0 Morris Oxford's For Sale
About Oxford
Morris Motors Ltd were responsible for the production of the Morris Oxford, spanning from 1913 until 1972 it was classed as a midsize car.
The style of the Morris was how we remember cars from the 1900's and those made famous in the black and white movies of yesteryear. A common feature was having no roof, the spare wheel being attached to the side of the car and the headlights fixed to the front wheel arches.
The first Morris Oxford to be produced was the "bullnose", which ran from 1913 until 1914. There were only 1,302 cars produced during this time. The two door tourer came complete with a 1 litre side valve straight four engine. The reason for its name was as a result of the rounded engine top, which was a key feature of the car.
The 1919 model was enlarged to cater for four seats, whilst still maintaining the looks of its predecessor. A variety of engines were also made available with the 1.5 litre and 1.8 litre straight four versions. A 2.3 litre straight six was also introduced, though proved to be somewhat unreliable and adversely affected sales.
The third version was released in 1926 and was known as the "Flatnose". Over 32,000 cars were produced across a range of models, with a tourer, saloon, fabric saloon and two door coupe on offer.
Whilst the 1.8 litre straight four engine remained, new 1.9 and 2 litre straight six engines were added to the series. A new four speed gearbox was also introduced in 1932.
The 1934 version of the Morris Oxford was a larger and heavier car and came with a 2 litre straight six engine as standard. A 2.5 litre engine was also available as an upgrade. The style of the car mirrored that seen in the black and white Al Capone films.
The Morris Oxford of 1948 saw a complete redesign to a more curved and bubble shape, compared to the straight lines and angles of its predecessors. Over 150,000 cars were produced across the two door estate and four door saloon models. The car came with a standard 1.5 litre straight four engine.
The 1954 and 1956 versions of the car did not differ greatly from the 1948 model. The engine was tweaked slightly to produce 50 bhp, which gave it a top speed of 74 mph and a 0-62 of 28.9 seconds. Only 87,000 cars were produced, having seen a decline from previous models.
In 1957 an estate model was introduced, with 58,000 produced. The car used the same 1.5 litre engine as seen in previous models. The most iconic feature about this version was that it featured fuel caps on both sides of the car, which was rather novel.
The fifth instalment in 1959 saw a facelift, with the 1961 model following it. The car utilised the same 1.5 litre engine as seen in previous models and was available in both saloon and estate models. Whilst the 1959 model only sold 87,000 the last version sold a staggering 210,000, making it one of the most successful models built.

UPDATE 1-Michigan Atty General Rejects Union Bargaining-rights Ballot Bid By DAVID BAILY Aug. 4, 2012 Reuters http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/08/04/usa-campaign- michigan-idINL2E8J3EOR20120804 Aug 3 (Reuters) - A proposed referendum that would enshrine the right to collective bargaining in Michigan's state constitution is too complicated for the ballot, the state's top legal official said, dealing a major blow to the labor movement's campaign for the measure. Attorney General Bill Schuette, a Republican, said in a legal analysis obtained by the Detroit Free Press and published on Friday that Michigan ballot measures are limited to 100 words and the implications of the proposed measure are so numerous that it would be impossible to communicate them. "Just to give a single word to each constitutional and statutory alteration would require double the allowable words," Schuette wrote. A coalition of unions, supporters of the "Protect Our Jobs" measure, submitted petitions with nearly 700,000 signatures, twice the number needed, to get the measure on the ballot. Petition challenges must be filed by the close of business Aug. 8, and a decision whether to place it before voters by a state election board is expected by mid-August. The coalition includes the AFL-CIO labor federation, the United Auto Workers and the Michigan Education Association. In an analysis prepared at Governor Rick Snyder's request and dated July 20, Schuette said the proposed referendum could limit or eliminate parts of 18 provisions in the state constitution and 170 state laws, and raises fundamental questions about the future control of private and public employment in Michigan. In addition to publishing the analysis, The Free Press posted a copy on its website. The union organizers responded quickly Friday. "Silencing the voice of all voters on the basis of a faulty legal argument defies the spirit of democracy and protections offered to citizens by our constitution," Dan Lijana, spokesman for the petition organizers, said in a statement. DIVISIVE ISSUE Snyder's spokeswoman, Sara Wurfel, said the governor had not taken an official position and sought the attorney general's opinion because there have been many questions about what the measure would and would not do. "He has been pretty clear all along that he believes measures like this have a tendency to be divisive and we actually already use collective bargaining in Michigan and have a long history of doing so," Wurfel said. Only a handful of states, including Florida and Missouri, protect union activity such as collective bargaining in state constitutions, while 23 states have "right to work" laws that bar employers from requiring workers to pay fees for union representation. Snyder is also on record opposing a "right to work" law. Earlier in 2012, Indiana became the latest state to adopt a "right to work" law and the first in the industrial Midwest. Unions also suffered a setback in Wisconsin earlier this summer when Republican Governor Scott Walker survived a recall election prompted by a new state law he championed that severely reduced the power of public-sector unions such as teachers. The Michigan ballot measure would cripple efforts to pass a "right to work" law in the state, which has been hit hard by the decades-long struggles of Detroit-based automakers. Critics say the Michigan measure would discourage businesses from bringing new jobs to the state and encourage some to leave. Experts say the proposal likely would increase voter turnout in the fall presidential election. The United Auto Workers union is a significant though diminished political force in Michigan following heavy job losses in the auto industry. Unions also are asking Michigan voters to repeal a law that widened the powers of state-appointed emergency managers to cut spending in municipalities and school districts deemed to be experiencing a "financial emergency." Such spending cuts have resulted in the loss of union jobs among teachers, police officers and firefighters. The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday ruled that the emergency manager law repeal question should be on the ballot. That law has been used to take over more than half a dozen financially ailing cities and school systems in the state in recent years and to void union contracts. ____________________________________________ PortsideLabor aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

