Profiles in Courageby John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy (Foreword by), Caroline Kennedy (Introduction)
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1957, Profiles in Courage -- now featuring a new
During 1954-1955, John F. Kennedy, then a U.S. senator, chose eight of his historical colleagues to profile for their acts of astounding integrity in the face of overwhelming opposition. These heroes include John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, and Robert A. Taft.
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1957, Profiles in Courage -- now featuring a new Introduction by Caroline Kennedy, as well as Robert Kennedy's Foreword written for the 1964 memorial edition -- resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of virtues and is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit. It is, as Robert Kennedy writes, "not just stories of the past but a book of hope and confidence for the future. What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us."

Courage and Politics
This is a book about the most admirable of human virtues--courage. "Grace under pressure," Ernest Hemingway defined it. And these are the stories of the pressures experienced by eight United States Senators and the grace with which they endured them--the risks to their careers, the unpopularity of their courses, the defamation of their characters, and sometimes, but sadly only sometimes, the vindication of their reputations and their principles.
A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or reward that quality in its chosen leaders today-- and in fact we have forgotten. We may remember how John Quincy Adams became President through the political schemes of Henry Clay, but we have forgotten how, as a young man, he gave up a promising Senatorial career to stand by the nation. We may remember Daniel Webster for his subservience to the National Bank throughout much of his career, but we have forgotten his sacrifice for the national good at the close of that career. We do not remember--and possibly we do not care.
"People don't give a damn," a syndicated columnist told millions of readers not so many years ago, "what the average Senator or Congressman says. The reason they don't care is that they know what you hear in Congress is 99% tripe, ignorance and demagoguery and not to be relied upon ......
Earlier a member of the Cabinet had recorded in his diary:
While I am reluctant to believe in the totaldepravity of the Senate, I place but little dependenceon the honesty and truthfulness of a largeportionof the Senators. A majority of them are small lights,mentally weak, and wholly unfit to be Senators.Some are vulgar demagogues ... some are men ofwealth who have purchased their position ... [someare] men of narrow intellect, limited comprehension,and low partisan prejudice....
And still earlier a member of the Senate itself told his colleagues that "the confidence of the people is departing from us, owing to our unreasonable delays."
The Senate knows that many Americans today share these sentiments. Senators, we hear, must be politicians--and politicians must be concerned only with winning votes, not with statesmanship or courage. Mothers may stiff want their favorite sons to grow up to be President, but according to a famous Gallup poll of some years ago, they do not want them to become politicians in the process.
Does this current rash of criticism and disrespect mean the quality of the Senate has declined? Certainly not. For of the three statements quoted above, the first was made in die twentieth century, the second in the nineteenth and the third in the eighteenth (when the first Senate, barely underway, was debating where the Capitol should be located).
Does it mean, then, that the Senate can no longer boast of men of courage?
Walter Lippmann, after nearly half a century of careful observation, rendered in his recent book a harsh judgment both on the politician and the electorate:
With exceptions so rare they are regarded as miracles of nature, successful democratic politicians are insecure and intimidated men. They advance politically only as they placate, appease, bribe, seduce, bamboozle, or otherwise manage to manipulate the demanding threatening elements in their constituencies. The decisive consideration is not whether the proposition is good but whether it is popular-not whether it will work well and prove itself, but whether the active-talking constituents like it immediately.
I am not so sure, after nearly ten years of living and working in the midst of "successful democratic politicians," that they are all "insecure and intimidated men." I am convinced that the complication of public business and the competition for the public's attention have obscured innumerable acts of political courage-large and small--performed almost daily in the Senate Chamber. I am convinced that the decline-if there has been a decline-has been less in the Senate than in the public's appreciation of the art of politics, of the nature and necessity for compromise and balance, and of the nature of the Senate as a legislative chamber. And, finally, I am convinced that we have criticized those who have followed the wordand at the same time criticized those who have defied itbecause we have not fully understood the responsibility of a Senator to his constituents or recognized the difficulty facing a politician conscientiously desiring, in Webster's words, "to push [his] skiff from the shore alone" in a hostile and turbulent sea. Perhaps if the American people more fully comprehended the terrible pressures which discourage acts of political courage, which drive a Senator to abandon or subdue his conscience, then they might be less critical of those who take the easier road-and more appreciative of those still able to follow the path of courage.
The first pressure to be mentioned is a form of pressure rarely recognized by the general public. Americans want to be liked-and Senators are no exception. They are by natureand of necessity-social animals. We enjoy the comradeship and approval of our friends and colleagues. We prefer praise to abuse, popularity to contempt. Realizing that the path of the conscientious insurgent must frequently be a lonely one, we are anxious to get along with our fellow legislators, our fellow members of the club, to abide by the clubhouse rules and patterns, not to pursue a unique and independent course which would embarrass or irritate the other members. We realize, moreover, that our influence in the club-and the extent to which we can accomplish our objectives and those of our constituents--are dependent in some measure on the esteem with which we are regarded by other Senators. "The way to get along," I was told when I entered Congress, "is to go along."
Going along means more than just good fellowship--it includes the use of compromise, the sense of things possible.Profiles in Courage. Copyright © by John F. Kennedy. Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved. Available now wherever books are sold.

What is courage? And how does one express it in the political realm? Politicians have a rather bad reputation, and some of it is deserved, but all of it is not. Before he became President, while serving in the United States Senate, John F. Kennedy wrote this book to chronicle the lives of eight United States Senators from history who showed courage by following their consciences in opposition to their party, their section, or even prevailing public opinion. Kennedy does not argue whether they were right or wrong in their beliefs and actions. In fact, some of them took exactly opposition positions on certain issues from others. But what Kennedy wished to emphasize is that we do not necessarily have to agree with people to admire the courage that it took for them to stand up for what they thought was right. The list includes John Quincy Adams, later President, who in opposition to his Federalist party voted for the Embargo Bill to keep English ships from attacking American ones; Daniel Webster who set aside his own opposition to slavery to support the Compromise of 1850 which effectively gave the North more time to prepare for the Civil War; Thomas Hart Benton who supported the Union in spite of the fact that his state of Missouri was a slave-holding state and thus helped keep Missouri from seceding; Sam Houston who also supported the Union in spite of the fact that his state of Texas was a slave state and later when it did secede was ousted as governor at the time; Edmund G. Ross who voted not to remove Andrew Johnson from office; Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, a southerner who tried to heal the breach between North and South caused by the Civil War; George W. Norris, a progressive Republican who opposed his party on many issues in the early twentieth century; and Robert A. Taft who objected to the Nuremberg Trials following World War II. One may not agree with all the political principles which Kennedy sets forth in the first chapter, but he still makes some interesting and important points. Unfortunately, he includes a number of quotations in which some form of the "d" word is found and the term "God" is used as an interjection. Otherwise, it is an enlightening account of important historical people and events. In the 1960s a television series entitled Profiles in Courage was made, using seven of the eight examples cited by Kennedy (Lamar was excluded, perhaps because he had fought for the South during the Civil War) and adding several others. It's generally conceded today that Kennedy had much to do with the opening and closing chapters of the book, but Dr. Jules Davids and Ted Sorensen, later an assistant to President Kennedy, contributed most of what lies between. It still won a Pulitzer Prize.
I was sitting in Barnes & Noble, waiting for my friend to arrive. She lives far from me, and B&N is a half-way point for us. Anyway, on my way to the chairs in the back, where I was planning to sit down and read "The Princess Diaries", I saw this book in the little bargain section. I love JFK and I'd heard of the book, so I decided to pick it up and read it instead. I loved every minute of it. I learned about some politicians who I'd never heard of (Ross is a good example), and I couldn't help but feel inspired to always stand up for what I believe in. It also reminded me of the reasons I admire Mr. Kennedy as a president, despite the fact that I'm both 16 and a conservative Republican. The book showed exactly what made him great, and reminded me of all the reasons our country is great.
I listened to this on audio cassette. As I began listening to it, I began to wonder if it would have even gotten published if the author had been John Doe. I did come away from listening to the book admiring President Kennedy's extensive vocabulary. Also, John Jr.'s reading of it seemed to lack spirit. With one exception, I though it was informative but not that interesting. The one part that was extremely interesting was the part about Edmund G. Ross. That section was breathtaking. It was Edmund G. Ross's vote who kept Andrew Johnson in office after Lincoln's assasination. If Senator Ross had voted differently, the politicians who wanted to treat the South as vanquished territories would have been in power. If that had happened, would the United States be what it is today?
The book is quite interesting & absorbing & a solid contribution to American history. The reason for only 2 stars is that it WAS ghostwritten by Kennedy friend/speechwriter, Ted Sorensen, who admitted as much before he died. JFK not only accepted the Pulitzer Prize for it, he said nothing about who really wrote it. Admittedly, he supposedly did give the prize money to charity. But his own acttions hardly qualify as a "profile in courage".
In our greed based society, these timeless stories of intrepidity need to be introduced to the youth of our country!
Hello people, it's 2010 and I cannot believe the Kennedy's are still trying to convince the world that JFK wrote this book. It was written by Ted Sorensen. It was made an instant bestseller because Joseph Kennedy bought thousands of copies. google, google, google.
I have loved this book since my first reading sometime in the 60s. It is still just as topical as it was then and always enlightening. You can't read about these men without being inspired. And, of course, the writer is so very inspirational on his own. I have the editions with forward by Senator Robert Kennedy as well as the original edition. I have just added this edition to my library of Kennedy books as a very important part of my collection. Caroline's memories and her love for her father, can be heard as she writes. She is an accomplished writer on her own, and adds just the right touch to this edition.
Should have elaborated in depth on family history.
This book has inspired me to do more. John F. Kennedys' wrtting is the best. He tells it as it is and, from his own words. This book has helped me alot to think differently brfore joining the Marine Corps.

