Ok, now that we have the 2012/13 rankings and projections for the Top 25 Overall Players for fantasy basketball in the can, let's move onto the next group, the top 50! There are a lot of guys I love in this group and who I would have liked to get into the top 25 but, hey, there are only 25 spots in the top 25. Right? Rhetorical! As a reminder, don't forget the cool little Printer Friendly button at the bottom of each post. You can use it to print out the rankings and projections and read them in the bathroom while you're doing whatever it is you do in there. Oh, Lebron! Ok, let's get to it, shall we? 26.

Is Nike tennis fading away?
At least on the men's line. 2 slams in row without Fedal and no sight of Nike in the finals.
If Rafa is not back in form for the FO we'll probably see another non-Nike player lifting the RG trophy.
Think a little larger here. The 20th century was the American Century. At least the first half of the 21st is about China. Nike will not disappear, but will recede into the crowd with others, including Chinese brands such as Li-Ning and others yet to come.
Sorry, Li Ning is not there yet. Their overall price - quality ratio is not any better (and slightly less quality overall last time I checked).
I am talking about marketing and stars endorsement here. Nike is still in No.1 position overall but they can't rely on luck to pick the next big star, or end up having to pay big bucks to lure one over.
^^ think LARGER, pretend you're martini10. Sure they're not there yet, but eventually they will be.
Nike and Adidas will rule all sports all the time for a long long time. Li Na wears Nike. Cilic wears Li Ning. Li Ning doesn't have trillions of tennis camps or top endorsements or anything. There is no way that Nike is fading from tennis.
nike isn't going anywhere. the company dominates market share and their endorsement portfolio includes the two biggest stars in the game and no other company has threatened their grip on the game for nearly two decades. visibility is clearly not an issue for them.
Wait, weren't BOTH finalists wearing Nike - Azarenka and Li Na?
Nike's losing major ground. Fed and Nadal are not going to be in many more major finals which is the most exposure for the brands. Also, Nike's investments in the next wave - Dimitrov, Harrison and Tomic has so far not paid off, or even come close.
Expect Nike to make a big push for Djokovic.
No I think they are going to make a big push when nadal comes back and in 2014
People said the same thing when Jordan retired, theres always the next star (and I don't even like Nike).
And Nike b-ball is the most powerful marketing machine in the world. Nike tennis is slightly different. And no "the next super star" in sight coming up in the next 3-4 yrs. Most of the players got slam final potential are non-Nike players. Again, men's side.
As for women's line, it is a complete different market mentality. A few rich club players would buy their fashion centric dresses, but yet I do not see the majority buying the star featured dresses at all. They wear shorts or tight yoga outfit. And contrary to men, they do not wear tennis shirts as daily wear from my experience. Just like very few women would wear sports jersey to go out.
In many places women's nike/adidas would go on sale year round while some men's shoes are fixed priced until they are truly close to end of the season.
speaking of Air Jordan, was Kuznetsova sporting Air Jordan blue tennis outfit last week in Melbourne? It sure looked like the Air Jordan logo on her attire.

1 Sets of Cruz Schild Cosplay Costume, Wig, Props and Accessories
Cruz Schild is a young boy whose older sister Aruka was presumably killed by a Testament. He is a bit of a wimp, but has a certain strength to him. He was very attached to Aruka and speaks to her in his thoughts as well as carrying around a pendent with her picture. He is often used as a sort of gopher by the other team members, most notably Blade and Eve. He is the only known survivor during the rebellion against Simeon. Even though he is powerless, his intelligence makes up for it. This is proven when he helps Eve defeat Uten and subsequently in the battle with the Simeon Girl Squad in Simeon.

Application without forms.
One type of 'application without forms', is using the
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE} setting to replace the default
{$APPTYPE GUI}. When using
Write and
WriteLn the output is sent to a command prompt box, either the one the application was started in, or a new one if the application is started from the graphical environment ( GUI).
If no commant prompt window is needed, and all you need is your exe running, you really end up with an application without forms. If you open the project source (the .dpr file) from the menu: Project > View Source, or with Ctrl+F12, you will see these lines:
Application.Initialize calls initialization some units require to be done right before the application starts, e.g. when using COM objects.
Application.Run loops until the application is terminated, and processes incoming windows messages. If you add forms or datamodules,
Application.CreateForm calls are added inbetween these two.
Sometimes, when using an application without forms, you get a button on the taskbar anyway. This is done every time
Application.Handle is used, e.g. when using
Application.MessageBox. If you don't want this, you might consider not using Application (if you don't include the Forms unit in the project the final exe-file could be much smaller!) but that might create a number of other problems. Another solution is this code, executed in the start-up code.
By using the Handle property, the task-bar button is created, and by using the Windows function
ShowWindow you can hide this button without changing the internal states of the Application object.
This task-bar button actually has a seperate right-click menu only with options Restore, Minimize and Close, that tie in to the Application object, which is different to the default right-click menu (SystemMenu) that has Move and Resize also. To have a taskbar-button for each window, see the CreateParams trick.

