Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a true story about sports writer Mitch Albom and his favorite college professor Morrie Schwartz. During Albom's undergraduate years at Brandeis University, when he takes every class taught by his mentor, he and Schwartz form a bond that goes beyond the typical... read more (warning: may contain spoilers)
"Build a little community of those you love and who love you."Morrie Schwartz
"Do the kinds of things that come from the heart."Morrie Schwartz
"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else, something hurts you, yet you Know it shouldn't, you take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted...."Morrie Schwartz
"Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do, accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it, learn to forgive yourself and forgive others, don't assume that it's too late to get involved."Morrie Schwartz
"Dying is only one thing to be sad over, Mitch. Living unhappily is something else."Morrie Schwartz
"These were people so hungry for love they were accepting substitutes. They were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. But it never works."Morrie Schwartz
"If you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere."Morrie Schwartz
"Take my condition. The things I am supposed to be embarrassed about now — not being able to walk, not being able to wipe my ass, waking up some mornings wanting to cry — there is nothing innately embarrassing about them. It's the same for women not being thin enough, or men not being rich enough. It's just what our culture would have you believe. Don't believe it."Morrie Schwartz
"When you're in bed, you're dead."Morrie Schwartz
"Coach. All right, I'll be your coach. And you can be my player. You can play all the lovely parts of life that I'm too old for now."Morrie Schwartz
"Morrie: A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle.Mitch: Sounds like a wrestling match.Morrie: A wrestling match. Yes, you could describe life that way. Mitch: So which side wins? Morrie: Which side wins? Love wins. Love always wins."Morrie Schwartz, Mitch Albom
"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."Morrie Schwartz
"Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another."Mitch Albom
"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in. Let it come in. We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, 'Love is the only rational act."Morrie Schwartz
"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too--even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."Morrie Schwartz
"Koppel imagined the two men together one day, one unable to speak, the other unable to hear. What would that be like?Morrie: We will hold hands. And there'll be a lot of love passing between us. Ted, we've had thirty-five years of friendship. You don't need speech or hearing to feel that."Ted, Morrie
"Morrie: Dear Barbara . . . I was very moved by your letter. I feel the work you have done with the children who have lost a parent is very important. I also lost a parent at an early age . . . I lost my mother when I was a child . . . and it was quite a blow to me . . . I wish I'd had a group like yours where I would have been able to talk about my sorrows. I would have joined your group because . . . because I was so lonely . . .Koppel: Morrie, that was seventy years ago your mother died. The pain still goes on?Morrie: You bet."Ted, Morrie
"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."Henry Adams
"Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it."Morrie Schwartz
"Without love, we are birds with broken wings."Morrie Schwartz
"Learn to detach. You know what the Buddhists say? Don't cling to things, because everything is impermanent."Morrie Schwartz
"Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it."Morrie Schwartz
"Fate succumbsmany a species: one alonejeopardizes itself."W.H. Auden, Morrie's Favorite Poet
"Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you, as I'm sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter how much of them you have."Morrie Schwartz
"The truth is, you don't get satisfaction from those things. You know what really gives you satisfaction? Offering others what you have to give."Morrie Schwartz
"Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone."Morrie Schwartz
"Each night, when go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn."Mahatma Gandhi
"Morrie: Someone asked me an interesting question yesterday.Mitch: What was the question?Morrie: If I worried about being forgotten after I died?Mitch: Well? Do you?Morrie: I don't think I will be. I've got so many people who have been involved with me in close, intimate ways.And love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone."Morrie Schwartz, Mitch Albom
"Still, there are a few rules I know true about love and marriage: If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike."Morrie Schwartz
"Morrie: And the biggest one of those values, Mitch?Mitch: Yes?Morrie: Your belief in the importance of marriage."Morrie Schwartz, Mitch Albom
"People are only mean when they're threatened."Morrie Schwartz
"Look, no matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be. We should be looking at our potential, stretching ourselves into everything we can become."Morrie Schwartz
"In the beginning of life, when we are infants, we need others to survive, right? And at the end of life, when you get like me, you need others to survive, right? But here's the secret: in between, we need others as well."Morrie Schwartz
"For me, Ted, living means I can be responsive to the other person. It means I can show my emotions and my feelings. Talk to them. Feel with them."Morrie Schwartz
"Don't let go too soon, but don't hang on too long."Morrie Schwartz
"Love each other or die."Morrie Schwartz
"Koppel: You did a good job.Morrie: I gave you what I had.Koppel: You always do.Morrie: Ted, this disease is knocking at my spirit. But it will not get my spirit. It'll get my body. It will not get my spirit.Koppel: You done good.Morrie: You think so. I'm bargaining with Him up there now. I'm asking Him, 'Do I get to be one of the angels?'"Ted, Morrie Schwartz
"Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others."Morrie Schwartz
"As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on--in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here."Morrie Schwartz page 174
"Death ends a life, not a relationship."Morrie Schwartz page 174
"Sometimes, when you're losing someone, you hang on to whatever tradition you can."Mitch Albom
"Mitch: Coach?Morrie: Ahh?Mitch: I don't know how you say goodbye.Morrie: This . . . is how we say . . . goodbye . . . Love . . . you.Mitch: I love you, too, Coach.Morrie: Know you do . . . know . . . something else . . .Mitch: What else do you know?Morrie: You . . . always have. . ."Morrie Schwartz, Mitch Albom
"My father moved through theys of we,singing each new leaf out of each tree(and every child was sure that springdanced when she heard my father sing) . . ."A poem by E. E. Cummings, read by Morrie's son, Rob, at the memorial service
"If you really listen to that bird on your shoulder, if you accept that you can die at any time-- then you might not be as ambitious as you are."Morrie Schwartz
"What's wrong with being number two?"Morrie Schwartz
"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it."Morrie Schwartz p. 42
"I thought about all the people I knew who spent many of their waking hours feeling sorry for themselves. How useful it would be to put a daily limit on self-pity."Mitch Albom p. 57
"Am I being the person I want to be?"Morrie Schwartz p. 81
"We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us."Morrie Schwartz p. 84
"Still," he says, "if you really want it, then you'll make your dream happen. "I want to hug him, to thank him for saying that, but I am not thatopen. I only nod instead."Mitch Albom and Morrie Schwartz
"I decide I'm going to live- or at least try to live- the way I want, with dignity, with courage, with humor, with composure."Morrie Schwartz
"Why are we embarrassed by silence? What comfort do we find in all the noise?"Morrie Schwartz
"As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decaying, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it."Morrie Schwartz
"If we saw each other as more alike, we might be very eager to join in one big human family in this world, and to care about that family the way we care about our own."
"I mourn my dwindling time, but i cherish the chance it gives me to make things right."Morrie Schwartz
"In business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe you're too used to that. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else's situation as you are about your own."

