Landownership in the Reconstruction South
After Emancipation, formerly enslaved African Americans sought to forge lives for themselves and their families, to determine the meanings of freedom on their own terms. One of the first orders of business was to reunite family members who had been sold or lost during slavery. Another primary goal was to become self-sufficient. Without compensation from the people who previously owned them, the 4 million newly emancipated African American men, women, and children faced immediate challenges to their liberty and autonomy.
In the face of increased hostility, violence, and terrorism and with few or no material resources, African Americans demonstrated courage, creativity, and resilience as they eked out a living subsisting on the land, often "sharecropping," or subcontracting their labor to their former masters. Some set out to find family, or to relocate away from the places where they had been enslaved, while others sought to maintain the communities they established on plantations and estates. Many of those who stayed behind remained tied to the agrarian economy.
Landownership represented economic freedom from slavery's bondage and the servitude of sharecropping or tenant farming. As landowners, these families hoped to ensure that their financial success depended only on their personal skills and tenacity; they were willing to contend with the vagaries of farming conditions in order to realize their own independence. This took a great deal of effort: many families found it too onerous and expensive to obtain the farm tools, implements, seeds, and rations to cultivate and maintain the land successfully.
While the federal government never fulfilled General Sherman's promise of "forty acres and a mule," some newly freed people acquired land through congressional acts like the Southern Homestead Act of 1866. In a major land redistribution scheme, the government opened 46 million acres in Florida, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana to settlement and specified that the applicants could not be discriminated against on the basis of color. Freedpeople saw this as an opportunity to claim property and their rights; in so doing, they hoped that they could control their own land and their own labor.
Through its 10 year history, under the Southern Homestead Act, 67,600 entries were made for land; of these 28,000 were patented. Scholars estimate that 20-25% of those homesteaders who were successful in obtaining title to their property were freedpeople.
Whoopi Goldberg's
ancestors William and Elsie Washington acquired property in northern Florida in 1873 using provisions of this law. In Florida, the government set aside 19 million acres of land, by far, the largest amount in any of the states. However, 11 million acres had not been surveyed, rendering in unavailable for homesteading; the remaining 8 million acres was poor in quality. Making the process even more difficult, it was not enough simply to pay the $5 filing fee, to register and receive the parcels of property. The act required homesteaders to settle the land and to make several improvements -- including building a dwelling, enclosing the land, and planting a crop within five years of obtaining the parcel -- before they could receive the title.