Originally written on The Giants Cove | Last updated 11/15/14
With contract extensions completed for General Manager Brian Sabean and Manager Bruce Bochy through 2013, the San Francisco Giants' management group is now free to fully concentrate another extension: playing baseball deep into October 2012.And that brings us to two related areas of interest: the team's 2012 payroll budget, and the final 2012 25-man roster might look like. The first thing to understand about the Giants 2012 payroll "budget" is that it has virtually nothing to do with which players should be signed, whether or not more offense is needed, or any other on field consideration. That payroll figure is simply part of the team's overall projected expenditures for 2012, like purchasing toner for the office copy machines or the cost to keep the turf at AT&T Park in tip top shape. Among other things.In October 2011 the Giants announced their 2012 payroll "budget" would be $124 million. In November, the month that follows right after October, soon to be CEO Larry Baer stat...

Online Job Search Guides
All of Job-Hunt's Guides are FREE for any job seeker to use. Each Guide is comprised of articles on a specific job search topic: resumes, job interviews, LinkedIn, and more than forty other topics.
Expert Advice in Job-Hunt's Guides
Reader's Digest describes Job-Hunt.Org as "vacuum-packed with solid advice." The Guides described (and linked) below will make it clear why that description fits.
Each Guide is written by one or more experts in that field. These experts constantly contribute articles critical to successful job search. Scroll down to find the Guides divided into topic and sub-topics.
Guides to Online Job Search Tools
In the last few years, technology has dramatically changed how employers find and hire employees. And, those changes in recruiting have impacted job search in ways that job seekers have never seen before.
Understanding the new technology, from how to use Google and social media (particularly LinkedIn) to effectively using job boards and even email, is essential now. These links take you to Job-Hunt Guides on those topics:
Online Job Search Tutorial
This tutorial walks you through the basics of finding a job online.
Guide to Finding Jobs Online
This Guide shows where jobs are posted online.
Guide to Personal SEO
This Guide helps you understand how important "search engine optimization" (SEO) is to a modern job search. Learn what your keywords are, and where (and how) to make them visible to recruiters, employers, and other potential members of your network.
Guide to Social Media & Job Search
This Guide gives you an over-view of the major current social media networks and how you can leverage them for your job search.
Guide to Using LinkedIn for Job Search
LinkedIn is, by far, the dominant social network for professionals managing their careers as well as looking for new jobs.
Guide to Google Plus for Job Search
Since G+ is owned by Google, G+ offers you an excellent opportunity to tell Google what you want it to show recruiters, potential employers, and new networking contacts. This Guide shows you how to make yourself positively visible in Google.
Guide to Facebook for Job Search
Facebook can be very effective for job search. It can also be very damaging. This Guide helps you leverage Facebook for positive results in your job search.
Guide to Twitter Job Search
Twitter can be an excellent source of job leads for the employers and fields you follow. Twitter can also be very helpful in identifying good contacts and expanding your network.
Guide to Personal Branding
Like personal SEO (above), personal branding is a new necessity for both your career and your job search. This Guide helps you understand the basic concept and also to discover/develop your personal brand, plus where and how to make it visible so that it helps your job search.
Free ebooks about personal branding -
Personal Branding and Your LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn is a very important tool for building your personal brand. Particularly if you are an executive, this ebook helps you leverage your personal brand using LinkedIn.
Personal Marketing Plan
This ebook helps you to pull all of the pieces together to create a solid personal brand and then to leverage social media to make progress in your job search.
Guide to Using Google for Your Job Search
Google offers job seekers many tools to help them manage their job hunting, and this Guide explains how to use those tools successfully, starting with more effective search queries and including Google Plus.
Guide to Internet Resumes
Resumes used on the Internet are different from pre-Internet resumes because they are public, often visible by anyone who wants to look at them. That visibility creates new needs for privacy protection as well as employment protection since employers are often suspicious of employees who are obviously job hunting. This Guide helps you understand the issues and adjust your approach accordingly.
Guide to Email for Job Search
Email is essential for communication now, but it can cause problems and cost opportunities if used inappropriately in a job search. This Guide shows you how to use email most effectively in your job search.
Guide to Job Boards
From Indeed.com (today's largest source of job postings in the world) to Craigslist's local online classified, job boards are everywhere. Some are excellent, some are not particularly useful, and some are downright dangerous (or, simply scams). This Guide helps you analyze job boards and use them appropriately, particularly Indeed and Craigslist.
Free ebooks about using job boards -
Choosing Safe Job Boards
Not every job board is useful. Some are scams and some are ineffective. This Guide explains how to evaluate job boards, separating the good ones from the useless and/or dangerous.
Using Craigslist for Job Search
Craigslist can be a wonderful source of local jobs, no matter where you are in the world. Jobs are posted by many medium and small employers -- jobs you won't find posted elsewhere -- and also by many large employers. But, you do need to be cautious using Craigslist. The Guide offers tips on leveraging Craigslist for your job search as well as how to spot and avoid scams.
Guides to Traditional Job Search Process and Tools
While technology has had an enormous impact, resumes are still very important, and job interviews usually clinch the job offer (when done well). Also smart job seekers understand what recruiters want, how to leverage temporary employment effectively, successfully navigate the job search process, and much more. Read these Guides to catch up on what is most effective now:
Guide to Getting Started with Your Job Search
This Guide provides the foundation for moving ahead with your job search, helping you understand all of the different aspects of it, including the process and the tools you can use to succeed.

