A little about
Mobile, Alabama
The settlement was first established in 1702, at
Twenty-seven Mile Bluff on the Mobile River, as the capital of the French
colony of Louisiana. Following a series of floods, the town was relocated downriver
to its present location near the head of Mobile Bay in 1711. The capital
of Louisiana was moved to New Orleans in 1723 and Mobile was relegated
to the role of frontier town and trading post.
Mobile was transferred to the British in 1763 as a result
of the Treaty of Paris. The immediate British enforcement of race codes threw
the denizens of the French-derived culture into chaos. The French Creole world
was noted for its laissez-faire attitude to racial matters and the stringent English
codes chased many of Mobile's Creole residents westward into Louisiana.
It also marked a slight cultural division point between Mobile and the
rest of the French-founded coast.
The port town was captured by the Spanish in 1780 during the
American Revolutionary War. The Spanish held Mobile until 1814 when it
was captured by the American General Wilkinson; by then it was the second largest
seaport on the Gulf Coast.
The Cotton Boom of the early 19th century brought an explosion
of commerce to what had been a sleepy frontier town. By the 1850s, Mobile
was one of the 4 busiest ports in the country.
In another note of differentiation between the somewhat cosmopolitan
port and the hinterlands of predominantly Protestant Alabama, Mobile was
declared an archdiocese of the Catholic Church in this same period. In 1830, the
Jesuit Order of the Catholic Church founded Spring Hill College, one of the oldest
Catholic schools in the country.
One incident of some historical interest occurred in 1860, when
the Clotilde, the last known ship to arrive in the Americas with a cargo of slaves,
was abandoned by its captain near Mobile. A number of the slaves escaped
and formed their own community on the banks of the Mobile River, which
became known as Africatown. The inhabitants of this community retained their African
customs and language well into the 20th century.
Mobile grew substantially in the period leading up to
the American Civil War when it was heavily fortified and held by the Confederates.
Union naval forces established a blockade under the command of Admiral David Farragut.
Farragut did not attack Mobile until August 1864. The ensuing Battle of
Mobile Bay was a Union victory but Mobile held out for another nine
months. During the later federal occupation of Mobile, in May, 1865, an
ammunition depot explosion -- called the great Mobile magazine explosion
-- killed some 300 people.
After the war, the harbor was substantially improved and deepened,
and ship-building became a notable industry.
During World War II, the port town predictably livened up. Industry
accelerated with the increase in ship-building. Workers from outlying areas moved
into Mobile to fill jobs on the waterfront and many stayed after the war's
conclusion.
In the post-War years, the Brookley Air Base was built in Mobile.
The phenomenal influx of workers from the surrounding rural areas expanded the
population in leaps and bounds. By 1956, Mobile's square mileage had tripled
to accommodate the growth. Brookley's closure in the mid-1960s sent economic tremors
through the area which took many years to absorb.
In 1964, the University of South Alabama opened its doors and
its tremendous impact on the community and economy was deeply felt in a variety
of sectors.
Mobile's seafood industry rose to a position of note
for a while, with Mobile Bay oysters acclaimed far and wide, but this waned
almost to the point of extinction in the last quarter of the 20th century. A few
shrimpers still hang on in the South Mobile County fishing village of Bayou
La Batre, immortalized in the book and film Forrest Gump, but their future appears
uncertain.
Four members of the Baseball Hall of Fame were born in Mobile:
Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey, Satchel Paige and Ozzie Smith.
Notable yearly activities that take place in Mobile include
the Senior Bowl, Mardi Gras (the oldest in the country), the GMAC Bowl, the Azalea
Trail Run, and the Junior Miss Pageant.
The eastern shore of Mobile Bay periodically experiences
a unique phenomenon called a Jubilee. A jubilee, which usually takes place in
the wee hours of warm nights, describes a massive upsurge of sea life from the
bottom of the bay. This phenomenon has also been observed in a similar bay in
Japan and is believed to be caused by low oxygen levels in the water. This upsurge
to the surface usually consists of crabs, shrimp, flounder and other sea delicacies.
Needless to say, a jubilee, when first realized, is quickly spread by word of
mouth along the coast, providing an impromptu fishing party in the middle of the
night.
On November 10th 1993 Mobile formally twinned with the
Japanese city of Ichihara, Chiba prefecture.