Who is Hartford's Recycling Hero? You are!
Published: June 3, 2011
FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 2011—Mayor Pedro E. Segarra joined City officials and representatives from Recyclebank® on Friday at Bow Tie Cinema Palace 17 and Odyssey Theatre to announce the debut of Hartford's Recycling Hero and promote the rollout of the Public Service Announcement "now showing" in theatres. The superhero character was designed to empower residents to increase the amount they recycle with their single-stream recycling carts and she makes her debut the same weekend that "X-men: First Class" arrives in movie theatres.
Hartford is no stranger to recycling. Single-stream recycling and the Recyclebank partnership came about in 2008. The pilot program was so successful that it went citywide a year later. This is also when the City launched its partnership with Recyclebank. The company rewards Hartford residents who sign up to make everyday green actions turn into discounts and deals from local and national businesses.
"Hartford is getting much better when it comes to recycling, but we can still do more," said Mayor Segarra. "In the last 10 months, Hartford residents recycled more than 3,830 tons, saving Hartford more than $264,000. That's an astounding amount; however, we can all be heroes and help save the world by recycling more. Hartford's Recycling Hero inspires all of us to do just that!"
The City's Department of Public Works teamed up with local artist Joe Young to design an environmentally conscious superhero. Her source of power is her crown of recyclables, which she collects and ensures are properly recycled. The blue and green accents on her costume are a nod towards Hartford's "Go Green, Use Blue" program and the blue bins residents use to recycle. Hartford's Recycling Hero wears a green cape and her boots are emblazoned with the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" arrows to remind Hartford residents to take green actions.
"There's a Recycling Hero in all of us," stated Mayor Segarra. "The city provides all residents with the opportunity to recycle either with a blue single-stream recycling cart or the new recycling center off of Jennings Road. Each time we stop and think twice about throwing something away and instead recycling it, we improve our quality of life, reduce disposal costs and help ensure that our city will be healthy for future generations."
With Recyclebank, Hartford residents earn points each time they recycle, similar to a frequent flyer program, only instead residents earn points for being green. They can use those points to "shop" at www.Recyclebank.com for rewards like discounts and deals from local and national businesses.
"When you recycle, Recyclebank rewards you for it," said Beth Kean-Waddell, Northeast Vice President at Recyclebank. "When given this type of incentive, people tend to do the green thing. It's nice to be rewarded for doing something good. In Hartford, we've witnessed an amazing change in behavior—residents are motivated to recycle more and recycling has doubled. We're proud of the City's residents and are excited to see how Hartford's Recycling Hero motivates even more people to go green."
"The Recyclebank program was a great first step in motivating Hartford residents towards more sustainable actions. Hartford's Recycling Hero is the next big step towards a more sustainable Hartford," said Marilynn Cruz‐Aponte, assistant to the director at the City's Department of Public Works. "However, Hartford's Recycling Hero is every Hartford resident who can make a difference."
Hartford accepts plastics #1 through #7 (with the exception of plastic bags), glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminum cans, newspaper, cardboard boxes and other paper products, including waxy milk and juice cartons. For more information on recycling in Hartford, residents can call 311 or visit www.Hartford.gov. To earn rewards for recycling, residents must register for a free account with Recyclebank and verify their home address. They can do so online at www.Recyclebank.com or by calling 1 (888) 727-2978.
Recyclebank® helps create a more sustainable future by rewarding people for taking everyday green actions with discounts and deals from more than 3,000 local and national businesses. Through its online platform and partnerships with municipalities, haulers, small businesses and corporate brands, Recyclebank is empowering individuals to make a collective impact on the environment by increasing household recycling, reducing household energy usage and learning to live greener lives. Recognized as a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, a Champion of the Earth by the United Nations Environment Program and for Outstanding Excellence in Public/Private Partnerships from the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Recyclebank is headquartered in New York City.