Guide to Successful Job Interviews
While an effective resume gets you a job interview, the job interview is the make-or-break event that may land you the job. Or not. This Guide helps you answer the common job interview questions and also helps you understand the process from beginning to end.
Free ebook about job interviews:
Successful Job Interviewing
Written by a recruiter, this ebook helps you effectively prepare for your job interviews.

Guide to Temporary Employment
Often temporary employment is a necessity. It can also be a great way to check out an employer while you "audition" for a permanent job. And, for many, it is a convenient way to earn an income without an endless commitment to a single employer. This Guide helps you be a successful temporary worker.
Guide to Job Search Navigation
A job search (and a career) require navigation to be successful. In this Guide, learn how to navigate your way to a job.
Understanding Employers --
Understanding what's happening on the "other side" of the hiring process is key to being successful in your job search.
Guide to Working with Recruiters
Recruiters are key players in any job search because they are usually the people who manage the process. Working well with them is not optional, and this ebook, written by a recruiter, will help you understand their perspective and work with them successfully.
Guide to Your Best Job Search Mindset
Employers have a different view of the job search process than most job seekers do, naturally. This ebook offers you the employer's perspective -- of you and your actions.
Guide to Guerrilla Job Search
Some job seekers are successful because they take a different route to a job. This Guide offers some ideas for standing out from the crowd in your job search.
Guide to Avoiding Online Job Search Hazards
Unfortunately, new technology has created some new hazards, like protecting your privacy, job hunting without getting fired, and managing your online reputation. Old hazards have morphed into new versions, particularly related to scam jobs, scam job boards, and employer identity theft. These Job-Hunt Guides will help you navigate some tricky waters around those topics:
Guide to Protecting Your Privacy
In an online job search, smart job seekers take precautions to protect their privacy. This Guide explains why and how to do that.
Guide to Avoiding Job Scams
Unfortunately, people in a job search are exposed to a number of scams, and without knowing what you might be facing and how many of the scams operate, you can be badly hurt by them. So, read this Guide to understand how to spot and avoid online scams in your job search.
Guide to Online Reputation Management
Employers and recruiters use the Internet's search capabilities to research potential job candidates. What they find can make the difference between being considered for a job and being ignored. So, today, online reputation management is really not optional. This Guide offers the why and how to protect your reputation online.
Guide to a Stealthy Job Search
Employers are not usually happy to discover that an employee is job hunting. Often, that employee loses their job immediately or has a very uncomfortable discussion with their boss. Unfortunately, today, it is easy for employers to discover that an employee is job hunting. This Guide offers help to avoid that situation.
Guides for Handling Job Loss
Job loss is tough, regardless of the cause. These Job-Hunt Guides provide you with help recovering from layoffs as well as being fired:
Guide to Job Loss Recovery
Losing your job can be a very big blow to both your confidence and your bank account. Successfully handling that blow can make the difference between a short and a longer job search. This Guide offers you help recovering from job loss.
Guide to Layoff Recovery
A layoff is a job loss that is not usually related to employee performance. Someone is laid off typically simply because they are in the wrong department or job at the wrong time (when the department or job are being reduced). This Guide helps you successfully recover.
Free ebook about layoffs:
Guide to Layoff Self-Defense
Smart job seekers don't assume that they will not be laid off, particularly if their employer has laid off other employees. This ebook helps you to lay the groundwork for surviving if you are laid off (or, maybe, for leaving before it can happen to you).
Guide to Fired-to-Hired Transition
Being fired can be very painful. It can also be a learning experience and an opportunity to move on to a better situation. This Guide will help you handle the situation and recover from it, moving from fired to hired!
Guides to Making a Career Change
With millions of options to choose from, this is often the most difficult part of a job search. It is also the most important.
Today, "keeping my options open" means a vague LinkedIn profile, a vague/general resume, and -- with the impact of technology and the importance of keywords -- usually a much longer job search. Taking the time to figure out what you want is usually an extremely good investment of your time and attention! Here's help:
Guide to Career Assessments
For many of us, figuring out what we do best is not easy, but it is very important to success in your jobs and career. Career assessments help you understand more about yourself so you can make the best choices. This Guide describes the different kinds of career assessments.
Guide to Career Building
Your career is made up of all your jobs, but smart job seekers look at the big picture of their career. This Guide will help you focus your attention and efforts to build a great career.
Guide to Career Change
Most of us change our careers several times, both because we want to but also when we have no choice -- an employer closes or a new technology replaces an industry or field (think about Kodak and Polaroid). When possible, planning your next career change is the best approach, and this Guide will walk you through those steps.
Free ebooks for career changers:
Starting Your Career Reinvention
For a successful career change, you need to understand yourself -- what you want to do and what you like to do. This ebook provides a process that will help you figure out what should be next for your career.
Implementing Your Career Reinvention
Once you know the direction you want your career to take, you can move in that direction. This ebook describes 5 steps to implement your career change.
Guide to Lifestyle-Friendly Careers
Sometimes we need a job that fits our lifestyle. We may have responsibilities for children, a spouse, or parents that means we can't have a traditional 9-to-5 job. Or, maybe we're tired of traditional jobs. This Guide shows you many options for your lifestyle-friendly career, including turning your hobby into income.
Guide to Mid-Life Careers
At "mid-life" (mid-40's and later) we may decide that we want to do something different from what we've been doing for the last twenty years. This Guide helps you discover and evaluate your mid-life career options.
Guide to Becoming an Entrepreneur
Becoming an entrepreneur -- being your own boss -- is appealing to many of us. This Guide provides you with the groundwork to understand what is involved in starting and running your own business.
Guides for Specific Groups of Job Seekers
Many groups of job seekers face unique issues, based on their age, experience level, or personal preferences. This section of Job-Hunt.Org helps members of those groups, from boomers to veterans, introverts to new grads, .
Learn what your group needs to know to succeed by reading the appropriate Guide(s) for you.

