The Progressive Era (1895–1914) Review Questions for AP U.S. History
Summary: Progressivism began in the 1890s as a movement that attacked the political, social, and political inequalities of the age. Many progressives blamed capitalism for the evils of society. However, unlike the Socialists, who wanted destroy the capitalist system, the progressives wanted to fix that system. Many progressives were tied to the Social Gospel movement of the Protestant church; others wanted to reform city governments, while still others desired to instill even more democracy in the electoral process (direct primaries, more use of the referendum, etc.). Many progressives launched projects to aid the immigrant population that existed in America's cities. One example was Hull House, a settlement house that aided Chicago's poor. The high point of the progressive movement was the "Square Deal" of the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. Progressives did much to reform America's cities but were less effective in aiding America's farmers and minorities.
Social Gospel movement: movement originating in the Protestant church that aimed to help the urban poor; many progressives were influenced by this movement.
Muckrakers: writers who exposed unethical practices in both government and business during this era; newspaper editors discovered that these types of stories increased circulation.
Seventeenth Amendment (1913): U.S. Constitutional amendment that allowed voters instead of state legislatures to elect U.S. senators; this amendment had been championed by progressives.
Initiative process: this progressive-supported process allowed any citizen to propose a law. If enough supporters' signatures could be procured, the proposed law would appear on the next ballot.
Referendum process: this process allowed citizens (instead of legislatures) to vote on proposed laws.
Recall process: this process allowed voters to remove an elected official from office before his or her term expired.
Direct primary: this process allowed party members to vote for prospective candidates; previously most had been chosen by party bosses.
Hull House: Settlement house in Chicago founded by Jane Addams; Hull House became a model for settlement houses around the country.
National American Woman Suffrage Association: created in 1890 by a merger of two woman suffrage organizations and led in its early years by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony; was instrumental in demanding women's right to vote.
Triangle Shirtwaist Fire (1911): fire in New York City that killed 150 female factory workers. It was later found that the workers had been locked into the factory; as a result, many factory reforms were enacted.
The Jungle: Novel written by Upton Sinclair that highlighted numerous problems of the meat-packing industry and inspired the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act.
The Origins of Progressivism
It should be emphasized that progressivism was not a unified movement in any way. There was never a unifying agenda or party; many "progressives" eagerly supported one or two progressive reforms without supporting any others. Thus, progressive reforms could be urban or rural, call for more government or less government, and on occasion could even be perceived as being pro-business.
Progressivism has many sources of origin. Books such as Progress and Poverty by Henry George and Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy were read by most early progressives. Taylorism influenced many progressives; many felt that the efficiency that Taylor proposed for American industry could also be installed in American government, schools, and even in one's everyday life.
Progressive reforms also shared some of the same critiques of society that American socialists were making at the time. Progressives and socialists both were very critical of capitalism and wanted more wealth to get into the hands of the poor working class. However, as stated previously, progressives were interested in reforming the capitalist system, while American socialists wanted to end capitalism (by this point, by the ballot box). It should be noted that many progressive reformers had knowledge of socialism, some attended socialist meetings at some point in their careers, and a few progressives remained socialists throughout their careers. Upton Sinclair, author of The Jungle, was both a progressive and a socialist.
Progressivism was also influenced by religious developments of the era. During this era, the Social Gospel movement flourished; this movement had its origin in Protestant efforts to aid the urban poor. The Social Gospel movement emphasized the elements of Christianity that emphasized the need to struggle for social justice; followers stated that this fight was much more important than the struggle to lead a "good life" on a personal level. Many progressive leaders (such as Jane Addams) had grown up in very religious homes and found in progressive politics a place where they could put their religious beliefs into action. The Social Gospel movement was strictly a Protestant movement.
Finally, progressives were deeply impacted by the muckrakers. Newspaper editors discovered that articles that exposed corruption increased circulation, and thus exposés of unethical practices in political life and business life became common in most newspapers. The term muckrakers was used in a negative way by Theodore Roosevelt, but writers using that title exposed much corruption in American society. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair attacked the excesses of the meatpacking industry. Ida Tarbell wrote of the corruption she found in the Standard Oil Trust company, while Lincoln Steffens exposed political corruption found in several American cities in The Shame of the Cities. Jacob Riis exposed life in the slums in How the Other Half Lives. Progressives wanted to act on the evils of society uncovered by the muckrakers.
The Goals of Progressives
The fact that many in the progressive movement were from the middle class greatly influenced the goals of progressivism. Progressives wanted to improve the life experienced by members of the lower classes; at the same time, most desired that the nature and pace of this improvement be dictated by them and not the workers themselves. Progressives greatly feared the potential for revolution found in socialist and anarchist writings of the era; they proposed a series of gradual reforms. Progressives, as stated previously, wanted to make existing institutions work better. Factories, they felt, could be changed so that they would be concerned with the quality of life of their workers; governments could be altered so that they would act as protectors of the lower classes.
It should be noted that progressive goals and programs were not universally popular. Progressive programs for the betterment of the poor oftentimes meant that the government would have more control over their lives; many in the lower class were vehemently opposed to this. In addition, progressives wanted to crack down on urban political machines, which in many cases did much to aid the lives and conditions of the lower classes. As a result, the very people whom progressive reforms were designed to help were oftentimes resentful of these reforms.
Historians debate the overall intent of the progressive movement. Some maintain that social reformers of the era wanted to protect Americans from the evils of contemporary society. Others maintain that the real goal of progressivism was to control Americans so that they could be functioning members of that society.
Urban Reforms
Many of the early successes of progressivism were actions taken against urban political machines. Yet again, some reforms supported by progressives put more power in the hands of those machines. Certain "reform mayors," such as Tom Johnson in Cleveland and Mark Fagan in Jersey City, were legitimately interested in improving the living and working conditions of the lower classes and improving education. In cities such as Cleveland, municipal utilities were taken over by the city to provide more efficient service. Some reform mayors also pushed citywide relief programs and established shelters for the homeless.