There is the red one, who doesn't like the black one ...
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
We've got a new Think Again column here called "War on the Press, Part III: Inventing the News for Fun and Profit ..." (This column is part three in a series on the legacy of the Bush administration's war on the press. Parts I and II can be found here and here, respectively.)
Takes one to not know one: Mindless multiculturalism, care of ABC News, from the The Note: "More on diversity, per ABC's Jake Tapper: "As of now . . . Mr. Obama has not appointed any Asian-Americans, Native Americans, disabled Americans or openly gay or lesbian Americans to his Cabinet. And yes, there are groups paying attention."
'Scuze me, guys ... of ABC's top million-dollar babies -- Gibson, Stephanopoulos, Walters, Sawyer, Tapper, Will, etc. -- how many are "Asian-Americans, Native Americans, disabled Americans or openly gay or lesbian Americans?"
George Zornick writes: Ezra Klein raises a good point, here, where he notes that we always hear about the evils of the Canadian or British health care systems, but not so much France, Germany, Japan, etc. -- even though the United States is much more likely to get a universal health care scheme similar to the latter group, and not so much the former, where private insurance is almost completely banned.
I ran a little test, and indeed -- on Fox News, chief conduit of scare-mongering in this field, the words "health care" are mentioned within five words of "Canada" six times more often than they are mentioned within five words of "France."
It's true that Canada is closer and perhaps a more comfortable parallel for Americans to grasp, but come on -- we're talking France here. Old Europe! Cheese-eating surrender monkeys! That seems too ripe for Fox News to pass up.
Here are some inconvenient facts about the French health care system, that perhaps right-wingers are inclined to ignore: it's ranked number one in World Health Organization's analysis of world health systems (the UK is 18, Canada is 30, the U.S. is 37). France also manages to have the number-one ranked health system while spending less per capita on health care than Canada, and certainly less than the United States, according to the OECD.
And, as noted, the public-private mix in France is much more similar to what's being proposed in the United States, where the elimination of the private insurance industry is quite unlikely.
So what's the problem, Fox? I know you can't be tired of Francophobia ...
Howard Kurtz weighs in on David Gregory's looming gig as host of Meet the Press. He goes much further than Mike Allen was willing to yesterday in glorifying Gregory's days as White House correspondent, writing:
Gregory clearly has the requisite journalistic experience and is accustomed to verbal sparring. As a White House reporter, he frequently clashed with President Bush's spokesmen and became a constant target for conservatives who viewed his aggressive style as partisanship. After Vice President Cheney accidentally shot a hunting companion, Gregory scolded press secretary Scott McClellan: "Don't tell me you're giving us complete answers when you're not actually answering the question." On another occasion, Gregory said: "Don't be a jerk to me personally when I'm asking you a serious question." Gregory later apologized to McClellan.
Kurtz seems to be on the same page as his paper's ombudsman, Deborah Howell, in that both believe conservative complaints are actually genuine, and may indicate "partisanship" or even aggressiveness on behalf of the target -- even though Gregory rarely displays either. Look at Kurtz's cited example, where Gregory told McClellan "Don't tell me you're giving us complete answers when you're not actually answering the question." Well, that surely left a mark ...
Kurtz also writes that "Skeptics say that Gregory has a less than commanding screen presence as a host, leading them to question whether he could sustain viewer interest in the hour-long Sunday program." Which leads CJR to ask: "Who are these 'skeptics' who doubt Gregory's 'screen presence?' And, is it also these 'skeptics' who think 'he might need a bit more showmanship' or is that Kurtz speaking for himself?"
After all, they note, we know him to be quite a showman, in fact ...
Here is the MSM's apparent checklist in finding an analyst to talk about Susan Rice's appointment as U.N. ambassador.
The analyst must:
- Have been U.N. ambassador once before.
- Believe "there is no such thing as the United Nations" and if the U.N. building in New York "lost ten stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
- Be disliked by the president who nominated him, not to mention virtually everyone else at the United Nations.
- Be well outside the American and international foreign policy mainstream, and must have repeatedly called for war with Iran.
This, as Think Progress notes, has of course led the MSM to John Bolton, who has repeatedly been asked his opinion about Rice's nomination. (Surprisingly, he said he disapproves, because it shouldn't even be a Cabinet position).
The day in Politico headlines:
"Latinos unhappy with Obama picks"
"Holder pardon makes Dems squirm"
Now read each of those stories, and tell us how they got to those headlines ...
(Politico has since changed the latter headline to "GOP hopes Holder makes Dems squirm.")
Quote of the Day: Robert Novak, on if he would disclose Valerie Plame's identity again: "I'd go full speed ahead because of the hateful and beastly way in which my left-wing critics in the press and Congress tried to make a political affair out of it and tried to ruin me. My response now is this: The hell with you. They didn't ruin me. I have my faith, my family, and a good life. A lot of people love me -- or like me. So they failed. I would do the same thing over again because I don't think I hurt Valerie Plame whatsoever."
Death by gouging, part two: CJR reports that CNN "will cut its entire science, technology, and environment news staff, including Miles O'Brien, its chief technology and environment correspondent, as well as six executive producers."
We know this can't be because of decreased relevance, since debates over global warming and U.S. energy policy figure to be center stage in the coming months and years. So it must be financial, then? But the story says: "A source at the network, who asked not to be named, said the move is a strategic and structural business decision to cut staff, unrelated to the current economic downturn. Financially, 'CNN is doing very, very well,' the source said."
"If there is an exact location marking the West's failures in Afghanistan," begins reporter Anand Gopal, "it is the modest police checkpoint that sits on the main highway 20 minutes south of Kabul. The post signals the edge of the capital, a city of spectacular tension, blast walls, and standstill traffic. Beyond this point, Kabul's gritty, low-slung buildings and narrow streets give way to a vast plain of serene farmland hemmed in by sandy mountains. In this valley in Logar province, the American-backed government of Afghanistan no longer exists.
"Instead of government officials, men in muddied black turbans with assault rifles slung over their shoulders patrol the highway, checking for thieves and 'spies.' The charred carcass of a tanker, meant to deliver fuel to international forces further south, sits belly up on the roadside."
This is the territory of "the Taliban," which Gopal, a reporter for the Christian Science Monitor and now a TomDispatch regular, has visited -- and the rest of the piece is a vivid deciphering of just who "the Taliban" really are. Gopal offers a striking analysis of the new (more nationalist) Taliban, a decentralized "slippery movement that morphs from district to district" and of the "other" even more extreme movements, Hizb-i-Islami and the insurgent network of Jalaluddin Haqqani that fight beside it, as well as the quite separate and equally fractious "Pakistani Taliban" across the border.
If you can't follow a ball game without a scorecard, then you can't follow a war that may, soon enough, become "Obama's war" without the equivalent -- and that's just what Gopal offers in a report on, as he puts it, "a world of endless war" in which "support goes to those who can bring security" -- and in Afghanistan today, that's not the U.S. military.
As one of the most progressive voices in the Senate who also campaigned for President-elect Obama, what does Russ Feingold (D-WI) expect of the next four years? Bill Moyers sits down with the Wisconsin senator to find out his perspectives on progressivism and its role in the new administration, and to ask him what changes he'd like to see in the Obama presidency. Then, Bill Moyers will sit down with Mark Johnson, co-director of the film Playing For Change: Peace Through Music and chairman of the board of the Playing for Change Foundation, which he started to provide resources to musicians and their communities around the world.
Alter-reviews: Wayne Shorter and Hot Tuna, live, by Eric
Wayne Shorter will not be 75 for a few months, but that was the excuse being given for his show Tuesday night with Imani Winds, an exquisite classical wind quintet. Few living musicians can claim the influence over a period of five decades that Shorter can, and he was part of some of the most innovative moments in jazz and fusion history. Whether working with Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, or Carlos Santana, the man can only make good, sometimes great music. It can be demanding however, and sorry to say, much of Tuesday night's performance -- which veered both into free jazz and classical territory -- went over my head. Shorter's quartet, which is now in its eighth year and features pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci, drummer Brian Blade and Shorter on tenor and soprano sax, has been on a creative tear of late with a series of much acclaimed albums and highly anticipated shows. On Tuesday night at Carnegie Hall, following a couple of numbers by Imani Winds, one a Brazilian classical piece on Shorter's "Terra Incognita," the quartet came out and played one long improvisational number that went on for about 45 minutes, though a song list I saw later had a few different numbers down in it. Again, I could have used some guidance, with song titles, when written, recorded, etc, but that's perhaps because I try to approach my music as much as a historian as a fan. The highlight of the show for me came when the two groups played together on "Three Marias," "Prometheus Unbound" and "Pegasus." Again, a decidedly demanding but no less rewarding evening. You can listen to Shorter's music here.
I'd be lying if I tried to argue that Wednesday night's Hot Tuna concert at Town Hall could be profitably compared to Shorter. Sure, Messrs. Cassidy and Kaukonen are as virtuosic in their own way as Shorter. But the music is not nearly so demanding, nor so creative. It can be great in its own way, but it is not as intellectually compelling, to be honest; the audience is inevitably filled with screaming jerks whose greatest ambition is to scream "Jorma" or "Hot Fucking Tuna" over and over into your ear while spilling beer on your seat.
Tuesday night, which celebrated 50 years of Jack and Jorma, was fine. The band was electric, which I prefer to acoustic. The song selection was OK, and Jorma and Barry did some nice picking off of one another. But nothing inspired Jorma or Jack the way G.E. Smith's presence in the band did last year at the Beacon. And the music fell much more heavily on the power trio, "Rock Me, Baby" period of the band, than the beautiful "Genesis" side. (The highlight in this respect was an "American Beauty" Pigpen cover off of Jorma's forthcoming solo record on Red House Records.) So again, Hot Tuna is the second most dependable brand in jam bands, behind only the mighty, mighty Allman Brothers Band (and perhaps Ratdog and Phil, now that I think about it). And they have moments of greatness even on a so-so night, which is more than worth it, so long as the guy with the beer misses you. But they can also be both loud and underwhelming. Last night they were all of these things, and louder. The band's website is here.
Sal hearts "Spectacle":
The opening minutes of Spectacle, Elvis Costello's new adventure in entertainment which debuted on the Sundance Channel last night, captured the host, most of his band The Impostors, Allen Toussaint and legendary guitarist James Burton, launching into first guest Elton John's "Border Song." My first thought was, "Who was it I promised I'd stop eating meat the day Elvis Costello hosted his own talk show and his first guests were Allen Toussaint, James Burton and Elton John? Oh, and they would have to sing 'Border Song.' " Thankfully, I couldn't remember, so I made a burger and continued watching this unreal, impossible miracle of a TV show.
A dream come true for oft-maligned record-collecting, music-lusting fans, Spectacle was 60 minutes of solid, music snobbery at its very best. And it was the greatest thing I have ever seen. Watching Sir Elton John gushing over Leon Russell and Laura Nyro, while host Elvis Costello dangled the occasional carrot, was everything I had hoped Spectacle would be. Passion dripped off my Sony Bravia, as two real musicians waxed nostalgic about real musicians, with no sign of ever being sabotaged by some trigger-happy viewers with access to a voting machine.
Elton's moving story about Martha Reeves having to borrow money to pick up her dry cleaning on her first tour of London, followed by Costello's insightful commentary on the sad life of brilliant songwriter David Ackles, made me think, for at least this fleeting hour, that someone out there still loves and respects music. I was in such a euphoric state, I agreed to go swimming with the Polar Bears at Coney Island on New Year's Day ONLY if Elton, Elvis, and that same band of legends closed the show with a gut-wrenching version of Ackles' heartbreaker "Down River." Well, guess what? And if that's not enough, the 20 second teaser over the closing credits of Elvis singing Elton's "Ballad Of A Well-Known Gun" was enough to torture a well-known neurotic like me. I need the whole song.
Bravo to the producers and to Elvis, for making this show possible. It's only week one, but whatta week one. I'm sorry I didn't have the opportunity to witness these tapings in person.