About The Artist
The Set List
'Unstoppable' is the perfect word to describe country act, Rascal Flatts. Since exploding onto the music scene in 1999, the boys have amassed album sales totaling almost 20 million, taken home numerous industry awards and changed the face of contemporary country music. Their new disc, 'Unstoppable' continues their runaway success story and gives fans a taste of what lies ahead. Check out our Nashville set with the Columbus boys and go pick a copy of the new album online and in Walmart stores nationwide!
-The Crew at Walmart Soundcheck
On The Best They've Got To Give:
Jay: "We all feel like it's the best music we've ever made. We took our time with it and that wasn't typical for us. We cut as we found songs. The inspiration behind this record was definitely the music."
Joe: "I think that we've all grown a lot as singers, musicians, songwriters and producers. Everybody's gotten better. We're at a place where this is the best piece of product we've made so far."
On Fans Of The Flatts:
Gary: "The Rascal Flatts fan? (Aged) from three to 103."
Joe: "We always say 'cradle to the grave.'"
Gary: "We do have crazy fans. We do meet-and-greets every single night. We feel like it's important to shake the hands of the people who see the shows and buy the tickets and albums."
On The Fourth Member:
Jay: "(Co-producer) Dan Huff is one of these people that's just nothing short of a genius. He's really gifted musically and also has the patience to work with a band, because that can be very trying. He's a great coach, and he puts all the pieces in the right place. I can't imagine doing a record without him... I think he's like the fourth member and has become an integral part of our team."
Gary: "He wasn't just a producer. He's a true player."
Joe: "He saw what we did live, which is very important to us. He had a brilliant idea to capture that on the album."
Did You Know?
• Rascal Flatts are: Gary LeVox (lead vocals), Jay DeMarcus (bass guitar), and Joe Don Rooney (lead guitar).
• They're from Ohio! The musical trio hail from just outside Columbus, and they've been performing together since the late '90s. The band released their successful self-titled debut in 2000.
• The kids love 'em! Rascal Flatts have a large number of young fans. While country music is generally skewed towards a more mature fan base, the Flatts are popular with the 'kids,' the much-coveted 18-25 demographic.
• They're successful industry songwriters! The trio has written for a number of prolific artists, including Chely Wright, Chicago, and John Rich.
• They've had a heap of hits! Since their inception ten years ago, the band has celebrated nine number one hits.
• Their latest album looks sure to continue the streak. 'Unstoppable' hits stores on April 7, 2009. Be sure to pick up a copy online and in Walmart stores nationwide!
Love Who You Love
Beginning their Soundcheck set with their latest hit, 'Love Who You Love,' Rascal Flatts lead on a high note. It's also a brave one. The band has spoken openly about the song's message, a plea of tolerance to love whomever you choose. It's also drawn comparisons to Garth Brook's 1992 hit, 'We Shall Be Free.' Sing the boys: "Love who you love… with all that you have. Don't waste the time. It flies so fast."
Here Comes Goodbye
Written by Chris Sligh and Clint Lagerbergh, 'Here Comes Goodbye' is the debut single from 'Unstoppable,' and it's a classic country tearjerker. Whether it's the tragic tale of a relationship's demise or a dying man's goodbye, the message is inevitably left to the listener. Sings Gary: "Here comes the last time. Here comes the start of every sleepless night."
Every Day
From their 2007 album, 'Still Feels Good,' 'Every Day' reflects the Flatts' talent for writing message songs that tell great stories. The story behind 'Every Day' is the healing power of a relationship that just keeps getting better. Accompanying a graceful piano intro, Gary sings with gratitude about a love that saves his life: "You could have bowed out gracefully… but you didn't."
Bob That Head
While Rascal Flatts have redefined the sound of traditional country music, the band always returns to their roots. 'Bob That Head' is an unforgettable, foot-tapping testament to Friday night fun. It's also the name of the band's latest high-grossing tour. Sings Gary: "Now he's cruisin'… don't want to lose it!"
Still Feels Good
From the 2007 Rascal Flatts album of the same name, 'Still Feels Good' is a catchy, crossover pop-country tune about keeping it fresh. Regarded as a fan favorite, 'Still Feels Good' sums up the audience response to Rascal Flatts. Ten years into their career, the band sounds just as great as they did starting out. Sings Gary: "That old familiar song blaring from my car… we know every note, every word by heart."