FortisTCI gives $10,000 for 2012 Science Fair |
Friday, 24 February 2012 17:45 | |||
Continuing its support of youth and education, FortisTCI gave $10,000 to the Ministry of Education, Youth, Culture and Sports to ensure students countrywide have the opportunity to take part and represent their schools in this year's Science Fair. This is the second year that ForitsTCI has signed on to assist with making this scholastic event a success, and the company hopes to continue supporting the effort. "FortisTCI is an avid fan of education," said Vice President of Corporate and Customer Services Allan Robinson. "We are constantly looking for outlets that promote the study of science and math. So as you can imagine, it is important to us that we are a part of bringing together young scholars in the Turks and Caicos Islands for that purpose." Organizers expect to see an array of displays this year from students under the theme "Students of the TCI — Exploring the Scientific Method." "Students are excited about their projects, and that is what makes this such a big deal," Director of Education Edgar Howell said. "We are inspiring students to learn and nurturing those young minds who are curious about the way in which the world around them works." The contribution will be used to purchase project tools and supplies, travel and stay for students and teachers participating from neighbouring islands, meals through the course of the two-day event, as well as awards and prizes. The fair will take place March 7-8 in downtown Providenciales at the Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex. It is open to the public at no cost.

Poyet urges Vicente to return
5:00pm Tuesday 3rd July 2012 in Sport By Brian Owen
Gus Poyet has called on Vicente to respect his contract and hammer out his differences with Albion.
But the Seagulls boss is not sure when he will see his absent playmaker.
Vicente was still in Spain as pre-season training was turned up a level yesterday.
The former Valencia star failed to agree a new deal with Albion and is unhappy they activated an option extending his contract until next June.
Vicente's agent Victor Oñate has declared his client will not return to Sussex until differences with Albion are sorted out.
Poyet is reluctant to comment at length on the saga but last night told The Argus: "When a player is under contract you expect him to be here.
"Then there can be unhappiness, there can be decisions, there can be negotiations, there can be problems, there can be discussions, there can be 100 things between a player and a club.
"That's normal because not everything is always perfect. But we will deal with it internally."
Vicente is being strongly linked in Spain with a move to Elche providing his agent can engineer a way out of his commitments at The Amex.
Asked if he expected to see Vicente at Albion at any stage, Poyet added: "I'm not sure. I cannot answer that question.
"There are too many things in the press. The only thing we know is he didn't turn up and is showing willingness to leave.
"But it is out of my hands. He's under contract."