Boomers face many issues in their job search, from the possible disadvantage of no longer being young (and inexpensive) to the advantages resulting from a strong network built up over their lives.

Guide to Job Search for New Graduates
New graduates face the issues associated with any start up, and, of course, strategies exist for managing those issues. This Guide offers new grads solid advice for starting up their careers and successful job search.

Guide to Job Search for Jobs in the Finance Industry
Like sales and marketing jobs, we will probably always have financial jobs -- from business accounting to bank loans (for people and businesses) to investing (also for people and businesses). So, this Guide gives you tips to help you succeed in that job market.

Excellent feedback from a knowledgeable source. This guy has officiated at numerous professional tennis events, often as a chair umpire.

Nitpick much? I don't see why you are making such a big fuss about this particular point. I can't see any compelling reason why the ball used should have any bearing on the equity question of prize money. Women are not deriving an unfair benefit over male players by using a different ITF-approved ball.
Should we also insist that women wear men's shoes, men's clothes and use manly 12+ oz racquets in order to receive equal pay? Are women gaining an unfair advantage with higher iron levels in their diets and higher estrogen levels in their blood stream?
If you want to make an issue about prize money for events where men play best of 5 while women only play best of 3, then I'm with you on that point. However, denying equity because the WTA uses a slightly different ball is pure folly.
If u have one foot stuck in yesterday & one foot stuck in tomorrow, u are peeing on today.

Climbing is Capped at Mount McKinley and Climbers are Left to Wonder What's Next
Sabattis, as attractive as your ration-by-price scheme might seem at first blush, I doubt you'd find many Americans who'd endorse an access rationing system for our premier national park experiences that unabashedly favors wealthy people (especially foreigners) over people of ordinary means. Yes, let's cap the number of permits at a reasonable level. Yes, let's price the permits in relation to the park's cost for providing the services. But let's distribute the permits via a lottery or other means (such as a reservation system with waiting list) that doesn't ration by price. In any event, when the crunch comes -- that is, when the demand for permits far exceeds the supply -- we should never employ a rationing process that allows wealthy internationals to push aside Americans and go to the front of the line.
Climbing is Capped at Mount McKinley and Climbers are Left to Wonder What's Next
It seems self-evident that some sort of limit is the right way to go. After all, the capacity of Mt. McKinley is not infinite - if you think 1,500 is too low, could the mountain handle 3,000 climbers? 6,000? The real question is how should the National Park Service allocate the slots. It doesn't seem like its on the table, but the one that would have the most benefit to the Park System would be an auction - and given that climbing Mt. McKinley is an activity primarily for the wealthy (and very often for international travelers that are not contributing tax dollars), an auction seems a very reasonable way to go for allocating the permits once the limit starts being reached.
Hikers, Bikers and National Parks
I've noticed an interested connection between several Traveler articles recently, including this one, the article on China's "First" National Park, and the article on "Did the NPS Ever Manage this National Monument". It seems that many National Park issues are arising from the fact that the "Big Four" Federal Land agencies no longer really have definitive lines drawn between them based on the purpose of the of the lands that they manage. I mean you have protected places of National significance like Misty Fjords being managed by the Forest Service, large remote tracts of wild land that are not really suitable for visitation like Bering Land Bridge National Preserve being manged by the Park Service, a mix of the same resource being split between BLM's Canyon of the Ancients National Monument the Park Service's Hovenweep National Monument (which although it came first, is now a National Monument within a National Monument), and there are probably any number of other combinations in between. With the various Federal lands such a mess of designations, its no surprise that there is no right answer to figure what is the right level of use in one area vs. another.
Interior Department To Be Sued Over Cape Hatteras National Seashore Plover Habitat Decisions

