Veblen's Possible Influence on the New Deal Land-Utilization Program as Evidenced by His Student Claud Franklin Clayton
Vaughn, Gerald F., Journal of Economic Issues
While there is considerable indirect evidence of Thorstein Veblen's influences upon New Deal policies, there are relatively few direct attributions of credit to him [Tilman 1988]. In this paper, I present one of the rarer cases of direct evidence by describing the New Deal career of economist Claud Franklin Clayton (1890-1968), who studied under Veblen at the University of Missouri. Leonard A. Salter Jr., the major historiographer of the development of land economics, ranks Clayton along with W. J. Spillman and Lewis C. Gray as the three leading figures in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) during the formative years of land economics research up to World War II [Salter 1967, 244].
Clayton's career added significant content to Veblen's principles and reveals the influence of Veblen's insights as applied during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Possibly Clayton's finest contributions came as the right-hand man to Gray in planning and overseeing the federal government's submarginal land-utilization program of the 1930s, and the origin of Clayton's contributions can be traced to his study under Veblen. This article correlates the thought of Veblen and Clayton.
Clayton earned his bachelor's (1915) and master's (1916) degrees in sociology at the University of Missouri. While majoring in sociology, he also took graduate-level economics courses from Herbert J. Davenport and Veblen. Clayton's master's thesis, "The Theory of Social Unity," which was supervised by Charles A. Ellwood, was a study in social psychology and particularly social solidarity. In his thesis, there is this acknowledgment to Veblen:
For what follows and for much of what has preceded, general acknowledgement of indebtedness is due to Professor T. B. Veblen. Where possible this obligation is indicated by specific references in the footnotes to Professor Veblen's published works. But, through classroom work and otherwise, the present writer's indebtedness to Professor Veblen is general, rather than specific, so that it has not always been possible to follow the customary method of direct citation by way of acknowledgement. Such citations of this character as it has seemed feasible to introduce will not be taken, therefore, as indicating the full extent of the present writer's sense of this general indebtedness [Clayton 1916, 41-431.
In Joseph Dorfman's biography of Veblen, Clayton is quoted as saying "those of us who sat with Veblen and learned to know his thought, ultimately learned that what so often appeared irrelevant to the problem in hand, represented in reality the probing of a remarkable intellect into the roots of our modern civilisation" [Clayton, quoted in Dorfman 1934, 3141.
One could infer that Clayton was a disciple, not merely a student, of Veblen. Even many years later, he wrote that he considered Veblen to be the "profoundest thinker of my time (among men I have personally known)," and as "an analyst of the genesis and nature of institutions, Veblen is, I think, without a peer in the history of thought" [Clayton 1959, 154-155]. He had been astounded by "Veblen's insight into the springs of human behavior" that create habits of thought (institutions), which in Veblen's conception imprison mankind: "Man motivated by an 'instinct of workmanship' and frustrated by archaic habits of thought was the underlying theme of Veblen's teaching" [Clayton 1959, 158[. Yet here is what Clayton concluded:
Veblen showed us the prison, but he did not show us the way out of it. He did not try to. If he cared about the matter at all, he may have felt that there is no way out. I doubt very much, in any case, that he would regard the question of a way out as of any importance. But I do. And that is one of the reasons why I can not properly be classed as a disciple of Veblen, as my :friend, Professor John D. Black, used to call me [Clayton 1959, 158].
One may understand and forgive Black's mistake, since Clayton's thought and distinguished career clearly reveal the Veblenian influence. …

Lovely room, spoilt by noise
The room was excellent but due to a wedding reception going on onsite, we did not sleep well.
Unfortunately the bass was very loud, which was a shame since the room was lovely.

Bedroom poor layout.
Insufficient room for bedside table.left in dangerous position. Bedroom 'freezing!' Overnight. Impossible to use bath as a shower or bath as sides of bath too high for access. No hand grips to assist. Very high charges for breakfast and dinner, beyond our budget. We were forced to leave hotel after one night, of a planned 5three night stay because room so uncomfortable. Lady Manager gave us £70 refund from payment of over £200. Poor value, approx £140 for a one night stay with no breakfast.he also promised a 'good deal' on a future booking. I decided to book a two day break at your Maidstone Mercury hotel and asked her to obtain the best deal but she was 'unable to send an Email from her terminal'
Absolutely no provision for elderly guests I am 82 and my wife 79.

The hotel is a charming historic building in lovely grounds close to the centre of Telford.
On the night I stayed I found it extremely quiet, with comfortable lounges and a restaurant with good chef and attentive staff. My room was in the gables up two flights of spiral staircases, entirely adequate but quirky. There is apparently only one single room with a walk in shower but there was a hand-held shower over the bath; and restricted wardrobe space (gable means restricted height.)

Impressive building and grounds.the grounds were beautiful and just right to wear out an energetic dog.
We were put in annexe because of dog, but this was very acceptable and comfortable. We only realised when we arrived that it was room only, but had breakfasts on one of our days which was quite expensive (cost more than a delicious pub meal we had night before!) . Gripes were no radio in room, shower was good when the hot water eventually got through which was a good couple of minutes standing trying to avoid a cold shower. Stupid half-size wooden headboard; room approach was over a muddy mound instead of clean steps, and subsequently could have done with a door mat to save muddy footmarks on carpet.

Beautiful old hotel with wonderful grounds.
Room was good and clean.
Fabulous hotel with so much character and history
My husband was unable to manage the stairs to the room allocated but the staff were very helpful in finding us another more suitable.

Fantastic stay cannot fault it we will visit again
clean and comfortable room with friendly and efficient service in a superbly restored 16th Century manor house - recommended to anyone for a quiet short or longer stay.