I've downloaded GOONG MANGA with english subs until volume 10 chapter 1, is anyone know where can i download the next chapter of volume 10 with english subs ?
Many thanks.
BTW, How can CG pregnant ? As far when I watch the movie, Shin don't even touch her except kissing and hugging ? So anyone could tell which episode showing that they really become husband and wife ?
Also why did CG leave the palace at episode 24 ? Also, do they ever divorce ? since the marriage at Macau is only repeat their promise to live together forever ?
Does anyone know the story of season 2 ?
I've downloaded episode 20 - 24 without english subs from youtube? is there anyone who can summarizes the story for those episodes?
Sorry with those questions ....
i luv this song!!!!!!!! actually i like all lee seung ki's songs
Does anyone else think that the parts with the adults in GOONG is boooooorrrrrrrrrrrrinnnnnnnnnnnnggggg?
yepOriginally Posted by oppas4all
i fast forwarded all those parts with their parents drinkin tea or sum thing
Actually, there are a lot boring parts in this series, the scenes with the adults are especially boring. I found a lot of scenes to be unnecessary as well, particularly the scenes about Chaegyung's family. Her parents are kind of annoying. The series overall is okay but not as addictive as I've heard it to be. After a while it just gets very draggy. I've stopped watching at episode 18 and am not sure if should bother continuing it.Originally Posted by oppas4all
i stopped at episode 13 or 14 n started watchin it again at episode 16 or 17 but stopped watchin it again at episode 18 lolOriginally Posted by botan
I just finished this series and I absolutely love it.
I like Yul more at the beginning, but it's pretty clear that Shin is destined to be with CK. Yul's character reminds me of the younger brother/nephew in Lovers in Paris. I guess it's always sad that in such a role, he never gets the girl.
And yes, this series is nice in that there's no leukemia, deaths. Just one car accident.
Is there a second season to this? I saw the Second season, but the lady at the shop said it's the later episodes of series one. Series one ends with episode 24, right? So how long is the Second Season.
I think the best place to shop for DVD is to go Poh Kim in Singapore or maybe Carrefour. THe prices they sell in Singapore is ridiculously high for DVD.
But I like itOriginally Posted by oppas4all
Like how I enjoyed the political talk in Jewel In The Palace
Especially scenes with the Grandmother and Shin's mom ,
but the dad is just blah and I don't like those scenes with Yul and mom
I love this show. Hopelessly addicted to this and I want to watch it again. I hope the DVD have good subs. THe story is good, it got dragging in some parts. BUt basically the story and acting is okay. Reminds me of MG in some ways. The costumes and set design is something to note really rich in color and detail.
Hey, I am watching this series too. I don't think it's draggy. I think overall, it's good. However, I am waiting for the person to upload ep 20 on youtube with english sub so I can understand what they're talking about. Do you guys like CG's clothes in this series? I really think they're cool looking. I hope everyone will continue watching it. It's getting good.
im currently watching this k drama...and all i can say, is that its one of the best...

Gold soars but be careful when selling your Jewelry, warns BBB
Monday, August 8th, 2011As stock markets plunge in the wake of the U.S. credit rating downgrade, gold prices continue to soar, now topping $1,700 an ounce.
This new high and increasing demand for the precious metal makes it very tempting for consumers to trade their unwanted jewelry for cash. Options to sell gold online, at in-home 'gold parties', or through local jewelers continue to gain in popularity, but the BBB of Southern Arizona would like consumers to think before they try to cash in on the gold rush.
"Selling old or unwanted gold is a growing trend for consumers during these uncertain economic times," says Kim States, BBB President. "Whether you do it through a gold party, over the Internet, or through a local jeweler, consumers need to get informed before they sell their jewelry."
BBB suggests consumers consider the following before selling your gold:
Find a trustworthy appraiser. For an appraisal, if possible, go to someone locally whom you know and trust. Check with the Better Business Bureau at www.tucson.bbb.org. The BBB suggests obtaining two or three appraisals to compare prices, prior to any sale.
The true price of gold may not be what you receive. If gold is worth $1,700 per ounce, you aren't going to be paid $1,700 for every ounce of gold you have. Ask what you will be paid (if an online company, make sure you ask for specifics and give details on items you'll be sending). Understand that the ounce quote is for pure gold only. For instance, 14-karat gold is composed of just 58.5 per cent gold. (more…)