Other progressive reformers wanted to professionalize the administrations of various cities and to enact measures so that mere "political hacks" could not get municipal jobs. It should be noted that some of these reforms appeared to be antidemocratic in nature. By attacking the system of political machines and ward politics, reformers were attacking a system that had given a degree of assistance and influence to the urban working classes. The new "professionals" who reformers envisioned getting municipals jobs would be almost exclusively from the middle class, the same class as the reformers themselves.
The Progressives at the State Level
It was at the state level that some of the most important political work of the progressives took place. Governors Robert La Follette from Wisconsin and Hiram Johnson from California introduced reforms in their states that would allow citizens to have a more direct role in the political process. These reforms included the following:
- The adoption of the Seventeenth Amendment. Finally adopted in 1913, it allowed voters, instead of the state legislatures, to directly elect United States senators.
- The adoption of the initiative process. This initiative allowed a citizen to propose a new law. If he or she got enough signatures, the proposed law would appear on the next ballot.
- The adoption of the referendum process. Referendum allowed citizens to vote on a law that was being considered for adoption.
- The adoption of the recall process, which allowed the voters to remove an elected official from office before his or her term was up.
- The adoption of the direct primary, which allowed party members to vote for prospective candidates instead of having them handpicked by the party boss.
Women and Progressivism
Women played a major role in progressivism from the very beginning. In 1899, Florence Kelley founded the National Consumers League, an organization made up largely of women that lobbied at the state and national level for legislation that would protect both women and children at home and in the workplace. Minimum wage laws for women were enacted in various states beginning in 1911; more stringent child labor laws began to be enacted in the states one year later.
Women also played a crucial role in the creation of settlement houses. In 1889, Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr founded Hull House in Chicago, which would become a model for settlement house construction in other cities. Found at Hull House (and at many other centers) were clubs for adults and children, rooms for classes, and a kindergarten. Settlement house workers also gave poor and immigrant women (and their husbands) advice on countless problems that they encountered in the city. Some settlement houses were more successful than others in actually helping lower-class families cope with urban life. Programs at settlement houses were multidimensional, stressing art, music, drama, and dance. Classes in child care, health education, and adult literacy could be found at most settlement houses.
Women differed greatly on how they felt the urban poor could be helped. Some pushed heavily for reforms in the workplace, while others joined organizations such as the AntiSaloon League, whose members felt that alcohol was the major cause for the woes of the lower classes. Still others became deeply involved in the suffrage movement, oftentimes attempting to get lower-class women interested in the vote as well. Women started to get the vote in individual western states beginning with Idaho, Colorado, and Utah in the 1890s. In 1890, the National American Woman Suffrage Association was created by a merger of two woman suffrage groups. It was led in its early years by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. In 1916, Alice Paul founded the more radical National Woman's Party. Both organizations would be crucial in the final push for woman's suffrage after World War I.
In addition, during this era, women in public meetings first began to discuss the topic of feminism. The word was first used by a group of women meeting in New York City in 1914. Feminists wanted to remove themselves from the restraints that society had placed on them because they were female. A radical feminist of the time was Margaret Sanger, who as a nurse in New York City observed the lack of knowledge that immigrant women had about the reproductive system. Sanger devoted herself to teaching the poor about birth control and opened the first birth control clinic in the United States.
Some laws were passed in the era to protect working women. In Muller v. Oregon, a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court in 1908, it was ruled constitutional to set limits on the number of hours a woman could work. The rationale given for this, which the Court agreed with, was that too much work would interfere with a woman's prime role as a mother.
Reforming the Workplace
Horrible events such as the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire convinced many progressives to push for reforms of safety and health conditions in factories. Progressives lobbied hard for the creation of accident insurance programs for workers in New York and elsewhere. From 1910 to 1917, many states adopted legislation that would help to protect families of those killed or injured in workplace and mine accidents.
Progressives and labor unions oftentimes did not see eye to eye. However, one issue that some progressives and unions did agree on was the need to restrict further European immigration, especially from southeastern Europe. Immigrants were not union supporters, and increased immigration would cause a larger supply of labor, thus driving down wages. By not bringing in more immigrants who were "unlike ourselves," supporters stated that city life and morale in the workplace would improve. To some, opposing immigration was a progressive reform. More than anything, this demonstrated that "progressivism" meant very different things to different people.
The Square Deal of Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt's ascending to presidency in 1901 after the assassination of William McKinley brought to office a man unafraid to use the power of the government to address the evils of society. In 1902, Roosevelt helped mediate a strike between the United Mine Workers and the coal companies. Roosevelt stated that the agreement was a "Square Deal" for both sides. This term would be used throughout his time in office to emphasize that government intervention could help the plight of ordinary Americans.
Roosevelt was reelected in 1904, and, in 1906, Roosevelt supported legislation that was progressive in nature. He supported the Hepburn Act, which gave teeth to the Interstate Commerce Act, designed to further regulate interstate shippers, and the creation of the pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act. The writings of many muckrakers, including Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, highlighted many of the problems of the food industry addressed in these bills.
Roosevelt also used the federal government to aggressively investigate and prosecute illegal trusts and holding companies (both described in Chapter 16). The Sherman Antitrust Act had been in place since 1890, yet neither President Cleveland nor President McKinley had ordered its enforcement on a regular basis. To many Americans, it appeared that a small group of Wall Street bankers controlled the entire American economy (this complaint would be echoed many times in the twentieth century). Roosevelt had the Justice Department sue Standard Oil, the American Tobacco Company, and the Northern Securities Company, a holding company that controlled many American railroads. All were partially broken up as a result of these government actions. By the end of his time in office, Roosevelt had taken on 45 major American corporations. It should be emphasized that Theodore Roosevelt was not antibusiness; however, he did strongly believe that corporations who abused their power should be punished.
Roosevelt also enacted other measures applauded by progressives. In 1905, he created the United States Forest Service, which soon acted to set aside 200 million acres of land for national forests. The Sixteenth Amendment, enacted in 1913, authorized the collection of federal income taxes, which could be collected largely from the wealthy (the income of the federal government had been previously collected from tariffs; progressives argued that to pay for them the prices of goods sold to the working classes were artificially high). In the end, the "Square Deal" was based on the idea of creating a level playing field. Roosevelt was not against trusts; he opposed trusts that were harmful to the economy. He supported Standard Oil, for example, because of the benefits he said it brought to America.

