Emerging and disruptive markets are hard to quantify and forecast: They often apply different marketing labels for the same thing, and have no baseline industry data and no consistent methods of measurement and forecasting.
But this recent Wibikon big data report is head and hands above others. This is the third edition of the report and I wanted to give a shout-out to the authors – Jeff Kelly, David Vellante and David Foyer – on this best-in-class body of work.
Behind the numbers: The way I see it, big data has two different markets with very different technology and investment requirements and pace of adoption:
And now, the color commentary on the Wikibon big data report …
I've discussed the notion of two different markets, consumer big data and enterprise big data, with dozens of my friends, associates and industry co-travelers. And consistently their response is "yes, we see it the same way. There are two very different big data markets: one for web scale, like Yahoo!, and another for business and industry, like Walmart and GE." My friends at Rackspace introduced me to the terms consumer big data and enterprise big data … make sense to me.

CRESTVIEW — Controversy over the Confederate flag visited first in 1996 and later in 2002 has flared up again in the Hub City.
Sabu Williams, president of the Okaloosa County branch of the NAAC, will repeat his organization's objections to the flag that has been flying since 1958 over a memorial to a Civil War veteran at Monday's Crestview City Council meeting.
African Americans see the Confederate flag as a symbol of racism and of an oppressive South that fought to "keep life as it was with slavery," said Williams, who confronted the City Council in 1996 on the same topic.
"Even without the racist perspective, it's a symbol of division in our country," he said.
But the flag over the memorial honoring William "Uncle Bill" Lundy, who may have been the last living Civil War veteran when he died in Crestview in 1957 at the age of 109, has strong support in the community.
See photos of Lundy at his 107th birthday celebration. >>
In anticipation, perhaps, of Williams' upcoming objections, a group or individual has been running advertisements on at least one local radio station seeking support to keep the flag flying.
Williams, who plans to meet soon with relatives of Lundy, said the NAACP has no qualms with the man himself.
"This has nothing to do with Uncle Bill Lundy," he said. "We are proud of his service and realize that in the Civil War what side you fought for was mostly about where you lived."
Crestview officials twice have declined to remove the Confederate battle flag from above Lundy's memorial, and Mayor David Cadle does not anticipate any action to be taken Monday.
"I don't expect it to go forward. I'd be surprised," he said. "It would take two council members, one to motion and one to second."
Council President Robyn Helt said in late September the issue of the flag wouldn't be addressed until it was clarified who owns the property where the memorial stands on Hickory Avenue near State Road 85 and First Avenue.
Cindy Howard with the Okaloosa County Property Appraiser's Office said she had been asked "four or five times" who owns the memorial site. While it isn't clear, she said the best bet is that it is city property.
Land documents from Walton or Santa Rosa counties, from which Okaloosa was created in 1915, might reveal more, Howard suggested.
In 1996 and 2002 City Councilman Sam Hayes, a veteran of three wars and the lone black member of the council both years, strongly supported allowing the flag to fly.
Hayes has since passed away but his son, Shannon, now serves on the council.
A central figure in the first battle over the flag, Crestview resident Mae Reatha Coleman, is the person chiefly responsible for raising the issue again.
She's also the only person, according to Cadle, who has objected to the City Council about the flag this time around.
"I'm hearing from a lot of people who support the Bill Lundy memorial," Cadle said.
Williams remains undeterred by the city's refusal to remove the Confederate flag. He said he hopes in 2013 the community will see and identify with the issues he is raising.
"I think it's time for Crestview to look at itself and what image the city wants to portray," he said. "People need to ask, 'What do we want to portray as a community going forward.' "
An article by Hettie Cobb on "Uncle Bill Lundy" ran in a 1951 edition of the Playground News:
W. A. Lundy, 103, Takes A Toddy, Doesn't Worry
How do you live to be 103?
Uncle Bill Lundy of Laurel Hill says it's simple. You just stay away from doctors, take a little toddy first thing of a morning and "don't worry about nothing."
Uncle Bill, Civil War veteran and star of WCNU's Birthday Club of the Air celebration last Thursday at Wayside Park near Crestview has somehow managed to exceed the century mark without benefit of yogurt, wheat germ, or black-strap molasses.
"I work on my farm, eat a big breakfast and dinner and a light supper," says Uncle Bill, expanding on his secrets of long life. When he wakes up in the morning feeling kind of poorly Uncle Bill takes about five drops of turpentine in a spoonful of castor oil. That's the only medicine he's ever taken, he says.
Asked what time he gets up in the morning this anything but feeble old man says he usually arises about daylight. But if there's nothing on the slate pushing him he sometimes lies in bed until "plum sunup!"
His breakfast generally consists of bacon, fried eggs, grits and hot buttered biscuits with honey raised right there on the place. Then for dinner Uncle Bill is ready for peas and butter beans, corn and okra, tomatoes, fried chicken and corn bread. But that's where the big feast ends. "I never was a heavy eater at suppertime," he says.
When Uncle Bill was a strapping lad of 16 he was toting a musket to guard the courthouse in Coffee County from the rampaging Yankees.
"It looked like they was a-comin' from everywhere," recalls Uncle Bill. "And the young boys was called in to help guard the towns."
This spry and jolly centenarian can recall clearly things that happened during the war between the states. "But looks like in the last few years I can't ricollict like I ought to."
"It was just horrible," he says and shakes his head when he gets on his favorite topic for reminiscence.
Uncle Bill Lundy says he used to try to go to all the Confederate reunions. "Last one I went to was in 1941 up in Birmingham," he recalls. But since then he says he's been a little too feeble to make the trips.
He's never been to Fort Walton but he declares that he's always wanted to come here. He has lived out his long years for the most part in Southern Alabama and Northwest Florida. He was born in Pike County, Ala., near Troy and moved shortly thereafter to Coffee County.
Uncle Bill is the father of 10 children, all of whom are living. He lives now with two sons and a daughter, on a farm near Laurel Hill. While most of the children married off and scattered over the county, Pete, 45, the youngest son, Tom, 65, and Vinnie, 53, never married.
Perhaps one reason these three children never left home was their devotion to their father. At the Birthday Club celebration last week all three were on hand to look after him even though "Papa" protested vigorously that he didn't need anybody to bring him his food, anything to drink or a chair to sit on. (He stood over two hours under a merciless October sun that was no respecter of age and talked to old acquaintances, relatives and reporters and posed for a battery of photographers both amateur and professional.) And repeatedly declared that he wasn't a bit tired!