PavanoAllstars wrote: The best news I heard was that he's been swinging hard and when he's missed pitches he's felt fine.
Dan Hickling, Globe Correspondent wrote:PORTLAND, Maine - No homers. But no problems, either.
Red Sox slugger David Ortiz continued his minor league rehab stint last night in the first of what is scheduled to be a three-game set with the Double A Portland Sea Dogs. And while he didn't hit one out of the ballpark, as he did in each of three games with Pawtucket last week, his night was productive just the same.
Ortiz had two singles and a walk in four plate appearances, then left in the sixth inning as Portland beat the Connecticut Defenders, 8-2, before a capacity crowd of 7,368 at Hadlock Field. He showed no signs, and felt no symptoms, of the partially torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, which has kept him out of the Boston lineup since May 31.
"I think right now, I'm very close to being 100 percent," Ortiz said. "Very close. Not too far away. I know myself really good, and I know when things are going bad, and when things are going good. Being out for that long, I never thought I would be the way I am."
Ortiz walked in his first at-bat against Connecticut righthander Joey Martinez, a former standout at Boston College. Ortiz fell behind, 1 and 2, then worked a walk, checking his swing on an 84-mile-per-hour slider for ball four. He scored on a two-run single by Josh Reddick, who had just been promoted from Lancaster.
Ortiz's second plate appearance was briefer. With Portland leading, 5-1, in the second inning and Mickey Hall on second, Ortiz took two balls, then laced an opposite-field single to left field, moving Hall to third.
Martinez finally retired Ortiz in the fourth inning, getting him to pop to first with the bases empty and one out. The pitch was a 77-m.p.h. curve that might have been too tantalizing for Ortiz to lay off.
"You know you're facing young kids, and the kid I was facing tonight threw me some pitches that are major league pitches," Ortiz said. "He tried to hit the spot inside, and come back with his changeup. Me, as a big league hitter, I'm like 'wow, that's pretty impressive.' "
Ortiz finished his night in the bottom of the sixth with a bit of a flourish, muscling an RBI broken-bat single to right off Nate Bump, who relieved Martinez a batter earlier. Iggy Suarez scored on the play to make it 8-2, and moments later Ortiz was replaced by pinch runner Lars Anderson.
With two more games to get his timing down, Ortiz said his approach is no different now than when his rehab began in Pawtucket last week.
"Not really," he said. "I guess all I am worried about is to make sure my wrist is fine, and keep working on my timing."
The pitching coach of the Defenders is none other than former Red Sox reliever Bob Stanley. Asked how he has been preparing his young hurlers for Ortiz, Stanley's pregame advice was simple.
"I told them to go right after him and see what you can do," Stanley said. "He's a human being. I tell them, don't change your style. Just go up there and challenge him. Try to get him out, then you can always say you got David Ortiz out.
"We'll pitch him differently than [Toledo] did in Pawtucket. The fans didn't come here to watch him walk. Unless the winning run's on second, and there's an open base."
PavanoAllstars wrote:what gives? No home run? I'm so dissapointed...
Dan Hickling, Globe Correspondent wrote:PORTLAND, Maine - A cynic might say David Ortiz has found Double A pitchers a bit tougher than their Triple A counterparts.
Or it just might be that the Red Sox slugger is sufficiently rehabbed from the wrist injury that has sidelined him since May 30.
In his second start as designated hitter for the Portland Sea Dogs last night, Ortiz got one step closer to returning to the Sox lineup.
Perhaps as soon as Friday against the New York Yankees.
Facing Double A pitching for the second night in a row, Ortiz went 0 for 4 and reached on an error in an 18-6 Connecticut romp.
Ortiz did not speak after the game, but he did meet the media before the game following a rousing batting practice session in which he peppered the Hadlock Field seats for 11 home runs.
"It's good," he said of the partially torn tendon sheath in his left wrist. "I feel good. I feel better every day."
He had hit safely in his first four rehab appearances, homering in all three with the Pawtucket Red Sox. He was 2 for 3 in Monday's debut with the Sea Dogs.
Ortiz dug in against Connecticut's Garrett Broshuis with two outs and none on in the first and struck out on eight pitches.
After getting ahead, 2-0 and 3-1, Ortiz took a called strike, then fouled off two straight. Then Broshuis came inside with an 80-mile-per-hour curveball, which Ortiz took for strike three.
Leading off the fourth, Ortiz fell behind, 1 and 2, then reached on a strange infield error. His chopper down the line was booted by first baseman Adam Witter and caromed to second baseman Dave Maroul, whose lob to Broshuis - covering first in plenty of time - was dropped.
Ortiz moved to third after Portland loaded the bases, then scored when Argenis Diaz's slow roller was misplayed by shortstop Kyle Haines.
When Ortiz led off the fifth, the Defenders employed the "Papi shift," with Haines moving to the right side of second, where he snared Ortiz's slow roller and threw him out easily.
Ortiz's night ended in the seventh when reliever Adam Cowart got him on a bouncer to first.
With one more tuneup game in Portland tonight, Ortiz has already thought ahead to his return.
"When I get back in the lineup," said Ortiz, noting the Sox' offensive woes during their current West Coast swing, "it's going to look different than it normally is. But we all know how to deal with the bad times and the good times."
In five minor league games, Ortiz is 5 for 16 (.313) with 5 runs, 3 homers, 6 RBIs, 5 walks, and 3 strikeouts.

"It's done, West Virginia is where I want to be and I'm very confident of my decision," Tyler told me earlier today.
Last season Tyler averaged 21 points and six assists while playing for the McQuaid Jesuit High School team in Rochester, NY.
The 6-1 175 pound sharpshooter chose West Virginia over Clemson, Penn State, and Rhode Island. Each of his favorites had offered him a full scholarship at the time of his commitment to the Mountaineers.

