnesota is noted for its neighborhoods . The city has been called `` fifteen small towns with one mayor '' , owing to the neighborhood-based life of much of the city . Saint Paul is partially governed by not 15 but 17 City Districts .   On Saint Paul 's largely blue-collar East Side alone there are more than two dozen well-known , historically significant neighborhoods within four City Districts . District 4 , for example , has three historic neighborhoods : Dayton 's Bluff , Swede Hollow , and Mounds Park . The most populous districts , 2 and 5 , have more than a dozen neighborhoods between them .   While Saint Paul has long been recognized for its citizen activism , some neighborhoods receive more individual planning attention than others , because tax funds are doled out to annually elected volunteer neighborhood boards based on City District boundaries , not neighborhood boundaries . These boards are called District Councils .   The District Council system was established in 1975 to encourage grass-roots involvement . The Councils were also created to help spend federal funds through the recently created Community Development Block Grants . The District Councils share $ 1.2 million from the city of Saint Paul . In 2015 , community participation funds given to the District Councils ranged from $ 51,873 to $ 109,475 . The councils also have other revenue streams , such as grants and donations . Most councils have significant power on land-use issues .   Besides providing advisory recommendations to city officials on development issues , district councils also identify neighborhood needs , initiate community programs and recruit and nurture neighborhood leaders and volunteers .

neg: Mississippi River System The Mississippi River System , also referred to as the Western Rivers , is a mostly riverine network of the United States which includes the Mississippi River and connecting waterways . The Mississippi River is the largest drainage basin in the United States . In the United States , the Mississippi drains about forty-one percent of the country 's rivers .   From the perspective of natural geography and hydrology , the system consists of the Mississippi River itself and its numerous natural tributaries and distributaries . The major tributaries are the Arkansas , Illinois , Missouri , Ohio and Red rivers . Given their flow volumes , major Ohio River tributaries like the Allegheny , Tennessee , and Wabash rivers are considered important tributaries to the Mississippi system . Before the Mississippi River reaches the Gulf of Mexico , it runs into its distributary , the Atchafalaya River .   From the perspective of modern commercial navigation , the system includes the above as well as navigable inland waterways which are connected by artificial means . Important connecting waterways include the Illinois Waterway , the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway , and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway . This system of waterways is maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with a project depth of between 9 and 12 feet ( 2.7 -- 3.7 m ) to accommodate barge transportation , primarily of bulk commodities .   The Mississippi River carries 60 % of U.S grain shipments , 22 % of oil and gas shipments , and 20 % of coal .

neg: Stone Arch Bridge (Minneapolis) The Stone Arch Bridge is a former railroad bridge crossing the Mississippi River at Saint Anthony Falls in downtown Minneapolis , Minnesota . It is the only arched bridge made of stone on the entire length of Mississippi River , and also the second oldest next to Eads Bridge . The bridge was built to connect the railway system to the new Union Depot , which at that time was planned to be built between Hennepin Avenue and Nicollet Avenue . The bridge was completed on 1883 , costing an amazing sum of $ 650,000 during the time ( $ today ) . 117 Portland Avenue is the general address of the historic complex .   For a time , the bridge was dubbed `` Hill 's Folly '' until the value of Hill 's new bridge as a passenger rail link became evident .   Positioned between the 3rd Avenue Bridge and the I-35W Saint Anthony Falls Bridge , the Stone Arch Bridge was built in 1883 by railroad tycoon James J. Hill for his Great Northern Railway , and accessed the former passenger station located about a mile to the west , on the west bank of the river . The structure is now used as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge . It is an Historic Civil Engineering Landmark , and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 as a part of the Saint Anthony Falls Historic District , ( District # 71000438 ) .

neg: Hay Creek (Mississippi River) Hay Creek is a small trout stream in southeastern Minnesota . It has its headwaters west of Goodhue and empties into the Big River which then empties into the Mississippi River just upstream of Red Wing . It runs 25.1 mi , over half of which is a Minnesota designated trout stream . Like the Vermillion River , Hay Creek receives extensive fishing pressure due to its proximity to Minneapolis -- St. Paul .   Hay Creek was named for the hay meadows near its banks . A railroad once ran along Hay Creek from the claybanks near Goodhue to the pottery and stoneware factories in Red Wing , which also made use of the water from the creek . The railroad was torn up in 1937 , but traces such as trestle pilings remain .