Hippies died and Yippies take their place and head to Chicago. Lyndon quit and everybody runs for president. Hair invades Broadway. TV cancels all War Dramas, but adds Gomer Pyle . The oldest Boomers become eligible to vote…Antiheroes flood the big screen and riots in Chicago and assassinations of MLK and RFK inspire ultraviolent flicks.
1966: Dark Shadows
President Johnson declared in his State of the Union, "The United States will remain in Vietnam until aggression there ends." According to the polls, LBJ scored high with nearly 70% of the general public. Teenage Boomers rated him zilch, but since none of us were eligible to vote, no one (over thirty) asked for our opinion.
The Generation Gap dwarfed the Grand Canyonin 1966. If you flipped on Top 40 radio the day of Lyndon's speech, you probably heard Sgt. Barry Sadler singing the praises of the good soldier in The Ballad of the Green Beret, followed by Lennon's (He's a real) Nowhere Man. Or, Frank Sinatra reminiscing on different periods of his long life, declaring after each verse, It Was a Very Good Year, followed by the Who, stuttering "People try to put us down/ Just because we get around/ They don't dig our hair or clothes/ Hope I die before I get old/ Ta-ta-talking 'bout my generation." Teens were California Dreaming with the Mamas and the Papas, except for thousands who had already run away, and then wished that they Homeward Bound like Simon and Garfunkel. The Rolling Stones delivered the Boomer State of the Union: (Here comes your) 19th Nervous Breakdown.
Teenagers rode an emotional roller coaster. Paul Simon boasted of Feeling Groovy one minute, and then appeared isolated and withdrawn the next in I Am a Rock. A year prior, Dylan and Byrds begged, "Take me on a trip upon your magic, swirling ship." This year, the Beach Boys sailed on board the Sloop John B, felt homesick, and complained, "This is the worst trip I've ever been on." A bit later, the band was (I'm Picking up) Good Vibrations, while ? and the Mysterians cried 96 Tears. The Beatles declared Got to get you into my life, but the Supremes had another idea with, "Get out of my life, why don't you, Babe?" Again, the Beatles were optimistic, "I can wait forever, I've got time," but not so the Outsiders, who sang "I can't wait forever/ Time won't let wait that long."
We heard songs of great faith from the lightweights: (You're my) Soul and Inspiration by the Righteous Brothers, I'm a Believer by the Monkees, God Only Knows by the Beach Boys… And songs of no faith from the heavyweights: Dylan sang, "Human Gods… made flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark/ It's easy to see without looking too far/ That not much is really sacred." Along that same line, the Beatles told us the story of "Father McKenzie, writing the words of the sermon that no one will hear… All the lonely people/ Where do they all belong?" Perhaps aboard the Yellow Submarine? The Stones nixed the idea, "No colors anymore/ I want to paint it black."
The radio played tunes that created images of ideal love, as in Soul and Inspiration and Cherish, and reflections of raunchy, get-down lure in (My Baby does the) Hanky Panky and Wild Thing. Even eternal teens, the Beach Boys, admitted that they lusted in their hearts, in Wouldn't It Be Nice ("If we could sleep together?"). Cherish wasn't a word to be found in the vocabulary of the Rolling Stones in 1966 in (Look at that) Stupid Girl and (She's) Under My Thumb.
Nothing was simple… black and white… clearly right or wrong. Even the names of the groups were confusing. The Lovin' Spoonful (Mary Poppins' Spoonful of Sugar, or a junkie's spoonful of smack?) felt up with What a Day for a Daydream, then down with "Hot town, 'Summer in the City' / Back of neck feeling dirty and gritty," and then perfectly happy again with "You and me and 'Rain on the Roof.'" Finally, even they had to admit that "It ain't often easy, It ain't often kind/ Did you ever have to make up your mind?"
In an intense comeback attempt, Phil Spector reflected the wide spectrum of changes going on inside our heads, as he produced River Deep, Mountain High for Ike and Tina Turner. But he used the same old Wall of Sound technique and the record flopped. Spector announced his retirement at the age of 26.
Defense Secretary McNamara revealed on March 2nd that US troop strength in Vietnam already topped 215,000, with 20,000 more Boomers on the way to the combat zone. That same month, the Beach Boys declared, "I feel so broke up, I want to go home," and Peter, Paul and Mary released The Cruel War. Dylan, with tongue firmly in cheek, declared, "Everybody must get stoned." Why not? The Great Society sends you half way around the world to get stoned in the Biblical sense, so why not stone yourself in a way that's a lot more fun? The Byrds soared Eight Miles High in the "5-D" (Fifth Dimension), tripping with Mr. Space Man. The Stones' Mother's Little Helper pointed out that pill popping had become a traditional, popular sport for our hypocritical elders. The Beatles confirmed their diagnosis with a second opinion in Dr. Roberts. Dylan observed that Boomer daughters had inherited a pill-popping habit from their moms: "With your amphetamines and pearls… Just like a woman."
The Association celebrated the arrival and acceptance of marijuana into mainstream pop culture, with Along Comes Mary. The Beatles encouraged us to "Turn off your mind and gently float upstream," as the Trade Winds offered to take us on a Mind Excursion. Kicks attempted to be an anti-drug song, but Boomers interpreted the line "Kicks just keep getting harder to find" to mean that supply fell far short of a rapidly growing demand among young people. Teens rejected the recreational vehicles of the past, such as booze, prescription uppers and downers, and searched for kicks of their own. Pot was king, with LSD catching on fast. Donovan boldly (and erroneously) predicted the future: "Elec-a-tricka banana (smoking banana peels), it's bound to be the very next craze."
Before AM radio station managers and parents deciphered the hidden, trippy lyrics on several new records, the damage had been done. Dr. Timothy Leary spread the word for years, but Boomers heard the message for the first time: "Tune in, turn on, drop out."
Teens turned off Television. The network cancelled Gidget because kids refused to be sucked back into the beach scene. Then Shindig and Hullabaloo bit the dust… Go-go dancers and lip synch looked too phony now. TV offered teenagers a compromise, and tried to coax them back to the innocent, I-Wanna-Hold-Your-Hand era with The Monkees (modeled after the Beatles' movie, A Hard Day's Night). But the TV program had none of the rebellious spark of the flick. Don Kirshner put the package together, and his old Brill Building ex-assembly-line songwriters cranked out most of the songs on the show. Some Boomers (mostly 9 to 12 year-olds) took the bait, but First-Wavers just laughed. The Monkees exposed glaring proof of the communication gap…the exact opposite of the direction in which Rock & Roll was headed.
Boomers laughed even harder at Batman. Again, the networks aimed at the vast Boomer market, and completely missed the mark. War Babies bought American Dreamish DC Comics, such as Batman, Superman and The Flash, back in the dark ages of the 1950s. Boomer kids read the much hipper, Marvel Comics, including Dr. Strange, Spiderman, Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four, Captain America and The Incredible Hulk in the '60s. Because of this incredible misunderstanding, Batman became the first "camp" (Cannabis Aided Mass Popularity) TV series of the Baby Boomer Generation. The Caped Crusader acted just too good to be true… a hilarious bore, completely predictable and superficial, and yet, he displayed all of the correct characteristics and behavior that society had shoved down Boomers' throats since birth. But the fact remains that Batman was a moron. Kids began to notice similarities between him and the heroes on serious law-and-order TV programs, thus diminishing their credibility. In fact, teens lost respect for most of the establishment's champions of justice, and created their own counterculture heroes instead.
The television network remained clueless as they tried to slip in an old WASP favorite, Tarzan, into primetime. Since "uppity Blacks" at home, and "yellow Commie devils" abroad gave Lyndon such a hard time, TV decided that a little reminder of White Supremacy was in order. Television's first Tarzan, Ron Ely, appeared naturally stronger, smarter and braver than all the Blacks in Africa. The Great White Hope defeated whole tribes of the inferior race without breaking a sweat. TV axed Tarzan right about the time of the Tet Offensive of 1968, when those sneaky Asian Commies caught us by surprise, and then seriously kicked some white butts.
The Green Hornet, the only new superhero on the tube with enough common sense to realize that some non-Whites may be equal, or even superior, hired Bruce Lee (as Kato) to watch his back. Who would you rather have on your side in a real fight, the Boy Wonder or Bruce?
The superhero shows in 1966 tried to provide little Boomer boys with macho role models, but how about their sisters? They received That Girl, a young, single woman with a career, making it on her own. Unfortunately, that girl was Marlo Thomas, child of Danny, the perfect 50's parent on Make Room for Daddy. Marlo had a Teen Idol Era look: False eyelashes, stiff helmet hairdo and Mod clothing, just as First Wave Boomer girls moved out of Barbieville.
As teens tuned out, ratings dropped, and the networks wallowed in the mire. The titles of the new programs reflected their mood. Dark Shadows (with vampires) premiered as the only new soap opera, Rat Patrol as the new war show, and Felony Squad as the new law-and-order show. Could they win hippie Boomer teens back to tube with their new spy thriller? Mission Impossible.
Boomers lost all faith in television as a tool to provide role models and morals, and turned en masse to the silver screen for more accurate reflections. Just beyond the American Dream's perfect love/marriage/family myth, came another British Invasion, this time of films about broken marriages and empty affairs: Alfie, Morgan, Georgie Girl, and a carryover from 1965, Darling. Buffy Sainte-Marie sang, "Don't ask forever of me, just love me now" on the radio, and teens reconsidered attitudes toward love and sex. Teen girls tried to explain, "But Mom, you didn't have the pill as an option when you were my age. The world isn't flat anymore."
Boomers couldn't find any relevant heroes on either the tube or big screen in 1966, so they began their first serious celluloid flirtation with antiheroes. War Babies had Brando in The Wild One back in the Dark Ages, but Marlon and his biker buddies spent all of their time boozing, cruising, bruising and terrorizing just for the hell of it. Boomer kids identified more with The Wild Angels… a bunch of long-haired, pot-smoking, acid-dropping (Ken Kesey turned on the real Hell's Angels in 1965) hippieish bikers, just looking for a little space. The Angels never played the aggressors in these stories; instead, they appeared as innocent victims of an oppressive police state. Peter Fonda astride his chopper looked just as romantic an image to Boomers as his father, atop his steed had for our parents. But now, the quest was no longer to tame the wild frontier, but to escape Big Brother… to hang on to your freedom and individuality at any cost.
The antihero in Fahrenheit 451 faced the same challenge in a society where television grew all-consuming and "firemen" burned books in an effort to "make history more flexible and to maintain sameness among the masses." This movie inspired a few Boomers to drastic action… they actually began to read. 1984, Animal Farm, Stranger in a Strange Land, Catch 22 and Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest all contained a favorite hippie theme similar to that in Fahrenheit 451: "Who should be called sane in an insane society?"