ROYERSFORD — This was the double dual meet the Spring-Ford coaches had circled as the special one at the beginning of the season.
The Rams were finally going to be home again, running on their own course after four weeks on the road. Making it all the more special was the tough PAC-10 competition they would be facing, with Pottsgrove and Perkiomen Valley the visitors.
The Rams celebrated their homecoming in style with two individual wins and a team upset Wednesday.
Rams standout Paul Power easily won the boys race with a sizzling 15:38 in the sudden summer heat. And Spring-Ford's Sam Christman just as easily won the girls race with a personal best 19:19, holding off a very tough group of Vikings runners.
But the big shocker came when the team scores were added up and the Spring-Ford boys had beaten Pottsgrove by one point, 27-28, snapping the Falcons (6-1) dual meet winning streak of nearly three years.
The Rams boys (7-1) made it a sweep, also beating Perk Valley (4-3), 25-31, with Pottsgrove beating the Vikings, 25-30.
The Vikings girls (6-1), led by Morgan Faust crossing second (19:54), got a bit of a revenge making it a team sweep by holding off the Rams (5-3), 22-39, and beating Pottsgrove 15-50, while Spring-Ford (5-3) beat Pottsgrove (3-4), 17-45.
"When the schedule came out, we really circled this date,' said Rams head coach Brian Sullivan. "Not only because of Pottsgrove being the defending champions in the state (AA) and being undefeated for so long, but we were on the road for four consecutive weeks and this is our first opportunity to run at home. We do a lot of practicing on this course, do a lot of workouts on the course, and were just itching to get on our course for once and not having to take a bus ride somewhere.
"And with Pottsgrove and PV both quality teams coming in here, we really wanted to make it a statement today, go out there and run well. And we did. Being home was a tremendous advantage for us, absolutely. I think had this meet been either at Pottsgrove or at Perk Valley we might be looking at a totally different score. Cross country is one of the only sports that has a real home court advantage. Because you can go from week to week and run on totally different courses each week, unlike a football field, which is always 100 yards. Being home is an advantage in cross country.'
But Pottsgrove, the defending PAC-10, District 1-AA, and PIAA-AA champ, had beaten that home court advantage of every one else for nearly three years and 20-plus dual meets.
"Twenty, 23, I'm not sure,' said veteran Falcons coach Larry Rechtin. "We hadn't lost a dual meet since, oh gosh ....' and he had to think a while. And then it came back.
"Our first meet of 2011, we lost to Methacton,' Rechtin finally recalled. "Oh, it hurts (to lose this one). You want to win; you're competing. But you keep everything in perspective the entire season. And we got a wake-up call today. Spring-Ford ran and wanted it worse than we did. They were much more aggressive than we were. They beat us. So we have to regroup and run better. I think we can. I know we can. This was not one of our better performances.
"If you're aspiring for the goals that we're aspiring for, if you're looking to be competitive at the state level again, then you have to take care of business. There are no excuses.'
It was the Rams' Josh Tupper who ultimately pulled out that team win, nipping the Falcons' Josh Toth by a nose at the end, with Tupper crossing sixth (16:41), and Josh Toth at seventh (also 16:41). One of the Falcons top runners, Ky'lif Underwood, was unable to finish the race after getting ill along the way.
As for the individual winner, nobody was going to take that away from Power, who is the spark plug of this Rams boys squad. Power hasn't lost a dual yet this season and is the clear favorite going into the championship meet.
"I always go out with the mindset, it's going to be a close race,' Power said. "So I try to go out my hardest and run a good race. And try to win it for the team. It was really nice running at home finally. We had a home scrimmage but this was our first official PAC-10 meet at home.
'Beating Pottsgrove feels really good. This is a nice win, but we still have to look forward to the rest of the season. Our job isn't done yet; we still have the PAC-10s. But we knew that we can do it now. We have the confidence.'
Power had his work cut out for him last year, running against all those now-departed seniors. This year he knew there was a possibility to go undefeated in duals this season.
"I just try to run my best and see what happens,' he said. "I don't really pay attention that much to how far the other guys are behind me.'
The Falcons' Derek Lopez, who took second with a 16:18, sure was paying attention.
"I felt like I could run with him (Power) for most of the race,' Lopez said. "I feel like we're on the same level. He's kind of like my rival because we're both in the same grade (juniors), so every time we race it's competitive. I wanted to pull my team along, so I then let him go so my guys would see me and I would pull them along. I know we all ran really hard.
"It's a really flat course, and we're not really used to that. These are two every good teams; they have good runners. I feel like every race gets you better for next race.'
Next up is Methacton, with the Warriors boys now the only undefeated team left at 7-0.
The third boy runner across was the Vikings usual top man, Dave Garton (16:22). After early-season difficulties, Garton was finally happier with his race.
"I feel healthier and I think I raced pretty well today,' Garton said. "I just kind of came out and did what I wanted to. I would have liked to beat Derek Lopez, but he ran a great race, came back and got me. But I was happy, feel good again. Healthy and fast.
"I think the PAC-10 team championship is going to be closer this year than ever since I've been in high school. Every year there has been a clear favorite. This year I thought Pottsgrove would be it, and Spring-Ford won today. Methacton will contest both of them. And our team — if we run well — we could be up there. Individually, I think the top five will be really competitive this year. Except for Paul (Power)!'
The upset on the boys side stole some of the limelight from the girls race.
That couldn't take away Christman's excitement though.
Christman admitted it was the best race she has ever run, storming away from the field and finishing way out front after managing to fend off a tough field, the heat, but also an asthma attack.
"I can't even put in words how happy I am,' Christman said. "It was a big win for me. I do have asthma and it makes it hard. But there's no excuses, you've just got to push through it. Everyone has different problems. It was really hot, but that kind of goes away when you're focusing on the race. I was focusing on the win and that really helped getting the weather out of my mind.
"I came into this race really pumped up. I paced off the top PV girl (Faust), and she is really good, and she really helped pace me early. But I was very surprised with the gap that I got. I'm happy now. This race was kind of a preview of what's going to happen and I'm really excited that I ran well today.'
And she gave a big shout out to former Spring-Ford and Rider University standout Heather Giovagnoli, who returned this year as an assistant Rams coach.
"Heather helps train me and I wouldn't be where I am without her,' Christman said. "She definitely made a big difference.'
"I have to be running with Sam, otherwise she'd be out there doing the workouts by herself,' Giovagnoli said. "So I just kind of tag along for the ride.'
Because Christman has really moved to the far front on her team.
With this double win, the Perk Valley girls, once a PAC-10 powerhouse, are right back in the team race again.
"It was a good win,' Perk Valley coach Ryan Sullivan said. "The girls continue to improve. It's a very young team. The times are a little disappointing just because it was so hot out today. But I was happy. We're coming along. We still need to improve a little bit to have a chance of beating Owen J. (Roberts) at PAC-10. We just have to get a little bit better each week.'

