Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11
It is always a pleasure to support our gifted youth who are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and don't mind giving Him praise and glory! I had an opportunity to interview seventeen-year old Ryan Jackson, a Baltimore native with a powerful voice and a very bright future ahead in the gospel music industry. Not to mention the fact that this young man is totally sold out for Christ and in his own words has a desire to "restore the heart of worship to young people." We are so blessed to have caught up with the young artist right before the release celebration of his debut single "In Your Presence." The celebration will take place on Saturday, August 28, 2012 at the Kingdom Worship Center (The Synergy Center) located at 6419 York Road, 21212. It begins at 7pm and we want to invite YOU, our Baltimore Examiner readers to come out and support the young artist. The celebration concert will also include a few guest musicians, vocalists and a few additional added surprises. The event will be hosted by Nate Chase, youth Pastor at Life Center Church. Please enjoy the interview with Ryan Jackson below:
JT: How long have you been singing?
RJ: A little over 5 years.
JT: So you must be pretty excited about April 28th please share with my readers a little about what's going on.
RJ: We are celebrating the release of the debut single "In Your Presence" with a concert that will feature several musical guests including Jemila Richardson, Jarmel Evans and Worship Forever, Sam Roberts and Ministry along with some additional music produced by both James "Drummaboy" Harris and Steve McCoy. The 28th is the official release date of "In Your Presence" and will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and others. Copies of the single will be available at the event as well.
JT: Who are some of your musical influences?
RJ: LeCrae, Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary and Deitrick Hadden
JT: Baltimore has some exceptionally gifted artists. Who are some Baltimore natives that you love and support?
RJ: My Pastor, Jason Nelson, Brittany Wright, Jarmel Evans (Worship Forever) to name a few.
JT: Most artists I know are on the fence about being compared to other artists but some actually take it as a compliment. So who do people compare you to musically Ryan?
RJ: I've heard Mali Music and J.Moss.
JT: Well I think you definitely have a unique style and voice of your own. You also write your own music, that's incredible! Please share with my readers what inspired "In God's Presence."
RJ: The only way to spend time [with God] is in prayer and in worship. In God's presence He shows Himself and reveals Himself. If you need healing, fullness of joy, or whatever your need, you can find it in his presence.
JT: Wow, some powerful words coming from someone so young. I know that your family must be proud. What are your aspirations for the future?
RJ: Owning my own label, putting out good quality music and just remaining humble in this industry.
JT: Thank you Ryan and congratulations on the new release. I hope to see you at the celebration on the 28th.
Well there is no doubt that Ryan Jackson will succeed in all that he aspires to do as long as God remains in the center. We congratulate Ryan on the release of his single and with our prayers as well as our purchases we support you and continue to encourage this young man of God to reach for his dreams.

Sophomore Carrie Vuong kick started the relay with a split of 56.9, while senior Eileen Moran and freshman Cecilia Barowski both ran 53.9 in the middle legs. Senior Joie Hand followed up with a 56.1 in the last leg.
The Tigers were fifth in the Distance Medley Relay Championship of America. Sophomore Molly Higgins, senior Danielle Glaeser, sophomore Kacie O'Neil and Feldman ran 11:13.40.

Add to the list of recommended non-English language tranny videos with incomprehensible plots but decent sex.
The title may mean something to those who can understand the dubbed Italian dialogue - or can read the lips of the performers as they speak whatever language they were originally speaking. The rest of us are left in the proverbial dark.
There's no question there's a plot here somewhere (just where remains a mystery) since the performers talk constantly when they're not using their mouths for more X-rated activities. It involves a man and a skinny tranny wearing pigtails and eating breakfast at an estate of some sort and then having sex next to their table. A man and a woman have a drink outside and then have sex in a stone building's window space.
Later he chats with a tranny on a couch by a fireplace and then fucks her while the woman he just banged peeks in a window. Said woman then storms into a bedroom where a man lounges in bed with two trannies. He encourages her to join them, which she does.

Flames Drop Exhibition Finale Against Northern Illinois, 2-0
Aug 24, 2013
CHICAGO - The UIC men's soccer team wrapped up its 2013 preseason with a record of 1-1 as the squad dropped their exhibition finale against Northern Illinois by a score of 2-0 on Saturday night at Flames Field. After a scoreless first period, the Huskies netted two goals in the second stanza to claim the triumph. Both teams each recorded 14 total shots in the contest.
"We created several chances tonight and continued to gain valuable experience," said head coach Sean Phillips. "Our heavy legs from hard practices combined with our win over Wisconsin on Monday was a bit too much tonight. Our guys showed some incredible toughness, but now we will focus our energy on the start of the regular season."
NIU's Issac Kannah tallied the game's first goal with an unassisted boot at the 61:48 mark. Teammate Bertrand Gaschot tacked on the final score with less than three minutes on the clock as the assist came from James Stevenson.
The Flames won their first exhibition matchup this past Monday night at home against Big Ten-foe Wisconsin, 2-1.
UIC will make its regular season debut on Friday, Aug. 30 against Eastern Illinois at Flames Field with start time scheduled for 7 p.m. The squad will then host UC-Santa Barbara on Sunday, Sept. 1, at 1 p.m. in part of a four-game homestand to commence the 2013 campaign.