Seven Days Says:
Turning the dance style upside down, this six-member group performs on a construction-themed site set to a driving score by composer Andrew Wilkie.
Industrial Revolution
Dressed in jeans and boots on a construction-site-inspired set, the performers in Dein Perry's award-winning Tap Dogs don't look like your typical tap dancers. But it's clear, upon seeing and hearing their highly synchronized steps, they sure can dance. Raised in a steel town outside Sydney, Australia, Perry — like most of his quick-footed mates — worked as a machinist before taking to the stage. After his big break in a Sydney production of 42nd Street, Perry wanted to incorporate his working experience into a high-quality production. The result is a thoroughly modern show that takes this dance style in a new direction.

For much of its length, the slow-moving Aucilla River in northern Florida flows underground, tunneling through bedrock limestone. But here and there it surfaces, and preserved in those inky ponds lie secrets of the first Americans.
For years adventurous divers had hunted fossils and artifacts in the sinkholes of the Aucilla about an hour east of Tallahassee. They found stone arrowheads and the bones of extinct mammals such as mammoth, mastodon and the American ice age horse.
Then, in the 1980s, archaeologists from the Florida Museum of Natural History opened a formal excavation in one particular sink. Below a layer of undisturbed sediment they found nine stone flakes that a person must have chipped from a larger stone, most likely to make tools and projectile points. They also found a mastodon tusk, scarred by circular cut marks from a knife. The tusk was 14,500 years old.
The age was surprising, even shocking, for it suddenly made the Aucilla sinkhole one of the earliest places in the Americas to betray the presence of human beings. Curiously, though, scholars largely ignored the discoveries of the Aucilla River Prehistory Project, instead clinging to the conviction that America's earliest settlers arrived more recently, some 13,500 years ago. But now the sinkhole is getting a fresh look, along with several other provocative archaeological sites that show evidence of an earlier human presence in the Americas, perhaps much earlier.
Which is why I found myself on the banks of the Aucilla with Michael Waters, director of the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M University. A tall, unassuming 57-year-old, with an easy confidence honed during more than 30 years in the field, he had organized archaeologists and divers to gather more evidence of the sinkhole's role in prehistory. "This site is as old as anything in North America," Waters said. "The context is fine, and the dating is fine, but people just looked at it and said, 'Hmm, that's interesting,' and that was it. It had a lot of potential, but it was in limbo. We're here to confirm the earlier work, and if we're lucky, we'll find some more artifacts."
Waters's team, led by Texas A&M underwater archaeologist Jessi Halligan, worked at the Page-Ladson sink, named for Buddy Page, who discovered it, and John Ladson, the property's owner. The sink lies 30 feet below the opaque surface of the Aucilla, which, following heavy rains, was dyed nearly black by humus from the hardwood hammock. Fish were jumping in the water, while birds, turtles and the occasional gator patrolled nearby. Were it not for Halligan's divers, there would be no human presence and the silence would be absolute.
Underwater archaeological sites are staked out and marked in meter-square quadrants, just like open-air excavations. The mud, troweled away by one diver, was fed into the mouth of a four-inch suction dredge held by a second diver. The dredge discharged into a pair of mesh screens mounted on a skiff moored in midstream. Big pieces—stones, bones, leaves and perhaps human artifacts—collected on the top screen, a quarter-inch mesh, and the small stuff was caught by the sixteenth-inch mesh below.
First the researchers had to clear the site of the detritus that had accumulated in the 15 years since the first excavation ended. Then, to reach the most promising level, divers removed a ten-foot layer of clay that overlay it. The work was tedious—"like diving in dark roast coffee," said James Dunbar, an archaeologist and member of the original Aucilla team who'd returned for a second look—but the blanket of sediment guaranteed the site's integrity. Everything below the sediment was as old as the people who left it there. In the oxygen-deprived deposits within the Aucilla mud, nothing decays.
Working in the Stygian gloom with lamps and suction pumps, the divers unearthed a number of small bone fragments, the fist-size vertebra of a large mammal and a manhole cover-size shoulder blade that might have belonged to the same mastodon whose tusk bore the cut marks of the ancient hunters. Also recovered in the fine-mesh screen were many pounds of mastodon digesta, the remains of vegetation that the six-ton beast ground to a mulch-like texture and swallowed.
The observations the researchers made in their days at the sinkhole validated the original excavation. (And on a subsequent expedition they found more mastodon bones.) Each new discovery generated fresh enthusiasm. "All we need now," said Halligan, "are more human artifacts."
About 100,000 years ago, modern human beings started spreading out from their initial homeland in Africa to occupy Europe, Asia and, by sea, even Australia, displacing or absorbing Neanderthals and other archaic hominid species. That diaspora took about 70,000 years, and when it was completed our ancestors stood triumphant.

