President Obama Talks To Black Americans Like That
Today August 7th, 2014, NewsOne writer Donovan X. Ramsey posted an article on NewsOne.com with the title, "Why Can't Obama Talk To Black Americans Like That?" My Fraternity Brother and friend, Donald Anthony Wheeler tagged me in it on a Facebook post and asked for my thoughts.
This article questioned why all of the encouragement and praise President Obama recently offered the 500 African fellows in the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), which was a part of the greater U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit held in Washington, D.C. from August 4th – August 6th, 2014, is not extended from President Obama to Black Americans.
To the YALI fellows President Obama offers the following:
"I want to thank you for inspiring us with your talent and your motivation and your ambition," he said, looking out to the fellows. "You've got great aspirations for your countries and your continent. And as you build that brighter future that you imagine, I want to make sure that the United States of America is going to be your friend and partner every step of the way." Later in the speech, he added, "So the point of all of this is we believe in you. I believe in you. I believe in every one of you who are doing just extraordinary things."
In this very frank article Mr. Ramsey supported that President Obama's inspirational words to these African youth were "uncommon" to Black Americans, specifically when reviewing earlier messages and speeches President Obama has made to Black American audiences And, Mr. Ramsey even goes a step further to say that this encouragement made him a little bit "jealous."
I think we all get a little bit jealous whenever someone, other than ourselves, gets a little piece of President Obama's highly warranted attention And, even deeper, I understand where Mr. Ramsey is coming from, too. The idea that there are throngs of young, Black, youth living just outside of the White House, and all over America, but yet he creates a Young African Leaders Initiative is hard to swallow.
But, if we look at it another way, President Obama is doing what he has been fated to do, and I'm okay with his decision.
In 2013, I was a witness to President Obama's visit to a Brooklyn, NY high school–Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH), the school in which I currently teach. Just in knowing President Obama would visit the school sent an understated hysteria that resonated more like the anticipation one has when he or she is about to meet his or her hero for the first time. Ultimately, when President Obama spoke to this predominately Black (Black American, Caribbean, African and Afro-Latin@) population, he shared a very similar message of doing well and believing in the future of this post-millenial generation with all of the students in attendance. I looked in their faces as President Obama spoke and they were hanging onto his every word.
As Mr. Ramsey's article points out, there have been instances in which critics like the Reverend Jesse Jackson and others have felt that President Obama was "talking down to Black people." For example, Mr. Ramsey highlights President Obama's commencement message to the Morehouse College Class of 2013–he even suggests that the President compromised the graduates' joy and happiness on that day in his message of accountability and ridding themselves of excuses.
"We've got no time for excuses — not because the bitter legacies of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they haven't. Not because racism and discrimination no longer exist; that's still out there. It's just that in today's hyper-connected, hyper-competitive world, with a billion young people from China and India and Brazil entering the global workforce alongside you, nobody is going to give you anything you haven't earned," he said.
I think most of us would simply be happy to know that President Obama was "in the building" at our graduation, let alone being able to say he offered our commencement address. But, not to make light of Mr. Ramsey's claims, President Obama did not tell this class that he believed in them. And, no–he did not offer these students a partner in America. But, he did something far greater–he showed up and mentored each of these students individually by providing them with a blueprint as to how he became the Commander-In-Chief. Of course that message would depend on the way in which the graduate was willing to receive the message.
And, President Obama's messages and actions become even rosier for me.
I am not a fan of casting aspersions on the work that President Obama has done and is doing–I don't suggest that Mr. Ramsey is, either. But, I am wholeheartedly in favor of speaking my truth about what I glean from how I witness, hear, and understand these works. Again, President Obama is doing what he has been fated to do–to reconnect the African Diaspora as only it can be done through America, and more specifically, through the efforts of its Black American president.
While chattel slavery affected all of the African Diaspora in severe ways, I will be brash and controversial enough to admit that Black Americans are a pretty special group to have "made it" to America even during the arduous slave trade. We are even more significant because we have survived the legacy of the other elements that have been diffused in America as a result of its involvement in chattel slavery–the peculiar institution. By virtue having "made it" to America and also by being citizens, Black Americans have also gained access, albeit limited, to the all of the resources of this country. These resources have continually been sought out by the Caribbean Black and the African. Through accessing Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) like Kwame Nkrumah, or by aligning with the daily struggles of being Black in America through the creation of the Black Power movement by Stokely Carmichael, or by helping to shape the voice of the Harlem Renaissance like Claude McKay, America has always provided great ideas of possibility to Blacks outside of America.
President Obama is doing his job by keeping the doors open to Caribbean and African Blacks to continue this work. On the Continent of Africa, there is what is known as the "Door of No Return" but the very name of that infamous door, while it will never be obsolete, is now taking on a different meaning through what President Obama is doing and how he is encouraging Young African Leaders and also Africa's Black American kin.
President Obama makes me proud every day because he took the chance to run for America's presidency, and by successfully becoming America's president, he has changed the way the world will forever view Black people and our access to the world–whether we are American or Disaporan Black.
From my vantage point, I don't stand in competition with Blacks from around the world, but in solidarity. President Obama's message to them is already a message I have heard and internalized long before this recent U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit–so, it is indeed a message to me, also.
HAPPY 53rd BIRTHDAY, President Obama!
According to the Superman Poll, you have a 100% approval rating from this voter. While you cannot do it all, you have remained steadfast in advocating and ensuring that some of America's most vulnerable are cared for—Obama Care has changed the lives of many, Student Loan Forgiveness has given college-loan debtors some hope, and your most important leadership has been to inspire other members of the your team, like Attorney General Eric Holder, to openly speak against and investigate disparaging policy practices as they affect incarcerated people, especially Black males and other Men of Color.
According to the Perception Poll, you have a 100% approval rating from this voter for changing the way the world perceives which Americans are willing, able and capable of leading our nation, its people and its position as a leader among nations of the world. The My Brother's Keeper Initiative is such a smart initiative in sending a message about the perception about the importance of Black Males in our nation. The latest economy results are in—there is growth and jobs have been added to our economy!
According to the Cool Factor Poll, you have a 100% approval rating because I dig your cool—you can sing (remember the Apollo?), you can really play basketball, and I dig how relatable I find you and your family—Mrs. Obama as your wife and First Lady is the real deal. How cool!
According to the Intelligence Factor Poll, you have managed to show that it is okay to be a smart, study Political Science, be an expert on the Constitution, and be a well-written and well-published attorney. For that you have a 100% approval rating from me!
According to the Foreign Policy Poll, I have witnessed considerable growth in your leadership around the world, especially in this second term. None of us like what is happening in Gaza between Israel and Palestine, but one of the first changes I supported you requesting that Israel return to the use of the pre-1967 boundary lines in 2011. It was a start in establishing some semblance of equity in a turbulent region, but more importantly, I appreciate the fact that America, under your leadership found it important to condemn Israel's actions in Sunday's August 3rd, 2014 bombing of a Gaza UN school. We're making some progress and that's a good thing! And, you still always work toward peace. You have an 100% approval rating from this voter.
While I am having a lot of fun with these polls, I want it to be known that I find you to be way more than the average president and far greater than marginal–there is a lot of evidence to support my findings. I want today to be memorable and what birthdays are made of, even for the President of the United States of America: CAKE, CANDLES, and FUN!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, President Obama!
Happy 90th Birthday James Baldwin!
Have you ever wondered what an unapologetic life looks like? One needs to look no further than to the poetic, critical, and requited life of Mr. James Baldwin, affectionately known by his loved ones as "Jimmy".
He is a world treasure!
Had Mr. Baldwin not succumb to the esophageal cancer that conquered his physical body on December 1st, 1987, he would be sitting with us wearing his bright, bold, uncommon, gap-toothed smile, perhaps holding a cigarette and sharing some insightful words of wisdom amongst friends. His words would probably be a critique on the ways in which our nation has progressed racially, or not. Never one to tire of an economic, social and political commentary on the ways of the American and international world, I imagine that Mr. Baldwin's billowing words would eventually recess and retreat into his mind to be picked up later, as he analyzes whatever nature landscape has appeared in his midst.
"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive." ~James Baldwin
I only wish that as a high school and college student I had been more exposed to this literary force of more than 25 works and this phenomenal American man. Equally, I only wish that my birth would have intersected the times sooner so that I would have had the chance to meet him, speak with him or simply catch a glimpse of this beautiful man through the lens of a disposable camera.
Recently, during my time at Yale, I was researching in the Beinecke Library, Yale's repository of rare books and manuscripts, to sift through James Baldwin's papers like an archaeologist on an archaeological dig. What I found was a man, a thinker, an archivist, and man who doodled! On his time-stained, brown-paged manuscripts he doodled pictures of women, perhaps taking a break from the complexities of his mind by trying his left hand at an understated hobby–drawing. and, also on these pages, he recorded his life and structured conversations for us to continue having with the hopes of transforming America into a better nation of laws, people and mores.
"I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually." James Baldwin
Just writing about him makes me share my own bright, gap-toothed smile as I think about the way he has impacted my thinking and opened my being to what it means to live an unapologetic life. James Baldwin was an immaculate writer and superb wordsmith, but what I will always admire the most about him is the way truth escaped through his full lips and into bitter and sweet air, never to be lost in time because he recorded this truth on the pages of his books, it was woven into the couches of talks shows and captured on the reels of tape.
"Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death–ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life." James Baldwin
Happy 90th Birthday Mr. Baldwin!
John "B.B." Boehner: Bad Boss
On Wednesday July 30th, 2014, with a vote of 225-201, the House of Representatives voted to give John Boehner, the United States Speaker of the House, the authority to sue the President of the United States.
Say what?
That's right. Our dysfunctional 113th Congress came together for a vote along party lines to sue our President–every Democrat voted against the resolution to sue and all but five (5) Republicans voted in favor of the suit!
At the helm of this dysfunction is the 64-year old, stiff, stoic, and seriously egotistical John "B.B" Boehner. Sworn in as our nation's 61st Speaker of the House, it is the job of "B.B." to preside over the House of Representatives—one of two houses that comprises Congress. The members of the House of Representatives are determined by each state's population which means more populous states have greater voices and votes in the legislative (law-making) processes of the House of Representatives.
"B.B." has 435 people under his watch. Based on the productivity of this current Congress, it appears as if they all have pretty much been watching each other because they have clearly not been working.
So why the law suit?
By constitutional decree, "B.B." is second in line to the presidency, and that may have a lot to do with his treatment of President Obama since becoming the Speaker on January 3rd, 2011. I have a feeling that somewhere deep in his orange-stained encapsulated mind he believes that he can do a better job. But, the historical record shows the only thing "B.B." is capable of doing well is saying, "No." This Congress has been the least effective Congress in the history of America—even more ineffective than the 80th 'Do Nothing' Congress that served with President Harry Truman!
