#3 Santa Clara Pueblo Flash Flooding Night Time 20 July 2013
Flash flooding can appear day or night to the unwary and unprepared. Luckily temporary sand bagging and placement of concrete barriers contained the rushing water within the flow channel. Debris and ash are pushed in front the water crest and slam against anything in its path. Debris and water nearly flow over the south end of the Kee Street Bridge and push up 3 inch metal conduit, housing communication cable along the side of the bridge.

The Wild & Scenic Rio Grande River is the lifeblood of New Mexico. But for Tesuque Pueblo member Louie Hena and his family, the river is more than an office, more than a provider, it is home.

Aamodt Water Settlement - Public Outreach Meeting
The Federal Court in the Aamodt water rights adjudication case has issued a Notice and Order to Show Cause setting a deadline of April 7, 2014 for water users in the Nambe/Pojoaque/Tesuque areas to object to the Settlement Agreement and Proposed Decrees of the Pueblo water rights. Those not objecting to the proposed settlement may also begin making elections regarding domestic water rights. The Court has not yet set a deadline for making domestic well elections. As a result, water rights owners who do not want to object to the settlement or decrees do not have to file anything by April 7, 2014 and can wait to make their well elections once the Court sets a deadline for those filings.
Santa Fe County will be sponsoring public meetings and workshops to go over the Settlement Agreement and to help provide information. With the help of the other Settling Parties, the County will hold two public meetings. For those who want additional information, the County will also schedule smaller workshops and individual office hours.
Background Information
Congress enacted the Aamodt settlement Act at the end of 2010. Since that time the Settlement Parties have worked to implement the settlement. On April 10, 2012, the Santa Fe County Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution 2012-53 authorizing the proposed amendments to the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement and Cost-Sharing Agreement were signed by the United States, the Pueblos, the State, the County and the City in March 2013.

SUMMARY
=======
The Viceroyalty of New Spain (Spanish: Virreinato de Nueva España [birei̯ˈnato ðe ˈnweβa esˈpaɲa]) was an integral territorial entity of the Spanish Empire, established by Habsburg Spain during the Spanish colonization of the Americas. It covered a huge area that included territories in North America, Central America, Asia and Oceania. It originated after the fall of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, the main event of the Spanish conquest, which did not properly end until much later, as its territory continued to grow to the north. It was officially created on 8 March 1535 as a viceroyalty (Spanish: virreinato), the first of four viceroyalties Spain created in the Americas. Its first viceroy was Antonio de Mendoza y Pacheco, and the capital of the viceroyalty was Mexico City, established on the ancient Mexico-Tenochtitlan.
It included what is now Mexico plus the current U.S. states of California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Florida and parts of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana; as well as the southwestern part of British Columbia of present-day Canada; plus the Captaincy General of Guatemala (which included the current countries of Guatemala, the Mexican state of Chiapas, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua); the Captaincy General of Cuba (current Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago and Guadeloupe); and the Captaincy General of the Philippines (including the Philippines, Guam, the Caroline Islands, the Mariana Islands and the short lived Spanish Formosa in modern day northern Taiwan).
The political organization divided the viceroyalty into kingdoms and captaincies general. The kingdoms were those of New Spain (different from the viceroyalty itself); Nueva Galicia (1530); Captaincy General of Guatemala (1540); Nueva Vizcaya (1562); New Kingdom of León (1569); Santa Fe de Nuevo México (1598); Nueva Extremadura (1674) and Nuevo Santander (1746). There were four captaincies: Captaincy General of the Philippines (1574), Captaincy General of Cuba, Captaincy General of Puerto Rico and Captaincy General of Santo Domingo. These territorial subdivisions had a governor and captain general (who in New Spain was the viceroy himself, who added this title to his other dignities). In Guatemala, Santo Domingo and Nueva Galicia, these officials were called presiding governors, since they were leading real audiences. For this reason, these hearings were considered praetorial.
There were two great estates. The most important was the Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca, property of Hernán Cortés and his descendants that included a set of vast territories where marquises had civil and criminal jurisdiction, and the right to grant land, water and forests and within which were their main possessions (cattle ranches, agricultural work, sugar mills, fulling houses and shipyards). The other estate was the Duchy of Atlixco, granted in 1708, by King Philip V to José Sarmiento de Valladares, former viceroy of New Spain and married to the Countess of Moctezuma, with civil and criminal jurisdiction over Atlixco, Tepeaca, Guachinango, Ixtepeji and Tula de Allende. King Charles III introduced reforms in the organization of the viceroyalty in 1786, known as Bourbon reforms, which created the intendencias, which allowed to limit, in some way, the viceroy's attributions.
New Spain developed highly regional divisions, reflecting the impact of climate, topography, indigenous populations, and mineral resources. The areas of central and southern Mexico had dense indigenous populations with complex social, political, and economic organization. The northern area of Mexico, a region of nomadic and semi-nomadic indigenous populations, was not generally conducive to dense settlements, but the discovery of silver in Zacatecas in the 1540s drew settlement there to exploit the mines. Silver mining not only became ...
1920's 16MM FILM OF THE PUEBLO INDIANS & TAOS PEUBLO, NM, THE FRED HARVEY COMPANY
This 16mm film is part of a series of films shot about 1925 or so. This film takes place in New Mexico around Raton, Taos and the Taos Pueblo area as well as other ancient Indian village ruins in the area. This appears to be filmed by someone taking part in one of Fred Harvey Companies Indian Tours. Toward the end it appears that a skull is being unearthed and a very short segment of an Indian dressed as maybe a Chief would.
The film itself is a little rough but given it's age and storage conditions we are fortunate to have anything at all.
All of the video content in this production is the property of the Office of Image Archaeology.

Adrienne Lowry's Interview
Adrienne Lowry arrived at Los Alamos in 1942 after her husband, radiochemist and co-discoverer of plutonium, Joseph Kennedy, was selected by J. Robert Oppenheimer to lead the chemistry division at Los Alamos. Lowry recalls the early days of the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, when construction was just beginning and housing remained scarce for many of the workers who had just arrived. Prior to the birth of her first child, Lowry helped carry mail between Los Alamos and Santa Fe. She recalls meeting many of the famous scientists who worked on the bomb, including Hans Bethe, Enrico Fermi, Art Wahl, Glenn Seaborg, and Oppenheimer. When Arthur Compton offered Joseph Kennedy a position as the chair of the chemistry department at Washington University after the War, Lowry and her husband moved to St. Louis.

SUMMARY
=======
Speed limits in the United States vary depending on jurisdiction, with 75 to 80 mph (120 to 130 km/h) common in the Western United States and 65 to 75 mph (100 to 120 km/h) common in the Eastern United States. States may also set special speed limits for trucks and night travel along with minimum speed limits. The highest speed limit in the country is 85 mph (140 km/h), which is posted on a single stretch of tollway in rural Texas.