Selfish has just one failing, and it's that she won't sew anything for anyone else. And I'm beginning to understand why. I'm working on one of her designs (Selfish has made her lovely dress pattern available for the whole world to download for free! Maybe she's not so selfish) for a friend, and there are a few challenges already in this projects that I don't encounter when sewing for myself.
Since I'm not really sewing for myself now, I'm sewing for a friend. But it's tricky. I'm in Germany, and she's in Spain, so there will be no in person fittings. Or any at all. I have her measurements (triple checked), and some experience with this pattern. So it has to work. I already did a full waist adjustment that I thought wold be more complicated than it was. My friend's measurements don't line up neatly in one column (but, really, do anyone's line up perfectly?). In fact, she's two burdastyle sizes larger in the waist than the bust and hips. So I just blended the lines between sizes. Not that hard. I measured the pattern flat and determined that if I made it without an adjustment, the zipper would not go up. My goal is for the zipper to go up and the bust not to gape too much with extra fabric. We'll see how it goes.
Pattern: Coffee Date Dress, designed by Elaine of the aforementioned http://www.selfishseamstress.wordpress.com
Fabric: Anna Marie Horner's Innocent Crush. I also have some red cotton from the craft store that I may use for piping around the neck and armholes. And for a secret bonus project. We'll see if I want to do the piping.
Progress so far: I've adjusted the pattern, cut the pieces, transferred the markings, and stabilized the facings. On Friday, I have the whole day off! No work, no cheer, a whole day for me to sew! And maybe knit some. We'll see.

Living in the cabin
Saunas are for the young, old, daring and the bored in the middle of the winter. It feels so good to get warm in zero and below temperatures, with 10 to 12 feet of snow and more slowly falling out of the sky. Its time to fire up the sauna. In our case in our younger years, we had a sauna cabin that had to be fired up (Bob's job) about two hours before you could shed all your clothes and enter into the steaming good smelling cedar room. There was a small one man Jacuzzi tub in the corner

This recent cold snap has reminded me of our earlier days after we built our house in the mud and the rain in 1993. That winter, it snowed so much we were snowed in. We had to leave our vehicle at the cul-de-sac about a block away and we walked out or in all that winter.

Upon further research and mind-bending, I changed my teachers name from Mr. Williamson to Mr. Dean, thanks to my sister Ginger.
When it came time for me to graduate from eighth grade, and as I was the only one in my class, seventh graders participated also. I did not want to be on the stage by myself so Mr. Dean arranged for seventh grade girls to sit on stage with me.

Military strikes against Iran no longer an option: IAEA chief
PARIS (AFP) – UN nuclear watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei says in an interview to be broadcast Sunday/today that he believed the possibility of a military attack on Iran's nuclear installations had been ruled out.
"I believe so," he said when asked if he thought that after U.S. President George W. Bush stood down it was no longer likely that there would be a military strike.

On Tuesday April 21st, the Butte County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 (Wahl dissenting) to ban disposal and storage of fracking byproduct waste water in injection wells. While FFBC has been working for a full ban on fracking, we generally feel that passage of this ordinance is good news and a major step toward protecting our aquifer from fracking-related contamination.
Kudos to the Board and to all our supporters and concerned citizens who have worked so hard over the past few years. We're not done yet, as the ordinance to ban all fracking activities will be put to the voters in June 2016, but this is definitely a victory worth celebrating.
Water is Butte County's most valuable resource, with Northern California providing over 85 percent of all of California's water needs
Frack-Free Butte County is a grassroots group of citizen-advocates and volunteers seeking to protect our good groundwater and healthy communities from the risks of hydraulic fracturing and other toxic stimulation methods used to maximize fossil fuel extraction.
Butte County hosts no oil deposits, and a very modest amount of natural gas. About 20-30 wells are currently producing gas, while some 200+ wells are inactive or plugged.
Any of these existing gas wells may be subjected to stimulation via fracking, acidizing or other technique to release natural gas trapped in pockets in a sandstone formation.
Any of these existing gas wells may be utilized for disposal of 'produced' water from fracking and other fossil fuel extraction, from wells in or outside of Butte County.
Butte County's aquifers are at risk of contamination from risky fracking and poorly-monitored fracking waste disposal.
Frack-Free Butte County is pursuing several avenues to fight efforts taken by the oil industry and its front groups.
We are fighting fracking in the County as well as hazardous oil trains traveling through the County and state.
The oil companies will spend millions of dollars to keep our proposed initiative off the ballot - they already succeeded in delaying the ballot initiative until June, 2016. Now we must all pull together to counter their heavy spending by supporting the County's proposed ban.
Here's how you can help:
¨ Post a lawn sign - available for a nominal $5 donation:
¨ Contact your County Supervisor TODAY to urge a vote on a binding ordinance against fracking as soon as possible.
- Make a donation of $20 or more to: Frack-Free Butte County, PO Box 6395, Chico, CA 95927
¨ Volunteer at the FFBC website by clicking the Volunteer button
¨ Write a letter to the editors of our local papers in support of a ban on fracking and fracking waste disposal.
¨ Check out our latest news on our Facebook page and like, comment, post and share
¨ Sign up to volunteer for our Farmer's Market table – reach out to the community for a few hours each week/ month. Contact Chair Michael McLaughlin via email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or via telephone at 530-518-7248.
¨ Host an event aimed at reaching out to friends, neighbors and like-minded supporters. Past events include wine tasting with an Amador County expert, beer tasting with a local brewmaster, and the late winter supper featuring wild-caught game and farmer's market fare. In April our spring cleaning sale netted close to $1200, and the Musical Chairs Project featuring a summer evening w/local musician Stevie Cook brought in over $1600. Events like these promote our cause while engaging the local community in your private setting, indoors or out. Our fundraising team is available to advise and assist.
Frack-Free Butte County's goal continues to be to ensure Butte County's water supply is safe, clean, and abundant and to protect the County's agricultural legacy.
# # #
Dear Fellow Supporters,
The time has come for all of us to redouble our efforts to safeguard our community's water resources. We knew it would happen at some point—the oil and gas industries would reach into their deep pockets and pull out some pricey tricks designed to foil our attempts to ban fracking in our own county. And now they have!
The coming months are crucial to protecting our water and air, our health and safety and the food grown in Butte County that feeds people all across the country! We cannot ban fracking without your help. Frack-Free Butte County wants to be your megaphone too.
As always Frack-Free Butte County's main goal continues to be to ensure Butte County's water supply is safe, clean, and abundant and to protect the County's agricultural legacy.
The Frack-Free Butte County Team

