Steam radiator too hot!!! Help!!

I have steam radiators and one of them is constantly running. I have been able to turn down the others but I am hoping to get some help on how I can fix this problem. On one end, the is a valve with a little knob on the bottom which is supposed to control how much steam comes out(I think). This does not seem to work since I have turned it completely both ways and it still works at full force. At the other end where the pipe goes into the floor, there is steam coming out of another valve. I am not sure if this is supposed to happen or not.(I would think not, since it is hot!!) I am wondering if this is a quick fix of just changing a valve or if it more involved. Any thoughts?

Thanks