According to the Christian Science Monitor, the real reason "B.B." has moved forward with this expensive and frivolous law suit is because of the Republican's accusation of President Obama's "executive overreach—exceeding his constitutional powers and unlawfully going around Congress." The Wall Street Journal contributed Boehner's decision was reinforced by alterations that were made to the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obama Care.
Clearly the framers of the Constitution knew how to keep one another in check because they implicitly imbedded and explicitly granted really important duties, responsibilities, and privileges to the different branches of government. Because the Republicans of this Congress have been so staunch in their resolve to see President Obama fail, and since the Republicans were not successful in preventing President Obama from reelection, they just flat-out became uncooperative, leaving President Obama without a choice but to use the Executive Order and executive privilege to run this country and to make decisions that Congress, that appeared to be defunct at times, refused to help him with. But, President Obama still appealed to them and he still operated within the confines of the Constitution and under the oath he took to defend the Constitution when he was sworn in as president.
Under the partial congressional leadership of Boehner, our nation has suffered sequestration, been faced with issues with our nation's credit standing, and most importantly Americans have suffered by the non-passage of legislation to provide jobs, support our veterans, and improve the overall quality of life in health, education, and wages.
Bad Boss Boehner and his followers have no respect for the position of the president, show no remorse for the further suffering they have inflicted on the American people, and don't care about the international implications their actions dictate about how others around the world treat President Obama and respect our system of democracy. In true bad fashion, they have strong-armed the political process like a bunch of sophisticated crooks.
The history that President Obama has made by breaking and removing the glass ceiling of political exclusion for Americans in this country can never be undone. That's good!
But, the fact that America really wants to become a better nation, but unfortunately-stagnated, small-minded people wish to prevent our progress, is disturbing and bad.
Of all of the putrid and disturbing things for the Speaker of the House to do, using his position to "speak" ideas of anarchy and dysfunction deeper into our government is really low and bad.
When this Congress's history is recorded, it will not be for a record of all of the good and progressive ways in which it elevated America. Instead, it will be a record of them getting paid for bad, litigious, and intentionally unproductive ways to discredit the office of the president, maintain the status quo of political party chaos, and prevent the upward mobility of Americans and this nation.
America, we have roughly 95 days until mid-term elections are held on Election Day, November 4th, 2014.
YOU have the power to rid our government of Bad Bosses like John "B. B." Boehner and bad-boss practices. You must simply care about what is happeing in our government, read everyday to stay informed–ThePoliDay Report is a great place, and most importantly you must VOTE!
Robert Mugabe: Facing the Book of History
Facebook has proven to be worth all of the hype it has earned—it has connected childhood friends, helped friends become lovers, and it has even been a great stage for [healthy] political and historical debates.
My friends of Facebook have contributed to a rich conversation about President Robert Mugabe's latest decision to remove about 35 white landowners from landownership, but not from owning businesses and other properties in the Southeast African nation of Zimbabwe.
According to a July 2014 article called, "Mugabe Orders White Farmers Off Of Land" written by Abena Agyeman Fisher on Face2FaceAfrica, President Mugabe is planning to make major changes in the distribution of land ownership in Zimbabwe. Not everybody is happy about it, and my Facebook friends have a lot to say about it.
Some of them view Mugabe's policies as "ignorant" and they assert that he is no longer the "independence hero" he was once thought to be. In addition, some of them present that he is establishing a "two wrongs make a right precedent" while others maintain that the people of Zimbabwe, represented by the leadership of Robert Mugabe, have a "God-given right to put changes in place…"
Clearly there are no easy solutions to correcting the wrongs of histories past and rightfully so. History is a very convoluted concept of facts, memories, rights and wrongs. It is filled with vantage points, imposters, oppressors, victims and survivors. And ultimately, each of us, whether in positions of power, or as conscious citizens, supports the concept of history we construct and the role we play.
Robert Mugabe is no saint, and of course, like each of us, is a sinner. And now, he will face the book of history for this recent decision and for his legacy of as a leader.
While Mugabe may no longer be a hero to all, he may certainly become one again to many.
One of my commenters wrote the "…sins of the father don't pass on like bank accounts and to attempt to correct historical injustices using today's players sets a bad "two wrongs make a right" precedent."
When the sins involve racial injustice that have been systemically implemented and violently enforced over the course of prejudicial / discriminatory, unjust, inhumane, dehumanizing laws, the posterity (next generations) of the purveyors (creators) of those laws reap the benefits, and the subjects reap the disadvantages of those laws. These sins absolutely pass on like bank accounts. Even worse, most of us, especially when you're on the beneficial end, never question why these sins are so advantageous—it is just passed on as "the way that it is."
And, those in power often run away from explaining the origins of these de facto benefits.
The reality of Zimbabwe is that it is a country that has not resolved its racial and political issues—the roots run deep. The other reality is that the generations of white families that have "owned" its land have done so through illegal occupation. There is no statute of limitations on doing what is right, no matter how many generations pass. The whites of Zimbabwe today are reaping the benefits of the crimes of their ancestors, just like the Africans have reaped the disadvantages of theirs.
Just because the "Star of Africa", the largest diamond ever to be found in the world, has been in possession of England since 1905, does not make England its rightful owner. Because Africa was invaded and illegally occupied by European nations through violent means and war via the Berlin Conference of 1884, none of what Europe has taken in Africa makes Europe Africa's owners. The same is true for the whites in Zimbabwe.
The theft of land is a horribly debilitating offense, and it is directly tied to a people's sustenance, the sustainability of their generations, and acquisition of [future] wealth–ask any of the Blacks that endured Jim Crow America and were forced to abandon their hard-earned, formerly-sharecropped, and former plantation lands in places like Alabama and Mississippi due to vicious, legal and uncontested racial violence; and, without delay, they would attest that their stolen land has created major communal, familial and financial setbacks in their lives. Remember Mose Wright–Emmet Till's uncle that testified against the men that killed is nephew? He was run off of his Mississippi land and there are many more stories like his. He and the others are entitled to reparations.
In his very craftily written article, The Case for Reparations, TaNehisi Coates presented a pristine argument for reparations for Blacks that had been unfairly denied access to wealth-building and the acquisition of property due to Chicago's unfair red-lining and housing laws. These laws were established by an American government that refused to recognize the rights of all of its citizens. Blacks were left out. And, we are entitled to reparations because the policies were wrong.
The whites in Zimbabwe are not entitled to own Zimbabwe's land because the policies that made them "owners" were wrong. The Blacks were denied access to Zimbabwe's land during imperialism, and history has a way of correcting those wrongs. It's called reparations; and, Robert Mugabe is leading that charge for Zimbabwe on his watch.
Over the course of nearly 60 years, Germany has paid some $89 billion in reparations to Holocaust survivors, survivors' children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren–and they've even paid the survivors living in Russian-occupied territories. The policies that savagely killed Holocaust victims and left some scarred for life were wrong; and, the German government of today says that its people are entitled to reparations.
In all issues of race and racial injustice, we must speak plainly, openly and honestly. The whites of Zimbabwe do not "own" the land. No matter how many generations have been on the land, they are in Zimbabwe due to colonial occupation and racial subjugation.
Robert Mugabe does not have all of the answers, but we cannot be so quick to condemn his policies as "ignorant" when they attempt on implement fairness for people for whom justice escaped. If Robert Mugabe is a villain for attempting reparations for his people, then all leaders that correct past wrongs are villains.
There is the implication that once the land gets [back] into the hand of the Zimbabweans that they will be very unproductive with it and the land will lose value because Zimbabweans will not industrialize the land for business. It is the same arguments America used to deny Black Americans access to land, property, politics, and education. The argument is wrong.
I am always intrigued by the use of semantics when there is an examination of white people being governed by the policies of Blacks. Arguments of morality and justice are quickly asserted in their cases whereas Blacks are usually only afforded a legal argument—about laws that are already unjust and immoral.
Robert Mugabe must face the book of history about the legacy of his leadership, and in the meantime, I look forward to reading more about his plan for implementing [land] reparations.
For Harriet …Eric Garner…I'll "March" for Them All.
On July 17th, 2014, some of the summer's sunlight was dimmed by the serious disregard for human life, as demonstrated in the dangerously deviant behavior of New York City Police Department Officers, when they choked and killed 43 year-old, father of six, Mr. Eric Garner on a Staten Island sidewalk. No one came to his aid, but thankfully Ramsey Orta's video footage made all of us eye witnesses to the killing of Eric Gardener.
We have witnessed yet another man's life and character be put on trial as justification for why his verdict was death (Eric Garner was allegedly selling illegal cigarettes which is why the officers initially accosted him).
Since he is no more, I will "march" for Eric Garner to ensure that justice reigns supreme to thwart the supremacy of violence and -isms that tend to menace too many members of law enforcement.
And, summertime violence is nothing new and neither is using deadly force to prevent groups of people from obtaining a suitable or better quality of life. One has to go back only 95 years to the year 1919, historically labeled the"Red Summer" in which strings of violent, race riots broke out all over the nation-Chicago, Washington D.C, and Arkansas were the bloodiest as our nation's streets ran red. These riots resulted as racism and violent supremacy reared their ugly heads and reduced the behavior of whites to the lowest depths of hate and inhumanity—too many became murderers without conviction in an attempt to mark territories that simply did not solely belong to a white populace, but to all Americans.
With the close of World War I (WWI), the continual presence of African Americans moving to Northern and Midwestern cities to fill vacancies that resulted from WWI during the Great Migration, and employment competition and shortages, the summer of 1919 was an inferno of vile, vicious behavior that kept America divided, devoid of summertime joy and worse, red.
The primary victims of this summertime violence? Hard-working, Black men providing for the families they had or the families they would soon produce when the means and mediums afforded them the ability.
But they weren't the only ones.
While most of us think that we know all there is to know about the life of Harriet Tubman, a supreme Queen, what most of us don't know is that Harriet Tubman was also the victim of choking by a train's conductor, an authority figure of the day, as she traveled from Philadelphia to New York in 1865. In American Legacy Magazine's summer 2004 issue, according to writer Marc Ferris, Mrs. Tubman carried a soldier's pass, which she likely gained from her second husband Mr. Nelson Davis who fought in the Civil War, when she boarded this Northern train. Assuming that her pass was stolen or forged, the conductor asked her to abandon her seat, but Mrs. Tubman refused and called the conductor a racist scoundrel. The conductor then proceeded to choke her, two other men jumped in and all three of these men scuffled with the defenseless, 48-year old woman, Mrs. Tubman. As a result, she suffered a broken arm and bruised ribs. No one came to her aid.
Because she is no more, but clearly used her strong-willed and divinely-blessed life to challenge racism, sexism and other societal ills, I will "march" for her to ensure that our 21st Century society understands how deeply entrenched racially and power-induced violence is in our nation.
We cannot afford to pick and choose the violent law-enforcement violations and occurrences for which we stand and the ones we ignore. We have to be vigilant against them all. On July 1st, 2014 David Diaz captured video footage of a California Highway Patrol where he mercilessly and savagely beat a bare-foot African American grandmother, Marlene Pinnock, on a highway's median. No one came to her aid.
In an October 25th, address delivered in 1865 in front of the Colored Man's Convention of Indiana, of Masonic Hall, John Mercer Langston, Virginia State University's first President and an American legislator stated:
It's time the summer reflected the yellow light of the rising sun for all Americans, rather than the reddened tint of a setting one for some.
For Harriet …Eric Garner…I'll march for them all.
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursed lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen! We must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death blow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