text: Growing up I had a huge passion for Ford Motor Company especially the F-150 and F250. When the seventh generation truck was built 80-86 with the IDI international I swore I would have one as my first vehicle at 16yrs old.(86) Instead I had to settle for the awesome Ford Ranger (1984) I did not have enough money to buy the diesel Lariat. As time went on and college passed that style truck got older. I could not find one anymore that were not already ran into the ground. I have had newer trucks but it was not the same there was something about the IDI motor and the 80's style pickup truck that I loved. One day while surfing craigslist in 2010 I found my sweet sixteen dream truck, it was not pretty but it was SOLID. I was able to purchase it and bring it back to life, a little bit of elbow grease and a fresh coat of paint it was golden, heads turn because it looks so original. I am a Vol. firefighter also, I was able to find a first class light bar that was the best ever built in the early 80's the Federal Twinsonic, you seen a lot of these on Ford rescue vehicles back then. Put it all together and you might think I'm stuck in the early 80's except I am not wearing any tie-dye. It's fun hearing the comments "I remember when" from people. When they see my Ford truck and light bar it brings them back to so many great memories. Thank you Ford for building first class quality vehicles, I am proud to say I own three of them. My 1986 F-250 along with a 2000 Excursion and a 2010 Taurus.

These test clips, showcasing Kodak's innovations in film and color processing, are not just enjoyable but positively hypnotizing.
Even more interesting to a modern viewer are the women's gestures. They act out fluttery, innocent modesty; warm maternal love; and in the longest sequence, sexy, puckered-lip vamping. Their open expressions of feeling and the particular way they move their hands and tilt their heads, even more than the fashions of their clothes and makeup, immediately mark them as women of the interwar period. Recently a Russian film scholar, Oksana Bulgakowa, has shown how various feelings and meanings were coded in the gestures of early film actors. Some of these are so unfamiliar now, they seem like a foreign language.

The dramatically dilapidated Loews King Theatre, on Flatbush Avenue, is set for a resurrection.
The place was built in 1929. A young Barbra Streisand once worked here. So did Sylvester Stallone.
It's been closed since 1977, but it's still the largest indoor theater in Brooklyn, with 3,200 seats. I got to walk around inside yesterday, and despite all the dust and decay, it's pretty spectacular.
The plan is to restore its former grandeur, and turn it into a major performing arts center. Opening set for 2015.
As a former Brooklynite, I should confess: I'm a little envious.
I've been following this story for the past year or so with major excitement. Can't wait to see this theater — and to see it in use again.

Mackay was a quintessential 'It Girl' of her era, and accounts of her ball were written up in all the society papers. She viewed the society matchmaking game with some trepidation, but also with amusement. (In 'Girls' terms, she was raised to be a Marnie, but quickly learned to embrace her inner Jessa.)

"I thought a lot about the risks of the inherent old-timeyness of a songbook. I know I have friends who will dismiss it as a stylistic indulgence, a gimmick. There's a way of miniaturizing and neutralizing the past, encasing it in a quaint, retro irrelevancy and designating it as something only fit for curiosity-seekers or revivalists. But although the present moment can exclude the past from relevance, it can't erase its influence entirely. Each era finds something new to return to; things that seemed out of date have a way of coming back in new forms, and revealing aspects of themselves we might not have noticed before." (via Song Reader: Beck Revives the Romance of Sheet Music with 26 Illustrated Songs | Brain Pickings)
This makes me VERY HAPPY indeed. I'm a sometime collector of old sheet music for all these reasons and more. I've got to get my grubby paws on this songbook.

text: And, I prayed to god, hoping to meet with her and start a ordinary relationship, ordinary kind of love with her. I would secretly ask the people around her what kind of person she is.I would wander around her neighborhood and wanting to show the best of myself in front of her parents, pretending that my appetite is always good and i love all the food. I would wait for her at the place she often goes. When I miss her i will say i miss her, when i think of her i will say i think of her, when my heart thumps i will say i like her. I prayed to have this kind of love. And I pray to god again now, thank you , I am very happy now.

Old Fashioned Blueberry Muffin on Flickr.
Do you know today's National Blueberry Muffin Day? Me neither but apparently July 11 is the designated date. I already had plans to whip up a batch of Cook's Illustrated Old-Fashioned Blueberry Muffins using whole milk yogurt in place of sour cream. I also added a touch of ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon to spice things up a bit. Very tender muffins with handsomely high dome.

Haji Shearer, a Licensed Social Worker, author and speaker on father engagement and co-parenting, has created this "non-pressure" workshop specifically for the father/son pair.
A growing body of research suggests that when fathers are both physically and emotionally present, the children are more successful academically and healthier psychologically. Studies also show that the fathers themselves are healthier, less depressed and more successful in their marriages and careers.

OPM extends more benefits to feds in military families
Thursday - 9/29/2011, 7:00pm EDT
Federal workers will be able to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to address issues arising from the military deployment of a spouse, child or parent starting next month.
The amendment to the Family and Medical Leave Act will help military families manage their personal affairs, said the Office of Personnel Management in regulations that will appear in Friday's Federal Register and will become effective Oct. 30.
The amendment gives federal workers the same rights as people working in the private sector. FMLA lets family of a service member who is preparing to deploy or already serving overseas use unpaid leave for the following reasons:
- To arrange childcare or attend school meetings.
- To receive counseling.
- To address issues that may arise when the service member is given less than a week's notice of deployment.
- To spend time with the service member when they are on short-term leave.
- To attend military ceremonies or other official activities related to the deployment.
- To prepare a will, obtain a military identity card or make other financial and legal arrangements concerning the deployment.
- To make arrangements for the service member's return home, or address issues arising from their death in the line of duty.
Under the amendment, military families may use unpaid leave in other situations on a case-by-case basis and they may have to show proof. An agency could require evidence of a school meeting, for example. The rule permits supervisors to follow up with a phone call to the school to confirm the employee's attendance.
The Family and Medical Leave Act protects workers from losing their jobs or health benefits while on unpaid leave. It's commonly used by parents caring for a newborn child or a family member with a serious health condition.