Ginny ! What a hoot !
Greedy Environmentalist Attorney's !
I guess you don't know where money is getting spent these days, and what you can do if you want when you leave law school. Just today I heard the campaign for what they are calling "clean coal" has already spent $1 Billion THIS year. But, fighting for endangered birds is where you want to be if you are REALLY looking for a huge paycheck.
Yiikes !
Go be an environmentalist, and just watch the money roll in!
Interior Department To Be Sued Over Cape Hatteras National Seashore Plover Habitat Decisions
Are you aware of the Center for Diversity's campaign to ban ORV use in all critical habitat areas and to remind the government of the real meaning of critical habitat? In this light, the contention that critical habitat won't result in additional restrictions is dissingenuous.
As for being critical habitat, since the areas do not require special management they are NOT, BY DEFINITION, critical habitat--ESA section 3(5)(A). As for the specific units, check out the NPS Plover Reports and maps, most of the previous habitat was claimed by Isabel. As for the inlets, sandbars come and go--this is clearly not sustainable habitat. I could go on but the real issue here is that USFWS did not originally designate habitat here for a reason. USFWS is only embarking upon this task because of the DOW suit against USFWS. USFWS knew full well that the area didn't qualify under section 3(5)(A). So it is DOW not CHAPA who initiated this wasteful litigation. Furthermore, despite the fact that Padre Island was exempted under section 4(b)(2), DOW is challenging the Padre Island decison as well.
Bottom line DOW et al will not stop until they get their way or until someone finally stops them in their tracks. I for one hope CHAPA is the group to accomplish just that. My only misgiving is that by fighting this CHAPA is putting more money into the greedy environmentalist attorney's pockets.
Interior Department To Be Sued Over Cape Hatteras National Seashore Plover Habitat Decisions
Thanks for the article! While it's certainly regrettable that this issue must once again enter the federal judicial system, perhaps it will be put to bed at long last.
The same groups/counties, in different combinations, have won similar cases over the same designations twice in recent years. There is no reason to believe that the outcome be any different this time, and perhaps the flawed and outmoded Vogelsong study will cease to be a point of reference in future legal proceedings. [Emphasis on future added]
Interior Department To Be Sued Over Cape Hatteras National Seashore Plover Habitat Decisions
Yet another pathetic attempt by the yahoos on the Outer Banks to turn a National Seashore into the Dare County Motor Park. There's no question there's critical habitat at the National Seashore. So this will simply tie the issue up in legal knots for years. Remember, this issue has already been in the courts for a decade. Environmental groups petitioned and sued to get critical habitat designated, CHAPA sued to get it overturned, the FWS took three years to redesignate it, and now here we go again.
And the irony is this suit won't do anything except waste money. NPS still has to do an ORV plan. And wintering critical habitat doesn't necessarily mean any additional restrictions anyway. The real fight remains over the ORV groups insistence on beach driving in the nesting season, which runs April to November, despite the fact that recovery plans for the piping plover and sea turtles all recommend banning ORVs from nesting areas.

Being an avid snowmobiler myself I hear about this debate constantly and to my knowledge snowmobiles aren't allowed off the trail and have been mandated to become four-stroke motors which not only reduces emissions to that of or even less than the automobiles that enter YELL every day, but it also reduces the noise pollution that these vehicles put out to that of or less than that of automobiles.