The District of Columbia City Council enacted [http://dcclims1.dccouncil.us/images/00001/20061218152322.pdf B16-515] on December 5, 2006, establishing green building standards for public buildings and privately-owned commercial buildings of 50,000 square feet or more. While many jurisdictions have adopted green building standards for public buildings, DC is among the first to make such requirements for privately-owned buildings. Subsequent legislation (the Healthy Schools Act of 2010) expanded provisions of the original law related to public schools and privately-owned educational facilities.
The new standards are phased in over the course of several years with publicly-owned buildings being the first required to comply. All new construction and substantial improvements of non-residential District owned or District instrumentality owned projects which were initially funded in Fiscal Year 2008 or later must achieve LEED NC* 2.2 or LEED CS 2.0 certification at the Silver level. Public Schools also are required to meet the requirements of LEED for Schools at the Certified level, or the equivalent under another green building rating system. To the extent that funding for construction or renovation is available public schools are required to meet LEED for Schools Gold level certification. And all public housing projects with 10,000 square feet of gross floor area or greater, will be required to fulfill or exceed the [http://www.enterprisecommunity.com/solutions-and-innovation/enterprise-g... Green Communities] 2006 standard or another equivalent standard.
Starting January 1, 2009, all new construction or major renovations to non-residential, private buildings of 50,000 square feet or more must submit a green building checklist outlining green features that will be pursued. New construction and major renovations to non-residential privately owned buildings started after January 1, 2012 will need to be verified as having fulfilled or exceeded the LEED NC, LEED CS, or LEED for Schools standard at the Certified level. For private "educational facilities", the law contains an aspirational goal of LEED for Schools Gold level certification. The District currently offers expedited permitting for LEED Gold certified projects as an incentive for private sector innovation.
In addition to the Green Building Requirements, in October 2008 D.C. enacted the [http://green.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/ddoe/publication/attach... Clean and Affordable Energy Act of 2008 (B17-492)], which established energy benchmarking requirements for government and private buildings. Starting in the fall of 2009, all government buildings must be benchmarked using the Energy Star Portfolio Manager tool. Annual benchmarking for private buildings will be phased in over four years, starting on January 1, 2010. Public buildings' benchmarking will be completed by the start date for private buildings. The results will be made available to the public on the Internet through the District of Columbia Department of the Environment (DDOE) website.

Car guys tend to go through phases when it comes to the purpose of their vehicles, as it's easy to grow tired of a particular combination. If you're a car show guru, then you'll want to take your car to the next level in terms of cleanliness and eye-catching detail. And if your car is built for the occasional trip to the dragstrip, there's no doubt you'll eventually get the urge to make it faster. For Marcus Wooden, it's all about going fast these days, although he'd originally planned to build a mild street cruiser out of this silver '64 Chevy II. He finished the car in '09, but it didn't take long for him to catch the drag racing bug, thanks to his good friend and longtime racer, Mike Farley.
Marcus lives on Brockdell Mountain, which lies in the outskirts of Pikeville, Tennessee. This sleepy little town is home to a surprising number of drag racers, which may be a result of the nearby strip in Crossville, Tennessee. Known as I-40 Dragway, the eighth-mile strip is a hot spot for outlaw racing and has a heads up series known as the Bounty Race. One of the classes in this series is called Cheap Streetùit's a category that restricts racers to a 28x10.5-inch tire, a single-stage power adder, and a weight limit, based on engine configuration and overall setup.
During the '09 season, Marcus watched the field of racers, including his buddy Mike, battle it out and progressively get quicker and faster as the year came to a close. At this point, Marcus had completed his Chevy II, but it was a little different than the version you see here. It had stock wheeltubs, a Heidts Mustang II subframe, and a small shot of nitrous. This combination was enough to put the car into the 6s in the eighth-mile, which is very impressive, but Marcus wanted more.
He transformed this average street car into an all-out performer with a number of modifications, starting with wider wheeltubs. The Chevy II now features a Smith Racecraft round-tube front subframe, which consists of chrome-moly tubing and mounting points for an '82-92 Camaro strut setup. Santuff struts are fully adjustable, allowing Marcus to dial in the weight transfer, while Aerospace disc brakes shed several pounds off the nose, and hide behind the Billet Specialties Street Lite wheels. A matching (but obviously wider) pair of Street Lite wheels rolls out back with a pair of Mickey Thompson 28x10.5-inch slicks heading up the traction department.
The rear suspension consists of Calvert Racing split mono leaf springs, which have been moved inward for tire clearance and work in conjunction with Cal-Trac bars and Rancho adjustable shocks. The 9-inch rearend features a Moser differential and axles with a 4.10 gearset. Mike Farley handled most of the suspension work and also installed the rollcage, which features S-shaped door bars to make entry and exit much easier when compared to a standard, straight door bar.
For power, Marcus uses a small-block Chevy, which was machined and assembled by J.P. Holt at Performance Automotive Machine in Cleveland, Tennessee. It all starts with a Dart block, which features a tall deck design and a raised camshaft to make room for a 4-inch stroke from the Callies crankshaft. A total displacement of 436 ci is partially created by a 4.165-inch bore, which is filled with JE pistons and Oliver connecting rods. The heavily worked Pro Topline cylinder heads move lots of air in and out of the combustion chambers, while a custom-ground roller camshaft operates the Manley valves. A Dart intake rides atop the small-block, and it's fitted with a custom fogger nitrous system by Induction Solutions.
A steady supply of VP C16 racing fuel is drawn from a fuel cell by a BG400 electric fuel pump and sent into the 1,050-cfm Holley Dominator carburetor. Ignition is controlled by an MSD system, complete with a Digital 7 controller (commonly known as a 7531 box), while a set of Lemons headers and Bullet mufflers play a radical tune through a short expanse of 4-inch piping.