Americans watched TV news in horror as nightmare images filled their living rooms with mass murderers, Richard Speck (eight student nurses, stabbed and strangled in Chicago) and Charles Whitman (13 cut down and 31 wounded in a sniper attack from a tower at the University of Texas at Austin), more race riots (the biggest in Cleveland's Hough Ghetto), a riot of WASP kids on the Sunset Strip, growing antiwar demonstrations at the White House and at Dow Chemical (makers of napalm and Agent Orange) headquarters, as McNamara calmly announced to the press that more than 2,000 American kids died in Vietnam during the first five months of the year, and that more than 285,000 Boomer teens were now in the combat zone.
Dylan sang, "Sooner or later one of us must know/ And only time will tell/ Which one of us has fell/ And which one was left behind/ When you go your way and I'll go mine." Boomers dropped out of the Great Society in droves, but where were they headed?
Boomers turned away from TV, traditionalHollywoodfilms and Top 40 radio for the remainder of the decade, and instead, searched for better reflections in counterculture flicks, underground newspapers and psychedelic music from small, independent FM radio stations. They dug a subterranean counterculture Teen Utopia all their own.
"Who could imagine that they would freak out in Minnesota, mina-mina-mina-Minnesota?" mocked Frank Zappa in the title cut of his first album, Freak Out, in late 1966. It was true… Boomers all over theUnited States rapidly converted to hippism.
Dylan warned in Subterranean Homesick Blues, "Look out, Kid, they keep it all hid," and the obscure lyrics cleared the censors, and gave Bob his first Top 40 hit. Zappa didn't care about his chance on pop radio in Trouble Every Day: "And there ain't no Great Society as it applies to you and me/ Our country isn't free and the law refuses to see/ That all you can ever be is just a lousy janitor/ Unless your uncle owns the store." Frank belonged to a new breed of Rock musicians who mocked hit singles and Bandstand. The Mothers of Invention packed them in on the Sunset Strip and didn't need the Music Establishment. In Who Are the Brain Police? Zappa enticed Boomers to question traditional values: "Is that what you really believe, or is it what the media hype and your mama told you to believe?" First Wave Boomers understood, and then began to resent all the media manipulation and censorship on TV and AM radio. As Zappa continued to insult everyone, including his fans, the audience grew: "You're probably wondering why I'm here/ Not that you care, you plastic freaks." The Mothers traveled toNew York in the fall and advertised their show as "Absurd and a total waste of three dollars." Anti-hype instantly caught on with the counterculture.
The music scenes in LA and NYC were just a seed in the lid compared to the explosion in San Francisco. An estimated 1,000 psychedelic rock bands called the Bay area home by 1967. San Franciscoalready claimed the title of "dropout capitol of the West Coast" (Greenwich Villagein the East), dating back to the Beat era and Kerouac's On the Road. Hippies and freaks fit right in. Freedom of Speech headquarters lay just across the bay at Berkeley, and underground newspapers, like the Berkeley Barb and Mojo Navigator put the real buzz out into the community.
As might be expected, the US government supplied the largest single contribution in the development of the counterculture. They selected Ken Kesey as one of their $75-a-day human guinea pigs for a "mind control" experiment with LSD at Menlo Park Clinic in late 1959 and early 1960 (before Leary's research at Harvard). Ken helped himself to some free samples, and soon he and friends back at Perry Lane conducted their own experiments. They deduced that LSD was a mind-expanding, rather than a mind-controlling drug, and thus, felt compelled to spread the good news to the freak community. By 1965, Kesey, Augustus Owsley Stanley III ("The Henry Ford of acid"), a little-known band called the Warlocks (who soon renamed themselves the Grateful Dead) and a group of Ken's friends presented The Merry Pranksters' Acid Tests. Kesey explained his mission: "As navigator of this venture, I try, as much as possible to set out in a direction that, in the first place, is practically impossible to achieve, and then along the way mess up the minds of the crew with as many chemicals as we can lay our hands on." With everyone in the proper frame of mind, the Pranksters proceeded with their mixed media experience: strobe lights, movie projections, taped sound effects, live cosmic raps, black lights, and some stoned-out Rock & Roll from Jerry Garcia and company, in an effort to provide a thought-provoking, mind-expanding experience and a lot of fun. The performers encouraged the audience to join in the fun, as Garcia explained: "We all preferred the anarchy of the Tests in a lot of ways. Every person was a participant and everywhere was the stage. We didn't have to entertain anybody. We were no more famous than anybody else."
Teens considered LSD a noble, brain-building exercise in 1966… just the thing to help shed the blind faith tunnel vision of their elders. Hippies and freaks rejected the Great Society, and the human mind became their New Frontier. They expected to explore time and space, and then to push imagination to the limit in search of a better world.
TV claimed to be hip to the scene, but as usual, stumbled in the wrong direction with It's About Time. Plot: two astronauts broke though the time barrier and crash-landed in a prehistoric cave-dwelling neighborhood. In Irwin Allen's The Time Tunnel the heroes bounce helplessly from past to future and back again, but were never able to connect with the present. (television networks suffered from that same affliction throughout the '60s.) TV finally took a lucky stab and hit a spot where teens might find happiness… aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, working in harmony to rid the universe of evil for the benefit of all. The crew included women, Blacks, Asians, a Russian, aliens, and even a Scotsman! The well-written scripts were usually thinly disguised studies of contemporary social problems, cloaked in extraterrestrial settings. Star Trek reflected the highest ideals and aspirations of teens… definitely the classic show of the entire Flower Power ear. Unfortunately, hippies didn't own TV sets and none of them bought the sponsors' products. Most of them didn't see Star Trek the first time around.
Very few members of the hippie/freak counterculture held steady jobs, and "rent parties" became an acceptable way of raising money without selling out to the system. Plenty of garage bands in the San Francisco bay area played free every weekend. Everyone chipped in a buck or two at the door, to postpone the money hassles of everyday living for another month. Local Teens asked themselves, "Let's see. Should I 1) live on the mean streets, or 2) work forty hours-a-week at minimum wage, or 3) host a rent party once a month for a place to live?" A no-brainer for young people at the time. An enterprising group of kids known as The Family Dog decided to try it on a large scale. They borrowed money from their parents, rented the Longshoreman's Auditorium, tacked up colorful flyers all over town, and on October 16, 1965, put on a concert called Tribute to Dr. Strange. The show featured The Jefferson Airplane and The Great Society (with Gracie Slick), and was such a hit that the following week The Dog added a light show in A Tribute to Sparkle Plenty with the Lovin' Spoonful.
The ultra political San Francisco Mime Troupe desperately needed money to pay the legal fees from the frequent obscenity busts, and the Family Dog shows impressed their manager. Bill Graham organized a benefit, introducing New York City's Fugs to the West Coast. The band wowed the audience with such underground classics as I Couldn't Get High and Kill for Peace. Graham then put together a three-day "Trips Festival" for the Merry Pranksters at the Longshoremen's on January 21-3, 1966. Anarchy ruled. Someone slipped LSD to the rent-a-cops, last seen playing with a Slinky. But one thing did become clear at this chaotic concert… people paid to see the bands, Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Grateful Dead, not for the psychedelic "experience." Rock stepped forward as the dominant force of the counterculture.
The success of the Trips Festival amazed Bill Graham, and he searched for a permanent home for hippie concerts. He found the Fillmore Auditorium (capacity- 1,500) in the heart ofSan Francisco's ghetto and teamed up with a couple of guys from the Family Dog to get it open. But they needed a bigger hall to hold the egos involved, and the two Dogs went to look for their own place. They grabbed the Avalon (capacity- 1,600), just a mile away.
All of the elements fell into place for the SF Psychedelic Music Scene: the bands, the drugs and venues to play. The hippies and freaks created their own music industry, ignoring most of the rules along the way. Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Airplane commented, "Nobody (of the kids in SF) listened to Top 40. We didn't start out wanting to be on the radio or even working in that direction. We didn't want to know anything about that stuff." Teens didn't swarm to the Fillmore and Avalon for a note-for-note rehash of hit singles. They expected a new and unique rendition each time and bands delivered. Pace and length varied each performance and groups like the Dead would often stretch a tune out for twenty minutes or more with long improvisations. If it felt good, the band played on. Marty Balin declared, "The stage is our bed and the audience is our broad."
The chauvinistic counterculture movement improved a bit in 1966 as Janis Joplin joined Big Brother and Grace Slick dumped the Great Society in October to front the Jefferson Airplane. Now, two Queen Bees ruled the hive.
Teens felt great strength in brother (and finally, sister)hood. The counterculture formed its own society, dedicated to survival outside the system. Zappa sang a new Declaration of Independence:
Mr.America, walk on by/ Your schools that do not teach
Mr.America, walk on by/ The minds that won't be reached
Mr.Americatry to hide the emptiness that's you inside
But once you find that the way you lied and all the corny tricks you tried
Will not forestall the rising tide/ Of Hungry Freaks, Daddy…
Those who aren't afraid to say what's on their minds
The left-behinds of the Great Society.
Or, was that a Declaration of War and a shot at LBJ? On the opposite coast the Fugs sang, "If we don't kill them, the Chinese will/ And you don't want America to play second fiddle/ So, kill, kill, kill for peace."
Dark Shadows, indeed, and things would get even darker. Bob Dylan broke his neck in a motorcycle accident on July 29th, and rumors circulated that he lay near death. California elected the new Old Ranger from Death Valley as Governor on November 8th. WASP kids rioted on the Sunset Strip. Walt Disney turned in his rodent ears on December 15th and asked to be placed on ice, with a wake-up call for better times.
Lyndon's camp blamed the whole mess on a few drug-crazed hippies, but the Establishment got a shock on December 30th as The New York Times published (on page one) an open letter signed by several hundred student body presidents and college newspaper editors protesting the war in Vietnam: "Unless this conflict can be eased, the United States will find some of her most loyal and courageous young people choosing to go to jail rather than to bear their country's arms."
"… And only time will tell which one of us has fell and which one was left behind when you go your way and I'll go mine."