Bobby Brown has always claimed to be the King of Stage after the title of his 1986 debut solo CD, and now he's added another royal nickname, "King of the Kitchen." As he tours this summer with New Edition, he's also launching Bobby Brown Foods with a line of barbecue sauces, seasonings, and kitchen utensils.
"I have been a chef since I was ten years old," Brown proudly boasts. "I was always home from school on punishment, so I watched my mother closely in the kitchen. When I was alone I cooked for myself. Now I feed my family and my friends."
Bobby's sauces include "Bobby's Original BBQ" and "Bobby's Sweet & Spicy." He's also creating two different seasonings, "Bobby's Boston Blend" and "Bobby's Everyday Blend" (which is low on salt).
"I also have the Brown Bag'n It Fry Mix. Just coat your chicken, fish or beef and its ready for the oven."
Brown says he was inspired to launch his food company based on reactions of friends when they ate at his home.
"At a barbeque, I stay on the grill. My specialty is 'Shrimp a la Bobby.' When I would serve people at my house, they would ask what was the seasoning and the sauces, and where could they buy them, so I decided to put them on the market."
Now he's busy on the road with New Edition, but he's anxious to add to his product line.
"Anytime I get to a kitchen," he says, "I create a new sauce. I am the king of the kitchen. I want to be the new Paul Newman."
Bobby Brown Foods are available on his website, and later this summer they will be sold in stores.
The youngest member of New Edition is extremely grateful to his mother for teaching him how to cook, and he also thanks her for inspiring his music career.
"She introduced me to music," he remembers growing up in the Roxbury section of Boston. "She always played music during her late night card games, and I always ended up dancing for her and her friends."
New Edition launched their recording career in 1983 when Brown was 14 years old, and now they're back together again and earning rave reviews for their performances three decades later.
"When people leave our concert, we want them to remember the 31 years," Brown says. "We want to give them the same energy we gave them 31 years ago. We strive for perfection, and like The Temptations, we want longevity."
New Edition shows feature songs from the members' solo careers and spinoff groups as you hear the music of Bell Biv DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, and Johnny Gill as well as Men of State (Brown, Tresvant and Gill).
They've enjoyed tremendous success, and also experienced failure, as seen on their disastrous Home Again reunion tour in 1997. Brown suffered the most, beginning with being kicked out of the group in 1986. He rebounded with his multi-platinum Don't Be Cruel and Bobby solo albums, however his career spiraled out of control due to drug addiction and alcoholism and a series of arrests and legal issues surrounding child support.
His well publicized marriage to Whitney Houston 1992 ended in divorce in 2007. Now Brown is married to Alicia Etheridge and they have a five-year old son Cassius who appears on stage with his father. Brown says after many difficult years, "I am happy. You can see it in the smile on my face. It's a beautiful thing."
So as New Edition continues its triumphant comeback tour, Brown is planning to write a cookbook and his biography which he says is something "I have to get it out of me."
His life will also be featured in the Whitney Houston movie Angela Bassett is directing for Lifetime Television. Bassett starred with Houston in the 1995 movie Waiting To Exhale.
"My reaction to the movie is, just tell the truth," Brown states. "But I wish someone had called me. To me, there is nothing to expose. Whitney was a beautiful, young woman. Her life should be celebrated."

MRSA Infections Come to the Doctor's Office
This is what MRSA looks like at the doctor's office:
A construction worker's swollen red knee turns out to need surgical drainage and IV and oral antibiotics.
A diabetic nicks his chin shaving, and an infection spreads through his chin and into his mouth.
A baby girl with eczema has scars on her legs from infections that have caused boils to form and pop. Now her mom bathes her legs in a solution of bleach.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is a tough-to-treat infection that in recent years has migrated out of the hospital and into the community. The cases above come from the country practice of WSJ.com columnist Ben Brewer, who writes this week about his experience treating the infection.
He also mentions a few simple ways to reduce the risk of transmitting the infection. Frequent hand washing, wiping down surfaces, covering cuts and keeping personal care items to yourself all help. Prevention is better than treatment because so many antibiotics have lost their punch.
Meanwhile, some big-picture efforts may help reduce the problem on a population level. California recently passed a law to require hospitals to screen high-risk patients for MRSA, and the FDA approved the first rapid test to detect the infection.
Talk Infection: Visit Brewer's forum to discuss your experiences with hard-to-treat infections.

Ocón Carreras, Antonio
[EN] The current context of the new economy of knowledge is characterized by the emergence of new produced models based on intangible capitals as an integral part of organizational chain value and main source of sustainable competitive advantage. Knowledge is no longer used as a medium to become an active key for enabling organizations to gain a competitive advantage and to improve their profitability. However, knowledge management and exploration of its potential is not easy. Its intangible and complex aspect makes its management more difficult. For the present work, we attempt to solve this problem by proposing a methodology of evaluation of the Corporate Knowledge Management (Top-Down) from the perspective of SURICATA1 Model. Our work identifies three main components that affect the implementation and deploy strategies based on knowledge management, and develop a methodology based on indicators and metrics for evaluation. The three components of our methodology are: Evaluation of Organizational Culture, Social Capital Evaluation and Evaluation of Organizational Processes. To achieve that, we used the operational audit, audit information, the methodology pKM2 SURICATA and explored the potential of social network analysis to evaluate the elements of knowledge management.

As an Australian, one of my favorite bits of the Super Bowl is the movie spots for the up and coming blockbusters. While I really wanted a Man of Steel clip, Iron Man 3 will do.
And what a clip it is! The 20-second or so clip shows off an incredible new scene (spoilers if you keep reading) of Iron Man diving out of a plane and having to save 13 people from falling to the ground. Goosebumps!

C185 Sustainable Forest Management
- Course Code:
- Unit value:
Forests are important sources of products and environmental services, and yet are disappearing or threatened in most tropical and many temperate regions. Well managed forests with appropriate conservation measures can deliver society's needs in a sustainable way. Understanding how and why is central to this module. Beginning with an introduction to key concepts, issues and protocols and an overview of the global forest estate, the module builds an understanding of sustainable forest management from its foundation in ecological principles, markets for forest products and environmental services and local to global forest and environmental policies. A solid knowledge of the principles and practice of forest management planning, implementation and monitoring is developed and related to the requirements of sustainable forest management certification.
Objectives and learning outcomes of the course
- Provide a broad appreciation of the extent and character of the global forest estate, as well as drivers of, and responses to, changes in forest cover.
- Explain how forests function and interact with wider ecosystem processes to provide environmental services.
- Illuminate the different ways in which people and societies relate to and utilise forest resources: livelihoods, lifestyles, and legal and policy frameworks.
- Explain the concept of 'silvicultural system' and provide examples of their practical application in semi-natural and plantation forests.
- Examine the process of forest management planning, implementation and monitoring.
- Provide an introduction to sustainable forest management certification protocols and examine the principles and criteria of Forest Stewardship Council certification and the certification process.
- Consider carbon offsetting and 'payment for ecosystem services' models as mechanisms for funding biodiversity conservation and alleviating poverty in forest-dependent communities.
- Discuss and analyse the history of international forest policy and consider future development trajectories.