She was shocked to hear he was Pope. She said that when the military rulers of Argentina were 'disappearing' thousands of people who protested against them, the Catholic church did nothing. In fact in many cases they protected the regime. Many of her friends are the 'lost generation' - they disappeared and were never found.
It's said this 'humble' guy cares for the people, yet he did not speak out against what the military were doing. Worse still she said it was known that he actually blessed the planes that took off with thousands of bodies of 'the disappeared' to be dumped in rivers.
I have a feeling we might hear more stories about the pope in forthcoming years.

Play Video: Heat vs. Ice
Received this tri-sectional from a vendor at a convention 15 years ago. Amazing product. Kept in freezer. Love the soft covering. No need for extra towels. VERY pliable. Fits around shoulders, hips, you name it!
None others can compete!
It's a must for anyone personal or professional use. Works great as a cold pack and microwaves easily. The texture is almost of sued or felt. very soft on the skin & no need to wrap it with a towel or cloth.
These Corpak hot/cold packs work very well as cold packs. They can stay in the freezer until you are ready for them. They remain flexible even when frozen and the cloth exterior does not feel too cold against bare skin. The cold penetrates into muscles well and is comfortable enough for a good length of treatment.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that MSDS be available to employees for potentially harmful substances handled in the workplace under the Hazard Communication regulation.

I Gave Up Waiting On The Water-Cooled Radeon R9 Fury X
One week after the Radeon R9 Fury X launched at $649 USD with an integrated water-cooling solution, the graphics card remains in short supply and it's not clear when exactly this graphics card will better saturate retail channels. At this point, I've shifted my focused to the air-cooled AMD Radeon R9 Fury graphics card that will ship in two weeks and be air-cooled while costing $100 less.

One of our well-respected business bloggers, Scott Messinger, indicates in his articles that starting up a business is no child's play. He mentioned that if you want to have more time with your family through your startup business, you should think again. From my experience, Scott's advice is something that you should look up to.
Most people start their first company while they still have a day job. It makes sense: You don't need loans. You don't need funding. And if you "fail," all you've lost is time.
But you've also placed yourself in a hazardous – potentially legally ambiguous – situation. If managed improperly, you're unnecessarily risking lawsuits and worse.
Jeff Smith's trip to Honduras has evolved into a model that encourages aspiring entrepreneurs and helps struggling communities in the process. Smith received the Kauffman Community Award in honor of his accomplishments at a special presentation at the 2006 EO Chicago University.
Marcia Mellitz, president of a St. Louis-based technology business incubator, recounts the roller coaster tale of two entrepreneurs who ride the wave of startup, failure, and ultimately success.
The founder and CEO of American Reading Company, Jane Hileman, has seen her company grow from a few teachers ten years ago to 111 employees today who provide books and reading goals for students to encourage a love of reading. Hileman's goals are revenue growth, profitability, and success.
First-time CEOs may find it daunting to establish their first board of directors. This topic expert details a four-step process to building boards that can help growth companies thrive.
While effectual boards of directors can strengthen a growing company, this author asserts ineffectual boards can just as easily cripple a company's growth. Entrepreneurs should follow proven and concrete procedures for developing and operating strong boards of directors.
Richard Jarman sees entrepreneurship as the backbone of the American economy, and he's doing his part to help by mentoring up-and-coming entrepreneurs.
In this Collection overview article, this entrepreneur and director argues boards of directors are critical success factors in fast-growing companies. This expert debunks a set of common misconceptions many entrepreneurs have about boards and outlines why an entrepreneur should build one.
Carl Behnke's investment of more than 20 years on the board of Junior Achievement is just one example of his belief in giving back.