Favre has downplayed the hype surrounding him and Pennington, saying its not him versus Chad, but rather the Jets versus the Dolphins.
Miami is preaching that this season is a new beginning of Dolphins football. Fins fans had better hope so, being the dismal 1-15 campaign suffered last year. Either way, both teams are looking to turn things around in 2008.
Jets Head Coach Eric Mangini pointed out that the Dolphins are not going to be an easy opponent.
I think theyve got an excellent running game. I think the offensive line is doing a really nice job, especially considering having those two young players on the offensive line, Mangini said.
He was talking about rookie G Donald Thomas and rookie T Jake Long. According to Dolphins Head Coach Tony Sparano, Long has been doing nothing but improving.
Little by little hes made pretty good gains with the people that hes had to play against every single week. Every week theres been something to learn. Ive been pleased with what hes done, Sparano said after a Dolphins pre-season game.
With Jake Long providing protection on the line for Pennington, he should have a decent amount of time to throw to WR Ted Ginn. As of August 28, Ricky Williams was on the top of the depth chart at running back, but he should be expected to share carries with Ronnie Brown, who according to Williams was possibly the best running back in the first half of last season.
Brown rushed for 602 yards and five touchdownsfour rushing, one receivinglast season. With a bolstered line, and the pressure taken off him from sharing his time in the backfield, expect Brown to go for a grand this year.
First, though, the former Auburn back will have to get through Gang Greens defense. Newly acquired LB Calvin Pace will look to help slow down Miamis running game. Inside linebacker David Harris led linebackers last year with 77 tackles, and with DE Shaun Ellis and NT Kris Jenkins up front, expect plenty of pressure.
Put simply, the Jets are ready for this.
Were very anxious. Weve had a great preseason. Weve been coming together well as a team. Obviously you get tired of hitting the same guys in practice every day. Now, its actually for real and were excited about it, RB Thomas Jones said.
Sure, the Jets are lining up against a familiar face, but DB Darrrelle Revis noted that its a different Chad.
Hes in a new offense now so its going to be different. Were not looking at the New York Jets Chad Pennington. Were going to be looking at the Miami Dolphins Chad Pennington. Its different.
Jets O vs. Dolphins D
The Dolphins defense took a hit with the loss of Jason Taylor, but Miami returns its top three leading tacklers. Inside linebacker Channing Crowder led the Fins with 78 in 2007, while LB Joey Porter had 65 and CB Will Allen acquired 62. Something worthy of note is the familiarity Jets OL Alan Faneca should have with Porter. They played together in Pittsburgh two years ago. The tackle opposite Faneca is Damien Woody, who helps bolster an offensive line that until now was in desperate need. The Dolphins may be a new team, but make no mistake about it, the Dolphins havent gotten that much better in one off-season. Since hes not fully comfortable yet, Favre will have to improvise, something at which hes very good.
Advantage: Jets
Jets D vs. Dolphins O
There are a lot of question marks surrounding Miamis offense. Sure, Chad Pennington is a solid starting QB with a smart head on his shoulders, but how protected that head will be against his former team is the issue. Nick Mangold said how much trouble NT Kris Jenkins gave him during training camp, so Dolphins center Samson Satele should expect hell from New Yorks 3-4 scheme. DBs Darrelle Revis and Kerry Rhodes have got to be licking their chops against a quarterback that theyve casually faced hundreds of times.
Advantage: Jets
Special Teams
After his preseason collapse against Washington when he missed not one, but two field goals that could have either tied or won the game for the Jets, K Mike Nugent certainly has a lot to prove. Leon Washington has looked solid returning kicks for Gang Green, but Ted Ginn is not someone to take lightly, especially now that hes an NFL sophomore. K Jay Feelys contract was terminated, and rookie K Dan Carpenter has to figure to be Nugents inferior.
Advantage: Jets
Key to Victory
Down in Miami, its going to be hot. Whichever team can stay up in the heat definitely holds the edge. Looking at Xs and Os though, its going to come down to whichever quarterback is more comfortable in his new system. Since hes admitted to not being totally comfortable, it is fortunate for Jets fans that Brett Favre is good at improvising.
The air attack between these two teams is something to hype up, but in this match up, it may be overrated. Favre should throw at least a touchdown, but two interceptions can be expected as well. Watch for Thomas Jones (1119 yards in 2007) and Leon Washington (3 rushing and 3 kick return touchdowns in 2007) to be the difference makers for New York along with Gang Green's defense.