Dear Eric,
Within hours of your reference to my post at Romenesko I received the following e-mails:
Anonymous via Panta Rhei
In Treblinka, there were privileged prisoners called kapos, whose duty it was to escort other prisoners to the gas chambers.
After a kapo had done his deadly work, the guards often rewarded him in some fashion--they gave him an extra ration of bread, or soup; a usable piece of underwear, a sliver of soap.
But when the guards grew irritated with a kapo--and sooner or later, they always did--a team would lash the kapo to the ground,face up, and prop open his mouth with two sticks, one vertical, one horizontal.
At the same time, another team of guards would inject enemas into a dozen prisoners.
And when the moment came, when the dozen prisoners could no longer contain themselves, the guards would have the twelve squat over the open mouth of the thirteenth.
You are a kapo; so that is what I wish for you: that a dozen prisoners shit in your mouth till you choke, and that your parents, and your children and your brothers and sisters lick up the excess shit.
[Second email removed at Goldfarb's request after the author apologized.]
I don't blame you for the first e-mail. You probably get worse.
I am not the author of the words quoted in the second. I'm the Michael Goldfarb who spent twenty years working in public radio, not the one who writes for the Weekly Standard and worked for the McCain campaign.
I am, however the author of the post at Romenesko. I was actually posing, in a lighthearted fashion, a genuine question. As someone who was forcibly retired from the full time practice of journalism ... real journalism, not my younger doppelganger's idea of journalism ... I do wonder why the leading practitioners of academic journalism (you and Jay are among them) aren't more active on the solidarity front with the thousands and thousands of hacks who have been thrown out of work. Or write in public more frequently about the importance of institutional heft behind a reporter (something Simon touches on in The Wire).
Institutions of the MSM have become complacent. Altercation is a daily assault on that complacency. But you can't practice journalism without them.
Eric replies: Happy to clear up the misimpression yesterday's post created. I did, I believe, allow for the possibility of multiple Michael Goldfarbs and though this an opportunity to remind the world of the handiwork of one of the others.

My hometown paper, the Boston Globe, has replaced most of pages 2 and 3 with one large photo and a bunch of "Daily Briefings," culled mainly from AP, but also from other papers. (The LA Times seems to be a fave.) This is where the news used to appear. This is sad, tragic, and, in my opinion, stupid. Is this supposed to attract the "internet generation"' who have already read all those bloggy bits on the computer the day before? They've also gotten rid of their ombudsman.

Maybe the reason David Gregory is the leading candidate for the Meet the Press job is precisely because he DIDN'T raise so much sand while covering the run-up to the war. In re-listening to the comments of Jessica Yellin, Brian Williams and Katie Couric about McClellan's book, it is clear that network honchos were trying to keep a lid on controversial coverage of bush during that period. Gregory may be considered a more reliable guy to have on point by NBC.

Michael Goodwin's column was good as far as it went. But he didn't mention Bush's blatant lie, yet again, claiming Saddam had refused to let the U.N. inspectors in:
GIBSON: If the intelligence had been right, would there have been an Iraq war?
BUSH: Yes, because Saddam Hussein was unwilling to let the inspectors go in to determine whether or not the U.N. resolutions were being upheld.
Bush has been repeating this for years and it's a lie. Charlie Gibson should have called him on it and so should have Goodwin. The inspectors were in Iraq and were not finding the alleged weapons of mass destruction. They left because Bush warned them to get out. Down the memory hole, huh?
I'll take Lousy Journalistic Habits for $500, Alex!
What major daily uses an anonymous source who then cites another anonymous source within the "American intelligence agencies" who claims that former Pakistani military and intelligence "officers" trained the Mumbai attackers?
What is The New York Times?
That's right. This anonymous-palloza happens in the lead paragraph, so you know the two writers thought it was pretty hot stuff. However, if you read the article, the information is not important enough to rely on one, let alone two anonymous sources at this time. Didn't these guys learn anything from being suckered by Judith Miller?

To begin with a few well deserved accolades, here the heartland, NPR is a blessing -- as dramatic a blast of fresh air as that first deep breath you take after you've finally driven out of the range of a feedlot along the road. (How's that for an analogy sure to reaffirm coastal prejudices against us flyover types?). Compared to the mindless blaring of our local Clear Channel stations and the even more mindless blaring of Rush Limbaugh on talk radio, public broadcasting is a delight.
Still -- and I believe you've talked about this before -- when it comes to economic issues, I have the clear sense that NPR has a noticeable right wing bias. Sure, they occasionally offer airtime to left leaning commentators -- Robert Reich comes to mind -- but blowhards from conservative think tanks seem, to me, to get more prominent play. And even aside from commentary, NPR's news reporting on economic issues, while generally excellent, also strikes me as having a definite pro-free market (whatever that means anymore) bent.