I've been looking forward to this film coming out for ages. Not as long as I've been waiting for Dre to drop that album he's been making for 14 years or however long it is, but it's been a long time coming. And it looks fucking awesome.
It's been 27 years since NWA dropped Stright Outta Compton and changed gangsta rap forever.
Now the movie telling their story is very nearly here.
The official release date is August 14th.

Here is the story of the mighty Atlantic-constantly changing shape and size and always traveling, pulled by tides and moved by storms. The Atlantic Ocean's mystery and depth have always fascinated explorers and fishermen, just as its power and beauty have inspired artists and poets. Reflected in G. Brian Karas's sparkling text and paintings that seem a natural extension of the ocean's narrative, the Atlantic's voice is a celebration of natural wonder.

Govt asked to buy saleyards
A shire in Western Australia's great southern says it is continuing to negotiate with the Minister for Agriculture, Terry Redman, over the future of the region's cattle yards.
The shires of Katanning and Plantagenet, the Pastoralists and Graziers Association, the Western Australian Farmers Federation and the Livestock Transport Association have presented a proposal to Mr Redman which urges the Government to buy the Katanning and Mount Barker saleyards.
Shire of Plantagenet chief executive Rob Stewart says the Great Southern Regional Saleyards would be better placed in state, rather than local government, ownership.
"They do take in a lot of other areas around, going all the way down to Esperance, so similarly for Katanning it doesn't just affect the Shire of Katanning, it affects the whole region," he said.
"Therefore we believe that it's reasonable for them to be a part of the state saleyard strategy."

How Red Hat Became One Of The Best Names In Tech
- Red Hat scored another earnings beat on Monday.
- It rises steadily, falling only briefly during bear markets like the current one.
- Unique for more than open source.
I have a proprietary attitude towards Red Hat (NYSE:RHT). I covered the company for five years. I was a guest at one of their annual conferences in Boston. Their CEO and I are alumni of the same school.
But that can't keep me from appreciating the company, and it won't stop me from recommending it as the stock continues to make a steady rise as the company delivered yet another quarter of earnings beat on Monday.
Source: Redhat stock price data by amigobulls.com
They Sell What You Can Get For Free
Red Hat sells something you can get for free. It's an open source software company. The business is based on Linux, the open source Unix-like operating system first crafted by Linus Torvalds, who has no direct association with the company. It licenses contracts supporting an "enterprise" version, Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Red Hat has also built a big middleware business out of JBOSS, a set of middleware tools acquired nearly a decade ago, which took some years to integrate into the business. But the secret sauce of Red Hat is the cloud, specifically OpenStack, a cloud infrastructure system first sponsored by hosting company Rackspace (NYSE:RAX) and now run by an independent foundation.
Under CEO Jim Whitehurst, who has written a good book called The Open Organization about how he runs the company, Red Hat committed itself to OpenStack, and is among the biggest contributors to it. It offers licensed support for its own version of the software, and offers a platform called OpenShift whose purpose is to bring its other products to OpenStack clouds. In addition to that, Red Hat supports Cloud Foundry, a platform of languages and other tools first offered by VMware (NYSE:VMW), which that company made open source a few years ago.
A Steady Beat of Earnings Beats
Red Hat achieved another beat on earnings in its second quarter report yesterday, with net income of $51.39 million, 47 cents per share, and revenue of $504 million. The revenue number was 13% better than a year ago, and everything else rose by about the same rate. It raised guidance for the rest of the year, and now expects revenue of $2.044 billion, including $519 million during the coming quarter.
In past years Red Hat was seen as a stalking horse for IBM's (NYSE:IBM) ambitions in open source. IBM executives are regular speakers at Red Hat events, and the IBM cloud, acquired through a company called SoftLayer, is run on OpenStack.
The feeling was that, if IBM owned Red Hat, the company's position as an "honest broker" among open source corporate interests might be compromised. Red Hat is now worth $13 billion, and while IBM is worth $144 billion it's unlikely it would win the company without a fight that would make it unaffordable.
They're Based Where?
Red Hat is also unique in that it's based far from Silicon Valley, specifically in Raleigh, NC, where it recently took over a skyscraper that formerly held the area's main electric utility. It also maintains large offices in Boston and in Atlanta, where JBOSS was based, but Whitehurst notes that many of its people telecommute, working from home all around the world.
Red Hat stock seems fully valued with a Price/Earnings multiple of 71 but it had a similar multiple a year ago when the stock was at $60/share and five years ago when it was at $40. It has not yet reached the extreme heights it had during the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s, a peak of $132/share based on its present share count, but since the bottom of that bubble's bursting it is up over 800% and continues to move steadily forward.
Red Hat stock is not a highly volatile stock. Its moves tend to be muted. But the recent correction has taken it down from $80 to its present level of $72, and it's far more likely to return to those heights than not. There's very little to stop it. No other company has succeeded in open source quite like Red Hat, and no other company is likely to.