Well, $50 is too much for my blood unless my dad really wants to go, and wants to pay for it.
Yeahhhh I'm going to have to pass also... I'd want to go, but can't convince my crew really. It's expensive as well...
NVM just found it on the page after looking harder.. lol. Just woke up, working late destroys my sleep schedule. I'm staying at the super 8 right next to the pick up for the party bus, LOL. Gonna try to convince my friends to do that.
Marina District is a neighborhood bordered on the South by Lombard Street, on the North by the bay shore, the Presidio (the park) on the West, and Van Ness on the East. It has some fun bars, but you have to be okay with bros.
From Fisherman's Wharf, you'd probably be best taking the 47 or 19 south to Civic Center and taking the official OSL shuttle from there. Or you could just cab it there, but getting back will be a royal pain.
EDIT: sounds like you're closer to the Republic after all. Have fun!
Hey guys,
My friend ended up not being able to go. If I can't sell it to another friend, I'm willing to sell it here. Its a three day pass so if anyone is interested, message me tommorow and we can meet up at the main gate on Friday.
Looks like we're taking the party bus Friday, lots of alcohol will be consumed.
is this the party bus you're talking about? i might do this too... hm http://www.pinchit.com/deals/1347/ou...ands-party-bus
edit: because it looks like shuttle passes have sold out, at least i can't pull one
ehhhhhhh nvm, gonna take the 5 and hope for the best