BOSTON -- On May 15, 2003, Pedro Martinez and the Red Sox beat the Rangers, 12-3. It was the first of 794 consecutive games -- 820, if you count the postseason -- to sell out Fenway Park.
On Wednesday night, that streak -- the longest in the history of professional sports -- came to an end. Only 30,862 tickets were sold for Wednesday's game, an 8-5 loss to the Orioles on a rainy night. The Sox knew well before Wednesday night that Opening Day would be the final sellout of the remarkable run, and also say that some other games this month are unlikely to sell out.
So Wednesday became a time to reflect on 10 years of packed houses.
"The streak is a reflection of a phenomenal period of baseball in Boston and of America's greatest ballpark," Red Sox principal owner John W. Henry said in a written statement. "But more than that, it is a testament to the baseball passion of New England fans. As we close the book on this incredible era, we look forward to another with a renewed certainty that the next couple of generations of Red Sox fans will also be enjoying baseball at the ever magical Fenway Park."
But the Red Sox know the end of the streak is due in part to their disastrous 2012 season.
"We know part of the reason it's over is that we failed last year," Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. "So we take responsibility for that. Hopefully the focus of this was that it was a remarkable run for the team and for our fans. I remember a lot of miserable, cold rainy nights when people sat there and for it to last as long as it is amazing. It's on us now to make it start a new one at some point."
Several players, along with manager John Farrell who was pitching coach from 2007-10, have never played in front of a home crowd that was not considered a sellout.
"It's incredible," Farrell said. "I don't know that it's matched anywhere in sports. It was clearly the result of a lot of success on the field, a lot of very good teams, very good superstar individual players . . . [We] fully understand that it's the results of maybe some recent happenings here, but our goal is to not only have a team that represents those teams that created that streak, but to have people come back into this ballpark even though it might not be capacity. But I think that every effort is being made to have that type of team that people want to watch. I think we're on the right path with that."

O Lord, the God of Heaven
Do not hide thy face from me
May my prayer come before you
Lord, do not ignore my plea
For my soul is greatly troubled
And my life draws near the grave
I am counted with the fallen
But am I one thou will not save?
I have been forgotten
I have been severed from thy hand
My strength hath been expended;
No longer can I stand
To the lowest pit Ive sunk
Of your bitter cup, Ive drunk
and I am overwhelmed
My closest friends shun thoughts of me
I am repulsive to their eyes
I cannot come forth, I am confined
avoided and despised
I call to thee O Lord
Do you show your wonders to the dead?
If I spread my hands before you,
Would you reach out or turn your head?
Do you show faithfulness in Abaddon?
Is your love declared in death?
Are you known in the Land of Oblivion?
Can the dead praise without breath?
Why dost thou reject me?
Why hidest thou thy face?
Daily, I cry out for help,
Hast thou withdrawn thy grace?
I long hath been afflicted
Its no new phenomenon,
But I have sunken to despair
And I cannot go on.
The darkness is my one companion left
The Suffering by ladyofthef0restWatch
©2008-2016 ladyofthef0rest
I wrote this based on my favorite psalm 88, and it applied to my life at the time so well
I'm atheist agnostic, but I like your idea to give the old english some kind of rebirth, I really laughed when reading "Why dost thou reject me?" - but somehow I love it. I may not participate in your belief of god, but I like your motivation to get some ... ... artificial style into it. It has some good verses too.
I really think this piece has some potential. My biggest problem lies with the rhyme scheme, it feels far too forced and impeeds the flow of the poem. The King James speech doesn't help much either. I do love the subject matter and the moodiness, but I think it really could use that angry Sylvia Plath touch of sarcasm. Check out her religiously dark poem, the Moon and the Yew Tree. It's dark and painful, but there is a touch of venom to it which gives it that extra feeling of power.

Review: Jem and the Holograms #1
At the beginning of March, I wrote about the reboot of the 80s cartoon Jem and the Holograms as a comic. At the time, I was skeptical about the reboot. Jem and the Holograms is a treasured memory from my childhood and I didn't want to see it ruined. Fortunately, IDW put the book into […]

I'll show you WINTER.
Seasonally enough, last night I attended Blizzard of Voices, an oratorio by Paul Moravec (husband to your friend and mine Wendy Lamb). While you might have thought the warm and woody Jordan Hall would have been an oasis in Boston's horrible weather, Moravec's commemoration of the 1888 Schoolhouse Blizzard was terrible–in the exactest sense–in its evocation of […]

Never thought I'd have a skeith again, until they first released the transparent color for the first time, starting with skeiths. I loved the color instantly but was still hesitant on making a skeith. Eventually I was browsing the PC and saw one UFA. The name stood out to me so I decided to post, and ended up adopting Oi. The person who adopted him out to me told me he zapped transparent the day after the color was activated, making him one of the first transparent skeiths, and one of the first transparent PETS, in Neopia! To me, as a huge transparent lover, that is pretty exciting.
Never UFT/UFA!