Whatever Happened to That Rule Change To Allow You to Pack Heat in National Parks?
Frank C, why is your whole life consumed on the gun issue. It seems like your always splitting hair over the gun arguments to pack heat...to anywhere and everywhere. In seeing my first homicide victim (a police officer with family) as a young surgical tech, just made me puke about the NRA and it's overly hell bent gun fanatics. I duly believe in the right of handgun ownership, but kept in the home and in a SAFE PLACE locked up. In fact, I've had two close friends involved in tragic gun accidents: one was showing off his loaded high powered rifle that went off accidently and killing his best friend, and the other, was in the fit of anger, in which brother shoots brother with a Remington 22 rifle (not sure of the type). Unfortunately, the brother that was shot is totally paralyzed from the waist down...and has been for the past 35 years. ALL TRUE TRAGIC STORIES!
Yes, an emotional issue on both sides, but I get the impression Frank, you fan the coals towards more hell bent gun ownership regardless of the carnage that it leaves behind. Just work in the hospital morgue for while on Saturday night (in any big mean City) and see the morass that guns play. The poor ER staff beating their brains out to save some poor innocent victim, or some crazy gang banger. Take real hard look Frank and pray it's not your kid or dear family member. I've had my fill of gun violence and hope that President elect Obama squeezes out more gun regulations and pinches out the NRA.
Injuries Prove Fatal To Hiker Who Fell in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Sometimes accidents just happen. I once suffered a concussion while skiing, even though I was only skiing a green run, was wearing a helmet, and did not run into a tree or other obstacle - just fell to the ground (or possibly collided with another skier - the details are not known and I don't recall due to the concussion).
Hikers, skiers, and other outdoor enthusiasts often under-estimate the risks involved in what appear to be non-risky adventures even when being cautious and following the rules. However, in speaking with numerous park rangers over the years it seems to me that most serious / fatal accidents happen when people ignore safety precautions.
Does anyone know the specifics of this accident?
Whatever Happened to That Rule Change To Allow You to Pack Heat in National Parks?
Interestingly enough, ReasonOnline just posted an article titled The Trouble With Thomas Jefferson which states in part:
Does the fact that Thomas Jefferson owned slaves—probably including his own children—negate the wonderful things he wrote about inalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence? To put it another way, why should anyone listen to what Master Jefferson (or other slaveholding Founders) had to say about liberty and equality?
It's important to remember that the idea of inalienable rights didn't start or stop in the year 1776. The historian Gordon S. Wood, in his superb 1991 book The Radicalism of the American Revolution, argues that "to focus, as we are apt to do, on what the Revolution did not accomplish—highlighting and lamenting its failure to abolish slavery and change fundamentally the lot of women—is to miss the great significance of what it did accomplish." In Wood's view, by destroying monarchical rule and replacing it with republicanism, the American revolutionaries "made possible the anti-slavery and women's rights movements of the nineteenth century and in fact all our current egalitarian thinking." They upended "their societies as well as their governments…only they did not know—they could scarcely have imagined—how much of their society they would change."
The article also provides historical background on Jefferson and the issue of slavery. Highly recommended.
At 55 and Counting, Wright Brothers National Memorial Enjoys Its Monumental Facelift
Great article, Bob!
Thanks for bringing this project to light. Prior to the 2003 "Centennial of Flight" celebration, the entire WBM complex had become rather worn looking, to say the least. Decades of exposure to salt air and simple visitor wear and tear had taken its toll.
After many years of just passing it by, I have made at least one visit each year over the past two years, and was very happy to see the facelift that the entire unit has enjoyed. It's also great to see that the restoration of the monument itself was financed through cooperation between the NPS and NGO's like the First Flight Foundation, helping the financially strapped park service as well as providing a sense of civilian ownership.
Another item of note: December 17th marks the 105th anniversary of the Wright Brother's maiden flight, and the First Flight Society will hold it's annual day-long Gala event at the WBM complex. From the First Flight Society Website:
The day's activities include a ceremony at the Memorial . . . the induction of a major figure in aviation into the Society's Shrine . . . a thrilling fly-over of civilian, military and historic aircraft . . . and an annual luncheon and formal Ball. This annual celebration is a joint effort of the First Flight Society, the National Park Service, the military and many other participants.
If you're in the area, make plans to attend this unique event!
28 Years Ago, the National Park System Gained Millions of Acres
d-2 and Rick -
Thanks for the additional insights into this part of NPS history.
Rick, you and the others who made that initial foray into the new areas in 1979 did a superb job in laying the foundation for rangers who came after you. That had to be an incredibly challenging assignment - and as you note, one of the most rewarding ones... especially since it turned out so well. The story about the award ceremony is a classic!
Rescued Yosemite Hiker Has Lots to be Thankful for This Year
Lucky guy, glad all ends well. Honestly I can't think of a nicer place to get stuck for a week or 2. If Steve F. would like, I will send him a copy of my photo from above Red Devil Lake from early Sept. (it was much warmer then). I can easily see why a couple of feet of snow would have stopped any progress in country like that. Nothing but rocks , and granite slabs and wind exposure. It's nice to hear a rescue story where somebody did almost everything he should. Again, Lucky Guy! Terrible shame about the Japanese Climbers...
4-Year-old Dies in Fall off South Rim of Grand Canyon
Anyone who says that they "would not let go of a child's hand for one second" either does not have children or lives in a dream world. This is real life and the world is an imperfect place. My heart breaks for the parents of this poor kid. The memory of this event will haunt them forever. It's too bad that some idiots focus on how such a thing could only be an act of negligence. Wake up, idiots.
28 Years Ago, the National Park System Gained Millions of Acres
I think they did a pretty good job, considering what was at stake, how enormous the controversy was, how many PRIVATE SECTOR lobbyists were engaged, and how complicated the task was. I thought most of the politicians had more courage than most of the agency people or the private sector. They had to stand out there and take the hits.
Maybe it could be easier for the private sector to do something slick behind closed doors. but then, how much would the average citizen be able to affect the outcome? The private sector would just tell you what they were going to do, and unless you are a big stockholder or can file a successful lawsuit, you are stuck.
In the case of this law, more people testified on this legislation than any prior law in history, except the Civil Rights Act.
I don't think these things should be easy.
28 Years Ago, the National Park System Gained Millions of Acres
In 1979, I was one of a small group of NPS rangers (21 in total, I believe) sent to Alaska in the summer to establiish an NPS "presence" in President Carter's new national monuments. We held public meetings, gave countless interviews, did monument patrols, answered dozens of phone calls from Senator Stevens' and Representative Young's offices and enforced the new regulations in the national monuments.
It was a summer to remember. The opposition to the monuments adopted a logo of a husky peeing on a sign that said "national monument". I still have a tee shirt with the logo. It is one of my most treasured momentos of my years in the NPS. We made several arrests for hunting inside the monument boundaries, all of which garnered headlines in the Anchorage and Fairbanks papers.
When I left the state in early October, I realized that not only had I seen some of the most breath-taking country on our planet and met some of most interesting people in the US, I had also participated in the shake-out that reached its culmination when the President signed the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act in December, 1980. As d-2 notes above, many Alaskans favored the compromises contained in ANILCA because in the summers of 1979 and 1980, they saw what life would be with national monuments and no further action.
An interesting footnote: Toward the end of the summer, the Alaskan law enforcement community held its Alaska police olympics. We were initially denied entry, but since we were all sworn peace officers, they finally allowed us to compete. We won our share of the medals that were awarded at a banquet by Representative Don Young. I will never forget his comment after he awarded a number of shooting medals to NPS rangers following awarding our relay team a medal. He said, "Well, one thing we now know about rangers. They can shoot straight and run fast." He was right.