Thank you for a really good piece. Note to copy editor: on p. 44, middle of 3rd column, "one of a kind" should not be hyphenated. America desperately needs a hyphen clinic.

I'm Ojibwe from Ontario Canada and our DNA was sampled, and it does give some credence to the Solutreans arrival during the last ice age. One important factor that is not mentioned in this article is that the First Americans were the people who had African and Asian DNA from the Haplogroups A,B,C,D who were here long before the ice age even happened. Even before all these carbon dates and genealogy tests were taken, the Ojibwe have had an Ancient Oral History that states our migrations. Just recently with all these carbon dating and genealogy tests the findings lined up perfectly with the Ojibwe Oral History, which I found to be Amazing! Another important factor that was not mentioned in this article is the Topper Site along the Savannah River in Allendale County, South Carolina. This site proves there was people in North America over 50,000 years ago, long before the Solutreans made it to North America. When the Solutreans made it across the Atlantic 13,500 years ago, it was Ojibwe who met them in what is now Newfoundland and Labrador on the east coast of Canada. As Ojibwe being friendly people by nature, welcomed the Solutreans and they became apart of the Ojibwe Nation. The Ojibwe Nation are the only tribe in North America with a mixture of the Haplogroup A,B,C,D genetic markers, and the mysterious X gene, of which was later identified as the Solutrean DNA. After 13,500 years of human copulation between then and today, the Solutrean gene x was watered down over time, and you would never know the Ojibwe even had it without today's technology. This explains why the Ojibwe Nation are the only Aborignals in North America with facial hair. Not all Ojibwe carry the Solutrean x gene, only some Ojibwe have it.

Page three remarks: "The new AMS tests confirmed that age estimate date, and DNA analysis showed that the projectile point was mastodon bone." Surely, the author meant to write: "The new AMS tests confirmed that age estimate date, and DNA analysis showed that the projectile point was IN mastodon bone." This is a provocative and well-presented article. It's time that a larger perspective were developed, concerning the populating of North and South America. It is not scientific to cling to old ideas, in the face of new and sound information. JDA.

Very good article. Thank you to those that contributed. As a layperson with a longtime interest in paleoanthropology and a lot of reading under my belt, I can only say that I have never doubted the existence of pre-Clovis populations in the Americas. When and whence they came is now the question. The article says the coprolites from the Paisley Cave were successfully used to extract and test mtDNA and showed Asian ancestry. I would interested to know if they tested for percentage of Neanderthalensis and Denisovan ancestry. Paleo-American DNA could be tested against these markers to theorize from where in Asia (presuming an Asian genome) the individual's ancestors may have ultimately come.

I find it hard to imagine that the whole of the North and South American continents were populated by early humans crossing the Bering Strait. The early inhabitants supposedly trekked from Siberia down to Florida and then some of them continued hiking all the way down to Chile? To counter this, other suggestions are that people sailed to the Americas from Australia or Hawaii or some other place that they were willing to risk their lives for to get away from and end up who knows where. I wonder if it might benefit us to begin looking at America as a place that may have been evolving along with Europe rather than a place that was none existant before the Europeans bumped into it.