So I went Christmas shopping at Walmart Sunday afternoon. I like to push myself to do things that leave me insane. It's really fun. Luckily, I was able to go shopping all by myself. Which made me sort of fall in love with Walmart and the people there. 50 shopping carts packed in the Barbie isle? No problem! I'm not here with my kids. Bring it on! The more the merrier. "Hover Rounds" gathering together to chat in the middle of the store, taking up the whole walking path? No problem! Let me go get a motorized cart and I'll join you. I was clearly in the Christmas spirit. Shopping without having to stop and break up a million arguments made me all giddy and wanting to sing All I want for Christmas along with the piped in music of Mariah Carey.
I was standing in the Lalaloopsy isle and this older lady who was a Walmart employee came up to me and said, "Ma'am - you're making me nervous". This is a statement that is hard to figure out. I just looked at her with a semi frozen smile not knowing what the heck I did to her. She then proceeded to say... "You're making me nervous because you are not wearing your purse." I looked down at my shopping cart and sure enough, I was not wearing it. It was in the front baby seat. I felt the strangest urge to apologize. I mean, all of a sudden she was my mom. I sort of stammered a bit and stuttered out a "yeah you are right, I'm not wearing it and should be."
Then she lectured me about how someone could come up and take it, while I was looking at the toys and I would never know. I nodded at her because she is obviously an experienced Walmart employee and knows what she is talking about. I bet that happens a lot at Walmart....people getting robbed.
She then said "If you are going to leave it in your shopping cart, at least buckle it in using the child seat belt. She takes the seat belt and laces it around and through both straps of my purse. I just stand there and watch her. This lady is messing with my purse. She is messing. With my purse. And I watch.
After my purse is all tangled up in the baby seat belt, she made an excuse about this being just "the mom" coming out in her. I was supportive of this and told her thank you and that I appreciate her looking out for me. See...I was able to be all friendly, patient, and sweet, because I was alone. Without kids. And singing along with Mariah. Now, if the same thing happened when I was there with all 4 kids and I was trying to get out of this store alive, I would have probably barked out something along the lines of "Keep your paws off my purse you weirdo!!"
But I didn't have to do that. She thanked me for being so sweet to her and told me a story about one other time she tried to "help" another woman who wasn't wearing her purse either. When she told the other woman that someone could pick it up and be gone before she even knew it - the woman said "Well if that happens it will be MY Problem and NOT yours!"
I immediately was upset over my new Walmart-guardian-friend getting yelled at for just trying to help. What is wrong with people? Oh wait - I bet the woman had her grumpy kids with her.
But regardless, My new Walmart Mom friend did not deserve that. She walked away and smiled at me and said "Thank you for being sweet and you have a Merry Christmas sweetie". I smiled and replied "You have a Merry Christmas, as well."
Now that, my friends, is Christmas Spirit.
Now get your paws off my purse!

Wichita summers can get really hot, and there's no denying that. Splash parks are a fun and free way to beat the heat, or you can make some waves at local pools! If you're looking for a great place to spend an afternoon playing in the water, check out some of these great places around town.
Rock River Rapids
With their giant water slides, diving boards, a rock wall, a lazy river and more, Derby's Rock River Rapids is a perfect pace to spend a summer day, especially a hot one! Twist and turn down the blue slide in a double-tube with a friend, or take a daring plunge down the red speed slide!
Rock River Rapids is located at 1900 E. James, and admission is priced at $8 for children ages 3-17, $9 for adults ages 18- 59, and $8 for ages 60 and over. Children under the age of two are admitted for free.
Old Town Square
Oldtown Square offers a variety of dining and entertainment options, and it's also a great place to have some summer fun on a warm day! In the center of the square, you'll find dancing fountains to splash around in!
It's free and it's fun, so there's no reason not to take advantage and cool down! The fountains typically run from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
If you want to cool off without getting wet, there are plenty of air conditioned shops to duck into, or you can enjoy shaded seating in the square, where and you might just catch one of the many performances by local musicians and street performers.
Waltzing Waters Fountain at the Wichita WaterWalk
The Fountains at Waterwalk are for visual entertainment rather than splashing in. Although this isn't for playing in, it can't be forgotten. Waltzing Waters at the Waterwalk is one of Wichita's coolest water features. While most fountains are pretty to look ay, these put on a whole show, featuring lights and music.
During the summer, the shows run Thursdays through Sundays and begin at noon, 8 p.m., 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. Each show lasts 10 to 15 minutes. Shows are choreographed to a variety of genres of music, including classical, classic rock, country and '80s rock. The fountains are located just east of Gander Mountain at 605 S. Wichita Street.
New Market Square
In the center of New Market Square, in front of Old Navy, you'll find a splash pad with bench seating for those who wish to stay dry, but in the height of the summertime, those fountains could coax almost anyone to come out and play.
The fountains run from approximately 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily during the summer, and are turned off during inclement weather. When it's time for a break from all of your shopping, this is a great place to cool off.
Riverside Park
Riverside Park features a large interactive fountain area that guest are invited to splash around. This is a really popular fountain, but it's a lot of fun! If you're in the Riverside area and looking for a way to beat the heat, you won't find a better way than this. The Fountain is located near the Kansas Wildlife exhibit.
This fountain should be running from 10:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. as it is under Wichita Parks and Recreation.
Buffalo Park
Buffalo Park has recently added a new shelter, and is in the process of installing an interactive fountain. Originally, the official opening for the shelter, new outdoor restrooms and the fountain was scheduled to take place before Memorial Day weekend, but inclement weather slowed the construction process. It's getting close, though, and should be open before too much longer.
Buffalo Park is located at 10201 Hardtner Road, off of Maize near 21st Street.
Fairmount Park
Fairmount Park is locates at 1647 N. Yale, near 17th and Hillside. The splash park at Fairmount is pretty big. This is a great summer fun option for those in the Fairmount area, and it's totally free.
Since Fairmount is operated by Wichita Parks and Recreation, its fountains should run from 10:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m.
Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park is located at 1323 S. Topeka, near the intersection of Lincoln and Broadway. These fountains were uncrowded. Lincoln Park features a covered pavilion and shaded areas.
As a City of Wichita park, the fountains should be running from 10:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m.
Osage Park
The splash park at Osage park is large and very popular. Osage Park is located at 2121 W. 31st Street South, near the intersection of 31st and Meridian.
These fountains also typically operate from 10:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. This is a great place for south-siders to play, and it doesn't cost a dime!
Wichita Public Pools
Wichita currently has 10 city pools for citizens to enjoy, but this may soon change as a result of a recent City of Wichita aquatics master plan proposal, which could convert some of these pools into more splash parks with child friendly features, and one pool will be converted into a launch site into the Arkansas River. These changes will require the closure of pools, some permanent, others temporary. This summer, take advantage of Wichita's pools before construction begins. The proposed changes are as follows:
- Aley Park – Closes for renovation in 2021; new facility to open in 2022
- Boston Park – Pool closes permanently in 2019, water playground to open in 2020
- Edgemoor Park – Closes for renovation in 2019; new facility to open in 2020
- Evergreen Park – Closes for renovation in 2020, new facility to open in 2021
- Linwood Park – Pool closes permanently in 2022, water playground to open in 2023
- McAdams Park – Closes for renovation in 2019, water playground to open in 2020
- Minisa Park – Permanently closed in 2021, will reopen as river launch site
- Orchard Park – Closes for renovation in 2022, water playground to open in 2023.