neg: Illinois Illinois ( -LSB- ɪlᵻˈnɔɪ -RSB- ) is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States , achieving statehood in 1818 . It is the 6th-most populous state and 25th-largest state in terms of land area , and is noted as a microcosm of the entire country . The word `` Illinois '' comes from a French rendering of a native Algonquin word . With Chicago in the northeast , small industrial cities and great agricultural productivity in central and northern Illinois , and natural resources like coal , timber , and petroleum in the south , Illinois has a diverse economic base and is a major transportation hub . The Port of Chicago connects the state to other global ports from the Great Lakes , via the Saint Lawrence Seaway , to the Atlantic Ocean , as well as the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River , via the Illinois Waterway . For decades , O'Hare International Airport has been ranked as one of the world 's busiest airports . Illinois has long had a reputation as a bellwether both in social and cultural terms and politics .   Although today the state 's largest population center is around Chicago in the northern part of the state , the state 's European population grew first in the west , with French Canadian colonists who settled along the Mississippi River in the 17th and 18th century , and gave the area the name , `` Pays des Illinois '' or Illinois Country a region that was known as part of New France . After the American Revolutionary War established the United States , American settlers began arriving crossing the Appalachians barrier range in the 1810s via the gaps of the Allegheny to boat building centers in Pittsburgh , from Cumberland , Maryland via the Cumberland Narrows pass to outfit in Brownsville , Pennsylvania , from North Carolina and Virginia via the Cumberland Gap to Kentucky and Tennessee , all on the Ohio River .   With the War of 1812 , the growth of Illinois slowed as both Native Americans and Canadian forces often raided the American Frontier . After the war 's end , the federal government re-established forts such as Fort Dearborn ( in 1816 -- now the site is within Chicago ) and army patrols west of the Mississippi diminished the threat from Amerindian raids , so settlers were able to move into all of Illinois from the eastern and southern emigrant trails .   Mineral finds and timber stands also had spurred immigration -- by the 1810s , the Eastern U.S. had exhausted most timber stands close to the established cities creating a hard felt first energy crisis by the late-1790s , and after 1818 , the industrial revolution was being fueled by new canals such as the Lehigh Canal feeding the furnaces of the rapidly industrializing east coast . Also in 1818 , Illinois achieved statehood and its growth , as yet untroubled by the speed of as yet unrefined railway technology , would be fueled by the new religion of industrialized forward thinking .   After construction of the Erie Canal with increasing traffic and trade through the Great Lakes , Chicago was founded in the 1830s on the banks of the Chicago River , at one of the few natural harbors on southern Lake Michigan . John Deere 's invention of the self-scouring steel plow turned Illinois ' rich prairie into some of the world 's most productive and valuable farmlands , attracting new immigrant farmers from Germany and Sweden . Railroads arose and matured in the 1840s , and soon carried immigrants to new homes in Illinois , as well as being a resource to ship their commodity crops out to markets . Railroads freed most of the land of Illinois and other mid-western states from the tyranny of water transport ; no longer was a location near a river or canal a need to ship bulk goods .   By 1900 , the growth of industrial jobs in the northern cities and coal mining in the central and southern areas attracted a new group of immigrants , from Eastern and Southern Europe . Illinois was an important manufacturing center during both world wars . The Great Migration from the South established a large community of African Americans in Chicago , who created the city 's famous jazz and blues cultures .   Three U.S. presidents have been elected while living in Illinois : Abraham Lincoln , Ulysses S. Grant , and most recently Barack Obama . Additionally , Ronald Reagan , whose political career was based in California , was the only U.S. president born and raised in Illinois . Today , Illinois honors Lincoln with its official state nickname `` The Land of Lincoln , '' which has been displayed on its license plates since 1954 . The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is located in the state capital of Springfield , and the Barack Obama Presidential Center will be completed in Chicago by 2020 .