There are so many misconceptions about what it means to be a First Caucasoid, a Native American who is descended from ancient AMERICAN Caucasoid lineages (mtDNA X cluster). There are only scanty similarities to be compared between our genetic lineages and ~similar (none of which are entirely identical) subclades originating in the Old World, because we are NOT Indo-European at all. Our closest European relative are probably some members of the Basques and/or Finns. And I for one do not use my NA Caucasoid DNA as evidence that Europeans had / have any entitlement to our native homeland. We didn't go to Europe and take your land or exterminate YOU and your ancestors. It is ONLY people of European origin who attempt to make that ridiculous leap of logic, in order to JUSTIFY what they have done and continue to get away with. The tragedy of ancient NA Caucasoid people is that they / we have endured unrelenting ~genocide by BOTH Asian and European invaders to our land. That is why we are so frikn rare as to be near extinction, and our existence is never fairly ~acknowledged. Being nearly (but not precisely) identical in certain genetic racial features of our genomes, even of our phenomes, did not protect us from falling under attack by the Europeans. Please do not ignore us as if we died a long time ago. Some few of us are still right here, in America as we always were.

Artifacts dating to circa 40,000 BC, which included quartzite being used to produce stone tools found inside a rock shelter, as well as other evidence of occupation dating to circa 50,000 BC which included animal bones and charcoal, again found inside the same rock shelter but at a much lower level in the excavation discovered by French and Brazilian archaeologists (Anne Marie Pessis)...

Too often when I read articles like this the only thing I am reminded of is the saying "repeat something enough and it becomes true". Archeology is based on CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence. We can assume, suppose, theorize, derive, hypothesize etc.... Did ALL humans come from Africa? I doubt it. Did All Dinosaurs come from Siberia? Doubt that too. Much like two people on opposite sides of the earth having the same idea around the same time, nature too seems to work along these lines. That's just My opinion; if I get another 100 people to agree with me does it make it a fact? Continents shift, lands are flooded, sands bury evidence over time. When we study something, that is all we do. Study it. We didn't create it, and weren't around for its creation, so all we can do is create a theory and perhaps gain a partial understanding. I think on the whole, the human ego Needs to put things in nice neat little boxes to comfort itself, because the fact is we live in a Universe that is ever expanding and with that expansion there is more to learn. Always. My point being that there is a Super Consciousness out there that guides migration, guides animals, as well as humans, and when humans claim to know what happened thousands or millions of years ago is extremely egocentric, laughable, and naive.

All of you talking up the Europeans first theory, It is doubtful that any of you can trace your ancestry to these people who came across. Furthermore, if we are going to bring up history from that long ago, the Indo-European peoples who inhabit most of Europe killed or forcibly assimilated the previous inhabitants of Europe about 7,000 years ago, including any surviving peoples related to the Europeans who may have reached America in the ice ages. None of the peoples of Europe, except maybe the Basques, are living where they were in the Solutrean times. So it is nearly impossible for any modern European ethnicity or nation to claim they had a right to conquer the Americas based on that. The Native Americans had been living in the Western Hemisphere for at least 12,000 years by 1492, long enough to have the most valid claim to the continents.

I, too, was surprised that the Savannah River / Goodrich evidence was not mentioned, but I'm very glad to have this article update the debate on Clovis theory vs. other evidence. Another similar--perhaps even somehow related?--story would be the growing acceptance of large populations living in the Amazon basin. That seems related in that for many years anthro-archaeological dogma held that such could not be the case, but 'terra preta' and fields of pottery shards are evidence to the contrary. But now, to allow for or advocate alternatives to established theories such as either the Clovis or the lack of Amazon basin civilizations is fraught with Global Warming deniers readiness to seize on any such debunking as evidence in support of their views. It's complicated.
Posted by Schneb on February 10,2013 | 08:00 PM
If it is established that the Americas were first settled by Europeans, and there are now no decendants of those first people, it must follow that they were assimilated, or more likely exterminated, by the peoples who migrated from Asia. If that is true, then the re-colonization of the Americas by Europeans was a just attempt to regain the territory which was originally theirs. Please put me down for a side of beef when the sacred cows are slaughtered.

The king is dead, long live the king. I'm a retired archaeologist, and enjoy these articles. Vance Haynes held archaeologists who tried to study pre-Clovis sites in a state of professional fear. Professional people with good qualifications were loathe to speak out. I thought when Vance Haynes was out of the picture, things would improve, and they have! Kudos to all of you. Seems the newer Haynes doesn't have the clout that Vance had.

Establishing the specific date of human habitation is always difficult because of the factors that must be considered. Usually humans were highly mobile and did not yet develop communities with large numbers of remnant hard parts. Did all humans in North America come from Siberia? Probably not all, but most. Some probably also came from Oceania and other parts of Asia. Perhaps some came in from Europe by boat. Most likely a polyglot of races and cultures by the time of European discovery(?). As for the dating, there are buffalo pens in Southern Illinois bluffs that have been dated back to about 8,000 years ago. The real limit to human habitation in America was most likely ferocious and gigantic animals, i.e. short faced bears, tigers, etc.