OSHA News Release - Table of Contents
National News Release 10-613-NAT

E-mail: email@example.com email@example.com
US Department of Labor's OSHA holds series of stakeholder meetings on worker Injury and Illness Prevention Programs
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration will use comments from a series of stakeholder meetings to help develop a proposed rule for Injury and Illness Prevention Programs.
The rule will require employers to develop and implement a program that minimizes worker exposure to safety and health hazards. Instead of waiting for an OSHA inspection or a workplace incident to address workplace hazards, employers would be required to create a plan for identifying and correcting hazards, and then implement the plan. Workers would also participate in the development and implementation of such plans.
"We are asking employers to 'find and fix' the hazards in their workplaces," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Dr. David Michaels. "This common sense rule will help make the secretary of labor's vision of 'Good Jobs for Everyone' a reality."
More information on Injury and Illness Prevention Programs is available in today's Federal Register notice at http://s.dol.gov/35.
The meetings will be held June 3 in East Brunswick, N.J., June 10 in Dallas, Texas, and June 29 in Washington, D.C. All meetings will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. local time.
Those interested in participating in the meetings should submit a notice of intent to participate at https://www2.ergweb.com/projects/conferences/osha/register-osha-I2P2.htm. Submissions also can be mailed to Eastern Research Group Inc., 110 Hartwell Ave., Lexington, MA 02421; Attention: OSHA Injury and Illness Prevention Programs Stakeholder Meeting Registration. Or fax submissions to 781-674-2906 labeled "Attention: OSHA Injury and Illness Prevention Programs Stakeholder Meeting Registration."
Submission deadlines for confirmed registration are May 20 for the June 3 meeting, May 27 for the June 10 meeting and June 15 for the June 29 meeting. After these deadlines, registration will remain open until the meetings are full.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance. For more information, visit http://www.osha.gov.
U.S. Department of Labor releases are accessible on the Internet at http://www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format (large print, Braille, audiotape or disc) from the COAST office upon request. Please specify which news release when placing your request at 202-693-7828 or TTY 202-693-7755. The Labor Department is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

^what he said
copper wire is good. more specifically OFC (oxygen free copper).
go to groundpounderzinc.com . it's a smallish site, but the guys on there are bassheads and will be more than glad to help.
any way you'd take 35$ for the 32GB SSD?
I feel the same way. I wanted that one until I read a review about them not being built the best. And I agree about the interest in a capacitive screen. Much easier use.
i read somewhere that the mini touch 700 isn't very good.
pm'd you. i want that SSD.
if your really that desperate for a solution. i would consider wiring up a solution your self.
i dont know a lot about the XPe systems, but they would probably be better. the boot times on the Raspberry pi are rather slow and impractical for an automotive aplication.
Home theate systems are discern cause the bass produced by them is minimal compared to what people have on there cars
you are completely right. if your running a ....mild system,then yo might be ok, but if you are running real bass, then i would say not, cause even some of the best built boxes still flex and vibrate...
Is this the full screen or just the capacitive overlay?
just 1 please.
then i'll take it.
so your saying i can get the Morex 5677 case for a total of $15?
ok. cool. thanks.
what on/off configuration did you use on your M4-ATX?

Items appraised include a collection of original blueprints the USS Maine; a wooden airplane propeller from a 1944 Fahlin airplane; and a vintage Gillette travel razor kit, circa 1910, owned by the Shah of Iran, brought in by a man who acquired it from a friend of his father's who lived in Iran in the 1950s. In a crossover with other History programs set at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, the Harrisons prepare to give Chumlee the Harley-Davidson FXR for his 30th birthday, but not before leading him to believe that they forgot his birthday, and giving him mundane chores. Danny Koker of Counting Cars has a cameo.
Continuing the Sturgis crossover from the previous episode, Corey, Chumlee and Danny Koker ride to the event, while Rick drives there in his motorhome. Items that catch Rick's attention at Ugly Trailer Antiques in Hurricane, Utah include a 110-year-old player piano and a samurai helmet from the late Edo period that Rick informs the owner is worth more than the owner thinks. After arriving at Sturgis, Rick finds a 1966 Honda CB160 motorcycle at Gypsie Vintage Cycle. Rick Dale of American Restoration and Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz of American Pickers have cameos.
Items appraised include a Babe Ruth baseball card from his time as a pitcher for the Red Sox, the first ever to feature him in a Major League uniform), found in the back yard shed of the seller; a Model 1805 artillery officer's sword made in France from 1805-1815, whose seller thinks was used in the War of 1812, which his grandfather found when cleaning out a building in Pittsburgh; a Pancho Villa marionette brought in during the night shift by a seller who has owned it for 44 years; one of the first polyphonic PS3 keyboards with rhythmic accompaniment, used by the band Three Dog Night when recording the single "It's a Jungle Out There", which includes by a letter signed by Danny Hutton; and two Victorian-era stained glass windows.
Items appraised include an 1884 .45 Colt single action Army revolver that belonged to Old West Sheriff Fred Coates during the Wyoming Range Wars, accompanied by the original letter of authenticity from Colt and a copy of the book Banditti of the Plains, acquired by the seller's father from Coates' great, great granddaughter, Eleanor Coates; a watchman's clock, found at an antique market in the seller's home town of Mexico City, which Rick thinks is from the 1940s or 1950s; a bullet-ridden flag cut from a burning World War I fighter plane by the seller's grandfather, accompanied by a dog tag featuring the name of the seller's father, George Pyne, on the front, and that of Quentin Roosevelt on the back; and a pair of 18th century platinum flip glasses accentuated with onyx diamonds and sapphires. Also, Corey, who wishes to be a partner in the shop, chafes against the elder Harrisons' complaints about his practice of aiding employee cheating on time cards.
Items appraised include four antique pistols from the 1800s; a ring that was allegedly owned by a Catholic cardinal; and John Wayne's yearbook.
Items appraised include a 1949 Hudson Commodore; an ancient fire starter; and a fossilized mastodon tusk. Also, Chumlee is challenged to make a fire using only primitive tools, with the reward being a paid day off if he succeeds.
Items appraised include a pig-shaped barbecue grill with a motorized rotisserie from the 1950s or 60s; an authentic English Grenadier Guard's uniform from the reign of George VI (1936-1952) that was purchased by the seller, a costume shop owner, when he bought out another costume shop 30 years earlier; a rare, 1970s transparent bowling ball that houses a rose within it, only 100 of which were produced, much like the one used by Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray) in the 1996 feature film comedy Kingpin, which was purchased in an antique shop; and a guitar whose body is made from a tortoise shell that Rick needs to date to determine if he can legally purchase it.
In an attempt to prove he should get an ownership stake in the Gold & Silver, Corey buys a sword without getting a second opinion. Rick and the Old Man think he got ripped off, but Corey s convinced he got a deal. They call in a local expert to determine who s right. And a one of a kind item from the beaches of D-Day creates a lot of noise in the shop.
Items appraised include a pair of velvet brocade slippers, silk stockings and cap said to have been owned by Pope Leo XIII; a Smith & Wesson Model 2 revolver (also known as an Old Model Army); the driver's license belonging to Slash of Guns N' Roses; and a trio of vintage Ava woodcutting saws from 1947-1950. Also, Rick is concerned over the amount of coffee his father drinks, and secretly switches him to decaf.
Items appraised include a 1956 Chevrolet Quarter Mile racecar; a collection of ten different barbed wire designs; a 1941 U.S. Navy sextant from the U.S.S. Hector; and an antique Thurston sawing in half box. Also, Corey explores job offers from the shop's competition, feeling that his desire to be made part owner in the Gold & Silver hasn't been taken seriously, and informs the elder Harrisons that he will quit if he isn't given 10% ownership of the business.
Items appraised include a red, 1950s Vend 81 Pepsi machine that requires restoration; a set of 93 European miniature golf balls; a pair of original, signed prints of two Playboy cartoons from October and December 1955 that were found in the middle of some magazines purchased at a garage sale; and a large copy of John Milton's Paradise Lost featuring illustrations by Gustave Doré. Also, the men engage in a miniature golf competition, with the loser required to wash the others' cars.
Items appraised include a bronze statue of the Rampant Colt, the symbol of Colt Firearms, #29 of a limited edition of 100; a World War II Japanese Tuckydanto Type 89 knee mortar; a signed copy of Wayne Gretzky's last New York Rangers contract; and a collection of six Japanese throwing stars that were purchased at a yard sale. Also, Rick and Corey make a bet to see who can buy an item with the greater profit margin. Observing that Corey has become irritable as he awaits for an answer from the elder Harrisons to his demand for a partnership, the Old Man tells Rick that they must give Corey an answer.
Things get surreal for the Pawn Stars when the guys check out an original painting by Salvador Dali. Known for his eccentric artwork, is this just too strange for the shop? Then, Chumlee is on the hunt for deals when he checks out a Silent Scope sniper arcade game. And later, Rick and the Old Man check out a French suit of armor. Dating back to the time of Napoleon, will the deal sparkle in the setting sun or rust away before their visored eyes?