August 01, 2006
This is a fairly new treasure but it's going to be in my family forever I'm sure. This is my Willow Tree nativity. The entire set. I've had it just a little under two years.
I love Willow Tree figurines. The first time I saw them was in my mother-in-law's oncologist's office. Several angels were on display in the waiting room and I later learned each one of them was a gift from a cancer patient to the nurses. Nurses who work in an oncologist's office are special people.
I liked the angels so much I looked them up on the web when I got home. Right away I saw the nativity collection. Then I saw the price. You can't buy it one piece at a time. The collection is actually three sets (the basic nativity, the wise men and the shepherd/barn animals). And the wooden creche, star backdrops and angel of prayer and stands are sold separately, too. So I sort of sighed and decided to forget about it.
Over the next two years, I occasionally went back to the web site and looked at the collection. But it really wasn't something I could do. We still had a daughter in college and we were getting ready for a big move across the state to relocate to western Colorado. We had no extra money, especially for something I didn't really need.
Rob and I made several trips back and forth over the mountains trying to find a home and get the move accomplished. During the last trip, we were both just tired and tense. We were waiting to hear about the house. We were staying in yet another hotel. And we were dreading the move. So we decided to kill the afternoon, while we were waiting, at the mall.
I no longer even remember what started it but we were snapping at each other. Something Rob said hit me the wrong way and I acted like a big baby - a spoiled brat actually. I started crying right there in public and told him I had to get away from him for a little while. We agreed to meet at the food court an hour later. Then I marched into the biggest, nicest department store at the mall and proceeded to buy out the Clinique counter. I really was acting ridiculous - one of my worst menopausal moments.
When we met at the food court I was still pouting. He didn't say a word about the big department store bag full of Clinique. We agreed to go back to the hotel and see if the call we were waiting for had come in. As we were leaving, he said, "Let's stop in at Hallmark for a minute. I saw something I want to show you." I said, "You know what? No. I'm tired. Let's just hit Burger King and go back to the hotel." He said, "I really want you to see this." So I continued to pout and sniff and stomped over to Hallmark with him.
When we walked into the store, the woman behind the counter reached behind her and sat three huge bags on the counter and gave Rob a big smile. I just stood there and thought, what on earth could he have bought in here that fills these three huge bags?
He took me over to the counter and handed me the first bag. When I looked inside, I knew what he'd done. I almost fainted when I realized Rob had bought me the entire Willow Tree nativity. Without even thinking, because, you know, I can be a smart alec occasionally, I said, in front of everyone in the store, "I'm calling the attorney. I'm stopping the paperwork."
We walked out of that store smiling and happy again (especially me.)
And I learned a lesson. It's so easy to take people you love for granted. Rob's the love of my life and I was acting like I couldn't stand to be near him. He felt so bad about hurting my feelings, he did something amazingly special like this to apologize to me. He didn't have to do that. But I love that he knew how much it would mean to me to have something I never thought I'd have.
I have a beautiful hutch from my mother-in-law's estate. The only things in it are the Willow Tree figurines my family has given me since I fell in love with them in the doctor's office. But I'll never put the nativity in it. It's out in full view in my living room. Every time I see it I'm reminded of the birth of our Lord. And I'm also reminded, constantly, how special my husband is and how lucky I am.