Century Media Records (2012)
"Global Flatline" delivers pretty much everything you'd expect from a top flight, experienced group of campaigners like Aborted. Technically, the guys know how to get around their instruments with disappearing up their own backsides. The production is crisp and modern, catching all of the power and brutality but also percussive nuances and details of the well integrated samples. This means you can really get into the more extreme aspects of the music without becoming overwhelmed. The song-writing successfully provides a dynamic listening experience laden with cool hooks, riffs and fills.
If you are already a fan of this band, you'll probably agree that "Global Flatline" is close to if not as good as anything they've ever done. There is no great change from what came before, but the whole thing has been put together so well that the quality shines through. For those unfamiliar with the band, "Global Flatline" is a release that delivers on so many levels that it is hard not to like. I'd easily recommend this over the last Cannibal Corpse.
Aborted manage to sound fresh and modern even though they stay pretty close to the classic DM formula. Innovation can be found herein, but it is the icing on the cake rather than the fundamentals that have changed. Those who prefer more dirt, gore and death might feel that atmosphere is a bit thin too and these limitations are reflected in the score below.

Seven Days Says:
This ensemble of young adults with a profound creative vision launches its U.S. tour with multicultural selections that reflect a commitment to nonviolence.
Conscious Collaboration
When Israel and Palestine are used in the same sentence, the pairing most often concerns conflict and negativity. An ensemble of young adults ages 17 to 21 aims to change that. Heartbeat, an Israeli-Palestinian youth music collective, brings Jews and Arabs together through a shared love of creative expression and a commitment to nonviolence. The group's original song "Bukra Fi Mishmish" — Arabic for "when pigs fly" — features the instrumental, vocal and song-writing skills of its members. Multilingual lyrics include the following, translated from Hebrew: "We'll break down the walls / and take down the flags / and then we'll discover / a world where everything is possible."

The cartridges are wonderful and are just as good as the hp cartridge except that when I got the cartridge the arm that makes the cartridge work in the printer was broken and I had to take the arm off the old cartridge and put it on the new one. The same thing happened on the black one. If you have a little more quality control to make sure that doesn't happen then I would have no trouble reccomending this product to others.
Stay ahead of the curve and upgrade to a new machine. There are many machines today that offer improved functionality like faster speeds, wireless and ethernet networking options or cost savings features like 2 sided printing and ENERGY STAR ® compliance.

RTEMS Hewlett Packard PA-RISC Applications Supplement
Directives are the application's interface to the executive, and as such their execution times are critical in determining the performance of the application. For example, an application using a semaphore to protect a critical data structure should be aware of the time required to acquire and release a semaphore. In addition, the application designer can utilize the directive execution times to evaluate the performance of different synchronization and communication mechanisms.
The actual directive execution times are reported in the Timing Data chapter of this supplement.

''A Perfect Day for Bananafish'' first appeared in the January 31, 1948, issue of the New Yorker and was collected as the first piece in Nine Stories (1953). The story is the first concerning a member of the fictional Glass family Salinger created, whose members figure in much of his work.
Seymour, the oldest of the Glass children, is Salinger's main character in one of his most elusive pieces of writing. The reader of "Bananafish" learns that Seymour, a veteran of World War II, has had trouble readjusting to civilian life—an understandable problem that thousands of soldiers had to face. However, his suicide in the story's final paragraph shocks most readers and then leaves them scratching their heads, trying to understand why, exactly, Seymour pulled the trigger.
This apparent lack of motive is at the heart of the critical debate on the story. Some readers find Seymour's wife, Muriel, partially to blame, as her self-interest seems to overshadow what should be her wifely concern for her troubled husband. Others view Seymour as something of a guru, a man wise enough to know that his world can only corrupt him and who, therefore, escapes from it. Also plausible is the idea that Seymour is like the bananafish he describes: a man so glutted (with horror or pleasure) that he can no longer survive. Multiple interpretations are possible, which makes the story's meaning ripe for debate, a much-disputed point for both professional critics and casual fans. Regardless of what specific motive a reader assigns to Seymour's suicide, he or she is sure to be involved in Salinger's elaborate game of symbols, colors, and other indirect means of storytelling.

Amy and Brian All Natural Coconut Juice is the "water" from young coconuts. It is pure, clear, and one of the most concentrated sources of electrolytes known. A refreshing, slightly sweet, isotonic beverage, Amy & Brian Coconut Juice has more potassium than a banana and several times more than most sports drinks. When consumed before or after exercise it helps to combat dehydration and fatigue. In Asian countries, where coconuts are common, coconut juice is considered one of the healthiest drinks available. It absorbs quickly into the body because it is very similiar to our body's own chemistry.

Rooms were very quite. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Cozy atmosphere on entire property. Internet came in strong and stayed connected for the most part. TV channels were aplenty and also had music channels that the staff quickly pointed out and even recommended some specific channels that matched the music playing in the lobby.