Then, Rick gets a geography test when he's offered a 1700s map depicting California as an island. Can he plot a course towards a sale, or will this piece just get him lost? And later, Corey's longtime demand to be made a partner in the shop comes to a head when he says "now or never."
Do time with the Pawn Stars when a Christmas dinner menu from Alcatraz Prison from 1912 comes into the shop. Will Rick sentence this piece to life in the pawn shop, or let it escape? Then, Rick and the Old Man check out a bomber jacket worn by a member of the famous WWII fighter squadron, The Hell Hawks. Can the guys make an offer, or is the asking price sky high? And later, Chumlee is put in charge of the annual Christmas party. Can Christmas be saved?
Gather round the tree with the Pawn Stars as the guys get ready for their annual Christmas Party. With Chumlee in charge of the planning, can he keep it under budget and earn his Christmas bonus? Then, Rick and Corey check out a collection of military promotion documents signed by six different U.S. Presidents. And later, Corey is offered an Italian movie poster for "Bullitt" starring Steve McQueen. Knowing Rick s love of everything McQueen, will Corey race at the chance to buy the poster?
Huddle up with the Pawn Stars when they eye a football signed by the 1967 Chicago Bears. The final season for famed coach George Halas, can the guys break down the seller's defense for the win? Then, Rick and the Old Man duel for a 1925 Gibson banjo. Will they get this piece for a song, or will negotiations hit a sour note? And later, some props from the movie "Child's Play" inspire Chumlee to make a movie. Is he bound for Hollywood stardom, or will Rick pull the plug on the project?
Set your sights on the Pawn Stars, as they check out a Sharps buffalo rifle from the 1870s. Renowned for its accuracy, can the guys separate this antique weapon from the herd? Then, Rick is offered an aphorism signed by one of America's greatest writers, Mark Twain. Will Rick be clever enough to make a deal, or get outwitted? And later, the guys try to avoid a sour deal when some Victorian-era pickle castors drop by. Will Rick make an offer, or is something not quite Kosher?
Hit the streets with the Pawn Stars as the guys check out an original work by street artist Banksy. A phony English 5 note featuring the face of Princess Diana, is it art, or glorified monopoly money? Then, a guy brings in a saddle used by John Wayne in a movie. Will Rick and Corey duke it out over this rare collectable, or send the seller riding off into the sunset? And later, Chumlee wants to "update" the shop by adding a huge graffiti artwork. Will his vision ever see the light of day?
The Pawn Stars get a fast break when the ex-wife of NBA star Dennis Rodman drops by. Trying to sell a collection of Rodman's signed jerseys, will the guys jump at the chance to own a piece of sports history? Then, Rick and Chumlee prepare to flee when they're presented with a jury questionnaire from the O.J. Simpson trial. Do they vote unanimously to buy, or is the jury still out? And later, a BMC pedal tractor from the 1950s plows into the shop.
Keep it surreal with the Pawn Stars when Chumlee and Olivia are offered a sculpture by Salvador Dali. Without any proof of authenticity, will they take a night shift risk? Then, the guys are spinning over an atlas from 1862. Showing the world as it stood during the Civil War, can they map out a deal? And later a 1930's pinball machine rolls into the shop. Will Chumlee's expertise on pinball machines help the Old Man score a good price, or will it just put him on tilt?
Float on air with the Pawn Stars when the guys check out a hovercraft. Originally designed for the 2000 Olympic ceremonies, will it have them walking on water or drowning in sorrow? Then, Rick and Corey are offered a trading card containing a strand of George Washington s hair. Will they try to cut a deal? And later, the guys decide it s time for Chumlee to lose weight. Can a trip to the nutritionist change his unhealthy ways?
Fly high and aim low with the Pawn Stars as they check out a Japanese machine gun camera. Used to train fighter pilots during WWII, will the guys have the skills to keep this deal on target? Then, Chumlee and Corey take a look at some sketches drawn by Spider-Man creator Stan Lee. Known as a writer, but never an artist, are they legit, or a web of lies? And later, Rick and the Old Man eye a $1,000 Federal Reserve note from 1918. Will they fork over a stack of hundreds, or is this G note past its prime?
Court is in session for the Pawn Stars when the guys check out a collection of sketches from the 1954 Sam Sheppard trial. The man who inspired "The Fugitive," is Rick willing to deliver a verdict on these rare drawings? Then, a baseball signed by the entire 1962 American League All Star team slides into the shop. With signatures from Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle, do the guys play hardball, or strike out looking? And later, when Chumlee calls in sick, the guys are on the case to see if he's faking it. Will his story check out?
Press play with the Pawn Stars as Chumlee checks out a gold video game cartridge from the 1990 Nintendo World Championships. Considered the "holy grail" of video game collectibles, will Chumlee drop enough coins to win it for the shop? Then, Rick and the Old Man eye a set of keys to Al Capone's jail cell. From Capone's stretch at Cook County Jail, can the guys nab this artifact, or will it evade capture? And later, the guys discover that the Old Man is a bit of a hoarder, but it's what he's hoarding that raises eyebrows.