Jodie Foster
Winning Oscars, stepping up to the director's chair, attending Yale—and graduating magna cum laude—Jodie Foster has done all this without ever seeming to break a sweat. A woman of seemingly boundless talent and intelligence, she has impressed critics, audiences and everyone else since she was a child.
Encouraged by her mother to enter show business, Jodie made several TV appearances before making her movie debut in Disney's Napoleon & Samantha (1972). On every set, the teenage Foster astounded her elders with her professionalism and skill. She was not yet 13 when she was cast as a child prostitute in Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1975). The role brought her stardom—but also tragic consequences; she would soon find herself stalked by John Hinckley, Jr., who would later try to assassinate President Reagan in a crazed attempt to impress her.
Badly shaken and cynical toward the press and the public after that 1981 incident, Foster retired from the screen to attend Yale. After graduation she appeared in a few films before making a stunning comeback in 1988's The Accused playing a justice-seeking rape victim and earning an Oscar. Another Oscar came three years later for The Silence of the Lambs. She took on the role of director in the '90s, helming Little Man Tate (1991) and Home for the Holidays (1995). After starring in 1997's Contact, Foster took time off to raise her new son, Charles.
Foster has worked much less since becoming a mother, and she has become much more selective of her roles. It is a working strategy, as her films have received both critical acclaim and box office success. Some of these films include Anna and the King (1999), 2002's The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys and Panic Room, The Inside Man (2006), Nim's Island in (2007), 2008's The Brave One and the blockbuster summer 2013 hit Elysium.
Time and again Jodie can be counted on for playing challenging roles well, and you will enjoy her work from her youth to today.

What's in a name?
The words West Texas evoke strong emotions for many. In 1910, the establishment of an institution of higher education in the Texas panhandle meant new opportunities for students to receive degrees in education. For the next 100 years, the metamorphosis from a small teachers college into a Division I University and back to a Division II University is the unique story that only WT can tell.
In retrospective of the Centennial year of West Texas, we recall the changes that have come to define us. Whether your heart belongs to West Texas State or West Texas A&M, we have come to remember that we are Always WT and the name of our institution is nothing compared to the names of our students. The following names are WT Alumni who have gone on to do notable things in their professional careers. This list was created from WT Athletic Media Relations, the Alumni Association and your submissions.
Due to the large number of football players, this list only covers NFL and CFL does not include Arena. Athletes must have been on a team's active roster as well.
It is meant to be comprehensive but if we have left anyone off please email firstname.lastname@example.com or submit the online form for their inclusion.

Most people think search engine optimization is some sort of secret art that is very difficult. This used to be the case, but search engines are making it easier for you to build your website in a way that will put you at the top of the search engine list. This article will show you just what you need to make this happen.
You need to have patience to get better SEO. Better rankings and increased traffic will not occur quickly. It may take several months, especially if you have a new website. It takes as much time to increase the visibility of an online business as it takes for an offline business.
Don't over-stuff your site with keywords as this can be used against you. The search engines look for words located primarily in content. however, having an unnatural amount of the same keywords in the content of your site can actually work to your disadvantage because it will send up a "red flag" to search results to skip as it seems fishy. A very good Search Engine Optimization firm can be found here on the following yelp page.
Communicate effectively with search engines and your customers by optimizing the title attributes of your links. Tweaking the title attributes will deliver more information about what's on the other side of that link after a click through. There are many scams out there and pages with multiple pop-ups. Surfers want to know what they're clicking, so make sure you're giving the best information you can.
Make sure when writing internal links and backlinks for your website that you use good anchor text. "Click here" is not a good anchor text term, and will have a negative impact on the results in a search engine. Good anchor text will really help improve your search engine rank.
Make the most of your meta description tags. They are useful to reach your search engine ranking goals. A good description tag will make your site stand out on the search engine results page. The meta tag should be brief and relevant. Visitors will see this information and want to click your site, and even may help you beat out pages that rank higher.
Patience is a virtue in search engine optimization. You won't see any instant gratification of your work. It may take several months for you to be able to see the results of your work pay off. The newer you are to the business, the longer it will be for you to get the hang of things.
To increase your website's search engine traffic, be sure to add new content regularly. Updating your page means that search engines will crawl it more often and that your site will receive a higher page ranking. New content also means new keywords, which will give users more ways to discover your site.
Build contextual links throughout your website. Interlinking your website's internal pages gives Google and other search engines clues to what your pages are about and helps guarantee that your internal pages share in higher rankings. To make this easier, many modern content management systems offer plug-ins that detect contextual link opportunities and automatically build them.
Always register your website with Google, Yahoo and other search engines that are popular. A lot of people think this is something that happens automatically for them. It pays to check these results are still accurate on a regular basis. This search ensures that web crawlers are still finding your webpage.
As mentioned in the beginning of this article, search engine optimization is no longer a secret. If you know the few simple steps to optimizing your website for search engines, you can easily drive more traffic to your site. Using the tips listed in this article, you will be able to put your website at the top of the list.