text: I need a little input here. I'm going to be adding some stamps to tux paint. I'm referring to this documentation Mac OS X Tux Paint stores its data files inside the "Tux Paint" icon (which is actually a special kind of folder on Mac OS X). The following steps explain how to get to the folders within: 1. Bring up a 'context' menu by holding the [Control] key and clicking the Tux Paint icon the in Finder. (If you have a mouse with more than one button, you can simply right-click the icon.) 2. Select "Show Contents" from the menu that appears. A new Finder window will appear with a folder inside called "Contents." 3. Open the "Contents" folder and open the "Resources" folder found inside. 4. There, you will find the "starters", "stamps" and "brushes" folders. Adding new content to these folders will make the content available to any user that launches this copy (icon) of Tux Paint. Note: If you install a newer version of Tux Paint (by replacing its icon), you will lose changes made by following the instructions above, so keep backups of your new content (stamps, brushes, etc.). Tux Paint also looks for files in a "TuxPaint" folder that you can place in your system's "Application Support" folder (found under "Library" at the root of your hard disk): /Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/ It also looks for files in the user's "Preferences" folder, e.g.: /Users/(user name)/Library/Preferences/TuxPaint/brushes/ ******************************************************* Personal Files You can also create brushes, stamps, fonts and 'starters' in your own directory (folder) for Tux Paint to find. Windows Your personal Tux Paint folder is stored in your "Application Data". For example, on newer Windows (set up for an English-speaking user): C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Application Data\TuxPaint\ Mac OS X Your personal Tux Paint folder is stored in your "Library" folder: /Users/(user name)/Library/Application Support/ Tux Paint/ Does this mean if I put the stamps in the Personal Files folder, they won't be overwritten when I reinstall or upgrade? I'm running on both win and mac so am curious to know if this will save me the trouble of reinstalling all the stamps I d/l. Thanks

The ice skating bag that may help you
Февраль 2016
You can find countless numerous sports around the world which are well-liked and well liked. Surely, we follow just about the most notable twenty but there are also some local sports activities that shouldn't be ignored. Those that lived their lives in southern location can't understand the miracle of the skateboarding activities and sports activities. Hockey is going to be eternally secured to them unless of course they have a specific pavilion that keeps the ice cubes. This is a huge pity because there would certainly be some avid skateboarding fans one of the local populace. Producing skateboarding popular during these regions need a particular effort and big investments.
Nevertheless, if you are fortunate enough to have an ice skating arena alongside your home then you need to try it out without a doubt. Many claim that it is very much like roller blading. To start with, you'll know how the chaffing involving the ice as well as the edge is much less than the steering wheel and the asphalt - you glide much faster on ice compared to the road. You'll also require a ice skating bag to prevent yourself from the blades of the skates if not engaged in encounter. This modifications the perspective of skating in comparison to the roller sporting activities.
In any case, if you like expending period on the roller skates you will surely enjoy ice skating a lot more. When you're on glaciers you possess an elevated speed and ability to move in comparison to whatever else. It is recommended that you don't hire your own skates however you acquire a pair to fit your legs perfectly. It's the same as with the actual roller cutting blades. Only then you'll be able to fully appreciate the activity. Additionally it is recommended to get a ice skating bag that may fit your skates perfect.
There are lots of ways to get the skates and also the bags on the world wide web these days. It is even less expensive to acquire them on the web in comparison to the actual retailers. You might have up to 2 hundred US dollars if you purchase them on the web within a selling. There could be even times when you can get the ice skating bag at no cost as a reward. SkatingBag is the ideal site to check out such opportunities during the christmas season and the Black Friday time period. Don't skip your chance to save lots of money!

Demolition Begins On Former UPMC Braddock Hospital
Updated:PITTSBURGH,None - Demolition began Thursday on the former UPMC Braddock Hospital. Crews began tearing down the back of the hospital along Holland Avenue.
Protesters were present at the site of the hospital, vowing to continue their fight to save the building. Many of the protesters said they are furious over the fact that no one gave the building a chance to be reused.
"$30,000 raised in a grant was to be used to do a study on the building to see how it could be used. Onorato and Logan said, 'We don't have time. We're gonna lose money. We don't have time to take one month for the study.' And what happens? Six, seven months have passed and no study has ever been done," said Tony Buba.
Budget cuts forced UPMC to close its Braddock location in January.

US faces mosquito-borne West Nile virus outbreak, as cases climb 60pc
The number of West Nile virus infections in the United States has jumped more than 60 per cent in the past week in what officials say is one of the country's biggest-ever outbreaks of the disease.
The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Wednesday that 1,118 cases and 41 deaths had been reported so far this year, up from less than 700 cases and 26 deaths a week ago.
That is the highest number of West Nile virus infections reported through the third week of August since the virus was first detected in the US in 1999. The worst US outbreak occurred in 2003, with 9,862 cases and 264 deaths that year.
"We're in the midst of one of the largest West Nile virus outbreaks ever seen in the United States," said Dr Lyle Petersen, head of the CDC's vector-borne infectious diseases unit.
Federal officials are stumped by the severity of the outbreak. Cases usually flare up in the summer because the illness is most often transmitted from infected birds to people by mosquitoes.
Victims may suffer from fever and aches that can become severe or even cause death, especially in the elderly and children. There is no specific treatment for the infection, and many people stricken do not see a doctor, meaning that cases are probably underreported.
More than half of this year's cases are in Texas, but the disease has now been detected in 47 states. Thirty-eight states have reported cases in humans, with only Alaska, Hawaii and Vermont reporting no cases.