Get your kicks with the Pawn Stars as Rick and Chumlee check out a massive collection of Nike shoes. With an asking price of $1 million, is this deal a slam dunk or an air ball? Then, an Arnold & Son longitude watch finds its way into the shop. Used for navigation on ships since the 1700's, will Rick offer a boatload for this rare timepiece? And later, Corey and Chumlee eye a vintage handcuff collection. Featuring some of the most painful, and illegal, restraint devices ever made, do the guys try to lock this deal up, or does something rub them the wrong way.
Lock and load with the Pawn Stars as Corey and Chumlee check out an 1838 Colt Paterson. Formerly owned by a Civil War colonel, will the guys take a shot at this rare firearm? Then, a letter written by Franklin D. Roosevelt gets hand-delivered to the shop. Written shortly after FDR's bout with polio, can Rick endure a tough negotiation for this piece of presidential history? And later, when Rick's lunch keeps disappearing, he's on a mission to find the culprit. Will evidence point to the usual suspect?
Put the pedal to the metal with the Pawn Stars as the guys check out a completely customized 1932 Ford Roaster. With less than 500 miles on it, will a high asking price put a red light on negotiations? Then, Corey and Chum lee face off against a guy trying to sell a Marilyn Manson Clayton doll. Used in the making of "Celebrity Death match," will they make an offer or is this deal DOA? And later, Rick eyes a diploma from the 1912 Olympics. Awarded for a 2nd place finish in swimming, can Rick turn it into pawn shop gold?
Put up your dukes with the Pawn Stars as the guys check out a postcard signed by legendary boxer Jack Johnson. The first African American to become heavyweight champ, will the card knock Rick out? Then, Corey and Chum set their negotiating skills on stun when some props from the original Star Trek series beam into the shop. Will the price go where no deal has gone before? And later, when Chum decides he needs his own desk, can he convince the guys he's worthy?
Empty your pockets with the Pawn Stars when the guys eye a 2,000 year old Shekel of Tyre. The same type of coin given to Judas to betray Christ, will they make a deal of biblical proportions? Then, Rick and the Old Man are up in arms over a pair of engraved Colt pistols from the 1860s. Worth a small fortune if they're factory engraved, can they connect them back to the Colt Armory? And later, when one of Rick's purchases turns out to be stolen, will the guys ever let him forget it?
Read up on the Pawn Stars when one of the first books ever printed comes in the shop. An incunable from the 15th century, will the guys judge this worm-eaten work by its cover? Then, Corey and the Old Man hear the sweet sound of music when a sitar strums by the shop. An Indian instrument popularized by the Beatles, can it score a big hit? And later, the guys jump through flaming hoops for an ID card belonging to the late stuntman Evel Kneivel. Will the deal hit the mark or crash and burn?
The Pawn Stars prepare for battle when a guy brings in a Smith carbine from the Civil War. A problematic weapon known for blowing up in battle, can they keep this rare gun in their sights? Then, a campaign poster and convention hat from JFK's 1960 Presidential campaign drops by the shop. Will Rick vote to keep it, or will it not poll well? And later, the guys are horrified that Corey has never seen the movie "Star Wars," and force him to watch it on company time. Will he enjoy his trip to a galaxy far far away?
Ask not what your Pawn Stars can do for you, when the guys get a chance to own JFK's personal cigar box. A piece that sat in the Oval Office, will the guys light up at the opportunity or will negotiations go up in flames? Then, a guy pops in with one of the most powerful handguns ever made, a Colt Walker. A model used by the Texas Rangers, can Rick get the seller to surrender this rare gun? And later, an Olympic gold medal makes it's way into the shop. From the 1988 games in Seoul, will Corey stretch out for the win?
Get by with a little help from the Pawn Stars when alternative artwork for "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" rocks into the shop. One of the Beatles' most iconic albums, will the guys twist and shout for this piece of music history? Then, Rick eyes a pair of lithographs by Joan Mir and Marc Chagall. Both leaders of the Surrealist movement, can he dream up a deal? And later, the guys get a little starstruck when actor Steve Carell wanders into the shop. Will it be just another day at the office?

Texas A&M University EMS is a campus-based emergency medical service that responds to medical and traumatic emergencies on the Texas A&M campus and surrounding community as needed. University EMS offers its services to all students, faculty, and patrons on the Texas A&M campus and the community.
When contacting emergency services using a cell phone dial 911 as normal. If you are using a land line on campus you must dial 9-911, the first 9 is to get an outside line. If off campus dial 911, or as instructed by your buildings managment if applicable.
1. Know where you are. We can't help unless you tell us where to go.
2. Stay on the line. The dispatcher will ask you for more than just where you are. They need to ask several questions to make sure the right resources respond.
3. Answer the questions as they are asked. Don't start giving information the dispatcher hasn't asked for yet, it makes the process take longer.
4. If you can, call from where the patient is. Going to an office to call instead of using your cell phone doesn't make it better unless you don't have cell coverage.
5. Stay calm. If the dispatcher can't understand you because you're talking too fast, help could be delayed.

Why so Sirius?
Agree with previous poster, can really feel the intensity... I think he already found his prey though. Yikes!
you can really feel the intensity, it's as if you can sense his prey holding their breath and silently praying he won't find them.