So again with the stories about bailing out (or not) the Big 3, including one by filmmaker Michael Moore, another by Robert Weissman and another by Paul Krugman and lots more in the MSM.
Though Moore (sort of) points out a solution (the government buying GM for market value, $3 billion right now), Weissman and Krugman more immediately address the real issues at hand. Krugman notes, "...I just find the thought of a major auto failure in the middle of an economic nosedive terrifying," while noting a Big 3 meltdown would mean the loss of 1 to 3 million jobs (not to mention all the jobs, services, mortgages, tuition, stuff those jobs support).
But Weissman really hits it on the head. Along with underscoring the decimation the loss would have on the Midwest, which has already weathered tremendous losses due to deindustrialization, he points out something I've yet to read elsewhere: We're bandying about billions and billions to Wall Street like chump change, and balking over bailing out employers responsible for millions of jobs, countless retirees, and entire communities.
Weissman's suggestion in part is nationalizing the manufacturers, or at a minimum, government oversight for any investment over $25 million. Are these the answers? Weissman himself notes they may or may not be while asking that additional discussion of all these multi-layered issues take place (don't hold your breath. The pieces I've read today make much about top brass traveling to Congress in hybrids and taking pay cuts, which are symbolically nice, but do nothing to address the giant iceberg that lies just below the surface).
My thought would be that this may well be a way for Obama to leverage national healthcare, as one sure way of lowering costs and making Detroit more competitive as we move quickly into well-made, energy efficient cars is by lowering healthcare costs for current employees while finding a ready mechanism for managing the many needs of those that have already retired (like my dad). If Krugman's estimate is right (between 1-3 million employees, and let's for grins say a few hundred thousand retirees), it's a huge "group" to start with that could (it seems) become a model for others that would follow.
BTW, the Glen Campbell disc is, um, nice, and for those of us like me who grew up with him years ago, good to hear him in what sounds like a clear voice. I would have liked to hear him stripped down a little more (maybe a la Jeff Tweedy), but that's me.

Dr. Alterman,
The TomDispatch reference to historian Steve Fraser perpetuates some misinformation. There were no Keynesians in 1932. Keynes published the General Theory in 1936. It is a rather difficult book and the analysis of concepts such as the liquidity trap and marginal propensity to consume, along with the implications for policy took some time to influence economists, let alone policy makers. While increased government spending was tried by the Roosevelt administration, the idea was to directly provide employment rather than stimulate demand.
Keynes met Roosevelt once, in 1935 and the meeting did not go well. Roosevelt did not understand economics. He was a leader and a pragmatist, ready to try any possible solution. Unfortunately, Keynes' analysis had not made an impact by 1937, when Roosevelt reverted to more conservative principles and caused a new recession, in the depression. It took WWII to inadvertently implement Keynes' program.
I appreciated Mr. Pierce's account of his experience in Doha. The last time I was there and staying in town, the Marriott had a nice beach on the Gulf and a decent "library." The accommodations were much better then other more recent visits, when I stayed at CENTCOM headquarters. By the way, Qatar's main wealth is natural gas, not oil.

Props for endorsing an album by an artist not considered very hip even by retro-baby boomers. I loved "Wichita Lineman," too, but didn't it come out around 1975 or 1976, when Bonds had begun leaving a lot of his talent in the bottoms of whiskey glasses?
What you were doing around that time, I can't know, but I trust it didn't involve disco, CB radio, the Fred Harris for President campaign, or the Symbionese Liberation Army.
Eric replies: Dude, you're right. Memory plays tricks, alas. It was "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife." Thanks. And as I recall, 1975, was a pretty fine year for music.

Murmur is arguably the best complete album by R.E.M., though I am sure hard core fans of the band may disagree. It remains in my wider rotation of albums I am content to listen to start to finish.
Just a plug for the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs remastered version, which is astonishing in its clarity and recovered bass. It may not be available new from the reincarnated version of MoFi, but it should be obtainable via used sources (Ebay, and so on), and is well worth it.
I'm looking forward to listening to the newer version you reviewed.
The Doors, I should add, were a great band. Unfortunately, their live material is often very uneven, subject to the vagaries of sixties recording quality and the whims of Jim Morrison's personality, and hence, his performance. The latter Doors albums were similarly uneven but still contain some gems, which are sometimes better appreciated in their original album context rather than the easy and prolific "best of" compilations.

Online auction site launches for rich and famous
By Burton Frierson
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Millionaires down on their luck now have a place to sell their mega-yachts, super-cars and family jewels without having to resort to the pawn shop.
An Internet auction site devoted to millionaires launches officially on Monday and is likely to profit from the worst recession in decades, which has extended its reach to the rich and famous in the United States, BillionaireXchange said.
The company said it has already played a role in the sale or exchange of more than $180 million in assets during a 10-month test phase, and has noticed a trend of distressed transactions from U.S. clients.
"I would say that in the United States market that's probably the majority of the types of the transactions that we're seeing right now," Quintin Thompson, co-founder and executive partner of BillionaireXchange, told Reuters.
"Because of the current economic conditions in the U.S. we're seeing a lot of people who need to actually trade out or trade down from some of their luxury items and facilitate that transaction somewhere discreetly and privately so that they don't have to deal with the shame and or embarrassment of downgrade."
The company said its website aims to exploit a market niche between internet sales sites such as eBay, which are available to the general public, and auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's for fine art and collectibles.
Given the nature and price of items auction houses come to mind as potential competitors. But BillionaireXchange's completely on-line model, is likely to be a key difference.
The site facilitates sales and trades of everything from arts and antiques to commercial properties, businesses and foreclosed homes. Continued...

COLUMBUS – For outstanding trombone teaching and lasting contributions to the world of trombone performance and education, Irvin Wagner, a University of Oklahoma professor of music, was awarded the 2013 Neill Humfeld Award at the 42nd International Trombone Festival, held recently at the Schwob School of Music at Columbus State University.
The Neill Humfeld Award honors the teaching excellence of the late Neill Humfeld. The International Trombone Festival is an annual opportunity to meet and share with other trombonists through performances, exhibits, competitions, lectures and awards. At OU, Wagner holds the distinguished titles of David Ross Boyd and Regents' Professor of Music. He teaches trombone and serves as coordinator of Graduate Music Studies.
Outside OU, he is a trombonist with the Oklahoma City Philharmonic Orchestra. He also frequently serves as a guest conductor of the Oklahoma City Philharmonic, the Austin (Texas) Symphony and the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra. Internationally, he has conducted for the Russian Imperial Orchestra in St. Petersburg, Russia, the Cannes Symphony Orchestra in France and the Orquesta Sinfonica de Santa Fe in Argentina.
Wagner also composes and arranges a considerable amount of music. His compositions and arrangements for the Trombone Choir are used in the industry worldwide.
He served as president of the International Trombone Association from 1982 to 1984. During his tenure with that organization, he traveled around the world, performing, teaching and organizing national trombone chapters.