That is a great story! And a great husband. What a beautiful set. I love these figurines also, but don't have any.
- Sarah's In the Midst of It said...
What a beautiful nativity! I've never seen it before. Les & Jer gave me my first WT figurine before we had Caiden (a couple holding their new baby), and Chris has given me another one of a mom holding a bigger and little boy--Grayson knocked the head off of the big boy, which vexes Caiden to no end:) And we gave Dad one of a grandfather holding his grandson. I love them:) And now that I have a little pink somebody in my house, I'm going to have to start hunting for the girly ones!
But oh, I do love that nativity scene--maybe for my anniversary? - 7:37 AM
- Barb said...
Dawn, when I let my family know how much I like the Willow Tree figurines, I suddenly started getting them for my birthday, Mother's Day, Christmas.....the first one I received was from my sister Bev. She sent me Heart and Soul for my birthday. I love it - it's two young women sitting on a bench talking, just like she and I would do if we were together.
Sarah - super glue! I have one praying angel on an angel stand that's been knocked over twice now and had her head broken off. Use one dot of superglue and you can't even see the fracture. Since my nativity sits out all the time, I keep the super glue handy! - 7:47 AM
- Michelle said...
I love this treasure! I love the story behind it, the lessons learned...what a sweet, special, thoughtful thing he did for you - buying the whole set when you were in the midst of a fight!
I also collect the Willow Tree angels and give them as gifts too. The nativity set is on my wish list...my DH has no problem spending that kind of money and would buy it in a heart beat, but I'm the one that cringes at the price LOL
Maybe one day - I'll start with each set instead of all three ... for now I'll just settle for the ones I do have :) - 8:12 AM
- Barb said...
Michelle, I hope you get that starter set. It's funny that my husband walked into that store and bought the whole collection for me. I would have been over the moon with the basic nativity. He really surprised me that day; so much so that I almost took all that Clinque back for a refund. Almost - not quite. :-)
- Susanne said...
Wonderful treasure and an even more wonderful story behind it! I love the willow tree stuff too!
- The Roaming Southerner said...
My mom has this nativity (she goes nativity crazy) and I love it, but I love the story behind it even more. My husband and I have moments like these and even when something special (like that great nativity) doesn't come out of it...its nice to have that moment when you realize how much you love the man that God made for you.
- Sue said...
I love that you keep the nativity set out year round! My daughter and I each collect Willow Tree and neither one of us has this set..
Thanks for sharing your loving lesson... - 9:02 AM
- BooMama said...
What a sweet, sweet story. Made me a little teary-eyed. :-)
- Addie said...
That is a treasure! Willow Tree is beautiful, but the love behind the gift is what is the best. :-)
- PEA said...
Well, geez, you just had to get me crying huh? lol What a wonderful touching story behind your nativity set...I bought a WT figurine for my son Shawn & Wendy when they got engaged and they love it. I don't have any myself but I have always admired them...they seem to have one for any occasion you can think of! I love it that you keep the nativity set out all year long...lovely!!
- andria said...
I love Willow Tree as well, I had no idea they had a nativity scene. That is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
- Overwhelmed! said...
Oh, I love Willow Tree figurines as well! I bought my first one in Ireland when we got married 3 years ago!
This nativity set is beautiful! - 10:27 AM
- Jane said...
Oh, what a beautiful story behind your willow tree set. I love willow tree and I have a little praying angel on my bedside table, to remind me of the importance of prayer. I have had my "eye" on the nativity set for a long time now!!!!! Thanks Barb, for calling back and for your lovely comment on my blog.
- Beck said...
That's so beautiful - and what a great story! My sister-in-law collects the Willow Tree figurines. Perhaps I could get her a couple of pieces of the Nativity set for Christmas.
- Barb said...
Susanne, thank you for appreciating the story behind it. That's why it's really special to me.
Roaming Southerner, I've known several people who collect nativities, including, I believe, my niece Sarah. And you're right - God created this man for me.
Sue, I not only keep it out, I bought some beautiful artificial spruce branches at Pottery Barn to spread all around it and put strands of little white lights throughout them. Looks beautiful at night. I plug the lights in ever single night. Maybe you and your daughter could give each other the starter set for a special occasion, like Christmas? What a wonderful Christmas gift - the nativity, where Christmas started.
Didn't mean to make you teary eyed Boomama. I love that you're so soft hearted. And Addie, it was the love behind his gift that almost brought me to my knees.
Pea, I love giving Willow Trees as gifts. You really can find one that's completely perfect for any occasion. When Krissy announced to us that she was pregnant, I rushed out and bought Cherish for her. It's a pregnant woman resting her hands lovingly on her tummy.
Andria, the photo doesn't do it justice. You should see how lovely it is.
Overwhelmed, Ireland? Did you get married in Ireland? Oh my gosh. I would LOVE to visit Ireland.
Jane, thank you for your sweet comment. And it was a pleasure to visit your blog. I'll visit again. - 11:01 AM
- Tammy said...
that is a great story...inspiring to know we can get through those menopausal moments with the help of loving hubby's!
- firstborn said...
i was very touched by your story & your wonderful treasure...thank you for sharing this!
- Faith said...
What a wonderful story and a beautiful treasure. you are right - the story and the treasure will be in your family for years!! thanks for sharing1
- Barbie said...
What a great story. I was laughing and crying at the same time. What a thoughtful husband you have.
- Jen said...
- Karla said...
Uh! My mouth fell open when I saw this. I LOVE Willow Tree! I goo and gah every time I see that nativity set in the store (and it has to stay in the store *sigh*. :)
A great treasure! Treasure certainly doesn't have to be "old" to be a treasure! Thanks for posting this! And thanks for stopping by to check mine out. :)
Enjoy your Willow Tree! I might just come back at Christmas (and before then, I'm sure) and live vicariously through your blog! :) - 2:40 PM
- Barb said...
Tammy, my poor husband's helped me through LOTS of menopausal moments. He's got the patience of a saint.
Firstborn, Faith and Barbie, thank you for your sweet comments. This treasure means the world to me.
Jen, the figurine you have is called Cherish and it's the perfect gift to give an expectant mommy. I'm sure you treasure it.
Karla, I'll post the photo again at Christmas. I drooled over it for years before I got it so I know how you feel. I would have eventually gotten it, one set at a time, had Rob not given it to me. - 3:52 PM
- Brenda said...
Two treasures in one! I love that you display it year-round and the reason for it.
Curmudgeon, my foot. Our husbands are cut from the same cloth, I do believe. That is so like something mine would do. My mom told me just this weekend "Tell Carl I appreciate that he's so good to you." Makes you wanna cry, don't it?
xoxoxo - 4:59 PM
- Barb said...
Beck! I'm sorry. I knew I'd skipped someone. If you get your sister-in-law part of this nativity for Christmas, she'll probably think she's the luckiest person in the world. And the great thing about the story is that it made me stop and realize how blessed I am to have married a man like my husband.
Brenda, I really am messing up his curmudgeon repurtation, aren't I? And your mom is probably very grateful you met Carl. We all want our daughters to be married to a good man. xoxoxo - 6:04 PM
- Mommy Dearest said...
I really love your story. What a special husband you have.
Dawn - 8:51 PM
- Andrea said...
I love these angels too. My family give them to me for all the "holidays" too. I totally drool over the nativity but right now it's just too expensive! I was so excited to see it as your treasure!
- Karla said...
Thanks for the compliment to my blog design. :) I forwarded it to the person responsible. Laura (www.swankmom.com) designed that for me. I am very pleased with it.
I meant to tell you also (honestly, I did!) that I like yours as well. It's calming yet speaks to the turmoil (for lack of a better word) I often deal with on the inside. And I can almost feel the sand in between my toes. Ahhhh. Love it! - 11:32 AM
- Barb said...
Thank you, Dawn. Believe me, I know I'm blessed. The man puts up with a lot sometimes!
Andrea, I love the figurines my family gives me. Every single one of them is special. And I've actually bought myself one - Thinking of You - an angel holding a seashell to her ear. I love all things ocean so I couldn't resist it.
Karla, I've seen a lot of Laura's work and she does a great job. Susie at Bluebird blogs did mine. She got it exactly perfect. So it thrills me when someone tells me they like it. Thank you. - 2:57 PM
- Barb said...
You know, it occurred to me I should mention that my putting the Mr. Linky thing at the end of this post probably isn't proper etiquette. Faithful Mommy is our hostess. I did it this one time because I just learned how to do it and was sort of trying it out. But next week I'll make sure all the linking is done at Faith's site. I'm honestly not sure about the etiquette but like my mama always said, if you're not sure it's probably not a good idea.
- Chappyswife said...
That is a beautiful story to pass on with the Nativity set including that you first saw them because you were going to the doctor with your mother-in-law.
- Barb said...
Thank you for noticing that paragraph, Chappyswife. The first angels that came out, with the bronze looking wire wings, just touched me and I have several of them. But what really touched me was that people who were living with cancer were so appreciative of the nurses helping them, they filled that waiting room up with these sweet angels.
I learned while caring for my mother-in-law, cancer patients are LIVING with cancer, not dying of cancer. Such a positivie attitude and the angels just seemed to express it. - 8:14 PM
- Toni said...
Thanks for sharing that story. We've all been there with our husbands, but we don't all own up to it. It's pretty typical of me to get sharp with Roy, and I have to remind myself: "Wait a minute. I ADORE this man. Why do I expect him to put up with my shortcomings and then give him no grace for his?" This marriage thing is work! ;-) And worth it.