The West
Politics in The West
"Mr. Crocker, Tear Down That Wall"
On 29 October 1877, more than a thousand San Franciscans gathered in front of the home of millionaire Charles Crocker. Crocker, Leland Stanford, and Mark Hopkins, three of the "Big Four," had all built mansions on Nob Hill. From there, these railroad tycoons could look out over the city – and the state – that they dominated. But this crowd of laborers and craftsmen had not come to celebrate these wealthy industrialists. They were there to demand that Crocker tear down the "spite fence" he had built around the home of one of his neighbors.
Crocker had planned on owning the entire block, but Nicholas Yung (Jung) refused to sell Crocker his home. Therefore, Crocker built a forty-foot wall along three sides of Yung's lot, forcing the local undertaker to live literally in the shadow of his powerful neighbor. Denis Kearney, the leader of the angry workers, pointed to the fence as a symbol of the malignant power exercised by a handful of men in the state. Railroad owners, land speculators, and corrupt politicians were principally to blame, but Kearney typically closed his speeches by denouncing the Chinese immigrants that filled the payrolls of these capitalist giants, drove down wages and took jobs from native workers. The fence must come down, Kearney declared, and "the Chinese must go."
City officials acted quickly to control this crowd and silence Kearney. They passed an ordinance prohibiting anyone from using such provocative language in front of crowds of more than 25 people. These officials remembered that just two months earlier a similar gathering had turned into a riot during which Chinese homes and laundries had been destroyed, and they realized that attacks on the Chinese could quickly turn into attacks on their own homes and businesses.
But Kearney and his followers fooled these local leaders. They did not riot on 29 October, nor did they in the weeks that followed. Instead, they built a political party that challenged the political establishment and forced changes to the state constitution.
Assessing California's Economic Problems
To a certain extent, when California's small farmers and common laborers lashed out at Chinese immigrants and wealthy industrialists, they accurately assessed the sources of their economic problems. Chinese immigrants did pour into the state during the 1870s, and the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 meant that this large labor force now competed with native workers in the state's fields, mines and workshops. Moreover, the federal government seemed wholly indifferent to the threat these immigrants posed to native workers. In 1868, the United States and China signed the Burlingame Treaty, which allowed unrestricted entry – but no rights of naturalization – to Chinese immigrants. Twenty-two thousand Chinese entered San Francisco in 1876 alone.32
Native workers were also correct in concluding that large industrialists and landowners opposed them in trying to reduce immigration. They correctly realized that big business interests benefitted from an expanded labor pool. Workers were also correct in recognizing that the largest of these industrial giants – the Big Four – exercised an inordinate amount of economic power in the state. These railroad tycoons controlled not just the interstate railroads; they also established monopolies on the docks and rivers within the state. The Oakland and San Francisco waterfronts, the rail lines to southern California and Oregon, and steam traffic on the inland rivers were all controlled by this transportation superpower. Moreover, the railroads were the largest single landowner in the state. The Southern Pacific received close to 12 million acres in California from the federal government – about 20% of all privately owned land in the state.33 The majority of these lands, then, were sold to large ranchers, like Henry Miller and Charles Lux, and large real estate speculators, like James Ben Ali Haggin, rather than to small farmers.
Yet, while California's workers had plenty of real and legitimate grievances with industrialists like Crocker and Stanford, and the federal and state governments that seemed to serve them, many of the state's economic problems were tied to more complex developments.
Most everyone in the state from Charles Crocker to Denis Kearney expected that the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 would unleash an economic boom. But instead, hard times followed the driving of the golden spike in Utah. Well-backed eastern merchants now rushed to the west coast to take advantage of new commercial possibilities, driving out smaller local merchants and businesses in the process. Land prices also quickly rose in anticipation of the commercial boom, further reducing the opportunities for the state's small farmers. There was good news from the Comstock – the Nevada silver mines were hitting rich veins deep in the mountains – but this drew capital away from other investment channels that might have been more beneficial to the long term economic development of the state. What's more, in 1873, California's local problems were exacerbated by a national depression.
In other words, Kearney and workers that supported him were caught up in a series of economic changes that no one anticipated or could really control. But there was enough accuracy in their assessment emphasizing Chinese immigrants and industrialist monopolies to make it stick. Moreover, since it provided a clear target for their frustration and a set of tangible political objectives, this somewhat narrow assessment served to tie these struggling workers together into a cohesive political movement.
California's Political Revolution: The Workingmen's Party and the Constitution of 1879
For years there had been wide-ranging criticism of the original state constitution. Drawn hastily by an unrepresentative small body in 1849, early attempts to amend or replace the document had failed. But a decade of economic trouble convinced a majority of the state's voters that political reform might be a step toward economic recovery. The convention, called to convene in September 1878, gave California's disgruntled working class the opportunity for which they were ready. Led by Denis Kearney, the new Workingmen's Party entered a full slate of candidates in the June elections for seats in the convention. The Democrats and Republicans were so intimidated by the size of the new party that they united in opposition. It's lucky for them that they did. Combined, and calling themselves "Non-partisan," they won 78 seats at the convention, while the Workingmen's Party secured 51 seats.
The Workingmen platform called for a variety of reforms aimed at the coalition of forces they believed worked against them in the state. They called for the regulation of the railroads and elimination of discriminatory rates. They demanded that corporations and banks be made more accountable. They proposed modifications in the state tax structure that would shift the burden from land-owning farmers to industries and corporations like the railroads. They also called for restrictions on Chinese immigration. Furthermore, even though the Party did not hold a majority of the seats at the convention, they did muster enough support to place diluted versions of most of these planks in the new constitution. For example, the new constitution did establish a three-member railroad commission to regulate rates. It also contained a clause authorizing the legislature to protect the state from aliens and forbidding corporations and the state to hire Chinese workers.
The Workingmen's Party followed up this success with striking victories in the 1879 state elections. The party elected the chief justice and five of six associate justices to the state supreme court as well as eleven senators and sixteen assemblymen. The party also elected the next mayor of San Francisco, Isaac Kalloch.
Political Revolution in the West
The political revolution engineered by California's workers and small farmers was echoed in the West more broadly just a decade later with the formation of the Populist or People's Party. And like the Workingmen's Party, the Populists drew from an assessment of political and economic conditions that, although somewhat narrow, served to tie farmers together within a dynamic and cohesive movement.
America's farmers experienced a dramatic shift in their fortunes over the second half of the nineteenth century. In the years after the Civil War, growing urban markets and increased exports to Europe inspired agricultural expansion into the Midwest. Between 1860 and 1900, farmers placed 430 million new acres under cultivation. To assist them in their work, new technologies and new fertilizers rapidly increased productivity. And America's expanding network of railroads enabled Midwestern farmers to transport their crops to eastern markets and ports.
But by 1880, farmers' once lucrative markets had weakened. Increased production in Europe and South America, and European tariffs that blocked American exports, left American farmers with increased competition and falling prices. In addition, farmers experienced the flip side of their new technology – increased productivity meant that market saturation could be achieved by fewer men. By 1900, one farmer could produce as much wheat as it had taken twenty to produce in 1860.
As domestic and foreign markets shrank, farmers' prospects dimmed, especially since many carried large debt burdens optimistically taken on during the preceding boom decades. But rather than go broke quietly, they took a lesson from the rapidly expanding industrial sector of the economy. They began to organize and experiment with the benefits of cooperation and size. The Grange (founded in 1867) and the Farmers' Alliance (founded in 1877) introduced marketing and equipment cooperatives, collectively owned mills, and even credit unions. But by 1890, farmers had decided that they needed to take their organizational efforts to the next level – so they formed their own political party. In July 1892, 1300 delegates gathered at Omaha, Nebraska to write a national platform and select a presidential nominee – The People's, or Populist, Party was born.