Hi guys,
Microsoft decided to end their support of the Hotmail app, forcing me to switch to the Outlook app. So far I have been unable to use it with my account though.
To begin with, when trying to sign in it tells me that my password is incorrect. Once I finally get it to understand that the password is correct, it asks me to set up the rest of my account. I answer the questions (how many emails should be downloaded, how long should they stay for, etc.) and select the next button. It tells me that it is validating the account, and then it sends me back to the login screen again.
The first time round I thought that was normal, I needed to sign in one more time with the settings complete. But when I signed in again, it took me back to the settings page. There doesn't seem to be any option to get around it. I went through the options again, and again it said that it was validating the account, and then it kicks me back to the login screen again!
Has anyone else had this issue? Can anyone think of something I can do to either: a) Get the outlook app working, or b) Get the hotmail app working again?
Just in case it has any bearing on the process, it is an @hotmail.com account.
Any help would be appreciated, as this is very frustrating for me right now.

So my laptop reinstalled to Min has been standing unused for a day, during the install I had the same annoying issue I had with Ubuntu, where when it asks to connect to a wireless network when I'm tryign to input the password in the box the installer uses I get a popup. no big deal I just put it in the popup instead. but seems a bit weird and bad design.
Well today when I opened it up, not only had the popup come up, which it tends to do at times, but on the taskbar, I had like 40 instances of the wireless network authentication required popup.... WTF.... why is this dialog even allowed to have multiple instances...
Even worse, the only way to get rid of each one is to either click cancel or connect (the x s about the same as cancel), and both options take quite a long time. by that I mean 12+ seconds from I click untill the dialog goes away so I can close the next one.
You've run into some kind of bug, that's certainly not normal behavior. I've installed ubuntu many times on multiple laptops and never seen anything like that happening during the install or after.

Drama, Horror
Tells the story of Anna, once a missing little girl, found wandering a year later on a country road virtually catatonic after suffering some sort of physical abuse. She grows into a comely young woman, but she's got serious issues. She also has a close friend, Lucie, who she ultimately calls after she finds herself in an unusual house in the middle of the forest. There's something very disturbing about the Bauhaus-esque home, something Anna can't quite put her finger on.
Rated R for disturbing/severe aberrant behavior involving strong bloody violence, toture, child abuse and some nudity.

I find myself thinking about this question a lot when it comes to my family history. It has never for me been about "gathering names" or seeing how far back I can go. I have always grappled with trying to recreate my ancestor's lives, trying to understand the forces of history they lived through and what drove them. What connects my life to theirs? What's different? Those issues endlessly fascinate me. I think those are the things that inform us and have the potential to ever so slightly turn the lens of life that we see ourselves and our own lives through. I know who am I and where I am as a young woman today (well maybe not so young anymore) because each branch of family–so different, shaped by vastly different lives—collectively moved the ball forward for me to have greater opportunities. And I embrace all of that.
I'm always trying to encourage people to take a break from researching long enough to actually write up your research. I know it's hard and trust me, I have a few lines I still need to write up. But thinking about the details about what their lives were like can provide the meat to make your write-up interesting. No one will read a list of names and dates with much interest, but if you can make it come alive (and you don't have to be Toni Morrison) you can get some serious credibility with the family. Here are some ideas and questions to ask as you ponder what their lives were like:
- Many of our ancestors were farmers. What crops did they grow? What kinds of animals did they have? Check the agricultural census. How did that shape their lives? Growing tobacco is very different from corn or wheat. Read up on it or do some research at this cool website on agriculture. Were they sharecroppers or landowners?
- Some of our ancestors were professionals, such as teachers and ministers, some were business owners. I found out all manner of detail on my great-grandfather who was a Methodist minister through the journals at Drew University, which is the archives for the Methodist church.
- What was going on in the nation politically, socially, and economically that shaped their lives ? Of course most of us know the enormous role that race played. What was the news of the day? What about locally? Blackpast is one of my favorite sites for researching African American history timelines. I found out long after my paternal grandmother died that there was a lynching in her town of Salisbury, MD while she lived there in the 1930s…I would have liked to ask her about that experience.
- What kinds of technology impacted their lives? My mother remembers the exact year her family got a television set. My maternal grandmother recalled life before refrigerators, which is still hard for me to imagine. But then I tell younger people that we didn't have the internet or email when I was in college, they look at me like I'm 100 years old!
- What games did they play as kids? What did they do for fun? My grandmother talked about going to shows/parties at school (which somehow would never have occurred to me in rural Tennessee) but also about spending lots of time socially at church. Her father told the children folktales that she remembered very fondly, scary stories at that.
- If they got to go, what did their schoolhouse look like? What subjects were taught and how long did they go for? Did many people in the community get to go to school, or was that something only a lucky few got to do? I found a picture of my grandmothers Tennessee schoolhouse (which burned down in the 1940s) in "Negro School Records" at the State Archives…she would have enjoyed seeing that.
- What music did they listen to? Did they have a radio? (you can find that data on the 1930 census) What movies did they watch?
- What kinds of food did they eat regularly? This link talks about foods the enslaved ate. My great-uncle who grew up on Maryland's Eastern Shore, recalled the fresh crabs they caught and the oyster fritters and other seafood treats.
I could go on and on…this is just a small sampling of the multitude of thoughts that go through my head when I am trying to recreate my ancestors' lives. What questions do you ask yourself when wondering what their lives were like?