Cannon and Cash Welcoming baby Copen and Callyn
Howdy Partner! Welcome to Mrs. Hill's
classroom website.
Name: Devin Hill
Grade/Subject: Second
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Howdy! This year is going to be the best yet. Are you ready?
This will be my twelfth year teaching second grade. I graduated high school from McKinney and graduated college from the Univeristy of North Texas.
I live with my husband Will, our two-5 year old twin boys (Cash and Cannon), and our newest set of twins (Copen and Callyn) in the small town of Van Alstyne. They are the light of my life and there's never a dull moment in our household with four kids! Oh, and we have a very fat, lazy cat named Chester who's always getting in trouble for some reason. I'm sure you'll hear some of the "Chester Tales." With my family, I always have something to write about during Writer's Workshop.
I'm always here for any questions or concerns. Please don't hesitate to contact me via phone or email. I look forward to getting to know each of your children. We're going to have an exciting adventure in "Mrs. Hill's Corral."

Milk It
The Hot List: Summer Preview
Click here for more Summer 2008 Hot List picks.
Squealing, sugar-fueled children beg Mom and Dad for tickets to midway rides. Bar-band groupies watch their boyfriends play nighttime concerts on the village green. Police clear the streets for a short parade that features every farm tractor and rescue vehicle in town.
All these are essential components of many a Vermont festival, but if we had to choose a true festival flavor, it would be a toss-up between fried bread dough and Italian sausage. Except in Enosburg. There, milk matters.
Dubbed "four cowlossal days of udderly good fun," the 52nd Annual Vermont Dairy Festival hosts thousands of milk-mustached visitors during the first full weekend of June. These four days may not appeal to the lactose-intolerant, but they offer something for pretty much everyone else.
Vermont's answer to the question "Got Milk?" kicks off Thursday, with the always-sold-out Dairy Festival Scholarship Pageant at the Enosburg Opera House. Aside from the standard rides, games and concerts (Keeghan Nolan and Nobby Reed, anyone?), highlights include the mid-morning parade on Saturday, fireworks that night, and the Milk Run 10K race on Sunday — followed, of course, by the horse pull and children's pedal pull.
The culminating event is another festival staple: cow-plop bingo Sunday at 5 p.m. Picture an oversized bingo card on the ground and a cow hoofing over it. Guess the square where Bessie releases her breakfast, and you win cash. What's not to love?
Oh, almost forgot: There's a dairy baking contest Saturday at 9 a.m. Mmm-ooo!
"We always have a lot going on," says parade chairman Walter Scott. He notes that the weather gods have historically poured warm sunlight over the proceedings.
"We're hoping for that again this year," Scott avers.

The courage and sacrifice of America's Greatest Generation — those who grew up during the Great Depression and then fought in the world war that followed the War to End All Wars — found its first expression of incredible heroism during the unprovoked attack at Pearl Harbor.
Dec. 6, 2011 — I can say I now know what tooth pain is, and I have some serious sympathy for anyone who has had tooth pain or will experience it in the future.
I have always been a believer in biannual teeth cleaning — the preventative type care to keep my teeth clean, white and healthy. So this tooth problem came as I real shock to me.
This holiday season, we once again challenge you to spend $100 locally.
Two years ago we began challenging our readers to spend $100 locally during the holiday season. With our still sagging economy it's worth making the challenge again for one reason: a number of you have taken it to heart — and it has helped.
I just love this time of year, from the time spent with family and friends around the Thanksgiving table, to the countdown to a new year.
Even though I cringe when Christmas decorations start showing up next to Halloween candy and costumes, I can't help but smile when I see peppermintstick ice cream in the store and when I get my coffee from a red Christmas cup from Starbucks earlier than December.