Breaking ties with the established parties was often a painful process in an era when party affiliation was a critical part of personal identity. But easing this separation was the particular character of the farmers' analysis of their circumstances. In sorting out the causes of their economic distress they tended to focus less on the structural changes within international markets than on the "conspiracy" of Eastern money interests that they believed was working against them – banks that charged exploitive interest rates, railroads that levied discriminatory rates, and commodities middlemen that reaped the greatest rewards from the farmers' back-breaking labor.
There was a great deal of validity to their assessment. Railroads, in particular, were guilty of charging discriminatory rates on western goods – a producer paid 95 cents per ton from Chicago eastward, but $3.20 per ton west of the Missouri river.34 But more importantly than the actual accuracy of their assessment, was the way that it functioned to tie farmers together as a victimized class. In blaming bankers, middlemen, and railroad tycoons – all agents of the new industrial economy – farmers were able to transform their economic concerns onto a crusade on behalf of America's agrarian past. In blaming a conspiracy of money men rather than the vicissitudes of global markets, farmers were able to build a coherent movement rather than just a political coalition, a crusade for justice rather than just another political party.
The Populist Platform
United and given direction by their analysis, the Populist Party advanced an ambitious agenda that called for unprecedented levels of government involvement in the economy. Arguing that the Interstate Commerce Commission, created in 1877 to regulate the railroads, had proven completely inadequate to this task, they proposed that the government assume ownership of the railroads, as well as the telegraph lines. Complaining that the current network of national and state banks charged excessively high interest rates on rural borrowers, they recommended the creation of "postal savings banks" controlled by locally elected officials.
To address what they perceived were inequities in local and state tax systems, the Populists argued that property taxes should be replaced by a graduated income tax. After all, they argued, in an industrial economy acreage was a poor indicator of wealth. And to redress the inequities in land ownership, they proposed that the land reclaimed through the nationalization of the railroads be made available to agrarian settlers.
The Populist Party also proposed an innovative government agency labeled the regional subtreasury. Since farmers were often victimized by falling prices, yet were unable to hold onto their crop until prices rose because they had debts to service, the Populist proposed that the federal government create a network of storage/credit institutions that would lend farmers a percentage of their crops' value while they waited for prices to rise.
And finally, the Populists suggested that the federal government should increase the amount of currency in circulation. By maintaining at least $50 of currency in circulation per person, crop prices would rise, and borrowers could more easily pay down their debts. In order to maintain this volume of money in the economy, Populists endorsed the free coinage of silver.
By the middle of the 1890s, the farmers had built a national political party with growing memberships throughout the South and Midwest. And unlike the other major parties of this period, they had advanced a creative and pragmatic solution for the farmers' problems. Unlike the other parties, they had managed to shake off many of the philosophical and historical inhibitions that had limited the national government for the previous thirty years. And, for better or for worse, they had forced the other parties to take notice.
The Western Political Movements Compared
There are striking similarities in these western political movements. Both recognized that extraordinary economic power wielded by large industries – railroads and banks, in particular – weakened their economic prospects. Both recognized that government – state and federal – needed to play a larger role in refereeing the economic playing field. Both ignored many of the structural changes and broader economic forces that combined to undercut their economic situations. And both benefitted from the narrowness of their assessment; by focusing blame on the tangible contributors to their economic woes, they were able to forge cohesive party identities and define concrete reform agendas.
There are also striking similarities in the fates of both parties. The Workingmen's Party faded away almost immediately after its successes of 1879. To a large extent, this was due to the economic recovery of the 1880s. Economic prosperity reduced political antagonisms and convinced many that the diluted measures achieved in 1879 had done as much as was necessary. In addition, the federal government capitulated to California's demand and suspended Chinese immigration. The ten-year exclusion act passed in 1882 was renewed in 1892 and made ongoing in 1902. Republican and Democratic policymakers in Washington decided, in other words, that the most effective way to combat this political threat was to absorb it.
Economic improvements also contributed to the rapid demise of the Populist Party. The discovery of gold in the Yukon dramatically increased the nation's gold supply and, consequently, the nation's money supply, as Populists had wanted. Furthermore, poor European harvests raised prices for American agricultural products abroad, yielding far better foreign and domestic prices for American foodstuffs.
In addition, the political party most threatened by the Populists decided that the best way to combat the threat was to absorb it. At its 1896 National Convention, the Democratic Party stole one of the Populists' central issues and the majority of the insurgent party's thunder. Nebraska Congressman William Jennings Bryan delivered a ringing call for the free coinage of silver. Declaring that "you shall not press down upon the brow of labor this cross of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold," Bryan brought convention delegates to their feet; a few days later he was named the party's nominee for the presidency.
The Populists were left in quandary. Many among the rank and file had earlier encouraged joining forces with the Democrats. These "fusionists" now urged their fellow-Populists to join the Democrats in nominating Bryan for the presidency. A second group, labeled "mid-roaders," argued that the Democrats would never embrace the breadth of the Populist agenda – after all, silver was just one plank of their platform. If they allowed themselves to be absorbed by the Democrats, the breadth of their agenda and the distinctive character of their movement would be lost. But the fusionists prevailed; the Party named Bryan their nominee while the mid-roaders succeeded only in placing one of their own, Tom Watson, on the ticket as the vice-presidential candidate.
It may have been the judicious course, but the Populist Party would never be the same. A lot of the crusade-like enthusiasm that had animated the rank-and-file was lost in the decision to accept the candidate of the old, established party. Then, when Bryan was defeated by Republican nominee William McKinley in the general election, many Populists lost confidence in political action altogether.
The political revolt from the West thus proved short-lived. Both the Workingmen's Party and the Populists disappeared within a decade of their emergence. Today, many analysts find the brevity of their existences disheartening. These dynamic movements, proposing significant far-reaching reforms, simply ran out of gas when economic conditions improved. Even worse, their more ambitious agendas were abandoned when the political establishment threw them a bone – for instance, Chinese exclusion and free silver.
A longer view, however, suggests that these movements had more enduring and significant impacts. By 1920, the federal government had assumed far greater responsibilities within the economy, banks and railroads were more aggressively regulated, and the tax system had been restructured.
Patience, in other words, brought the Workingmen's Party and the Populists much of what they wanted.
Patience also ultimately brought a resolution to the Crocker-Yung dispute. Crocker's spite fence, built in 1876, made life unlivable for the Yung Family on Nob Hill. Unwilling to give in, they jacked up their home and moved it to another location. But they still refused to sell Crocker the lot on Nob Hill. Even after Nicholas Yung died in 1880, his widow, Rosina, refused to surrender to the railroad giant. Charles Crocker died in 1888, no doubt still fuming over his inability to gain control over the rogue lot. But in 1902, Rosina died and the Yung's daughters, apparently lacking their parents' moxie, agreed to sell to Crocker's heirs. But if the Crockers celebrated, they did not celebrate for long; San Francisco's 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed the Crocker mansion. Perhaps seeing the hand of God, perhaps wishing to atone for his father's spiteful behavior, Charles's son, William, donated the Nob Hill estate to the Episcopal Church. Today Grace Cathedral graces the site of this old dispute.