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 25 (HealthDay News) -- Nurses who work long
hours and have less physically demanding jobs are much more likely
to be obese than other nurses, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Maryland School of Nursing
surveyed about 2,100 female nurses and found that about 55 percent
of them were obese. They determined that nursing schedules affect
nurses' health and also the quality of patient care.
"Long work hours and shift work adversely affect quantity and quality of sleep, which often interferes with adherence to healthy behavior and increases obesity," said the study's lead researcher, Kihye Han, a postdoctoral fellow at the nursing school, in a university news release.
Han said the findings -- published recently in the
Journal of Nursing Administration -- support the need to
change the common 12-hour nursing shift. The researchers added that
hospitals and other health care facilities should offer educational
programs on how to adapt to work schedules, deal with sleep
deprivation and reduce fatigue.
"Considering that more than half of nurses are overweight or obese, increasing availability of healthy food and providing sufficient time to consume it may reduce the risk of obesity and future health problems," Han noted.
In a previous study, the researchers found that in terms of
nursing schedules, working long shifts and having too little time
off were most often related to the death of patients. A separate
study also suggested the 12-hour nursing shift can lead to sleep
deprivation, health problems and increased risk for errors in
patient care.

A major reshuffle of the organisation of MotoGP and World Superbikes will see Dorna manage both championships in the future.
Bridgepoint, the private equity firm that invested in Dorna in 2006 and World Superbike owners Infront Sports & Media last year, confirmed the re-organisation yesterday.
Dorna will now take full responsibility for MotoGP and World Superbikes, with Infront Motor Sports undertaking a new role of marketing partner and global advisor for both championships.
For years there has been debate about whether MotoGP and World Superbikes could happily co-exist in a shrinking sponsorship market.
Both have been seen to be in competition whereas the new structure it is hoped will strengthen both championships.
One immediate impact of the decision to make Dorna the parent company of MotoGP and World Superbikes will be to make WSB a cheaper and more production-based series like the current Superstock format where minimal performance tweaks are permitted.
A statement issued on behalf of Dorna yesterday read: "Bridgepoint has announced that Dorna Sports and Infront Sports & Media have reached agreement to bring both their motorcycle racing interests under a single umbrella organisation.
"Dorna is the organiser of the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix ("MotoGP™"), whilst Infront organises the eni FIM Superbike World Championship ("WorldSBK") through its subsidiary Infront Motor Sports.
As a consequence, MotoGP and WorldSBK, will be integrated within the Dorna Sports group but managed as separate events with a view to enhancing the two distinct championships.
"The objective is to allow both series to develop and enhance their championship personalities, retaining their leadership positions in the arena of world motorcycle road racing - WorldSBK, with its focus on production-based racing, and MotoGP with its focus on prototype racing.
"At the same time, both championships will benefit from joint marketing and commercial strategies.
"Alongside this re-organisation, Infront has been appointed as marketing partner and global advisor to both championships."
Philippe Blatter, President & CEO of Infront Sports & Media, said: "Under the new structure, the two leading motorcycle road racing events are now set for sustainable further growth and development. A true win-win situation has been created.
"Both Dorna and Infront can now further strengthen and focus on their core competencies and, in addition, achieve leading positions in their specific area of expertise."
Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports, added: "We're very excited to have the two top motorcycle road racing series under one roof.
"We fully expect to develop and strengthen the distinct nature of both MotoGP and WorldSBK as separate properties and remain committed to working with teams and manufacturers, circuit owners, sponsors and broadcasters to give fans the best experience yet."
Commenting on the re-organisation, Bridgepoint said: "This is a logical and exciting development which should ensure that both these fantastic Championships continue to flourish."

What makes perfect sense for you may not necessarily be so for a normal mortal.
Regarding DORNA and the coming Spanish World Series, are you really aware of the power that Ezpeleta now wields and just how he will use this?
One in four Spaniards does not work, possibly the man from Madrid wants to get them into his series, don't guffaw too loudly, he soon paved the way for young Marquez when the path was blocked.

[…] Zatanna's wish fulfillment spell found Durance channeling her inner Chloe in Hex.
"When I read that script I was really excited, but also wanted to be careful because the character of Chloe is so beloved by the fans," recalls Durance. "You don't realize what you've gleaned from working with someone, so just having been on the show with Allison (Mack) for quite a few years gave me a chance to pick up on things. It just started to come to me as I was working on it, and it was collaborative. The writers and the director talked about it with me, so it became a huge effort. You just have to let go and have a lot of fun with it. Allison hung out sometimes and gave me ideas about things. It wasn't so much the physical aspects, because, ironically, you're never aware of how you really move. I would finish doing a scene and everyone would go 'Oh, that's so Allison! That's so Chloe!' And she'd be like 'I do that?'It was more of talking about where her character was coming from that helped."

Vacation on a Budget
Posted By Alejandra Owens On July 21, 2009 @ 11:11 am In Money Talk | No Comments
Although times are tough, the summer tends to trigger the "travel itch" – you know, that sense of urgency to get out of town immediately to a sun-drenched vacation consisting of laying out by a pool and sipping on piña coladas all day. So how can we quench our vacation thirst without spending all of our retirement savings?
Well, it looks like Peter Greenburg has [1]some answers for us. An inquiry led Greenburg to give tips on how to find the best deals for older folks looking to go on a cruise – apparently there a lot of discounts for older adults available. Check out the article [1]and some online resources he gives, like CruiseCritic [2], GalaxSea Cruise [3]and Tours and Cruise.com [4].
Happy cruising!