England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup has, thus far, been a tale of two stories so seemingly unconnected to each other it is not surprising that when discussing the campaign Lord Triesman, chairman of the FA and the bid, becomes almost possessed of two distinct personalities.
First – and hugely the most important, he repeatedly emphasises – is the matter at hand, the campaign itself, to hold the World Cup in England. Talking about that, he relaxes, glows with enthusiasm, about how much a tournament here will mean to the country, what it can do for football, here and around the globe. He leads you then to forget the boardroom cartography which has so dominated coverage of the bid, and contemplate instead the scale of the prize; recall that England's last World Cup, 1966 and all that, delivered probably the greatest ever moment in our national sporting consciousness.
"I'm more and more convinced we have a good chance of winning," he says, communicating some conviction. "As we go round the world meeting the people who have the Fifa votes, they are giving us the kind of detailed attention which leads me to think they are interested in what a World Cup in England can achieve. I do believe everybody here should rally round the effort now."
That is Triesman's way of seeking to move beyond the other bid story: the relentless, overblown criticism about who should have been on the original board, culminating in last week's resignation by the Premier League chairman, Sir David Richards. Coming just days before the bid team flew to South Africa for this week's crucial Fifa beauty parade at the 2010 World Cup draw, that act seemed like unbelievably poor timing, even by the Lilliputian standards of too much of our football politics. Discussing all that, Triesman mostly defends his decisions with his characteristic calm, patient delivery, but he perceptibly tenses up, revealing frustration, exasperation even, at being dragged into so much minutiae.
"Of course I accept that people should criticise in areas which deserve it," he acknowledges, "but I would hope people would have a sense of proportion. We would have preferred Dave to remain on the board, of course. But I have to take his resignation letter [in which Richards said he could be more use off the board than on it] at face value. Dave, and the Premier League, have said they are very supportive of the bid and that is what I take their position to be."
In that sentiment, Triesman is genuine. He recognises that the league's global popularity is a major asset, and Richards has relationships with some of the Fifa executive committee ("exco") members which can be valuable. There are 24 exco members, each – apart from Fifa's president, Sepp Blatter – representing a nation, or Fifa confederation – a continent, broadly speaking. A bare majority, 13 of 24 votes, is required to decide the World Cup's ultimate venue, yet of the 24, eight directly represent bidding countries: Korea, Spain, Belgium, Qatar (now bidding only for 2022), the USA, Japan and Russia – and England, in the shape of the former FA chairman Geoff Thompson.
All those delegates must be expected to vote for their own countries, which narrows the number up for grabs. Triesman explains that campaigning is a matter of persuading those exco members individually of the merits of an England World Cup, and he has met all but one of the exco members formally already, to press the case.
The bid team, led by Triesman and the chief executive, the former Manchester United commercial director Andy Anson, have been accused of not running a sufficiently energetic campaign under the bombardment of media attack, but they have, in fact, a clear message, based on asserting three qualities for an England tournament.
"We tell them first about the passion we have for football in our country," Triesman says. "I think the world understands that; the game is in our DNA. Second, we can promise an outstanding technical bid, in terms of stadiums, transport infrastructure, accommodation, fan parks and tourism opportunities, which will exceed Fifa's requirements."
Triesman and Anson are also, crucially, making the case that a World Cup in England will deliver huge TV, sponsorship and commercial revenues, a portion of which is redistributed to the Fifa federations. Fifa now keeps all income from a World Cup, including from ticket sales; the host stadiums receive a rent of 10-15%, and the host nation's FA is paid a dividend. Germany's FA was paid €150m (£137m) for its hosting of the 2006 tournament, and the way England commits to spending its own bonanza forms the vital third plank of the FA's campaign.
"Very distinctively, we can commit to leave a legacy of football development around the world," Triesman says. "The FA has been doing international work for 10 years in poorer countries, looking always to build capacity: to help the countries themselves coach children and produce their own coaches, referees, even turf technology. A huge part of this bid is to use the resources we generate to expand that work."
The FA chairman is keenly aware of the potential pitfalls, in a process which will be scrutinised microscopically for improper practices as the countries fight for a tournament worth, according to Triesman's Treasury-approved calculations, £3.2bn in extra tourism income. England's bid, he insists, will be wholly clean.
"We will do a huge amount of work," he promises, "and it will be proper and above board. I don't think that's naivety, I think that is the way we have to do it."
An example, which also explains how Richards can make his positive contribution, came in the Ivory Coast, where Jacques Anouma, an exco member, made it clear he would appreciate help with establishing football league infrastructure. Richards and Maurice Watkins, a lawyer who represents the Premier League, flew in and ran workshops with Anouma and several clubs, providing experience to be shared across French-speaking west Africa, not restricted to Anouma's Ivory Coast. In meetings with representatives of all the developing nations, the bid team will be asking what England can do for football in Africa, Asia, Latin and South America, and seeking to demonstrate how a World Cup here will help.
Triesman says England's representatives have been well received everywhere, and speaking of some of those meetings, he does brim with enthusiasm.
"The people from the federations are steeped in football and its history, and there is tremendous warmth," he says. "In Latin America they will readily tell us about Englishmen arriving in their countries with a ball [in the late 19th century] and introducing the game there. They'll even start getting grainy pictures out. In many places they don't say 'the English FA'; they refer to us just as 'the FA'.
"I'm very determined to see this through successfully," he says. "We have come through some very choppy waters, but I am sure we have the right qualities, and people, to secure the votes we need, to bring the World Cup to England."

I mean no offense, only for you to see what I honestly see and think. There's no point in commenting if you're not being honest. It matters to me not, if you actually learn to use "your" and "you're". Have a good day. :) Some T.S.

No. 1 seed Pittsburgh (30-4) faces the No. 4 Musketeers (27-7), coached by former Panthers point guard Sean Miller, in the Sweet Sixteen today at 7:27 p.m. at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, Mass.
"I remember going to (former Pitt player) Darelle Porter's house and watching Pitt play Georgetown with Sean Miller as a point guard,'' Pitt sophomore center DeJuan Blair said. "It's funny, now, that we're playing the team he coaches.
"That's really interesting. (Xavier) has some athleticism, and they definitely have some length. They're a good team, and Sean's a good coach. It should be a fun matchup for us. We like to hold people under 40 percent, just like them.
"So, there's a lot of similarities. We had two tough games, and hopefully this'll be another good one. We're very focused, and I believe the sky's the limit for this team. I'm going to do whatever I can to make sure we live up to that.''
Miller, a 1992 Pitt grad, has a talented group in his fifth season that secured a third straight Atlantic 10 Conference regular-season title. The leading scorer is 6-foot-6 senior guard B.J. Raymond with 14.1 points per game. And 6-8 junior forward Derrick Brown is at 13.7 points and six rebounds per contest.
The other guard is 6-5 sophomore Dante Jackson (6.6 points per game), while 6-6 senior C.J. Anderson (10 points, 5.4 rebounds per game) and 6-9 junior center Jason Love (6.9, 5.9) round out the starting lineup.
"Xavier, I think we both play the same way on defense, a tough, physical game,'' Pitt senior point guard Levance Fields said. "But I think we can score a little bit more than them. We'll try to score in our transition game and pound the ball down to DeJuan and Sam when we get in our half-court (game).
"(But) they definitely have athletic guards, and they height to go with that athleticism. Also, they try to control the game with their offense, something they've been able to do in their league, and they play good defense. So, we have to make sure that we control the game, and mostly that job falls on me.''
Pitt didn't game-plan specifically for Xavier before it left for Boston, as a college basketball fan Fields was able to give his own scouting report.
"(Freshman Terrell) Holloway is a quick guard, and he can shoot,'' Fields said. "And he plays pretty well once you give him some confidence. And (sophomore Dante) Jackson, he's 6-5, long, but it seems like he needs time to shoot.
"So, we'll need to pressure him. He's not really a point guard. He's more of a shooting guard playing the point for them, so we'll try to force his hand.''
Fields' junior backcourt mate Jermaine Dixon is glad he transferred to Pitt from a junior college, knowing that the Panthers were his best chance for a long NCAA Tournament run, and he agreed with Fields' assessment.
"We definitely need to pressure their guards, but their best scorers seem to be on the wings,'' Jermaine Dixon said. "We need to make them work to get their buckets. They try to run their offense out to the wings, so if we can slow them down and make them work real hard we should be good.''
"Everybody's focused, especially Levance, Biggs and Sam, they've been here a long time and want to go farther than any other team,'' Dixon said. "We all definitely feel that this is the year that we can get to the Final Four, but we won't stop there. That's what we want to do and plan to do.''
Xavier, in its fourth straight NCAA Tournament, struggled a bit going into this year's event with a 1-2 record and early exit from the A-10s, but it shouldn't deter the Musketeers. They limped into the NCAA event two years ago, but made a stunning run into the Elite Eight. This is Xavier's fourth Sweet Sixteen and second straight, and the Musketeers also made the Elite Eight in 2004.
"They play a lot of guys, and they're very balanced,'' Jamie Dixon said. "They play tough defense, just like we do, and they work hard. (And) it really doesn't matter who's coached there, it's a real good basketball program.
"And Sean has continued that success. They have some depth, and they like to use transfers. They sit out a year, but then they always have guys waiting.''
And this year, Xavier is waiting for Pitt.

I fish from a canoe and usually on a deep lake which at times the depth varies considerably. i also fish in the river below the lake and i use a trolling motor on my canoe and not wanting to hit objects in the river i bought this model and am very happy with it. it's functions are simple and basic and gives the info i want and more. i'm including a picture that shows water temp, depth and shows the outline of the river bank and bottom and shows a fish at it's depth...all while the motor was being operated and the boat moving. after buying it though i was confronted with where to mount the transducer on a canoe, luckily i found the Humminbird 7400871 AD XTM 9 Trolling Motor Adapter which mounts it on the foot of the trolling motor in seconds. i am very pleased with this purchase.
Using in Ocean City,Md area and does everything it is supposed to do...I didn't know it has water temp.
Easy to install, works as advertised. What more could you ask? I'm using it for near shore saltwater fishing.
I have bought 4 or 5 of these humminbird fishfinders and they all have stopped working for one reason or another. I installed them on my boat which is kept in a boat lift on the Santa Rosa Sound. The salt air is hard on the conections and the last one lasted just over a year. I think the humminbird line is about as good as any of the others in this price range.