The Polar Vortex and continuing record low temperatures and snowfall have made this winter a big old loser as far as winter scooting in Detroit goes. Us in Michigan are all forced to sit inside, watching the Weather Channel for the day when it will get above freezing enough for the small thaw to start. So we wait. And wait. And, just when a semi dry line has formed enough to allow a scoot out of the subdivision, it snows again. While we're busy not scooting, here are some scooting-themed things to stop (or slow) the onset of scooter-less cabin fever:
Get into the groove:
There is a wealth of scooter-related sounds at your fingertips, for free. Here are some cracking podcasts available for your mod-style listening:
Punks in Parkas: DJ Penny Lanes mix of scooter-style tunes. Mixes range from classic Mod hits to heavy Northern Soul to unexpected tunes that you might not think of first. She also splits some shows with guests and Warren Peace of the We are The Mods! podcast.
We Are The Mods!: DJ Warren Peace fills the hour with old-style and second-wave Mod hits, served alongside a heathy helping of sarcasm, bombastic wit and frequent exhortations to "get up and make your own style."
Modcast with Eddie Pillar and Friends: This one is more of a talk show, often filled with a list of who's who in the Mod community. They do take music breaks, but the real star of this show is the wit and musical tastes of hosts Eddie Pillar and Dean Rudland.
Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World: Despite one of the most un-radio, podcast voices, Mister Suave is the master of the music from power pop to second generation Ska, 60's kitsch and everything in between. Always entertaining.
If any of these are too mainstream for you (and if you speak French, or at like to listen to it), subscribe to Le Soul Club. They bring the latest of the Mod era to your ears, along with a healthy helping of Motown and Stax R&B classics. They also serve up some brand new artists - it's where I discovered The Travellers - absolutely fantastic - "Don't Look For Me"
All of the above are also available for free from the iTunes store.
Don't forget Mixcloud, where DJs from around the world put up some smoking sets for your mid-winter blues. Two recent favorites featuring Detroit and/or Northern Soul are:
DJ Hairy Nilsson - Straight from the Play Box
Kieran Lockyear - Straight from the Play Box
If singles are more your speed, follow Facebook user The Mod Regeneration for classic floor-fillers from the Mod-era and beyond. Slap on those Bass Weejuns (you can't wear them outside now anyway) and cut a rug inside where it's warm.
Shop yer head off:
It's possible to bring the entire world of shopping to a screen near you. Look for bargains on new and used -- the usual Ben Sherman and Fred Perry clothes and some vintage Penguin, Merc or Londsdale gear. Remember to buy for summer now, it's just around the corner! Set up a search for your brands and sizes and drive your self crazy with the famous eBay!
For hand-made scooter stuff, check out etsy.com. Affordable, hand-made stuff including some tasty scooter prints. Here's the link that I use.
In real, in-person life, I also hit the vintage clothing shops and let them know what I'm looking for, whether it be Bass Weejuns, Tootal scarves or any other Mod clobber. Royal Oak is home to the newly renovated Lost and Found Vintage and the treasure-trove of vintage shops in Ferndale include Mother Fletchers, Vogue Vintage, Regeneration, and of course the vendors in the fabulous Rust Belt Market. Get out there and get shopping!
Coming events: Despite all the winter weather, there is hope on the horizon - remember that the much heralded Autorama 2014 Detroit is only five weeks away. It's always a good time.
What's next: Getting warm, finally.