Book Description:
COLLECTIBLE MOVIE POSTERS ILLUSTRATED GUIDE WITH AUCTION PRICES What makes a movie poster valuable? 1978: A woman buys her husband a gift--an old horror-movie poster, one of many in a stack. The price: $10. The poster hangs on their wall for 30 years. "I knew it was something special," she says. In 2009, they sell it for $107,550. Since the 1990s, rare movie posters have skyrocketed in value. High demand and low supply have created one of today's hottest collectibles markets. Hollywood celebrities buy up these classic pieces of movie memorabilia--but so do everyday collectors: people who love the color, history, drama, and beauty of American film posters. In Collectible Movie Posters, Jim Halperin and Hector Cantu -- two experts from Heritage Auction Galleries, which handles 70 percent of the world's movie poster auction sales -- share with you the wonderful world of the rarest, the most valuable, and the most exciting movie posters known to exist. Who knows -- maybe a poster that you find in an antique store's bargain bin will someday make this list.

It's probably too late for this. The hype has peaked, crested and started to diminish. In fact it's probably borderline jumping the shark. Some sad old guy trying to keep up with the kids. The kids are probably already off to something new. Kind of depressing. Like when your parents ask you if you'd seen that OK Go YouTube video with the treadmills. And I don't quite get the appeal of Muxtape. Especially since there's no way to interact with…but here goes. A Spring Muxtape from Songs:Illinois.

Lori Fujikawa, who wiped away tears as she stood behind a row of television cameras, said that her son turning pro will make it easier for him to concentrate on golf.
"It's hard to tell your child, 'No, you can't do it,''' she said.
Lori Fujikawa, an office clerk at an auto body shop, said paying for her son's travels to the mainland, golf lessons and other expenses has been extremely difficult. Family members often had to help out.
"We always went the cheapest route and it was still expensive,'' she said.
Lori Fujikawa doesn't plan to quit her job.
"Our life will not change. We'll still work,'' she said.
While other players stayed at the closest resorts, the Fujikawas opted for motels in the area.
Derrick Fujikawa remembers when his only child was just 5 and would take swings in their backyard. By age 11, the younger Fujikawa was beating his dad on the golf course.
"But I still could beat him in judo,'' his father said.
Derrick Fujikawa said his son, who was often the smallest kid around, has always been a "fierce competitor.''
Fujikawa was a fighter from the time he was born - 3 1/2 months early, so small that he weighed only 1 pound, 15 ounces and could fit into his grandfather's palm. Fujikawa, who had only a 50 percent chance to live, made it through a series of operations the first year, one to reconnect his intestines.
"I try not to think about those days,'' Derrick Fujikawa said. "He went through a lot. I don't know how he does it, but everything he does, he tries his best at.''
Fujikawa received a sponsor's exemption to the Reno-Tahoe Open, which starts Aug. 2.
Kevin Bell, who will serve as his attorney-agent, said Fujikawa will seek other sponsor exemptions on the PGA Tour or try to qualify on the PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour and in Japan until he finishes high school.
Bell said Fujikawa understands how high the level of play is on tour.
"He doesn't believe he's going to take the world by storm,'' Bell said. "He needs to develop his game and take it to that next level. This was a way for him to do that.''
Fujikawa said he feels confident about his game, and knows having the 'A' removed means he'll be playing for a lot more than just fun.
"As of right now, there's no going back,'' he said.

McKeowns watercolours, which are also predominantly monochrome in style, are represented in the exhibition by Waiting for the Corncrake, 2008. This series of 30 works one for each day of the month harks back to the artists childhood on his familys farm, where his father waited patiently for the first calls heralding the arrival of the corncrake and cuckoo, noting down the dates and comparing them with previous years. The series also points to the present-day plight of the corncrake, once synonymous with the Irish countryside and now an endangered species. Simultaneously, McKeown has developed a series of botanical drawings. In Wild Poppy #1, 2001, and Primrose #2, 2003, we are presented with detailed translucent images, almost invisible on a white background, encapsulating both the seasons of the year and the flora of the artists native County Tyrone. Despite their simplicity, these works like McKeowns paintings also exude a palpable feeling of light and warmth.
William McKeown was born in 1962. He studied at Central St Martins School of Art and Design, London; Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow, and the University of Ulster, Belfast. Recent solo shows include the Golden Thread Gallery, Belfast, 2004; Project Arts Centre, Dublin, 2004; Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin, 2004; Ormeau Baths Gallery, Belfast, 2002, and the Kerlin Gallery, Dublin, 2006. McKeown has participated in numerous group exhibitions and was Northern Irelands representative at the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005. His work is included in many private collections in Europe and he was short-listed for the IMMA Glen Dimplex Artists Award in 1997.
A fully-illustrated colour catalogue, designed and produced by CHARTA in close collaboration with William McKeown and IMMA curators, accompanies the exhibition. This will include essays by Enrique Juncosa, Director, IMMA, Declan Long, art historian at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, and London-based art historian and critic Corinna Lotz.