Field Museum research faces uncertain future.

Frankenstein's Cat
One of Nature's Summer Book Picks One of Publishers Weekly's Top Ten Spring 2013 Science Books For centuries, we've toyed with our creature companions,...

After years of financial woes, the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois, is slashing US$3 million from its annual budget for science operations, which include a $10-million program for research on the institution's collection of some 25 million specimens of fossils, plants and animals. Museum president Richard Lariviere unveiled the cuts to museum staff on 18 December as part of a plan to reduce the museum's total budget by $5 million next year.
For some in the scientific community, the changes signal the end of an era. "It's one of the great research institutions in comparative zoology, biodiversity and natural history, and it has been one of the leading centers of research for more than 100 years," says James Hanken, director of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "There's no way the Field Museum will be able to maintain its position of prominence under those circumstances."
Endowments for museums and universities across the country have been hit hard by the economic recession, but the Field Museum has been pushed to its financial limits in part by recent expansion projects, including the $65-million Collections Resource Center, a storage and laboratory facility that opened in 2005.
"We took on a lot of debt, more than we could sustain, to do some really exciting things, but now we're paying for it," says Mark Westneat, a Field Museum curator and chair of zoology.
Despite weathering hiring freezes and repeated budget cuts in the past few years, Field Museum scientists are reeling from the latest announcement, which they feel may cut into crucial scientific capabilities.
"We've already cut all the fat off the bone," says Westneat.
The budget cuts will be accompanied by the dissolution, on 1 January, of the 120-year-old institution's classical academic departments — zoology, botany, geology and anthropology — and by the shuffling of member scientists into a new, leaner organization, broadly titled Science and Education.
No plans have been released about how the cuts will be applied. "There will be staff input on all the recommendations," says Debra Moskovits, who will head the new organization.
But most scientists believe layoffs and incentivized retirements are likely to have a big role. "Morale is extremely low," says Peter Makovicky, curator and chair of geology at the Field Museum. "I would imagine that there will be a lot of résumé polishing in the near future."
At present, the museum employs 168 science staff, 27 of whom are curators — scientists who collect specimens from around the world and maintain research labs to study the museum's collection. Much like academic professors, some curators are tenured, but others are not.
At the president's request, Makovicky and other members of a special museum committee have begun the formal process of declaring 'financial exigency' — an emergency status that would allow for layoffs of tenured scientists at the world-class institution.
"To have that put on the table is frightening," says Corrie Moreau, assistant curator of zoology and one of four 'pre-tenure' curators at the museum.