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Hotel Modern New Orleans
Nice hotel; reasonable price for downtown. Close to the train station. Shower is excellent--lots of room, lots of hot water. Payment a little wonky; we prepaid (for a considerable discount), but when we checked in, the guy didn't seem to understand that. The bill when we checked out was correct, though. Restaurant mediocre. Addendum: We stayed here one more night on the way back through, and the check-in process was much easier. They held our bags for us during the day because we got there early in the morning. We had to call twice though, to get a trash can brought to the room. Generally a good hotel, and I would stay there again, but be prepared for service that is just a little wonky.

The rooms themselves are great. The parking situation was a little hairy but and my room window opened up to a stairwell. The location is great because it is close enough to everything but far from the nightly nonsense.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Hotel Modern New Orleans
Pet Cemtery
My room had a view of the roof of another part of the building and there was a dead bird right outside our window. The carpets and bedding were stained there were tears in both our sheet and velour(polyester?) blanket. This room was in a state of disrepair and needed some serious cleaning. For some reason the room was very loud too. There was some sort of a vent into the hallway and we could hear every door slam. The staff was polite and the decor was pleasant. I don't like being charged for a safe that I am not going to use and phone calls that I am not going to make. Next time I *will* stay at the W, it is worth the extra cash.
Worst Hotel with Horrible Manager
The Manager Magda Chappetta is the most rude and inconsiderate woman ever and her staff is the same. After losing my reservation they sent me to a cheap and nasty hotel. She offered complimentary car service for my trouble however when I called about 2 hours later she declined to send a car. Please do not book reservations at this hotel, they do not honor expedia reservations. While I waited for an answer they did the same thing to another family.
Good value
Well after reading the first reviews and already having booked the room I was thinking I had made a mistake. But as the last few reviews came in I was beginning to feel better. Booked the room on the internet for about $66.00 per night without extras, taxes, phone safe, occupancy tax, etc. It actually ended up being $82.50 a night and having to pay the extra for the phone was great. You could call anybody long distance for free. My husband was not a believer as the room info said, I think $1.00 surcharge per call. But not true it was free. The room was a little smaller than average and there was not a window to see out of. There was a small window high up so you did get some sunlight. My only small compaint was we asked for extra pillows about 9am one morning and did not get them until we called back about 10pm the next night. All in all I would recommend this hotel, the trolley runs in front of the hotel but it is not a bad walk to get the Riverfront or the French Quarter. We did not use the trolley as the people looked like sardines in a can, but took nice walks during the day, when we came home a night from Bourbon Street we would catch a taxi a couple of blocks up and I think the fare was maybe $6.00.
A time to remember
We had read the reviews, and were expecting this horribly small room. True, we have stayed in larger rooms, but this room was far from small. It was well decorated, a place we felt very comforatble in. My significant other will leave a room if he is not happy, we stayed. The view was nothing to speak of, but we just closed the curtains. I loved the door leading into the bathroom, and the large shower in all marble. I found only one problem with the shower, it had no shelves for shampoo's, etc.
I was blown away with the phone service. You pay an insignificant fee, and you can call anywhere, and talk as long as you like. It made it easy to call my kids at night to say goodnight, and not worry about check out time when most hotels would then hand over a hugh bill for that call.
The location was very good. You walk out the front doors and right across the street you can catch a trolly car to take you to town. Nice for those of us who don't like to stay in town. Our over all stay there was a memorable one, and would stay there again, and recommend it.
We loved our stay there
The staff was friendly. The renovation of the building was well done. Rooms were modest in size but well done and there was plenty of space. We were impressed by the unlimited local and long distance telephone usage for 4.00 a day. Usually anywhere we have stayed would charge .50 - 1.50 per call just to make local calls, and forget about making a long distance call from a hotel phone unless you win the lottery 1st but from here, no problem. The Hotel is right on the street Car line making New Orleans very accessible.
New, modern, small, comfortable
In April 2002 my wife and I stayed at Le Cirque for four days. It was very new, modern, lots of marble and dark colors. The rooms were small but comfortable, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We liked the location between the Graden District to the west, and the Downtown Warehouse District and French Quarter to the east, on the streetcar line. We booked the room on the web, and at $75/night it was very nice.
Very cool and make your own judgements!
This hotel is really nice. It is not for those who are used to the major chains. So if you are used to staying at Holiday, Comfort, etc, don't bother staying here. This Hotel is not for you!
This hotel brings the best of contemporary design and service to New Orleans. It is the place for those who want more in a hotel and want something upscale to enjoy. The front desk clerks were wonderful! The valet guys were the best I have encountered in all of my stays in New Orleans. The bar was awesome and visually exciting. I didn't get to eat at the restaurant;it was always packed!
If you do stay here, try to get a room in the adjoining building. The rooms are slightly larger and much quieter. The room design is very cool and the bed was very comfy. I was very surprised to find a NY Times at my door in the morning. By the way, the rooms have safes in them. You are charged regardless. Even though I felt very safe at this Hotel, I suggest using them. This Hotel had the best phone deal I have ever encountered!
I work in the hospitality industry and every minor detail at this hotel is exactly what the other hotels have issues with. And that issue is housekeeping. The housekeepers were very friendly and our room was clean. However, the common areas could be kept cleaner. Maintence needs to tackle the peeling paint ( a common issue in New Orleans Hotels) in the hall.
If you want to try something different or you can't afford to stay at the W down the street, stay here. Highly reccomended for you little hipsters out there!
Ok, but lots of problems
The photos are misleading. They make you think that the lobby is large, theres maybe room for 4 people. The first room we were shown faced the front of the building, right on the street car line. It also had a broken window latch, so every time the street car went by it sounded like it was coming through the room. The next day, after we were told the latch had been broken during Mardi Gras and this was Jazz Fest time, we were moved to another room with the view of the dumpster. Luckily the dumpster was quiet at night.
The room next to us had ordered room service and when finished the tray was set outside their door. After two days of walking around the tray, I moved it to the center of the hallway. The employees pushed it to the side of the hall. It was still there when we left.
We also had excitement when the fire alarm was set off by the cleaning people at 2:00 AM, don't ask me how. We were waiting out on Lee Circle for the fire department. One of the other guests told me that this was the third time in three days. This was our first night and we never heard it again, so the cleaners must have improved.
I wonder if the food tray is still there.
Hotel &Restaurant: Snooty, Tasteless, Uncomfortable
As for the rooms, while stylishly decorated, you need to be extremely thin for two people to even maneuver around. the bedding felt cheap and uncomfortable, and the bathroom sink was too small, so water gets all over the floor. Bring flip-flops. Ladies, bring a caddy. There is no counter to place toiletries or makeup. The service was helpful, but we were sorely disappointed by the hidden charges when we got our bill. Anticipate spending twice as much as the room rate per night. I'm not kidding!
The worst part was the restaurant. New Orleans is known for great cuisine, so there is just no excuse for the meal we paid nearly $100 for. The maitre'd and the wait staff were cold and aloof. I guess some people think that passes for class. We ordered the herb-crusted salmon and the lemon chicken. I eat a lot of salmon, and I have never paid for salmon that had less taste or interest. The lemon chicken was even worse. The lemon compote was so strong that it actually had an amonia to it, giving the dish a urinal-crusted taste. I'm not kidding. We were confronted by our waiter, who complained that we hadn't eaten our meals, but never inquired if we found them satisfactory. We were anxious to leave, and saddened that in such a city we wasted a meal and $100 bucks in such a circus! Never again.
Beware of the Hidden Charges
After looking at the website for Hotel Le Cirque and finding such a "great" rate, I was excited. The website touted the hotels fabulous restaurant and mentioned that it was adjacent to a health club.
I was very dissapointed to find small rooms, no restaurant (it hasn't been added yet), and "extra" charges from the rate we were quoted over the phone. We were charged a mandantory $2 per night for a safe in the room (which we didn't use or need) and a $3.95 per night "energy" charge. I assumed that "energy" and a safe would be reflected in the rate we were given, but this is just another example of the type of service this "hotel" provides.
The adjacent health club is a YMCA. Mind you, we found out this hotel used to be a half way house and truthfully, is not in the best area of town. On the plus side, it is on the streetcar line... On the downside, it is not safe to leave the hotel after dark.
All-in-all, the location and the little charges made this a place that I would NEVER stay again.