Glass is our business
The development of thin-film technology on glass for the production of photovoltaic modules opened a new market segment for Grenzebach.
For over 40 years the company has been a competent partner to the flat glass industry and has achieved a leading position as an acknowledged specialist in conveying and handling technology. With their intensive know how and long experience in the construction of processing equipment for material flow the company offers sophisticated technology from a single machine to a complete production line.
This background is an ideal basis for state-of-the-art, reliable and cost-effective production machinery for the photovoltaic industry.
Producers of thin-film photovoltaic modules can choose from a wide range of technology. Working in close cooperation with their customers, Grenzebach engineers will design a line layout to satisfy their individual production needs.
The company provides Front End as well as Back End equipment. For feeding and de-stacking from substrate back side and for loading on conveyors, robot handling offers a valuable and functional solution. Glass sheets, whether small or large, are smoothly and accurately transported on roller and roller angle transfer conveyors. In the hot areas around the CVD process, the glass is loaded and unloaded by high performance fork loaders.
During the cool down stage of the laser scribe process and during maintenance of the various coating and laser processes, accumulators store the substrates and afterwards re-feed the line, thus securing the constant availability of the photovoltaic production equipment.
Extreme accuracy and smooth treatment of the glass are only two of the many standards that have to be met by efficient cutting and snapping technology. The substrate glass is cut in X/Y directions and snapping is done with a high roll without touching the coated side.
Grenzebach is a leading player in the development of cutting glass by laser. Laser cut glass is free of micro-cracks and has absolutely perfect and smooth edges. This improves glass stability 2-3 times compared with conventionally scored glass.
The company also offers a PVB-foil applicator, foil trimming and prelaminating lines. Rack stillages provide optimum storage for substrate glass, front glass and photovoltaic panels. Grenzebach has designed an optimized transport system to automate the entire lamination process, whether autoclaves or laminators are used.
Module finishing combines placement of the junction box, panel sealing, framing, panel simulation and stacking.
A simulation programme allows customers to verify in advance the optimum layout, material flow and production yield while recognized PLC systems are used and sophisticated visualization integrated in the production line. The Grenzebach network concept connects all interfaces from the PLC field bus to the customer supplied ERP system.
A MES System offers access and transparency of critical production data inside companies and plants and is customized to the needs of the user.
Lately, Grenzebach introduced a novel Ultra Sonic Rail Bonding System which is ideally suited when high loads are to be fixed on glass. By this method aluminium and stainless steel are welded onto the glass to create plain surface bonding without affecting glass or coating. This makes it especially suited for the photovoltaic industry. The bonding rail improves the stability of solar modules and allows easy mounting to carrier elements or onto roofs by simple screw connections.
During the thin film solar panel production process, glass panels undergo a number of complex processes. To ensure a constant and high level of production results, Grenzebach offers innovative material inspection technology such as optical surface inspection, edge deletion inspection or lamination quality inspection.
Intensive training programmes and teleservice supports the operating staff. Customers can combine their individual after-sales service package and thus relieve themselves from the burden of maintaining and servicing their individual production machinery.
While taking full advantage of modern communications technology, Grenzebach place great emphasis on maintaining direct and personal contact with their customers. With their production sites in Europe, the US and China, sales offices and representations throughout the world the company is always close to its customers.

Nadine pretty much nailed it — this place has been getting it right for as long as I've been driving. Not only do they do a great job with the repairs, the pricing is always reasonable, and they're good at handling the logistical nightmare of dealing with my insurance company! I once got rear-ended, and brought my car in on a Friday. Insurance company tells me they won't pay for a rental til Monday because the car is still 'drive-able'. George talks to them, and 10 minutes later, voila! I have my rental, no problem.
I can't say enough nice things about this place! Trust me, people — good mechanics (much like good BBQ) are found in the little hole-in-the-wall establishments.
This auto body shop is the best there is…anywhere! My family has been going here for years, and they will never rip you off. The owners, George and Donna, are great, honest people, and I cannot recommend this place enough. I don't know them personally, only from my family's many car accidents, and all our interactions with them have been pleasant and painless, which is pretty amazing considering that I only see them after a car accident.
They're always candid about what needs to be done, and have even fixed little things they saw wrong when I brought the car in for body work, like a previously broken lock or cracked hubcap without me even mentioning it.
The shop looks like a little hole in the wall kind of place, but they're very professional.

Your grandma's Yule log wasn't the only thing that was smoking hot during the holidays.
Rihanna and her tiny two-piece kicked it on the beach in Barbados yesterday.
All hail.
She's really cute. I bet Chris is kicking himself in the balls now! I hope she has a good life.
Pink looks really good on dark skin. I'm going to get a tan and buy me a pink two-piece.
Wow who ever wrote this has bad taste she is not HOT!! Yuck!!! give her a couple yrs and she will be two tons lol
76. Why do black people like having stretchy things on their heads?? looks like she cut up her thigh hose and wrapped it up top. Woody Woodpecker...yamika...lol!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted at 5:46PM on Dec 27th 2009 by pantyhose
Why do white women fry their hair with bleach to make it look like yellow straw and put two silicone bags on their chests to get a sense of self esteem before they start slutting themselves around to any man who would screw them? Women are strange.
She's realllllly hot. Only a dog likes a bone! Slap that ass!
where is the rogue wave. that would make the photo perfect. overrated bitch.
(Lolita) isnt rihanna black ?? she got into the bleach bottle too that looks nasty!!
The girl really needs to find an age-appropriate suit that minimizes the look of the thunder thighs.
84. White Dude, you're nuts!!!
What do you mean "Nor do white women all have thin thighs and nice tight behinds"? Most have flabby thighs and "ironing board" butts! There's no comparison between Naomi and Rihanna! Naomi is a white man's woman (a stick), and Rihanna is truly a minority man's woman (thick and curvy)!
Posted at 6:15PM on Dec 27th 2009 by What?
Face it #84 most black are gravitating towards White women more and more each day. Given a choice most black men will take an ugly White woman over a decent looking black woman. Go to any Walmart and you'll see that. Look at Lamar Odom of the Lakers, he married one of those fugly Kardashians because of her name rather than hook up with a decent looking black woman. Face it, black men despise black women. I think Oprah did a show on that. Heck, Oprah would rather grind with Gayle King than a black man. The black culture is on the down low and I do feel sorry for the black community as they disintegrate more and more each day.
Now, that's a McBooty, not to be confused with a McRib, now available at Mickey Ds for a limited time...
Great body???????????? Huh!!!
Jay Z got her to sell her soul to devil. Now she's possessed and wants out of the pact she made. She'll have to kill herself to get out of that. It's just a matter of time before she decides how she wants to off herself . . .
Tick . . . tick . . . tick . . .
gross she has no calf muscles at all. horrible legs and flat chested... ughhh.
YUK, her NOSE is as HUGE as her ASS! Yuk and YUK!

March 10, 2014:
Towards the middle of last year, Dianna Huff reached out to Casie Gillette and me with a simple idea: We'd seen many reports on how B2B buyers find information online and what tactics B2B marketers were using to reach target audiences, but we couldn't find anything of significance when it came to the buying experience once that buyer actually got to the vendor website.
- What elements of the B2B vendor site were most valuable?
- What elements supported trust and credibility?
- What elements were frustrating, annoying, and absolute show stoppers?