Did Muni do a "5L" bus last year? That's a nice addition to the transit routes. Should be quite a bit faster than taking the normal 5 and since it ends right at the place you need to get off for OSL, there is no chance of missing your stop.
Is anyone interested in just selling Sunday to me? Also, will there be some sort of bar-get-together in the city before the fest? Not pointing any fingers but.... D$ where are you my little creme puff?!!?!

The Epic Racefail of The Last Airbender
Please take a moment to read Ellen Oh's blog: http://elloecho.blogspot.com/2010/02/whitewashing-is-racist.html
Here's a brief excerpt: The movie has been completely whitewashed so that the rich culture of Asia that made the television series so wonderful is now represented by white actors. I can't help but wonder what this really means. I'm sad for my children who were shocked to hear that Asian faces weren't good enough to portray an Asian character. I'm sad for this culture that devalues the contributions of their Asian citizens. They believed that to make Airbender more relatable to the white majority, they needed to put white faces in Asian roles. At least the original casting of Prince Zuko with Jessie McCartney was replaced by Dev Patel. But notice the one main Asian actor happens to be the role of the antagonist.
People, this insanity has to stop. If you're an author or artist, don't be so quick to sign your rights away, I beg you. More often than not, there will be no diversity in the casting unless and until we speak out, we meaning the creators of projects. If anyone tells you Hollywood casts white because that's all audiences want to see, call them on it (maybe its all THEY want to see). This is both a tragedy and a travesty….