Location: Range Management Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
The objectives of this cooperative research project are to continue implementation and development of the Landscape Toolbox project, and to develop technologies for integrative assessment and monitoring of rangelands at multiple scales in the context of landscape ecological potential.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
Collaborative research will be designed and implemented at jointly identified sites in the western United States including Idaho. Research will focus on: 1) designing methods for describing ecological sites and ecological potential at multiple scales in a globally-consistent manner, 2) designing assessment and monitoring technologies appropriate for both ground based and remotely-sensed indicators of ecosystem properties linked to those ecological site descriptions, and 3) development of integrated knowledge and information systems to support ecosystem management.
3. Progress Report:
In FY 2012, we worked with our cooperators to develop and implement standardized inventory, monitoring and assessment methods, and to develop a suite of integrated knowledge and information systems necessary to apply inventory, monitoring and assessment data to management. Specific projects addressed by this collaboration are described in progress reports for funded projects.

Liquid Soap Dispenser - Human
These little guys come in blue, black, or grey., and for only $9. Aren't they cute?!
No, with this humorous face and small size, this kung fu kid isn't even a little bit frightening. This little kung fu kid is not ready to fight with a sword, he is just ready to help you hold an incense!
Aren't these guys adorable? You can see in their little faces that they're struggling soooo hard to hold your candle up for you! You could even put these next to your tub for some charming lighting.


text: Engagement and disengagement of the clutches is by means of a 'sliding sleeve' with a cam profile which is moved axially over resilient angle levers, these in turn transmit the required force to the set of plates. A limited amount of plate wear is compensated for by the resilient bending of the levers so that the torque capable of being transmitted remains constant to a large extent and adjustment is only necessary after an extended period of time. The engaging/disenga-ging movement can be introduced by means of hand levers, pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders or electromechanical actuation systems.

It was not hard to see why the mourning dove is the most populous game bird in North America. As we bounced through the picked field, 30 or 40 lifted off ahead of us and to the sides; winging away from the millet-baited wire traps that held seven or eight less wary doves.
Yet, this handful of birds and a few more in the next set of wire live traps would bring the DNR wildlife crew from Otter Creek Wildlife Area in Tama County to their banding goal of 100. And over the next day, they would fit another 80 with tiny aluminum leg bands, to pad their quota. "You never catch them all. There are so many doves and we'll catch only a small percentage," explained wildlife technician Rodney Ellingson.
Setups across Iowa in August yield similar results…where 2,000 banded doves is the goal for this summer. Since 2003, 18,000 doves have been banded and released in Iowa. As any are harvested or recaptured, those bands tell wildlife biologists a lot about where the birds nest, age structure, their migration habits and just how many mourning doves are out there.
Even in mid-August, doves were on the move.
"We see a lot more birds. We know some are local, some are early migrants," noted Ellingson. "Yesterday, we had some (already banded) recaptures; probably from the northern part of the state. They are definitely on the move; after a few cooler nights."
That is what hunters want to see, with Iowa's dove season opening September 1. The state's newest season, hunters are still 'trickling' into the dove fields; as more learn how to hunt the elusive, fast moving game bird.
"An estimated 8,200 dove hunters harvested about 118,000 doves in 2013," said DNR upland wildlife research biologist Todd Bogenschutz. "Band return data shows hunters harvest about 2 percent of Iowa's doves. The population has remained stable here over the last decade."
Regionally, the 2013 estimated dove population in the Central Management Unit was 141 million.
Scouting is important for successful dove hunting. Many of the better areas are along food plots on public hunting areas and on private fields enrolled in IHAP—Iowa's Hunter Access Program. Sunflowers have proven most popular in the first three seasons. Contact the area wildlife biologist for locations of dove plots. Observations by field staff indicate an abundance of doves this fall. Visit http://www.iowadnr.gov/Hunting/MigratoryGameBirds/MourningDoves.aspx for more information.
Iowa's mourning dove season runs through November 9, 2014. The daily bag limit is 15 doves (Mourning and Eurasian Collared combined) with a possession limit of 30. Shooting hours are half hour before sunrise to sunset. Dove hunters are required to register with the federal Harvest Information Program (HIP). Hunters can register with HIP online or thru any license agent. Go to http://www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/uploads/Hunting/migratoryregs.pdf for information.
Non-toxic shot is not required for dove hunting except on areas requiring it be used. A list of public areas requiring non-toxic shot for doves is in the 2014-15 hunting regulations (p. 17) http://www.iowadnr.gov/Hunting/HuntingLicensesLaws.aspx
Rabbit, Squirrel Seasons Open, Too…
The 2014-15 hunting seasons for cottontail rabbits and fox and gray squirrels open August 30.
Hunters should see better rabbit numbers than last year. Southern Iowa shows higher densities heading into the fall. Slow walks through abandoned farmsteads, fence lines…and stomping brush piles are proven rabbit-locating methods. Having a beagle alongside is a big plus.
"Beagles and other trailing dogs can increase your success and improve the quality of the hunt," suggests Bogenschutz. With a daily limit of 10 and a possession limit of 20, the cottontail season extends through February. Hours are from sunrise to sunset. Roadside counts of rabbits will be posted in early September at www.iowadnr.gov/pheasantsurvey .
Acorns are beginning to set on oak trees around Iowa; with a few dropping already. That is an obvious hint that squirrel season gets underway, August 30.
"Iowa's squirrel numbers should be similar to last year," anticipates DNR forest wildlife coordinator Jim Coffey.
Drought conditions in 2013 generally held nut production below normal. With up to three litters a summer, squirrels can rebound quickly. If hunting in an area with poor acorn production look for alternate food resources such as hickory or walnut trees. Southern Iowa experienced a better mast production for these species last year.
Squirrels provide high excitement and low hunting pressure opportunity…yet perennially, are an underutilized game species. They are great introductions to the outdoors for young hunters. The squirrel season is open through January 31. The daily bag limit is six (fox and gray squirrels combined) and the possession limit is 12. There are no restrictions on shooting hours.