Widnes Vikings will be boosted by the presence of Gareth Hock as they seek to make history by pulling off a first Super League victory over St Helens at the Halton Stadium tomorrow.
Saints have won the last 15 matches between the sides, going back to Widnes' 20-17 triumph in the old Stones Bitter Championship in April 1994.
But they lost at home to Huddersfield Giants for the first time in the Super League era on the opening weekend and will be desperate to avoid further embarrassment under new coach Nathan Brown.
That will make the visitors even more dangerous, according to Vikings coach Denis Betts.
"I'm hoping they can play that badly again but I just can't see it," said Betts. "They've got too many good players and they're too well coached. The response could be massive, we know that.
"Saints are a better side than they showed last week but we can only look at ourselves. We've got a good bunch of players and the players coming back will increase our quality."
The Vikings have experienced outside backs Shaun Briscoe and Cameron Phelps back from injury to help offset the loss of youngster Danny Craven with a broken collarbone but most eyes will be on England forward Hock, who has recovered from shoulder surgery in time to make his debut.
Former England captain Jamie Peacock will make his 200th appearance for Leeds at Castleford tomorrow, when the Rhinos will come up against former team-mate Weller Hauraki, who will be making his home debut for the Tigers.
"I do still keep in touch with the boys so it will be a bit weird after playing for a couple of years at Leeds but that's behind me now," Hauraki said.
"I'm playing for a new club and it will be a good test for me. I don't feel I have a point to prove. I just want to go out there, play some good footy and do what Basil (coach Ian Millward) tells me to do.
"It's a derby so it'll be massive but it all comes down to how we go about things on the day. I'm sure it's going be an awesome atmosphere - I can't wait."
Huddersfield will be looking to build on their impressive opening win over St Helens when they host London Broncos tomorrow.
Giants coach Paul Anderson has included new signing Ukuma Ta'ai in his 19-man squad, just four days after he flew in from Auckland, after being impressed by his performance in training.
Anderson said: "Ukuma gives us some more options. We don't yet know his best position as it's very, very early days for him but he has come to play and looks in reasonable shape.
"He will clearly get much fitter as time progresses but at this stage he is in my thoughts for London. I will clarify the starting line-up and bench after our final session and announce it on the day of the game as usual."
Hull FC and Bradford Bulls will play their round-two fixture tomorrow afternoon after being thwarted by motorway chaos on Friday night.
The match at the KC Stadium was postponed as Hull found themselves with just 10 senior players by kick-off time after a section of the M62 was closed due a serious accident in the rush hour.
The Bradford team made it belatedly to the KC Stadium after being given a police escort through a diversion and the kick-off was put back from 8pm to 8.30pm and then 9.15pm, but nine of Hull's players who are based in West Yorkshire remained stranded, as well as hundreds of Bulls supporters.

I've been dead set on getting a Tacon motor and Hobbywing ESC combo for a while now but the Tacon motors do not seem to be in stock anywhere anymore and the people I've spoken to have no idea when replacements are coming back in.
So I need another combo. I dont need massive power or speed and I dont need a huge bill! I do need something for bashing that is reliable, smooth and will survive a 4 year old.
MY LHS suggested the following:
SCT Castle combo $159
SV2 + Racers Edge 3600KV $125
Stock Velineon ESC and motor $200
Mamba Pro combo $259
They did not like my suggestion of a Hobby wing ESC and motor. They said the motors are fine but the ESC's are junk. Is this true?
I really like this http://www.hobbypartz.com/car.html for the price but I was steered towards the $125 combo above instead.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Industrially produced nanoparticles offer potential for a wide range of products. Further research regarding the impacts of nanoparticles on people and the environment is needed. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funds projects together with industry to fill knowledge gaps and to initiate measures to identify and minimize risk. The goal of these projects is to find methods for an early assessment of the impact of nanoparticles on human health and the environment.
Within the framework of
, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research has called for proposals on "NanoNature: Nanotechnologies for Environmental Protection – Benefits and Impacts" and "NanoCare: Impacts of Synthetic Nanomaterials on Man". By filling some further gaps in our knowledge on the effects of nanomaterials on man and the environment as well as on the related interactions, these projects will contribute to ensuring a safe, responsible use of nanotechnology in the German industry. In 2009-2012 20 projects are supported and be funded by a total sum of EUR 36 million.
NanoCare intends to further investigate systematically the human-toxicological effects and interactions occurring during the production, processing, and application of synthetic nanomaterials. External and internal exposures will be quantified, material-specific toxicity parameters will be determined, and mechanisms of action will be identified to detect and predict possible toxic effects on humans along the life cycle of the investigated nanomaterials.
NanoCare projects: CarbonBlack, CarboTox, NanoExpo, NanoGEM, NanoKon, NanoMed, Nanosilver particles
NanoNature is aimed at strengthening potential nanomaterial market segments in the environmental field and at enhancing the export of environmentally relevant materials and technologies. In addition, systematic analyses will be carried out and adapted measuring methods will be developed to assess the release, distribution, fate, and effect of synthetic nanoparticles and nanomaterials in the environment.
NanoNature projects: Fe-NANOSIT, NADINE, NanoFlow, NanoKiesel (finished), NanoMembrane, NanoPharm, NanoPurification, NanoSan, Nano-SCR, NanoTrack, NAPASAN, UMSICHT
The EU also funds many projects on the effects of nanoparticles on human health and the environment.
The cluster NanoSafety published
since 2010
a summary of projects funded:
"Compendium of Projects in the European NanoSafety Cluster", 2nd version February 2011, updated 3rd version February 2012 (pdf-documents for download).
QNano, the European Union-funded infrastructure for nanomaterial safety testing. A four year project which begins in February 2011 comprises 27 top European analytical & experimental facilities in nanotechnology, medicine and natural sciences. It aims to create an integrated hub to support Europe's nanosafety research community.
The Swiss National Research Programme "Opportunities and Risks of Nanomaterials" (NRP 64) hopes to be able to bridge the gaps in our current knowledge on nanomaterials. Opportunities and risks for human health and the environment in relation to the manufacture, use and disposal of synthetic nanomaterials need to be better understood.