The flight departed Key West, Florida, for Leesburg, Florida, under night, visual meteorological conditions. As the pilot established radio contact with air traffic control (ATC), the airplane entered restricted area R-2916 without clearance, where a Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) was on station. ATC attempted to inform the pilot that R-2916 was active. The airplane collided with the aerostat tether at 4,533 feet. According to information obtained from Naval Air Station Key West, the accident airplane departed from Key West international Airport on runway 27, then turned to an easterly heading, and was last seen on radar as it merged with the aerostat. At the time of the accident the airplane had been in radio communications contact with Federal Aviation Administration Miami Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), and according to an official at the Miami ARTCC, the pilot had been informed of the restricted area at Cudjoe Key. A video record from the camera mounted on the TARS flight control building, which monitors the aerostat while aloft, showed the aerostat's position lights operating, and at 2312:55, the video record showed the position lights of the accident airplane as it approached the tether. The video record showed the airplane striking the tether, entering a spin, and descending uncontrolled. Witnesses reported that the airplane collided with the tether, a wing separated, and the airplane tumbled into the water. According to the flight director's log, the log entry directly preceding the accident showed no irregularities. Examination of the wreckage did not reveal any evidence of a mechanical malfunction or failure.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Nashville police have arrested a teenager in the death of a Tennessee State University student.
Officers arrested 18-year-old Marquez Mallard on a city street Tuesday night. A news release from the police department says Mallard had an unloaded semi-automatic pistol.
He's charged in the shooting death of Jonathan Finley. The 24-year-old Finley was with two other men in a sport utility vehicle when they reported seeing a burglar coming from a home on Oct. 27. They drove away, but police say the intruder -- identified as Mallard -- fired several shots at the SUV, killing Finley.
Mallard is held on charges of criminal homicide, aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, auto theft and unlawful weapon possession by a convicted felon.

An Iowa woman who punished her 22-month-old son by briefly running a clothes dryer with him inside has pleaded guilty.
Mallory Hakes of Mason City was sentenced on Monday to a year of probation and a suspended sentence of a year in jail. She pleaded guilty to misdemeanor child endangerment.
According to police, in December Hakes' son crawled into the dryer in the home's basement to hide. The child wasn't injured when Hakes briefly turned on the dryer.
In court Hakes said she wasn't angry at her son but was trying to teach the boy not to climb into the dryer.
The Iowa Department of Human Services removed the boy from her
care, and Hakes is taking parenting classes.