D-2, thanks for providing "the rest of the story." Nothing ever seems to be easily accomplished when it involves the federal government and politicians, does it?
28 Years Ago, the National Park System Gained Millions of Acres
Kurt -- it is such a kick to see so many pieces, and comments, in this website about Alaska over the past several days. Now with this piece you bring it all together, by highlighting President Carter's Alaskan National Monuments.
-- On how long it took to get the Alaska Lands Act (ANILCA) passed, it DEPEMDS on how you count.
Ted Swem, the NPS genius who headed the national park service planning team and first defined (in 1973) all the areas included in Pres. Carter's Monuments, wrote a piece in the NPS newsletter about the origin of the park proposals. He mentioned NPS studies going back to the 1930's, and also the effort to create large national monuments -- including a two-unit Gates of the Arctic NM -- for President Johnson to establish. But in a last-minute conflict with Sec. Stewart Udall in January 1969, most of these proposals died.
Then, in 1973, Ted's team submitted their proposals through the Director to the Secretary (Rodgers Morton) to be sent to the Congress. Morton had to coordinate his proposals through the Nixon then Ford White House. Several bills started to be introduced from that time on, either based on the Morton/Swem proposals, or on larger conservationist plans. When Carter was elected, the Administration revised the Ford proposal, led by Secretary Andrus. That is when the national preserves were identified, so as to close the "national parks" to sport hunting. Andrus prepared draft legislative language, introduced by Senator Scoop Jackson, Rep. Mo Udall on behalf of the environmentalists introduced the famous "H.R. 39," and Senator Stevens his bill on behalf of the opponents of the parks and refuges. Ultimately, there were many more. From the beginning Senator Jackson maneuvered to have his bill end up as "the" bill.
But all the bills died at the end of 1978, forcing President Carter to create the Monuments, even though Senator Mike Gravel said Carter did not have the guts. Not the first time Gravel was wrong. The concept of ending all further Presidential Proclamations under the antiquities act was fully supported by Carter and Andrus, and was one of many ways included in the final bill to salve the opposition or anger of those in Alaska who opposed the parks. Carter and Andrus wanted a bill passed by congress, a concensus vehicle as much as possible.
Throughout, Carter and Andrus made numerous efforts to avoid vindictiveness, and achieve a balanced bill that accomplished Rogers Morton's Vision Statement to "Do Things Right For the First Time." In their efforts at statesmanship, Andrus and Carter reminded me of Abraham Lincoln. Carter said he thought that many years in the future, historians would say Alaskan conservation was the most important thing achieved in his Administration.
But Kurt, you are also right about the key point, that at a time Alaska was being carved up for development and land disposal, the President and the Congress insisted that CONSERVATION be built into the development plans. rather than as an afterthought.
You mention Dick Proenneke and Lake Clark National Park. I had a chance to meet Dick Proenneke at Twin Lakes about a year before Carter and Andrus make their proposal in 1977. I have never seen such a beautifully CRAFTED piece of woodworking or architecture as that cabin. At that time Dick thought he would have to leave his cabin as soon as the park was created, because he said BLM had told him he did not have a legal claim, and would be run off by the NPS. He accepted this philosophically, saying the most important thing was to protect large, beautiful parklands for the future, not what happened to him.
Despite the flack that everybody in Alaska was against the new parks, if it had not been for the support of so many Alaskans like Dick, I think the bill would not have passed, or at least, so many areas this large would not have been created. There is an amazing, long list of inspired people who, working together (and sometimes in opposition), made these great national monuments happen.
Study Says Loss of Wolves Damaging Olympic National Park's Forest Ecosystem
we need to reintroduse wolfs, why? it is because, the elk and deer heards are tearing up our forests! they are eating the plants that contain river banks, they eat the shoots of new trees. if we allow controlled hunting, people from all over the USA will come to Washington, to hunt the elk, and even with the hunting being controlled the elk numbers will still drop like flies.
China Moves to Designate its First National Park
Thanks, Sabattis, for bringing up the Kobuk Valley National Park.
What a special place. Is there anything else like it? And yes, other than the Kobuk River, and the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes (that actually might not be on federal land), tourists don't usually go there. But it is a crossroads of the arctic and the subarctic, of the flyways and caribou migration routes, midway between the coastal zone and the Interior, of nearly every phase of Alaska pre-history, and a nearly complete ecological zone.