Considered by many to be the pinnacle of C5 achievement, the '04 Z06 was much more than a simple carryover from prior model years. Suspension, rather than drivetrain enhancements, were the order of the day, with the targeted goals of refining vehicle dynamics to produce the best-riding and -handling Z of its generation. A combination of higher-durometer bushings in the upper control arms, revised shock valving, and a new rear-sway-bar mount made the car a beast on the road course, while simultaneously providing a less aggressive ride at low speed. Having undergone significant development testing at the famed Nrburgring, the '04 Z06 was the perfect performance car in which to drive to work during the week and play hard on the weekends.
After owning a black '02 convertible for a couple of years, Houston's Stephanie Cemo decided that her longing for increased power and handling outweighed the top-down benefits of a convertible, and she set her sights on upgrading to a Z06. Although the final year of C5 Z06 production was winding down, a nationwide search turned up a Machine Silver Metallic six-speed Z in Atlanta. After taking delivery of the car, it wasn't long before Cemo was afflicted with the racing bug.
"My brother Jason asked me if I wanted to go to the drag strip. It sounded like fun, so off we went," she says. "Although I freaked out when he hopped out of the passenger seat as we approached the burnout box, the starting-line personnel were eager to assist me and got me lined up in the groove. After clocking a 12.5 on the first pass, it started an eight-month love affair with the drag strip, [during which] I would attend four nights a week and eventually post an 11.7 quarter-mile e.t. with just a cam swap and sticky drag radials."
With competition clearly in her blood, the lure of the road course eventually beckoned. Rather than simply attending a track day, Stephanie decided to enroll in the Skip Barber Racing School at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California. Three days of intense instruction-both in the classroom and behind the wheel of a Formula open-wheel race car-followed, during which time Cemo immersed herself in heel-and-toe downshifting, threshold braking, trail braking, corner apexing, and other performance-driving skills.
"The instruction was tremendous, and I would highly recommend it to aspiring racers and daily drivers alike," says Cemo. "In addition to learning the myriad of techniques used in competitive racing, you also work on the subtleties, such as car control, for smoother transitions that will allow you to achieve faster lap times."
In May of 2005, Cemo took on her first track day at nearby Texas World Speedway in College Station. By the third session, she had advanced from the beginner group to the intermediate category. By the end of the second day, Cemo had graduated to the advanced group. Since then, she has consistently sought instruction to refine her road-race skills and attended every available track day at TWS. Although the learning curve was steep, Cemo is now the course's newest instructor
"I love instructing students," she says. "After all, the perks of being an instructor are free track time!" Asked to explain the allure of road racing, Cemo provided the following overview of a partial lap at TWS: "Turns 1 through 3 are a series of long, left-hand sweepers with lots of track to utilize, allowing for a great deal of speed. As I accelerate down the front straight at 140 in Fourth gear, the Z06 is positioned in a straight line for the tower. I execute some trail braking for a few seconds, then get off the brakes while allowing the car to ride out to the right-hand edge of the track.