Malone Cabin Rental Photos and Description
2 bedrooms, 1 bath, sleeps 6
Classic adirondack log cabin with mountain views and lakefront living. Large stone fireplace in the living room, waterfront, screened porch, canoe from your own dock on 6 private acres. Have breakfast in the fully functional kitchen; refrigerator, phone, microwave, coffee maker with pots, pans, dishes. The new gas grill is ideal for a cookout. Loft, sleeper sofa, log bed in master bedroom and bathroom. Watch Satellite TV, DVD movies or sit outside on your classic Adirondack chairs by the campfire and watch the stars.
Surrounded by the sounds of nature you will be reminded that you do have neighbors - loons, ducks, Blue Heron, etc.., Completely private on 6+ acres with 400 feet of waterfront. In the summer pick blueberries down by the dock or across the road. Plenty of dirt roads leading right from the cabin are well suited for hiking, nature walking or biking to discover the beauty and wilderness of Adirondack Park.
The Lakes: Mountain view lake is a small private quiet mountain lake home to beavers, ducks and loons. Canoe via a channel and discover Indian Lake. Indian Lake is bigger and better suited for swimming, and tubing. Both lakes offer lots of fishing opportunities; perch, pike and small-mouth bass. Small kids will enjoy the sandy beach area with a wade in point on Indian Lake while older kids (including our labs) have been known to jump right from the cabin's private dock. Both lakes are about 3 miles long -Mt. View is narrow and Indian Lake is wide. The lakes are connected and offer fishing opportunities with small motors, kayaks, canoe, or rowboats.
There are lots of bigger lakes nearby: Meacham Lake, Saranac Lake, Lake Plaid, Mirror Lake, etc.., Fly fishing is renowed at Salmon River. Deer River flow only 20 minutes away offers abundant wildlife, large pike, easy canoe launch and even some trout! Enjoy the St. Regis canoe area and make sure to bring the camera.
The Mountains: Hiking, walking, biking, jogging, running. Whatever you can do with a mountain the Adirondacks is the place to do it. Hike Debar Mountain at Meacham Lake Campground or hike to the top of Azure Mt. with the working firetower but make sure you 'take a rock to the top' to prevent wind erosion. Look for soaring hawks and spectacular views of the St. Regis Canoe area. Dauphin Nature park is only .25 miles from the cabin's front door and offers lots of hiking opportunities without the drive. Paul Smith's Visitor Center offers hiking and walking opportunities for all levels from a climb up Jenkins Mountains to wide dirt paths for toddlers.
The fall is a spectacular time of the year. The Adirondack mountains are encased in autumn splendor and nature is a master artist with a variety of colors; gold, red, orange, etc.... Visit the High Peaks in Keene Valley and be prepared to fall in love!
The cabin: Where do you go to relax? No work, no traffic, no cell phones and no stress. The only thing you have to do is what you want. Build a fire, grab a blanket and listen to the distinct sound of each raindrop while you relax, read or take a nap. Get dressed and get that heart pumping with a challenging hike. Look for wildlife while you hop on the bike or grab the fishing rod and reel in some fun. Rediscover your own voice in nature's golden silence.
Build an outside fire and toast the smores! Throw a log on the indoor fireplace, play cards, watch a movie or look for stars in the nighttime sky. Stay up late and let your body's alarm clock wake you. Snuggle up next to the fire, partner or family pet. Canoe, kayak or take a dip from the dock. You decide! The most important thing to spend is your time. You won't remember the minutes just the moments. Enjoy each moment with yourself or with your family at the cabin on the lake in the mountains.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
- wheelchair inaccessible
Guestbook comments from the manager
We encourage our guests to provide comments on this online guestbook. We have a guestbook at the cabin as well and we read every comment. We found many useful suggestions including favorite local hikes, swimming holes and critter sightings. We really do learn alot and appreciate the feedback. We want our guests to enjoy being at an authentic ADK log cabin with their family including those with 4 legs (we have two labs!). There is lots of privacy, peace and natural beauty all around. We supply the cabin, lake, dock, firewood and some outside chairs and you make the memories!!

but felt like middle aged at 30, back problems , shoulder problems and massive leg problem.
I feel 90, oh and a few days by a swimming pool and having to don the dreaded swimsuit was a real wake up call, Like never go away in a warm climate, covering up is far better for spectators eyesight.
Then you realise that all the body etching you had when you were younger does not quite look the same now, especially as I'm pretty covered in the stuff
Give me 30 years of age any day of the week at least everything was in the right place more or less, rather than everything gone south. Breastfeeding may be good for baby so they told me but not for my figure

Finley Stadium executive director Merrill Eckstein will announce today that the Stadium Corp. had a surplus of $46,846 for the 2011-12 fiscal year that ended June 30.
Eckstein had projected in mid June that the surplus would be around $50,000, but he will provide the exact figure at today's scheduled Stadium Corp. quarterly meeting. The total is a record surplus and the second consecutive surplus following a $19,900 gain in 2010-11.
"Everything went along well all year," Eckstein said. "We had mild weather, and we did a good job of conserving our dollars -- basically keeping energy costs down by turning things off when they should be turned off."
Eckstein said it's way too early to draw comparisons with the 2012-13 fiscal year under way, but a soccer exhibition in July and last Thursday's football game between UTC and Glenville State have produced two crowds close to 10,000. This week has two marquee events with Baylor-McCallie on Friday night and UTC-Appalachian State on Saturday night.

The internets are abuzz with word that the recent partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Renault may allow the the long dead Smart Roadster to be revived. The folks at Autocar report that a source within Smart says the company has had its eyes on bringing the roadster back to market for awhile now. Evidently, the purveyor of pint-sized transportation is interested in branching out from its city car roots – something that the recent partnership with Renault just might facilitate. Renault has a host of experience producing inexpensive small cars that Smart just might be able to capitalize on.
Autocar doesn't say exactly which Renault model Smart would use as the basis for the reborn Roadster, but there is some indication that other products may be part of the company's plans as well. The article even made mention of a potential Mini Countryman competitor, meaning that Smart is eying jumping into the CUV fray. Either way, any new blood in the Smart portfolio is bound to help. With fuel prices down, American buyers aren't interested in making the kind of sacrifices that the ForTwo requires, but an ultra-compact convertible? That has some potential.

The U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship is an annual ATP Tour tennis tournament that started in 1910. It is the last remaining ATP Tour-level tournament in the United States to be played on clay courts.
The tournament began in 1910 when the Western Lawn Tennis Association (a section of the United States Lawn Tennis Association now known as the USTA/Midwest) lobbied the USLTA that a National Clay Court Championship would help promote the establishment of more clay courts in the West. Clay courts were more economical to install and maintain than grass courts, and the hope was that the lower costs associated with court construction would allow for a more rapid expansion of the game. The first National Clay Court Championships were held at the Omaha Field Club with a crowd of 5,000 watching the finals. Participation and play on clay grew as a result of the event and others, and in 1914 the event was moved to the Cincinnati Tennis Club. It has since been played in numerous cities and is today held in Houston, Texas. Between 1970 and 1989 it was part of the Grand Prix Tennis Tour as part of the Grand Prix Championship Series of events (1970-1986).
The event was held at the Houston Westside Tennis Club from 2001-07. On May 8, 2007, the U.S. Tennis Association announced that the River Oaks Country Club in the River Oaks neighborhood would host the tournament starting in 2008, which will keep the event in Houston for several years. Other cities that competed for the event were Atlanta, Georgia, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The tournament pays out US$500,000 with the winner receiving US$79,000.[1] The River Oaks venue features a stadium with seating for 3,000. Temporary seating for 500 will be installed for the second court.[2]
In 2007, after a few years being held on the same red clay used at the French Open, the event was held on Har-Tru green clay. In 2008, the event went to a maroon color of Har-Tru clay as the River Oaks Country Club renovated their courts in 2005. After renovating their courts again in late 2008, the surface remained the same.