During BYU's State of the Program address on football Media Day, Tom Holmoe and Bronco Mendenhall addressed the improper benefits investigation that surfaced to the public a month ago.
BYU's internal investigation has already been completed. Now the program is waiting on a response from the NCAA if there are any sanctions. As Tom Holmoe put it, "this isn't a major issue." This investigation is on a lower-tier from the NCAA sanctions scale.
We will find out more information from the NCAA in one month.
Mendenhall said he was at complete peace with the situation. Said he was proud of the institution more than ever and amazed at the speed of the investigation stating, "never seen anything like it."
All this talk about a juicy BYU scandal is much ado about nothing. BYU has moved on from this and is business as usual. Will be fascinating to me if all of this comes down to socks like many believe it is. We will never find out unless the NCAA releases their feedback publicly.
Folks don't need to worry about major sanctions in this program. BYU can still boast that they are the only AP National Champion to not have any sanctions in their history. That still remains in tact.

Happy Birthday!
(Source: look-like-an-exceptional-moment)
Happy 46th Birthday to my hero, my inspiration and the joy of my life, Mr. Patrick Dempsey!
I think it goes without saying just how much love and adoration I have for you, Patrick. You are by far the person who inspires me the most in this world, I look to you whenever I'm in need of some infusion of happiness into my life.

'Sheer madness' to hand over ICC's power to 'Big Three': Mani
Former International Cricket Council president Ehsan Mani has warned cricket playing nations, saying it would be "sheer madness" for the ICC to hand over power to 'Big Three' -- India, Australia and England.
It was announced after a board meeting in Dubai last month that a new five-member ICC executive committee would be established to include representatives from the ECB, Cricket Australia and the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
Mani said BCCI, ECB and CA will benefit significantly in financial terms from their proposals and promote their own self-interests.
The current executive committee includes representatives from all 10 test-playing countries, and some suggest the new proposals will allow the 'Big Three' to take over at the expense of other cricketing nations, Sport24 reports.
Mani observed that the three boards said they will provide greater leadership and stability to the ICC and its Members in return for powers of the ICC Board. However, they failed to demonstrate how they will do this in any meaningful way.
Mani believes three of the 10 test-playing nations will reject the new proposals, and added that according to him South Africa, Sri Lanka and Pakistan will not vote for the ICC revamp plan.

Buffalo, NY (WKBW) - Elvin Shepherd's passion for music made him an accomplished jazz musician with a career spanning for decades until his death in 1995. Shepherd was widely know for his skills on the trumpet and saxophone and traveled around the country performing. He's also shared the stage with countless legends including Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie. His home on Laurel Street in the Queen City had many visitors including Dorothy (Do Do) Green, Clark Terry, and Rick James. Shepherd also taught many their craft at his Buffalo home including Grover Washington Jr.
"His whole life was music. Everyone he spoke to, everyone he talked to, that was the first thing that came out of his mouth," said John Shepherd, Elvin's Son. "Everyone that came to see my father were named musicians, famous musicians but to me there were just my dad's friends."
The Laurel Street home ended up on the city's demolition list, until the Western New York Minority Media Professionals took action. The group successfully stopped the demolition and its now in the process of buying the property to transform it into a museum.
"There was no way we could let that house be demolished," said Sufana Wajed, Vice President of WNY Minority Media Professionals. "The rest of the community doesn't know about this great treasure on Laurel Street. I want people to enjoy the rich history of not only the house, but the street, and Buffalo as a whole. We have such a rich history."
The WNYMMP would like the museum to celebrate Buffalo's rich Jazz history and Elvin Shepherd. Members would also like the property to serve as a resource for upcoming musicians. For more information visit:http://www.wnymmp.org/index.html

In my prior post on the problems with open source, I wrote that one issue that impacts open source revenues is the macro economy, and how a declining or difficult macro economy can result in reduction of revenues to open source companies. The following article talks about how financially troubled Spain is saving a "fortune" by moving to open source. The Spanish government's savings are coming at the expense of proprietary server software companies–most likely Microsoft–but I would be willing to bet that none of this "savings" is flowing to the open source vendors. That is[Read more...]
It's been some time now that we've been talking about devops, the pushing together of application development and application deployment via IT operations, in the enterprise. To keep up to speed on the trend, 451 CAOS attended PuppetConf, a conference for the Puppet Labs community of IT administrators, developers and industry leaders around the open source Puppet server configuration and automation software. One thing that seems clear, given the talk about agile development and operations, cloud computing, business and culture, our definition of devops continues to be accurate.
Another consistent part of devops that also emerged at PuppetConf last week was the way it tends to introduce additional stakeholders[Read more...]
Matt Asay has written an interesting post speculating that Oracle might use the delay caused by the European Commission investigation into its acquisition of Sun to drive the price down. Sounds reasonable enough to me.
In it, Matt makes a couple of statements, one I agree with: "Oracle… likely will prove to be a better manager of this asset than Sun was"; and one that I have real doubts about: "MySQL's… doing just fine, thank you".
MySQL might well be doing fine. Unfortunately Sun's financial results don't actually provide any evidence either way.
Billings for the MySQL/Infrastructure were up 51% to $313m in FY09, according to information presented with[Read more...]
A classic Morecambe and Wise comedy sketch from the 1970s sees Andre Previn criticizing Eric for playing all the wrong notes while attempting the Greig Piano Concerto. Morecambe responds that he is in fact "playing all the right notes. But not necessarily in the right order."
I was reminded of the sketch this morning while reading BusinessWeek's article on the potential perils facing open source vendors today. It seems to ask all the right questions, but not necessarily in the right way.
The report suggests that while industry giants such as IBM, HP, Oracle and Intel stand to benefit from open source software, investor impatience[Read more...]