Dear 2016 Democratic Upstart
To: 2016 White House Candidates (Democrats Only)
Subject: How to Break with President Obama
Since you have time to read an unsolicited memo with such a provocative subject line, it is safe to assume that your name is not Hillary or Joe.
That's good because I am not writing for the establishment types—Clinton and Biden—who are convinced that the nomination is rightfully theirs if only they choose to run. Instead, this advice is aimed at the long shots, the crazed gamblers, and the hell-with-the-odds dreamers. You are the ones who fantasize about becoming the Gene McCarthy, the Gary Hart, the Howard Dean, and the Barack Obama of 2016.
Let me start with the year 1960. Do you know its significance beyond the Kennedy-Nixon debates? It was the last time that any presidential candidate (incumbent presidents aside) was handed the nomination rather than having to fight for it. And even in 1960 Richard Nixon had to bow and scrape before Nelson Rockefeller to head off a primary challenge.
What this means is that you have a chance no matter how daunting the polls or lopsided the potential fund-raising gap. Someone is going to be embraced by grassroots Democratic activists as the different-drummer alternative—and it could easily be you. But to be anointed THE CHALLENGER with capital letters, you have to be peddling more than the Maryland Miracle, the Colorado Comeback, the Albany Apotheosis or an uplifting personal story about how you grew up on a played-out rutabaga farm as the child of alcoholic parents.
To succeed, you have to anticipate the answer to a very tricky question: On the eve of the 2016 Iowa caucuses, what aspects of the Obama presidency will have angered, exasperated or disappointed loyal Democrats? The answer explains whom you will become—the candidate who convincingly promises to save the Democrats from Obama's deficiencies.
At this point, you are probably mounting the obvious counter-argument: "Shouldn't I tightly wrap myself around Obama? His approval rate among Democrats is about 80 percent. It would be suicidal to criticize a president that popular."
History, though, suggests that Obama will not always have approval ratings as high as temperatures after global warming. Second terms are inevitably sad—FDR with court packing and a second recession; Harry Truman with scandals and Korea; LBJ with Vietnam; Bill Clinton with impeachment.
Maybe Obama will avoid the second-term curse, though the evidence so far isn't promising. But if Obama somehow is still wildly popular at the time of the Iowa caucuses, then you as an outsider probably won't stand a chance. If Democrats in 2016 crave continuity, if they long for a third Obama term in the White House, then, frankly, you will be wasting your time visiting all 99 Iowa counties and begging strangers for seed money. As a candidate unconnected to the Obama administration, your only realistic hope is to capitalize on Democratic disappointment with the president's second term.
Let me deal with your other obvious objection: "Why can't I just wait to see how the president's second term plays out before I say anything that might antagonize Obama loyalists? Shouldn't I just watch the polls until 2015?"
If you wait until late 2015 to criticize part of the president's record, your dissent will come across as craven rather than courageous. Think of Hillary Clinton's awkwardly distancing of herself from the Iraq War in 2008, even though Democratic primary voters knew that she had voted for it in the Senate. Howard Dean rose from nowhere in mid-2003 because he was the only major Democrat running who had been unalterably opposed to the invasion of Iraq from the beginning. Sometimes in presidential politics, when matters more than whether and right from the start trumps being correct right now.
That's why 2013 is a perfect time to express skepticism about portions of the Obama record. If you say something now with the right tone, it will be perceived as a sincere expression of deep conviction. The longer you wait, the more poll-tested and political your critiques of Obama will be regarded.
Please understand, I am not recommending that you go on Fox News and emulate Karl Rove. I am not suggesting that you start giving mournful speeches about the tragedy of godless, left-wing libertines driving Michele Bachmann out of Congress. Nor do you have to arrange a lunch with Donald Trump to brandish a certified copy of your birth certificate.
Instead, any criticisms of Obama should be delivered in a sympathetic but sorrowful tone. If possible, stress how the Republicans put Obama in a difficult position, but that, under similar circumstances, you would have made different decisions. Treat errant Cabinet members like Eric Holder as if they got their jobs by heredity or by winning the Powerball lottery. And try to ground your critiques of the president in Democratic orthodoxy.
Below are some Obama policies that deserve Democratic dissent on their merits and may trouble activists when the 2016 presidential season rolls around:
NSA Phone Monitoring and Data Mining: Defenders of civil liberties are sadly asking themselves, "If we can't trust Obama, who said all the right things on these issues in 2008, who can we trust?" If you plan on courting this wing of the Democratic Party in 2016, you must do more than utter a few sentence of blather about "better congressional oversight." Right now, you should start making the case—and it's not an easy one—why you would always cleave to your principles, even if handed the keys to the Oval Office.
Targeting the Press: Feel free to publicly blame overzealous prosecutors working for Eric Holder for the vacuum-cleaner sweep of AP phone records and the legal argument that a Fox News reporter might be a co-conspirator under the Espionage Act. But, to be brutally honest in private, we all know that the roots of the problem are Obama's embrace of many get-tough aspects of Bush national security policy.
The Drone War: This may fade as an issue after Obama's recent speech at the National Defense University. But the policy of carrying out airborne assassinations without risking American casualties may prove irresistible to the president in the years ahead. If you are going to speak out on the issue, it would be a good idea to begin your remarks by harking back to the Church Committee. That mid-1970s Senate investigation, named after its Democratic chairman Frank Church, highlighted the folly and the blowback risks of two decades of CIA assassination plots.
Guantanamo: Of course, Republican grandstanding on national security is partly to blame here. But Obama has also been complicit in waiting six months after his reelection to begin the lengthy process of using his legal powers to repatriate Guantanamo prisoners to Yemen.
I sense that, by now, you are thinking, "Most voters don't care about national-security issues in peacetime." But, at the moment, you're not concerned with most voters—your target audience is the much smaller universe of Democratic activists in states like Iowa. And they do care about Guantanamo, drones, and leak investigations running amok.
The Sequester: This may prove to be the most insidious policy idea to come out of the Obama White House. By grotesquely miscalculating GOP resistance to Pentagon cuts (take a bow, Jack Lew), the administration is now stuck with an across-the-board evisceration of the domestic discretionary budget. And that money is never coming back during the Obama presidency, barring a miraculous Democratic takeover of the House in 2014.
Campaign Reform: For the sake of brevity, let's stipulate that Citizens United was grotesque and the Republicans are worse. But before the 2012 campaign, Obama never chose to use the government's existing regulatory powers to rein in super PACs and partisan advocacy groups masquerading as guileless nonprofits. Now after the IRS scandal, it is impossible for Obama to do anything on the regulatory front. But, these days, the president is about as credible a campaign reformer Boss Tweed. Nothing in his second term has been as cynical as setting up the new Obama advocacy group, Organizing for Action, using the same 501(c)4 IRS loophole employed by Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS.
As a 2016 maverick without the financial resources of a Hillary Clinton, you should be thinking about how to experiment with ways of using social media and micro-targeting to avoid mortgaging your soul to pay for increasingly ineffective TV ads. Remember, the less time you spend fundraising in Park Avenue living rooms, the less likely you are to be swayed by Wall Street arguments about the deficit, the future of Social Security and Medicare, and the inequities of Dodd-Frank.
Economic Growth: The 2010 electoral wipeout (and the redistricting that flowed from the GOP landslide) all but guaranteed that the Republicans would control the House for the remainder of Obama's presidency. What that means to working (and reluctantly non-working) Americans is that for six years, the only economic stimulus would come from the Federal Reserve. At this point, there is obviously no way of telling how high the Dow will be in early 2016 or how much the supposedly out-of-control deficit will have shrunk. But sadly what is all but guaranteed is that prospects will remain bleak for the long-term unemployed and under-employed. That's why it is time for you to dust off JFK's memorable slogan from the 1960 campaign, "Let's get America moving again."
As a successful Democratic politician, you can easily find blue-chip campaign consultants who will tell you what you want to hear—that all you need to run for president in 2016 is your magnetic personality, your proven record, and a few recycled slogans about the middle class. And if you believe that malarkey (hat tip: Joe Biden), then I wouldn't trust you to negotiate a sequester with Jack Lew.
Yes, it's counter-intuitive to break—however gently—with a popular president of your own party. But, in case you haven't noticed, it's also counter-intuitive for you to think about going up in 2016 against someone like Hillary Clinton or Biden.
Running for president is not for the fainthearted. But there is a void in the Democratic Party waiting to be filled by a credible figure on Obama's left flank. And if you don't have the courage to fill it in 2016, trust me, someone else will.