LOL that horrible.
Yep, it's wonderfully horrible lol.
It's funny because it's true?
I do feel that on average if a persons iq is above average they would tend not to buy that buttered up bullshit that is religion
Arggh. I do know that people like to think of themselves as above average in regards to intelligence, but I would urge people to be careful in regards to linking intelligence with atheism and vice versa.
Please be aware that 95% of all people think that they are above average in regards to their intelligence. Any person that knows a little bit of mathematics would therefor conclude that most people have to be deluded in regards to their perceived higher (then average) intelligence.
Atheism means without (a belief in) god(s). Nothing more, you can be a complete idiot and you can be an atheist at the same time. In countries where religion is not as self evident (Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium) there is nothing that indicates that atheists are in general more intelligent than theists are. Likewise in countries such as Saudi Arabia and the US it takes one or more of several characteristics to escape from religion, intelligence being one of them, albeit it not a necessary condition. People of lesser intelligence can still escape from religion by being skeptical and/or brave.
I'm sick and tired of hearing atheists discuss how intelligent "we" atheists are, BS! Do you know that most NewAge hippies in my country for instance are considered to be atheists? Seriously, stop touting your own horn, stop being proud of what you think you are and get real.
I don't buy it. I live around a bunch of good ole boys. A lot never even finished school. I have talked to some of them and they don't buy into the Jebus or religious game. They can be highly skeptical about invisible beings. And you would be mistaken to consider them "slow" or feeble minded; some of them are sharp as a whip. Unfortunately they are a minority as fundamentalist Christianity still "rules the roost" around here.
Meh, I've seen communists and even racist dumbasses here, I can only agree with Rob. But I have to say that when you're an atheist, the theists do look a lot more retarded by comparison.
I'm not a communist, just a hippie :) Can't we all just love each other and the world? Just sing with me "Imagine all the people, imagine no religion" :)
Just sing with me "Imagine all the people
Reread that and remember who you're talking to Nate :P
babies come into this world atheist so proof it is not tantamount to a high IQ.
But on the other hand belief in an inviable super being who rapes maids in order to give birth to itself and then must have itself killed in order to rectify itself to its creations who apparently have hurt its feelings, does imply a weak and deluded mind

As F1 gears up for an intense countdown to the season finale, Michael Schumacher is relishing the first of the flyaway races, the Singapore GP.
Having only featured on the calendar since 2008, Schumacher, who returned to the sport in 2010 with Mercedes, has only contested two races at the Marina Bay circuit. And neither was kind to the German.
His first night race saw the seven-time World Champion finish down in 13th place after suffering damage in a crash with another driver while last season he retired after slamming into the back of Sergio Perez's Sauber.
This season, though, Schumacher is hoping for better and his first World Championship points under lights.
"Singapore is a one-off in lots of ways, with the city, racing at night and the circuit itself," he said. "It's a brilliantly unusual race.
"At first sight, everything seems more relaxed because the action happens at night, but of course it's not like that at all.
"The reality is that you have to work hard to stay on European time and in the right bio-rhythms, so that you can perform perfectly in the race - because it's unusual to be competing at this time of day.
"The nice thing is that the circuit is very technically demanding and it's very tricky to get a perfect lap.
"After a reasonably encouraging weekend in Monza, we have good expectations for another promising performance. I'm looking forward to the night race."

Tracy Morgan
NEW YORK — Tracy Morgan has a reputation for being outrageous and brutally funny. From his tenure on Saturday Night Live to his Emmy-nominated turn as Tracy Jordan on 30 Rock, he has endeared himself to audiences, despite his alcohol-related arrests and controversial comments about gays and people with disabilities. Newsday recently spoke to Morgan, 44.
Q: How has 30 Rock changed your life, and how do you feel about the show coming to an end?
A: I think I brought something to the table. Career-wise, it helped — making it better. As far as the show ending (on Jan. 31), it's bittersweet. I'm satisfied that we did great TV for seven years.
Q: You seem to attack everything with boundless positive energy. Where does that stem from?
A: My dad was like that. He survived Vietnam, but he came back and was always upbeat in spirit. But I get down sometimes. It's healthy to get the blues. I'm not chipper and upbeat all the time. I'm human, man. As long as I'm doing my comedy in the spirit of the masters like Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Richard Pryor and George Carlin, then I know I'm on the right track. I'm not a mean-spirited guy.
Q: What do you want to do next?
A: I'd like to see me and Eddie Murphy in a comedy flick or me with Chris Tucker, Ben Stiller or Vince Vaughn. That's the deal. I can do drama, too. I even want to do a musical on Broadway.
Q: Comedians such as Jay Mohr and Jim Breuer do impressions of you in their act. Does that bother you?
A: It's flattering. Let them make a living off of it. I don't mind.
Q: You put a lot of yourself out there in your 2009 book, I Am the New Black. Has airing your issues affected your career?
A: Hopefully, it had an impact on someone else's life. They realize that they aren't the only ones who went through something in life. It has cultivated my personality. I wasn't born on TV or hatched out of an egg. I went through stuff in life. We all go through struggles. That's what life is.
Q: How has your style of stand-up comedy evolved through the years?
A: My career went into TV and movies really early. The talent to be funny was always there; I never lost it. But now I'm mastering the technique. Wait until you see me now. It's technique over talent. Can you dig that? 'Cause that's the stuff!