Frozen features two hidden Disney cameos
New Disney movies often take advantage of the company's long and illustrious history by including sly hidden nods to their previous cinematic efforts.
Disney's latest effort, 'Frozen,' is no different and includes two cameos from one of the company's most recent projects. If you want to avoid these little SPOILERS then you should probably avert your gaze now.
Two characters from 2010's 'Tangled' feature for a brief moment in 'Frozen.' Only eagle-eyed viewers will have spotted Rapunzel and her love interest, Flynn Rider, who is known as Eugene, though, because they are on screen for a matter of seconds.
A Facebook discussion between 'Tangled's' co-director, Nathan Greno, and one hawk-eyed fan confirmed that Rapunzel and her beau feature in 'Frozen.'
The anonymous moviegoer sent Greno a screenshot that he believed featured the duo, writing, "Hello! I was wondering if this truly is both Rapunzel AND Eugene in Frozen!"
Greno noted that it looked like her before confirming, "I checked … yep, they added our girl in that shot! Good eye!" He then admitted that he "didn't know" that Rapunzel had been added to 'Frozen's' ensemble.
However, as Greno didn't confirm that Eugene was next to her, the Disney viewer decided to respond, "And is that Eugene next to her? On her right? Because it looks like a vest he would wear, and he has sideburns, a goatee, hair partially covering his ear, and loose strands near his forehead, just like Eugene!"
Greno then came back and declared, "Yep. That's Flynn! I asked someone who worked on that shot."
SlashFilm reported that the scene which features Flynn and Rapunzel takes place very early on in 'Frozen,' and occurs when Kristen Bell's Anna is singing, "For the First Time in Forever." The duo appear alongside numerous other commoners and royals as Anna waltzes around them.
Although Disney are yet to confirm the two characters' presence, the fact that Greno recognises them should be more than enough verification. 'Frozen' is released in the United Kingdom on Friday December 6.
Are you looking forward to 'Frozen'? What's your favourite Disney cameo?

I liked that
I wish I could turn off the subtitles so I wouldnt get distracted with reading. I liked his visual for this track. It's a story about a face in the crowd. Stromae shines light on task of every day life and how we fight for something more, only for us to realize that this is what life is about and there is no way out except...yah know.

Here's a blog entry my mom wrote a while back when we left for vacation...I'm not really sure whats going on, but we still haven't gone home. Oh well, this place is much better.
Beb's moving adjustments
So we've moved. Patrick and I bought a cute '50's cottage in a historic part of San Angelo. We love it! Beb on the other hand has had a time adjusting.
To start with, what a bad mother I am. The day the movers came, I put the darling in her kennel to keep her out from under foot. The movers moved everything out of the house with the exception of some small boxes I had in the kitchen. Beb was in her kennel in front of "her" window that looked out on the deck taking in everything and truly acting a little concerned. After the movers loaded up everything I followed them to the new house, got everything unloaded and set up, grabbed some lunch at a drive thru and went to the old house to get Beb and some random odds and ends. Poor thing. Not until I got to the old house did I realize what I had done. Beb was laying in her kennel looking at an empty living room for about an hour, all alone. I can just hear her...." Those idiots forgot me!"
After pleading for forgiveness, I loaded her into the car and took her to the new house. She was a little confused when we walked in the front door and "her" couch was set up. She gave everything a thorough sniffing, and settled in for a nap in front of what has become her new window.
I honestly think she still thinks we are going "home" we are on some long vacation. When we leave the house she sits at the front door and waits for us, or goes to our bedroom and sleeps in our bed until we come home. She is having some difficulty manuvering on the hardwood floors.... we of course just get a kick out of it. She looks like a short fat Tom Cruise every time she comes racing into the living room after one of her many beloved toys.
Beb has a real yard now, but isn't sure she likes it just yet. We have a 6 1/2 foot privacy fence, but our yard backs up to a semi busy street. Anytime she hears a motor cycle or one of the many pickups around here with loud exhausts, she comes running for the back door. I swear if she could talk we'd hear "Incoming!!!!!" everytime something loud goes by. Its fun to spy on her when she is back there and doesn't know I am watching.
I'm crazy I know, you should know....I've never denied it. Stay tuned!

Linux in a Nutshell covers the core commands available on common Linux distributions. This isn't a scaled-down quick reference of common commands, but a complete reference containing all user, programming, administration, and networking commands.Contents include:
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal featured on the cover of Linux in a Nutshell is an Arabian horse. Known for its grace and intelligence, the Arabian is one of the oldest breeds of horse, with evidence of its existence dating back 5000 years. The Arabian was very instrumental as an ancestor to other popular breeds, most notably the Thoroughbred in the 17th and 18th centuries. Possibly one of the more characteristic horse breeds, the typical Arabian has large expressive eyes and nostrils, small ears, and a short, sturdy back. Its stamina suits it particularly well for endurance riding, where the breed dominates the sport. Its wonderful temperament makes the Arabian an all-around favorite riding horse in North America, though it also can be found in more specialized competitions such as dressage, jumping, and reining. Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book, using a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. The cover layout was produced with Quark XPress 3.3, using the ITC Garamond font.The fonts used in the book are Garamond and Garamond book. Text was prepared using the troff text formatter. Figures were created by Chris Reilley in Macromedia Freehand 5.0 and Adobe Photoshop. This colophon was written by Nicole Gipson Arigo.

I bet that the slide is not "slightly faded." Rather, it's coated with a very thin wash of diluted white nail enamel.
It's worth trying to use some straight acetone, or some more nail-polish remover, and a soft cotton cloth, to scrub the rest of the enamel off.
If the metal was originally blued, this will not remove the blue color. Rather, it should restore it.
But if the slide was originally painted, or otherwise coated, you may do some slight damage.
However, that damage would be merely cosmetic, and not functional.
Next time, use either an ordinary white crayon, or buy the correct material (I believe that it's a type of shellac stick) from Brownells.

1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The AC evaporator drain commonly clogs and causes water to leak onto the passenger side floor. A sloshing noise may also be heard from the water inside the heater housing. Decaying organic debris in the housing may cause an odor. A service bulletin (TSB 24-06-96) was released; it describes how to clean the drain tube without removing the heater AC housing.
Loose or worn suspension and steering components can cause a wobble or shaking in the steering wheel. It may happen at a certain speed and subside as the vehicle accelerates through the range. Tire balance can contribute to this as well.
A no crank or no start condition may develop due to electronic lockup of the wireless control module (WCM), also referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). When this module fails the remote keyless entry system will also not operate. The WCM is commonly replaced to correct this concern.
Due to warped front brake rotors or variations in the thickness of the rotors, brake pulsations may develop. The best method to reduce pulsations is to use an "On the Car" brake lathe (as long as the rotors are suitable for turning). "On the Car" equipment can correct variations (or "runout") in the rotor surfaces because it also corrects variations in other components (e.g. the hub).
Leaks at the front and/or rear differential pinion seal and from the transfer case are common. Leakage from the transfer case normally occurs at the case-mating surfaces and require removal of the transfer case to reseal.
The AC/heater (HVAC) system may unexpectedly switch to the defrost mode when accelerating. This system is operated by engine vacuum and should be inspected for any vacuum leaks if this problem develops. There is also a revised vacuum check valve available to address this concern.
If the downstream (rear) oxygen sensor wiring harness contacts the propeller (drive) shaft, it can damage the oxygen sensor and the wiring harness for the sensor, and/or cause Check Engine Light illumination. The wiring harness should be repaired and secured away from propeller shaft.
External oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets (front or rear), and the rear crankshaft seal area are common. The rear main seal is an unlikely source. Normally, leaks in this area are from the bearing cap mating surfaces as well as the sealing surface between the oil pan and bearing cap.
On the 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 the engine oil leaks at the distributor can be misdiagnosed as leaks from the intake manifold seal, oil pan gasket, or rear crankshaft (rear main) seal. A revised distributor is available if oil is found inside the distributor.
On 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 engines, the intake manifold gasket may leak and cause increased oil consumption and a spark knock during acceleration; the gasket should be replaced.
A ticking type noise may be noted from the engine area due to an exhaust manifold that has cracked where the pipes are welded; cracked manifolds should be replaced.
If the oil filter casing shows signs of distortion from excessive oil pressure, the oil pump should be replaced.