It's time for progressives on the left to stop focusing on Obama and turn their attention to what should have been receiving it all along: Congress. While many people, including myself, have been rightfully frustrated by the president's overly-prudent centrism and refusal to recognize he is dealing with straight-up crazy instead of regular "opposition", those on his left have entirely missed the mark. Having a more liberal president wouldn't fix things- but making a real effort on a state-by-state level would. Congress is the source of the economic terrorism that resulted in the sequester, and spinelessness in the face of the hyperbolic warnings from the Executive, from Democrats and Republicans, have resulted in the NSA fiasco. A president is a result of who is winning at the local and state levels, and liberals need to quit whining about Obama and work to build coalitions in every state that can elect progressives to city and state governments AND Congress.

Typical, well off-upper middle class liberal agenda. You and Obama cannot seem to take note of the shocking fact that that the minimum wage, for instance is $3.25/hr lower than it was 45 years ago (1968) even though per capita income is now up 80%. Double indexing LBJ's minimum for inflation and per capita income growth would have raised it to $14 and change only ten years later.
De-unionization is a much more fundamental problem eating away at the political as well as economic fabric of everyday lives. Read up about legally mandated, sector-wide labor agreements as the only way back. A system created by the right (not the left) in post-war Europe to keep labor from going on a race-to-the-top -- works equally well preventing the race-to-the-bottom. Wal-Mart closed 88 big boxes in Germany because it could not compete paying the same wages and benefits as everybody else. The system is in use in the first world (French Canada), second world (Argentina) and third world (Indonesia). If Indonesia can figure it out why can't our so called progressive (there is no other word) "elite". I guess that is because they like Obama are not very tuned to every day life.
Here is my minimum wage work sheet for you to ponder. The easily could-have-been minimum wage dbl indexed for inflation and per capita income growth:
yr..per capita...real.......nominal...dbl-index...%-of dbl-index
If it were possible to forecast to Americans of 1968 that by early 2007 25% of the workforce would be earning less than LBJ's minimum wage what would they have wondered: a comet strike, a limited nuclear exchange, repeat plagues?

Walter Shapiro says the bold man or woman will break with Obama.
Then Walter Shapiro proves he is not a bold man:
"the roots of the problem are Obama's embrace of many get-tough aspects of Bush national security policy"
"Of course, Republican grandstanding on national security is partly to blame here"
"let's stipulate that Citizens United was grotesque and the Republicans are worse"
And so on. Same old "It's all W's fault" that you get from Dems and the press (but I repeat myself) every time the real-world failings of the smartest greatest most hopiest are unhelpfully pointed out.
When you're ready to be frank, Walter, maybe then you can lecture others.

Interesting and pointless. But no one to the Left of Obama will be elected POTUS for 60 years. Here's a prediction: The goosebump crowd that got behind Obama will fall in line with Biden in Iowa who will then be utterly unable to capitalize, the rest will be with Clinton who will then coast to the nom.
Biden IS the challenger.
O'Malley has delusions of being Howard Dean, and he shall become Dean - a guy who wins exactly no primaries and fewer caucuses.

It doesn't matter who the Democrats nominate; the GOP has lost lost the demographic war. As long as 1/3 of whites vote Democrat, the Democrats will own the White House. The challenge for the Dems is to take back the House. Once that happens, then the US can tax the rich right out of existence.

I voted for Obama twice not because I thought he was a liberal or because I found him admirable in any way, but simply because he wasn't the other guy. It has turned out that he pretty nearly might just as well have been. If anyone from the current administration is the Democratic nominee next time around (and if, given my age, I am still around) and there is no credible opposition candidate, well, I'll do what I once did in New Jersey gubernatorial election: write in "George III."

Both Hillary and Joe have the same tar of corporatism as Obama despite Obama's rhetoric during the campaign. Read about his cabinet members to see the real story. Actions in the red states are alarming. Progressives are buried under Obama's centrist ideology. Time for a real challenge in 2016. There is too much pain in the country. Congress is a joke. Republicans are clowns who are not funny and far too powerful. The Supreme Court is scary. Young people are not interested in Democrat/Republican fake 24/7 year-around media campaigns. They want and need action now.

Rand Paul--unlike the President-- meets the author's criterion on civil liberties--and foreign policy.
And while Paul's adherence to Austrian austerity economics puts me off--it may be no more his true allegiance --than Wall Street's 'economic royalist' Obama and his professed adherence to FDR.
Hillary Clinton--never an Obama intimate-- can run as the challenger in precisely the way the author suggests. And likely win.
Otherwise, Rand Paul looks like the class of the field--if civil liberties and peace matter to you.