The Big Three have jumped into the grassroots performance scene in a lot of different ways, while others are dabbling in class-specific racing, the gang at GM Performance Parts (GMPP) tapped their area of expertise of crate engine production for its grassroots efforts. The GMPP catalog has staked its claim as being the leader in crate engine offerings from entry-level small-blocks and four-cylinder power plants to robust 572-ci street monsters. The company even offers a spec-engine for various circle track racing sanctions. Amongst the small and large crate engines sits its highly acclaimed LS lineup that includes green offerings (E-Rod emission-compliant packages), production-style engines, short-blocks and a stout 454-ci LSX pump gas engine. But the LS story doesn't end with its monster LSX 454; GMPP is releasing its most powerful crate engine to date, and it's targeting the grassroots drag racing segment. Please give a warm welcome to the GMPP LSX 454-R crate engine and all of its 720 hp.
GMPP rolled out its LSX program in 2007, and the major marketing force was on the drag strip where the company got involved with the NMCA LSX Shootout and backed several other drag racing efforts. The LSX block was an instant hit and is now a cornerstone in the world of big horsepower on the street and strip. Its popularity is no surprise since the factory speed shop worked with NHRA Pro Stock legend Warren Johnson to design a block capable of supporting 2,000-plus horsepower while remaining applicable to street-only engine builds. The new LSX 454-R crate engine is merely building on the high-performance platform that was rolled out almost four years ago.
The LSX 454-R engine is not just a poked and stroked bullet that was bolted together and rushed to market. There were several LSX racers who helped contribute data and feedback on various combinations as well as a full-bore engineering effort inside of GM to produce the 720 hp. The highlights of the engine include the brand-new LSX DR head and intake components, but it all starts with the LSX block foundation. The six-bolt main, cast-iron block has its bores enlarged to 4.185 inches each in diameter, while the stroke checks in to the party at 4.125 inches. The forged pistons are connected to the stroker crankshaft via 6-inch-long 4340 I-beam connecting rods.
Moving topside, the main ingredients include the brand-new LSX DR cylinder heads and intake manifold. The LSX-DR heads come standard on this engine and feature CNC-porting, 11-degree valve angle and six-bolts per cylinder that are designed to be used with the LSX block. The heads are capable of serious flow numbers, and the CNC-ported intake runners push 435 cfm at .800-inch lift, while using a 2.25-inch stainless steel valve, 4.185-inch bore and 28 inches of water on the test stand. Moving to the exhaust ports shows GMPP's handiwork on the CNC mill nets a port flow of 252 cfm at .800-inch lift, 1.625-inch stainless steel valves and same flow-bench criteria as the intake test. For those interested in the intake port volume, GMPP lists it as 316cc and the combustion chamber is 50cc.
The in-block camshaft bumps the valves a maximum of 0.738-inch, both intake and exhaust. The rest of the cam specs include 250 degrees of duration on the intake side and 270 degrees for the exhaust (measured at 0.050-inch lift), with a lobe separation angle of 108 degrees. Mechanical roller tie-bar lifters are installed to transfer the lift to the pushrods and ultimately to a set of shaft-mounted 1.9:1 ratio roller rocker arms. Topping the induction system is the LSX-DR intake manifold designed to work on top of the heads bearing the same moniker. It accepts a 4500-style carburetor and has extra material for professional porting. GMPP tops the engine with a Holley 4500 carburetor, otherwise known as a Dominator, and it flows 1,150 cfm.
All told, the 454ci powerhouse cranks out 720 hp at 6,800 rpm, while torque peaks at 630 lb-ft. GMPP suggests 110-octane as the minimum and max rpm is 7,100. Based on quarter-mile calculations, that type of power should push a 3,200-pound vehicle into the low 10s/high nines with speeds over 135 mph. The engine is available at any one of the 4,500 GM dealers (140 are authorized GMPP sales centers), and it's only a few clicks away online at the division's website.

The government on Tuesday sought to douse growing speculation about Democratic Left (DIMAR) leader Fotis Kouvelis being lined up as a nominee for the Greek presidency as lawmakers from the coalition and opposition parties continued to fuel the debate by expressing their preferences on a successor for incumbent Karolos Papoulias, whose term expires in February.
We cant discuss something that is set to happen months from now when we are preparing for serious negotiations for the countrys exit from the eurozone and the memorandums, said government spokeswoman Sofia Voultepsi.
Meanwhile several prominent MPs could not resist offering their opinions on the matter. Health Minister Makis Voridis, formerly the spokesman for New Democracys parliamentary group, noted that Papouliass successor should be an individual with broad appeal but said he would prefer a president from the center-right. Andreas Psycharis, another conservative lawmaker, said current Parliament Speaker Vangelis Meimarakis would be a better choice.
In the ranks of DIMAR, opinion appeared to remain divided on the question of Kouveliss possible candidacy. Sources have said the party will decide on whether or not to support Kouvelis as a candidate if it sees a shift in the coalitions policy away from austerity.