Yes , be at the right place and time. Where I work they just hired a girl about 2 months ago who didn't know anything about cars.

I worked on my car today--and that got pretty old after a couple hours.
I can't imagine working on cars 5 days a week for 10, 20, 30 years.
apply to jiffylube,mavis,firestone,monroes,sts or some comanys like that, its a start where they hire people and teach them stuff,but to really learn u have to be hands on yourself and do alot of reading, plus since ur in new jersey u should go to u.t.i
also i you can go to mechanic shops or even body shops and be a helper and work ur way up to gain ur knowledge quicker
Really? F'ING REALLY????????? The places you listed SUCK SO MUCH. They have complete retards working there who need instructions on the proper technique for breathing. I can not think of a worse place to start then the places you listed.Originally Posted by CASH CURES A.D.D
well its a start and thats what i did, and i did side jobs to make more money,and i gained more experience,so i can get a better job and get paid more i dont see what the problem is. and i never met a unhappy 35 year old tech..because all the techs ive meet in my life from working in dealers are making money. the key is do sides jobs,because in the dealership world if ur advisor sucks and he or she cant sell squat, then u are not making money.

yes, it's possible, i started without training.
like any other job, some people truly have talent and passion for it, others don't.
i've met several unhappy techs, if it's just a job it's a miserable one.
if it's the way you most like to spend your time it is a very satisfying and fun line of work.
find a shop that will give you a chance and try it, if you love it, GO TO SCHOOL in order to advance your career quickly to your ideal position.
good luck!

quattro dude is mad as **** lmao
But, I'm an a$$hole, so don't take my advice, become a mechanic, and see how awesome it is. You can email me when you realize I was right. I predict it will be right about the time you spent $xx,xxx on tools and realized you are going to start out at $9/hr at Firestone/Mr Lube because no dealer is going to hire a tech without $xx,xxx in schooling, plus $xx,xxx in tools. Enjoy.
Working on cars all day sucks.
So you really enjoy working on your own car and maybe your friends car everyonce and awhile.
The field is horrible. Do yourself a favor and don't make the same mistake I did and don't make your hobby a job.
We are extremely overworked, underpaid group.
Compare it to a doctor, you have a complicated medical problem, okay you go to the doctor, try a medicine, treatment etc.. Doesn't work, doctor consults a second opinion, tries something else. Try that in the automotive field, diagnose a problem incorrectly, doesn't fix it,customers pissed, writer/managers pissed, and guess what, you get to figure it out/re diagnose it for free.
Think you're gonna make a ton of money? Nothing's more frustrating than fixing everyone else's car all day and barely being able to afford fix your own. Or how about the day the snap-on guy comes and takes $100. Weekly.
And flat rate... Oh god. Don't even get me started. No work? Tough break. Spend 4 hours diagnosing a complex problem and writer calls the customer and they don't even want to fix it because its too expensive? Oh that sucks for you, pull it out!
I mean sure, there are people that are extremely talented and can make Good money doing it. But it takes years to master every aspect of it and not lose your ass from time to time.
All I'm saying is give it some serious thought before considering it. It's a make or break field, you either have it or you don't. You're either really good at it or your changing tires and oil the rest of your life.
Just my two cents.

(Soccer America provides ongoing coverage of the 2018/2022 World Cup bid process.)
By Paul Kennedy, Editor in
When it comes to folks who carry weight abroad, few American political figures can match Arnold Schwarzenegger, California's
Austrian-born governor who joined the board of directors of the USA Bid Committee seeking to bring the World Cup to the United States in 2018 or 2022.
It is said Schwarzenegger's
father wanted him to become a soccer player but Arnold chose instead to go into body-building. He gained worldwide fame as an actor in the 1980s and entered politics in 2003, replacing Gray Davis as governor of California in a recall election.
"Soccer is the world's most popular sport and California has been home to some of
its most exciting games," said Schwarzenegger, "and I am proud to be a part of bringing the World Cup back to the United States."
The finals of all three U.S.-hosted
World Cups took place in California -- the 1994 World Cup and 1999 Women's World Cup at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and 2003 Women's World Cup at the Home Depot Center in Carson.
"Governor Schwarzenegger is a passionate and committed leader in all the projects he takes on," said Sunil Gulati, the Chairman of the USA Bid
Committee and President of U.S. Soccer. "California is a soccer state in every sense of the word, with participation and avid support at all levels, from its vast youth system to the
professional ranks. We look forward to working with Governor Schwarzenegger in our effort to bring the World Cup back to the United States in 2018 or 2022."
ability to help the U.S. bid in the short term will be limited by the difficult task he faces eliminating California's multi-billion dollar budget deficit.
In an era of Democratic
political power, the Bid Committee's board of directors has a bipartisan look. Former Democratic National Committee National Finance Chair Philip Murphy
was one of the initial board members announced earlier this year.
Schwarzenegger is a Republican, as is former U.S. Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger, who is also serving on the bid committee.
"Either one of our candidates from this
region, certainly on a comparative basis to the rest of the world, will shine favorably. Therefore, we have every confidence to believe that we will be successful in our quest."
-- American Chuck Blazer, the Concacaf general secretary and FIFA executive committee member, on the USA or Mexico landing the 2018 or 2022 World Cups. (AP)
Ilona IV docks in the Bahamas
[FIFA CONGRESS] The 59th FIFA Congress began Tuesday in Nassau, Bahamas, to the music of the Royal Bahamas Police Force Marching Band.
While there was a FIFA ban on
public displays of lobbying for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, the 11 candidates certainly had a presence in the Bahamas.
Perhaps the most luxurious was the 240-foot yacht Ilona IV
Frank Lowy, the chairman of Australia's soccer federation, brought into Bahamian waters to hold lobbying activities, according to the Age.
Lowy, the inspirational figure in Australia's
World Cup bid, made his fortune in shopping malls -- the Westfield Group is the largest real estate group in the world -- and named the $100 million yacht after his mother.