The American Literature Association has announced today that the title of George Orwell's "1984" will be officially changed to "2034" in order to convince more young people of the threat of a totalitarian government. "Kids today don't really get the impact of Orwell's dystopian masterpiece because it was set more than twenty years ago," says Clint Wordsmith, the PR director for the ALA. "If it was set in the near future, kids may be more convinced of the dangers that Orwell warns of."
In order to preserve the impact of the change, the ALA will be recalling all existing copies of "1984" and replacing them with new "2034" versions. "We feel that if there are still versions of '1984' out there, it will undermine what we are trying to accomplish with this change," says Wordsmith, who is working with the National Historical society to officially change George Orwell's birth and death date to correspond with the new 1999 publishing date. "We want people to think that it has always been '2034', and the days of '1984' will be forgotten."
Wordsmith admits that this change wasn't his idea, but rather came from his older brother, Brad. "He's alway's been watching me, making sure I always do the right things. He's really a godsend, I think everybody could use a big brother like him."

Scotty Wilbekin answers Billy Donovan's call
- 7:28 pm Saturday, March 22nd, 2014 by Jonathan Czupryn
In their Round of 64 matchup on Thursday, the Florida Gators struggled to create much separation in the second half when senior Scottie Wilbekin failed to be the team's sparkplug.
But in the Round of 32 against the Pittsburgh Panthers on Saturday, Wilbekin responded to coach Billy Donovan's critiques with 21 points – his second highest scoring performance of his career – and an energy on the court that was missing Thursday.
Most importantly, Wilbekin's play boosted Florida (34-2) to a 61-45 victory over Pitt (26-10), advancing the Gators to their fourth straight Sweet 16 appearance.
"I did not think Scottie played particularly well in the game against Albany," Donovan said. "It was good to see him come back and respond the way he did today. I thought all the way around he played very well."
No. 1 Gators win NCAA opener but not happy with performance
- 8:14 pm Thursday, March 20th, 2014 by Jonathan Czupryn
ORLANDO — After a historic regular season marked by broken records and unprecedented success, the Florida Gators nearly saw it all crumble to an end Thursday.
In the second round of the NCAA Tournament, No. 1 seed Florida (33-2) needed a 28-16 run during the game's final 14 minutes to knock off the No. 16 seed Albany Great Danes (19-15) for a 67-55 victory.
"I think there's been a lot that our guys have had to handle and deal with, and . . . they've done a really good job of putting things behind them, moving to the next challenge," coach Billy Donovan said. "The most important thing here is survive and advance, and we advanced."
Billy Donovan says freshman Chris Walker has more to learn
- 5:04 pm Thursday, March 20th, 2014 by Jonathan Czupryn
Whether Chris Walker decides to enter the NBA Draft following the end of the season or return to Florida for his sophomore year, coach Billy Donovan said the freshman forward can still learn a lot from another former McDonald's All-American big man.
Donovan said Walker – despite being physically gifted – is still not the disciplined player that senior Patric Young has become for the No. 1 overall seed Gators.
"Chris Walker athletically, moving, running, jumping, is an unbelievable athlete," Donovan said. "But I would not classify him right now as an efficient mover. Patric is a disciplined, efficient mover. There's no way waste of motion with him. He's really, really disciplined."
Kentucky looking forward to rematch against Florida in SEC championship game
- 12:11 am Sunday, March 16th, 2014 by Jonathan Czupryn
Before Florida visited Kentucky on Feb. 15, only two teams had ever walked away from Rupp Arena with a win during the John Calipari era. By the end of the night, the Gators became team No. 3.
Then, when the Wildcats had their shot at redemption on a visit to the O'Connell Center, they fell short and lost the season series to the Gators for the first time since 2007.
On Sunday the Gators and the Wildcats will meet for the third time this season and Kentucky forward Willie Cauley-Stein said he's been looking forward to the rematch since the Southeastern Conference Tournament began.
Billy Donovan concerned about SEC-NCAA tournament turnaround
- 5:13 pm Monday, March 10th, 2014 by Jonathan Czupryn
If the decision were up to coach Billy Donovan, the Florida Gators would be in the Southeastern Conference Tournament championship game every year. But if it were up to him, that game would also come a little sooner on the schedule.
The finale of the league tournament falls on Selection Sunday, which is just four days before the start of the NCAA tournament (not including the two play-in games). For Donovan, that's cutting it too close. The No. 1-ranked Gators are expected to start the NCAA tournament in Orlando, which would mean playing on Thursday.
Gators hope guard Kasey Hill returns soon
- 5:06 pm Thursday, February 27th, 2014 by Jonathan Czupryn
After missing Kasey Hill for the past three games due to a strained groin, coach Billy Donovan said the Gators need their backup point guard back on the court to provide Scottie Wilbekin some relief.
With 11:39 remaining in the second half against Kentucky on Feb. 15, Hill left the game and has not returned. The freshman point guard averaged 23.4 minutes per game before his injury, leaving Donovan to play Wilbekin 111 out of 120 minutes combined during the Gators' last three games.
Chris Walker says he unknowingly received impermissible benefits

Speaking with the media for the first time since enrolling at Florida on Dec. 14, Chris Walker said the broken rules that caused him to miss 12 games while under NCAA investigation were done so unknowingly. [More]
ESPN analyst Jimmy Dykes likes Florida Gators as national-title contender
- 11:51 am Tuesday, February 4th, 2014 by Phillip Heilman
Without a truly recognizable star and multiple players missing time due to injury or suspension, Florida was able to fly under the radar for much of the season.
But after ripping off 13 straight wins in impressive fashion, the No. 3 Gators have burst into the national spotlight while cementing themselves as one of a handful of legitimate title contenders. [More]
Chris Walker expected to make debut for Florida Gators on Tuesday night
- 3:43 pm Monday, February 3rd, 2014 by Phillip Heilman
It is a moment that has been months in the making.
After several lengthy hiccups, highly touted freshman Chris Walker is expected to make his long-awaited debut for No. 3 Florida as it hosts Missouri on Tuesday night (9 p.m., ESPN2).
Billy Donovan unconcerned with rankings as Florida Gators enter tougher stretch
- 1:18 pm Monday, February 3rd, 2014 by Phillip Heilman
Winners of 13 straight games, the No. 3 Gators have established themselves as the team to beat in the SEC and one of a handful of programs in position to garner serious consideration for a top seed in the NCAA Tournament.
But none of that matters at this point to coach Billy Donovan, who is stressing the importance of his team remaining focused as it enters a tougher stretch of conference play. [More]