Life and Style magazine is reporting that Katy Perry and John Mayer have flowen a dozen of their closest friends to Hawaii in a private jet today (Jan. 8). The big question is--what in the world is going on?
A source close to both Perry and Mayer told the magazine that the couple wanted to give their friends and family a special getaway and said that, "John and Katy greeted all of them with huge smiles and hugs and told them she wanted each one of them with her and John in Hawaii and that she loved them all."
This sounds serious and we have to wonder if the couple will tie the knot in a surprise wedding ceremony or if John will propose in front of all their friends and family?
Perry and Mayer have been dating on and off since 2012, but steadily on since last June. Mayer is totally smitten with Katy and has even referred to her as his "wife" in recent months. The couple has also released a duet titled, "Who You Love" that shows a very good chemistry between the pair.
Without an official announcement, we can only wonder what is going on with the famous couple and this "special getaway" in Hawaii. Is John going to propose to Katy? Or will they skip that little detail and get hitched? Their close friends and family members are already there so a surprise wedding is not out of the question.

Well Jennings if our GM knew what he was doing he would have traded you earlier. Then again you are not that great, so would you be a help to the Mavs? Maybe, but once they get sick of the sub 40% shooting you will not play very much.
Of course you would like to be in a winning environment, but you have not done a whole lot to help the Bucks win.Hide replies
Agreed. The minute the Bucks or Jennings agent did not get a deal done and Jennings did not sign they should have moved him. Hell, they should have moved Jennings to Orlando in a three way deawl if that would have worked and just kept TOBIAS HARRIS! When the rest of the league's GM's signed their PG's in his draft class and the Bucks did not they should have traded him then. But they didn't. The Bucks ask for stuff like this and you have to wonder if there is any competancy there in this regard?
Good luck, Brandon.... maybe Dallas & its fans would actually appreciate a player like you. Lord knows Milwaukee doesn't.Hide replies
In all likelihood, Dallas fans will not appreciate anyone that shoots less than 40% and is a turnover factory anymore than will Bucks fans.
No soup for you. Next!
Time to get my mind right:
"This won't come easy,
Tonight it won't come easy.
It won't come easy,
Hey Jim it won't come easy.
Got to pay BJ if you want Phenom to stay,
And you know cash don't come easy.
Sam don't have to shout or leap about,
Tonight he can take it easy.
Forget the Big Three and all your sorrows,
The playoff run won't last,
It might well be gone tomorrow.
John don't ask for much, He only wants your trust,
And it shouldn't come too easy.
And this angst of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know it just ain't easy.
Open up Herb's vault, sign Smith forever,
Use the amnesty
And we will make it work out better.
(ah -)
(ah -)
Gotta to sing the blues so Monta can shoot long twoes,
And you know they don't fall easy.
Drew won't have to shout or slide about,
In big D it ain't so freezy
Remember closing time is when we take it,
Here within your reach
If your guards are tall enough to make it.
John don't ask for much, He only wants your trust,
And it shouldn't come too easy.
The free agent list of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know they won't come easy."Hide replies
nice touch, ya chuckleHead.
You know it!
ahh there itk is---the meaning of "you have too much time on your hands," with apologies to ringo of course.
Who gives a crap....LEAVE!
He can't lead, he can't finish, he can't guard, and he can't shoot or score consistently in the paint nor at the rim. Maybe in Dallas he can get some calls but I would Collison over him.
Too streaky and moody with loose lips when things don't go his way. He is starting to be real punkish to me. Bucks BETTER NOT match anything he gets. Let him walk or sign and trade him.
You can hedge him and bump him on the drive and he is too slowreacting to double teams and too weak physically to pass out of them.
And he loves to waste time pounding the dribble and running the baseline and then lobbing out weak pass taken back the other way all to often. He clashes with Monta Ellis.
He is better off in the Western Conference anyways. Go...I won't blink. There are guys in college now beter then he is in many facets of the game. Get a guy from Kanasas or Oklahoma State and groom them and lets go.