" Did You Know? "
• 90% of corporate memory exists on paper.
• Of pages that get handled in the office, 90% are
merely shuffled.
• The average document gets copied 19 times.
• Companies spend $20.00 in labor to file a document. $ 120.00
in labor to find a misfiled document, and $ 220.00 in labor to produce a lost
document.
• 7.5 % of all documents get lost, 3 % of the remainder get
misfiled.
• Professionals spend 5-15 % of their time reading information
but 50 % looking for it.
• 4 Trillion paper documents are in the US alone, growing
at a rate of 22 % per year.
Typical document
management systems have the user scan in the original paper document, and store
the image of the document in the document management system. The image is often
given a name containing the date and the user is often asked to type in additional
"tags" in order to make finding the image easier.
Slightly more advanced
versions also perform an OCR on the image, storing the text along with the image.
Although most OCR systems are notoriously inaccurate, even a few correct words
scanned off the page can eliminate the need for the user to type in their own
tags.
Once the document is stored,
it is typically retrieved using an application that is aware of the way the tags
(or scanned text) and image are related. That way when you search for "invoice",
opening the document will in fact open the original image.
Document management systems
can save a tremendous amount of time, even in cases with small numbers of documents,
like home bill payment or personal tax preparation. It is somewhat odd that they
aren't more widely used, but some of this is likely the fault of the scanning
step. Many systems include their own high-speed black and white scanner to make
this step as easy as possible, or can incorporate existing office MFPs.
Storing electronic
documents is somewhat different but follows the same principle. Here, every kind
of internal documentation of somebody (typically a company or corporation) is
both written and stored electronically. Printed copies of documents need not even
be produced, and documents may be electronically signed.
Electronic document management
systems typically include a workflow model for certifying and electronically signing
documents.
Electronic document management
systems can be extended to support requirements under the HIPAA (Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) and Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by
addition of digital rights management controls including real-time network/application/file
monitoring and policy control. This gives auditors, administrators and directors
documented evidence of internal controls that communicate, store, and protect
documents and allows unalterable logs or databases of who has accessed which pieces
of information, where and when. It also gives fine-grained control of who can
access, view, print or forward any particular document or group of documents.

transfer the data to a CD which contains images of all pages of each individual
file. The CD can be read in a CD-ROM drive, saved to a computer hard drive, or
hosted on a network. If you have a network, everybody can access the same data
at the same time.
Q: What happens after
all the old stuff is on CD? We are making new files and adding paperwork everyday.
Won't there be a gap?

Huntsville
is named after John Hunt, the first Anglo-Saxon owner of the land around Big Spring.
However Hunt did not properly register his claim, which was later sold to Leroy
Pope, who imposed the name Twickenham on the area to honor the home city of his
relative Alexander Pope. The name was later changed to Huntsville to honor Hunt.
In 1811, Huntsville was the first incorporated town in Alabama. However, the recognized
"birth" year of the city is 1805, since the sesquentennial anniversiary
was held in 1955 and the bicentennial is scheduled for 2005.
Twickenham is the city's
only Historical District and features homes in the Federal and Greek Revival architectural
styles which were introduced to the city by Virginia-born architect George Steele
ca. 1818, and has the most dense concentration of antebellum homes in Alabama.
The 1819 Weeden House Museum, is open to the public, as are others in the area.
Huntsville's quick growth
was from wealth generated by the cotton industry. In 1819, Huntsville hosted a
constitutional convention in Walker Allen's large cabinetmaking shop, and forty-four
delegates wrote a constitution for the state of Alabama. Huntsville was Alabama's
first capital when it was admitted to the union; the capital was moved to Cahawba
in 1820.
In 1855, the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad was constructed through Huntsville. On April 11, 1862 During
the American Civil War, Union troops led by General Mitchell seized Huntsville
to sever the Confederate's railroad communications. Union troops then used Huntsville
as a base for operations in the area.
After the Civil War, Huntsville
became a center for cotton textile mills such as Lincoln and Merrimack. Several
of Huntsville's earliest neighborhoods were built to house mill workers.
By 1940, Huntsville was
still a small town with a population of only 13,150, which changed at the onset
of World War II when Huntsville was chosen as the site of several military manufacturing
plants. The plants were almost shut down in 1949 when they were no longer needed,
but instead, the military used the area for missile research. In 1950, the military
brought German rocket scientist Wernher von Braun and his colleagues to Huntsville's
Redstone Arsenal to work on the United States' fledgling space program.
Historic rockets in Rocket Park of the US Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville,
Alabama.On September 8, 1960, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower formally dedicated
the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville (NASA had already activated the
facility on July 1).
Huntsville is home to the
Redstone Arsenal and the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, and is nicknamed "the
Rocket City," because of its history with U.S. space missions. Huntsville
has been important in developing space technology since the 1950s, when a group
of German scientists headed by Dr. Wernher von Braun were brought to the United
States through Operation Paperclip and developed rockets for the U.S Army. Their
work included designing the Redstone ballistic missile, a variant of which, the
Jupiter-C, carried the U.S. first satellite and astronauts into space. The Saturn
V, was utilized by the Apollo program manned moon missions and was developed from
the Redstone. Huntsville continues to play an important role in the United States'
space shuttle and International Space Station programs; it is estimated that 1
in 13 of Huntsville's population are employed in some engineering line of work.
Huntsville is also the
location of the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM). Huntsville's contributions
to United States Cold War missile armament and technology earned it a "red
star" designation as a target of the Soviet Union in the event of a nuclear
exchange, fourth behind only New York City, Washington, DC, and NORAD.
Before Huntsville earned
the moniker "Rocket City" and accompanying rapid growth, it was known
as the Watercress Capital of the World, because watercress was harvested in such
abundance in the area.
As of the
census2 of 2000, there were 158,216 people, 66,742 households, and 41,713 families
residing in the city. The population density was 351.0/km² (909.0/mi²).
There were 73,670 housing units at an average density of 163.4/km² (423.3/mi²).
The racial makeup of the city was 64.47% White, 30.21% Black or African American,
0.54% Native American, 2.22% Asian, 0.06% Pacific Islander, 0.66% from other races,
and 1.84% from two or more races. 2.04% of the population are Hispanic or Latino
of any race.