Pistorious murder trial resumes in Pretoria
By Hassan Isilow, Tuesday, March 04, 2014
PRETORIA – The trial of South Africa`s internationally-recognized Paralympian Oscar Pistorious on charges of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine`s Day of last year resumed in Pretoria on Thursday.
The defense team is cross-examining Michelle Burger, the first state witness in the high-profile case.
Burger, a University of Pretoria lecturer and a state witness, testified Monday against the sports icon.
She gave the court chilling descriptions of screams she reportedly heard on the night Steenkamp was killed.
The witness, who spoke a mixture of English and Afrikaans, one of South Africa`s official languages, said she had never met the sports icon in person.
Defense lawyer Barry Roux asked Burger today how sure was she that it was a woman who was screaming when she reportedly heard the screams.
Burger insisted that she heard a woman screaming followed by four gun shots.
State Prosecutor Gerriel Nel cautioned the media against showing faces of witnesses, saying the face of Burger had been shown on a local TV channel.
There were few people outside the court room because of the morning rain in Pretoria, compared to Monday when the trial first opened.
Pistorious has pleaded not guilty to all four charges leveled against him, including the murder of Steenkamp at his Pretoria home.
He insists he shot at the bathroom door of his home, thinking an intruder had entered the house and not realizing his model girlfriend was inside.
Popularly known as the "Blade Runner," Pistorious was born without the fibulas in both of his legs. Before he was one year old, he had to have both lower limbs amputated.
In 2004, he rose to fame at the age of 17 after winning a gold medal at the Athens Paralympics Games. The sprinter has since gone on to win several other medals.
Pistorious made history in 2012 by becoming the first amputee runner to compete in the Olympics.

Cris Carter, Chris Doleman Named Semifinalists For HOF Class Of 2012Posted by on November 25, 2011 – 10:23 am
Two former Vikings teammates are among the 26 semifinalists being considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2012. Cris Carter and Chris Doleman, teammates in Minnesota from 1990-93, '99, are among a deep class of semifinalists for inclusion in next year's class. Both Carter and Doleman were also semifinalists and finalists a year ago.
To view a list of the semifinalists, click here.
The Hall of Fame's Selection Committee chose the 26 semifinalists from the previously announced list of 105 preliminary nominees. The list of 26 semifinalists will be reduced by mail ballot to 15 modern-era finalists (plus 2 nominees from the Seniors Committee), with an announcement of the finalists to come in early January 2012.
The final step comes on February 4, 2012, when the 44-member Selection Committee meets in person to discuss and evaluate the merits of each of the 15 modern-era and the two senior candidates. An independent accounting firm tallies the voting that day to determine the new class of enshrinees.
Although there is no set number of Enshrinees for any Hall of Fame Class, the Pro Football Hall of Fame's current ground rules do stipulate that between four and seven new members will be selected each year. No more than 5 modern-era nominees can be elected in a given year.

Okay, so I'm a little bit nuts!~~~
But our Vikings administrators need HELP!
By Frederick Jones on Nov 25, 2011 | Reply
Building a football team is a little like building a fire:
We have our big logs in Adrian Peterson and Jared Allen.
We have our slightly smaller wood as in Percy Harvin.
But if you put to much of that big wood on the fire all at once you won't be
able to build any fire at all.
That's what we have right now, administrators fighting to put on the big wood.
To build this team we need a GENERAL MANAGER (FIRE BUILDER) to
control what goes on the fire!
to be continued….

Back to Building a Fire:
If you are the Packers or some other winning team, you have a roaring fire, and do not have to worry too much about adding BIG WOOD. (Don't worry…fires do go out and then the Packers have a chance to falter.)
NOW you need a SPARK to start a fire…this could be Ponder or the Head Coach or even the GENERAL MANAGER.
You must have paper or some other very flammable material. The Vikings certainly have that!!!
What is missing is the SMALL WOOD or KINDLING to keep a consistent fire going so we can start the BIG WOOD.
What is the KINDLING? It is the positions MOST administrators ignore or think they can TRAIN…lol x 3000! Special teams players, Offensive Linemen, and Defensive Backs. THEY ARE THE KINDLING WHICH MAKES THE fire GO!
YA SEE…If you have too much BIG WOOD you will smother the FIRE!
(UNLESS you are a winning team (HUGE FIRE) Then the more wood the better!
By Frederick Jones on Nov 25, 2011 | Reply
Admittedly this is not a perfect analogy.
But the Vikings had and still try to put TOO MUCH BIG WOOD ON THE FIRE.
Example: Randy Moss. Randy will not tolerate a loser. Hence he was a very big
piece of wood that helped smother our fire.
Did the Head Coach have input on the Randy Moss trade? I doubt it.
Rudolph and Gerhart are potentially BIG WOOD. But first we must have the kindling to get them going!!!

Fred, we get your point. You are highly critical of the Wilfs. No need to spam every single blog with it.

THat's Fred for you. He's bent on spamming these blogs with the same posts over and over again, questioning the leadership of the team. Somehow he seems to think it will have an effect…as if owners will read the blogs if he complains enough…or if other fans will join his cause and find a way to do something effective if they read the same whining complaints enough times…

Carter's abrasive personality is why he keeps not getting in the Hall.

I refuse to recognize the validity of the NFL Hall of Fame as long as Cris Carter is not part of it. The only reason he did not own most receiving records was because the greatest player in NFL history already had them.

Cris Carter should have went in last year! He was better than some of those that went in last year!!