Lindsay Lohan stepped out on Tuesday night for the "Liz & Dick" premiere, where she chatted with Access Hollywood about getting back to work, the loves of her life and recent rumors about her plans to adopt.
"I love being on set and you know, sometimes it takes people a long time to recognize that," Lindsay told Access when asked if playing Elizabeth Taylor on the small screen will kickstart her career.
PLAY IT NOW: Does Lindsay Lohan Want Children? - Hollywood News Roundup (November 20, 2012)
"But after doing this movie, it just made me want to keep working so I intend to keep doing that," she continued.
Earlier on Tuesday she appeared on "The Tonight Show" where she told Jay Leno, "I've fallen in love several times, and I don't think that's a bad thing."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan
But she told Access her loves have been few and far between.
"I have a very few loves. And [Liz] actually has a quote that she said is she's infatuated with being in love. And I don't see anything wrong with that," the actress told Access. "I think that love comes and goes and you know, when you find the right person eventually then it's meant to happen. But it's okay to fall in love all the time."
Instead of searching for love, Lindsay is looking to keep her career alive.

"I'm more focused on work than anything else," she explained.
The 26-year-old also addressed rumors that she plans to adopt a boy.

"I need to find out who this friend is because that's been going on my whole life of people telling things that I think are my friends," she said with a laugh when asked about the adoption reports.
Adding with a giggle, "That's no one's business."
"Liz & Dick," premieres on Lifetime on November 25 at 9 PM ET.

Flacco didn't realize the irony of the exchange until a few years later.
"Your brother is a great quarterback," the runner said.
"OK, cool," Flacco replied.
Russell Wilson then stepped off the bag, and eventually away from baseball, back to a football career with Wisconsin and later the NFL, where he just completed a sensational rookie season quarterbacking the Seattle Seahawks.

Welcome. Do you feel a difference at speed with that front splitter? I'm curious. I like what it seems to be trying to do for the brakes (are your side markers vented also?). Are there brake ducts under the body that work? I bet you could move lots of air that way.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry. Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms, 1929

Your fantasy football playoffs are just a few short weeks away, so here's the preface for this edition of ETB's vaunted weekly position ranks: if you're still in the hunt, better not f*** up! And if you're not, don't be that guy who sulks in the corner and stops setting their starting lineup each week.
There's absolutely nothing worse than "that guy," and we know you know what we're talking about. It's not even about having pride in your loser of a fantasy squad–nope. It's about having some respect for the guys who are still fighting for a playoff berth by at least putting your best foot forward in your season-ending head-to-head matchups. If you lay down like Marc Bulger facing a pass rush in a collapsing pocket, thereby giving your opponent an easy victory, you could very well be costing one of us a precious opportunity to gain ground on said opponent.
Know what I'm saying?
So please, do your fellow fantasy football leaguers a solid and make sure you have someone who's actually playing on Sunday in your starting lineup. Leaving RBs, WRs, and TEs in there who are on IR or have been benched is just insulting.
Lecture over. With that out of the way, don't forget that tonight sees the Cincinnati Bungles host the Pittsburgh Steelers, so plan accordingly. (By the way, this is the lowest we've ranked Brian Westbrook in a long, long time–start him at your own risk. And we can't rank Reggie Bush any higher until we've seen him on the field, how many snaps he's getting, etc.)

The War between the Spirit and the..
ArtistsitrA ZionoiZ ...
FREE LARGE FILE DOWNLOADS of most of my artworks, just CLICK the "LIKE BUTTON" ON THE TOP OF THE PAGE at the following link;
Title; "The War between the Spirit and the Flesh"
The poetic and prophetic words, to the following superb masterpiece of a song titled; "Jesus Christ" by one of the best Rock Bands ever; a band called "Brand New" ( See the following link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilo9dTelB8w&NR=1&feature=fvwp
This song most clearly puts into words my deepest most inner battle between "...the Spirit and the Flesh". I could not have said it better in a million years. This song also expresses the extreme inner battle of a lonely person. Anyone, who has ever battled loneliness will be able to totally relate to this song also. It is at the same time both a secular masterpiece and a masterpiece, which any struggling Christian can totally relate to also.
Here are the following lyrics to the song;
Jesus Christ lyrics
Songwriters: Lacey, Jesse;
Jesus Christ, she has a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save
If they don't put me away
It'll be a miracle
Do you believe you're missing out
And everything good is happening somewhere else?
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through
And I will die all alone
And when I arrive, I won't know anyone
Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did You do those three days You were dead?
'Cuz this problem's gonna last
More than the weekend
Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?
Do I divide and fall apart?
'Cuz my bright is too sly to hold back all my dark
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/brand-new-lyrics/jesus-christ-lyrics.html]
And the ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?
I know you'll come in the night like a thief
But I've had some time alone to hold my lies
I know you think that I'm someone you can trust
But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to never give up
So do you think that we could work out a song
Some know that it's you and that it's over so I won't even try
I know you'll come for the people like me
But we all got wood and nails, we're tongue tied to a hating factory
Yeah, we all got wood and nails, we're tongue tied to a hating factory
Yeah, we all got wood and nails, and we sleep inside of this machine

Uttar Pradesh, who had made 132 in their first innings in reply to the visitors' 184, were 77 for one at stumps on day two, needing 83 more to win the tie at the Kamla Club ground.
At close, Jyoti Yadav (26) and Suresh Raina (41) were at the crease.
Earlier, the home side resuming their first innings at 111 for five lost their remaining wickets for the addition of just 21 runs as Assam bowlers struck in quick succession. R K Yadav was the most successful bowler with figures of 6/57.
Assam, however, failed to cash in on the advantage as they lost wickets at regular intervals in the face of some fine bowling by R P Singh (5/35) and A W Zaidi (3/23).

You say one up, however...
Jacques time at Williams was fine, he won the World Championship. Then he created BAR and basically couldn't be bothered anymore. It wasn't Mario, it was Jacques.
And lets face it, Vettel and Kubica are worth more than one point each.

does anyone know any decks that would fit into a 1966 ford truck?...im trying to build a system for it
Summit and Jegs etc have decks that are custom fitted to the more popular older vehicles............You never know, they may fit yours, but doubt it......Looks like the old suare hole in the dash is in your future. You could always put it under the seat, in the glove box or make a console for it.
yeah that may neeed to happen...