The Pro C5100s/C5110s surpasses expectations with its front-to-back registration. This function enables the accurate production of duplexed sheets, allowing your business to deliver premium quality postcards, business cards and menus – all of which are ideal for digital printing as they often require smaller runs and quick turnarounds.Play Video
Registration results are further enhanced by VCSEL technology by allowing users to adjust the location of the image through the advanced settings of the paper library. The combination of these two technologies reduces waste and facilitates on-time and on-budget job completion.
The Pro C5100s/C5110s was specifically designed and engineered to meet the heavy stock and speciality substrate requirements of pay-for-print environments. This robust device prints on sizes up to 13" x 19.2" and paper weights up to 256gsm in duplex mode. It handles textured paper, envelopes, synthetic materials, labels, and thick and coated stocks with ease.
With a Pro C5100s/C5110s, you can expand your print-on-demand capabilites to offer a wide variety of media stocks in the production of direct mail, postcards, specialty books, promotional materials, posters, packaging labels and more.
Built-in technologies, including Paper Weight and Multi-Feed Detection sensors, keep the system running smoothly by minimizing the possibility of incomplete fusing, paper jams and blank sheet misfeeds.
Paper Weight Detection sensors compare the weight of the first sheet fed with the paper weight setting input by the user. If a mismatch is detected, the system will stop and notify the operator. Ensuring proper settings contributes to final output quality and helps keep the system in optimal condition as it reduces the possibility of damage.
Multi-Feed Detection sensors compare the paper weight of the foregoing and following sheet. If the paper weight should jump significantly from one to the other, the machine will sense the multi-feed, and printing will automatically stop. This reduces the chance of misprint and prevents blank sheets from getting mixed within the final print run.
For commercial printers who frequently produce jobs with high toner coverage on thin paper and paper with long grain, the optional Paper Decurler Unit is available.
This feature significantly reduces the natural curl that can occur to deliver sheets with optimal flatness, increases final output quality, and minimizes paper waste associated with unusable sheets.
Explore this module to learn more about the system's key features, functions and professional finishing options.
The newly designed 100-sheet ADF with duplexing capabilities quickly captures hardcopy originals for copying, editing, storing or electronic distribution. The system scans stacks of mixed originals over 200ipm in duplex mode.
The elevated status light is visible from long distance and any direction so users can monitor printer status in real time. If a change in status should occur, operators are automatically alerted that attention is needed.
The newly designed full-color WVGA articulating Control Panel displays easy-to-identify, vivid icons for quick and easy navigation. The articulating arm allows users to reposition the panel for optimal viewing. Users can also access the Paper Library and scan to the SD Card and USB slots directly from the panel.
New PxP-EQ toner spreads evenly across the page, allowing the toner to absorb light more efficiently and reflect more vibrant, consistent color, increasing color intensity by 10%. Operators can also replace toner cartridges on-the-fly, decreasing downtime and increasing productivity.
The main unit of the Pro C5100s/C5110s is made from Electric Furnance Steel Sheets which contribute to the unit's environmental features. Powered by a 320GB hard disk drive, this heavy-duty engine provides 1200 x 4800dpi imaging quality, speeds up to 80ppm and media support for 300gsm. With a maximum volume of 150,000 pages-per-month and monthly duty cycle of 300,000 pages, this reliable machine can be counted on day in and day out.
The compact design of the Pro C5100s/C5110s is ideal for organizations where space is limited. It features the smallest footprint in Ricoh's production lineup and requires less than 4 inches of clearance from the wall.
With a standard paper capacity of 3,850 sheets and a maximum capacity of 8,250 sheets, the Pro C5100s/C5110s helps keep workflow steady and enables long print runs without interruption.
All front-loading paper trays feature an LED light indicating which tray is in use. This allows users to easily refill another paper tray while the unit is still in operation.
Trained users can replace up to twelve key imaging components including the Fuser Unit and Feed Rollers, keeping the system performing at peak efficiency and ensuring jobs are delivered as scheduled.
The Waste Toner Bottle can be removed on-the-fly by a system operator. It does not require a service technician to be called or for the suspension of the printing process.
The Paper Decurl Unit reduces the natural curl that can occur when printing high toner coverage on thin paper and paper with long grain.
The optional Buffer Pass Unit helps minimize toner blocking on stacks of coated paper by cooling output prior to the media entering the finishing unit.
The Pro C5100s Series offers eight finisher options which allow for a large variety of output and finished product, including newsletters, brochures and perfect-bound, saddle-stitch and spiral-bound books. (Configuration shown with Dual Source cover interposer + 3,000-sheet finisher with 100-sheet stapling.)
With more demand for print jobs on larger media, the Pro C5100s/C5110s allows 13" x 19.2" sized media to be loaded directly in the mainframe. The system also supports specialty stocks and paper weights up to 300gsm; thick stocks up to 256gsm can be duplexed with ease. New transfer technology enables higher transfer quality onto textured surfaces.

Susan E. Waltz, PhDProfessor Department of Cancer and Cell Biology
Dr. Waltz has previously shown that targeted deletion of the Ron receptor tyrosine kinase (TK) domain in mice leads to marked hepatocyte protection in a well-characterized model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute liver failure (ALF) in D-galactosamine (GalN)-sensitized mice. To understand the role of Ron in the liver, purified populations of Kupffer cells and hepatocytes from wild-type (TK+/+) and TK-/- mice were studied. She has found that isolated TK-/- Kupffer cells produce increased levels of TNFα and select cytokines compared to TK+/+ cells following LPS stimulation. She also showed that conditioned media from LPS-treated TK-/- Kupffer cells was more toxic to hepatocytes than control media, suggesting the exaggerated levels of cytokines produced from the TK-/- Kupffer cells are detrimental to wild type hepatocytes. In addition, TK-/- hepatocytes were more resistant to cell death compared to TK+/+ hepatocytes, suggesting that Ron functions in both the epithelial and inflammatory cell compartments to regulate acute liver injury. Using conditional gene-targeting in vivo, she found that Ron loss selectively in hepatocytes exhibited less liver damage and increased survival compared to mice with Ron loss in macrophages. Currently, Dr. Waltz is investigating the non-hepatic consequences of Ron loss in GI related inflammatory responses during obesity and intestinal injury.
Dr. Waltz collaborates with Dr. Leonis in studies of Ron in liver pathobiology. Projection of Core use: Gene and Protein Expression, Bioinformatics, and Integrative Morphology Cores.

Liberal rarely has more size than their opponent. But Friday night when the 2-5 Redskins visit the 1-6 Wichita West Pioneers, the Redskins face their 'biggest' challenge this year. LHS head coach Wade Standley says West poses some challenges. "They're a team which will bring a lot of athletes on the field," Standley said. "They've had some struggles at times during the year. They will be the biggest team we've faced this year. They've got a left guard and a left tackle and one's 400 lbs. and the other's 300 lbs. They're huge." But West is stuggling. They've lost six straight to North, Southeast, Northwest, Kapaun, East, and Carroll since their opening 34-7 win at South. After scoring 53 points the first two weeks, the Pioneers haven't been blazing any trails the past five weeks scoring just 20 points. But it's West who stands in Liberal's way of achieving their goals. Just ask senior safety Gilberto Arellano. "This is an important game," Arellano said. "If we win this game we go to the playoffs and it will set up the chance to play for the district title next week." Senior tight end Devon Davis says the Redskins continue to improve. "I can see our lineman are making our blocks and the backs are making their cuts," Davis said. "Even the receivers have gotten better at running their routes and making their blocks. The defense, they've become exceptional players. They make the tackles, the interceptions, and force the fumbles."
Liberal will be making their first trip to the "Air Capital" to play West since 1997 when LHS won 31-7. Last year the Skins tomahawked the Pioneers 63-6 at Redskin Field. Coach Speak begins at 5 PM with Redskin Pre-game at 6 PM and kickoff at 7 PM on Talkradio 1270 and kscb.net.