The Calgary Stampeders locked up one of their own ahead of free agency, announcing the re-signing of import offensive lineman Stanley Bryant.
Bryant suited up for 13 regular season games with Calgary last season, as well as all three of the team's post-season contests.
"I'm pleased that Stanley decided to remain with the Stampeders rather than test free agency," head coach and general manager John Hufnagel said in a team release."The offensive line is a key to the success of any football club and Stanley is an important part of that unit for our club."
The 27-year-old has been with the Stampeders for three seasons and was named the team's nominee for Most Outstanding Lineman in 2011.
"Calgary is where I wanted to be and I'm happy to be coming back," Bryant said in the team statement. "This organization has great fans, great players and great coaches and I'm really glad to be a Stampeder."
The players have spoken. See who they think has the best hands, who is the nastiest and much more in the fourth annual CFL on TSN Player Poll. Check the Results...

Program of Spring 2011 Oral Presentations
WSC Celebration of Scholarship Undergraduate Research Symposium
Tuesday, April 19, 2011, College Center North Ballroom
12:15 Introduction and opening remarks
12:20 McCoy, Kimberly, Ross Metler, and Dr. Jason Mullins. Synthesis of 2-CPG, a Glutamate Analog.
Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) are carrier transmembrane proteins that primarily translocate L-glutamate across the lipid bilayer of neuronal and glial cells. These carriers remove glutamate from the synaptic cleft and recycle them back to glutamine. Failure to remove glutamate may result in neurotoxicity. Because the structures of transmembrane proteins are often difficult to obtain, the creation of a library of organic compounds that bind the protein may be helpful in better understanding the structure of the binding site. We aim to synthesize novel 2-carboxyphenylglycine (2-CPG), an analog of glutamate, along with similar analoges and analyze them as inhibitors of EAATs1-5. The screening will take place at the University of Montana with the help of off campus professionals.
12:40 Finney, Conor and Dr. Robert Cohen. An interesting property of n-gons inscribed in circles
Inscribe a regular n-gon in the unit circle and choose one of the verticies. Construct a chord from this vertex to all of the other vertices. Surprisingly, the sum of the squares of the chord lengths is 2n. In this talk we will give an elementary proof of this interesting result.
1:00 Fremgen, Aleshia and Dr. Patrick Magee. Herbivore Population Regulation and Culling as a Management Strategy
Populations are regulated by bottom-up or top-down mechanisms. Bottom-up regulation is when food supplies limit herbivore populations, whereas top-down regulation is when a predator limits the herbivore's population size, part of a trophic cascade. Humans are sometimes top predators in ecosystems dominated by large herbivores, especially in the absence of natural apex predators or in fenced refuges. Elephants are large bottom-up regulated herbivores without predators, that dramatically alter their environment as a result of browsing. Many national parks in southern Africa are above carrying capacity and land is limited. Bottom-up regulation has failed to stabilize elephant populations and culling (top-down) is an acceptable solution. In North America, evidence suggests elk are also regulated by bottom-up processes except in the presence of wolves, which cause additive mortality. Both species cause environmental changes when they exceed carrying capacity without management, so culling is an effective method to avoid extensive loss of biodiversity.
1:20 Fremgen, Marcella and Dr. Jessica Young. Bison Conservation Genetics: Keeping All The Pieces
Bison have long been considered an icon of the American West and were important both socially and ecologically. Historically bison performed a number of ecological roles that maintained community heterogeneity and species diversity. Bison herds were large and migratory, but after massive commercial slaughtering in the late 1800s, bison have now been divided into hundreds of small herds. Bison have become ecologically extinct. Issues facing contemporary bison populations include low genetic diversity due to historic bottlenecks, small herd size, cattle gene introgression, and artificial selection of favorable traits. The current bison conservation controversy is to either conserve genetically pure stock (with no cattle gene introgression) or conserve all bison, regardless of gene introgression. In this film, I present the argument that all bison should be conserved to preserve remaining wild alleles for intrinsic reasons.
1:40 Armstrong, Daniel and Dr. Robin Bingham Chemical and Physical Defense Adaptations of Plants
Plants have developed many types of chemical and physical defenses that allow them to coexist with the herbivores that eat them. Without defenses plants would be consumed at exponential rates and the evolution of plants would not progress. The types of defenses adaptations are a result of millions of years of evolution and the arms-race between plants and herbivores. Plants have physical adaptations that include thorns, bark, mimicry, and small irritating hairs that all help to initially avoid contact. Other plants have an intensive array of chemicals that cause affects such as false hormonal growth, irritations or stings, and even death. Each interaction between plants and their consumers initiates a competition that leads to specialization of each species. We have many things to learn and chemicals to discover if we are willing to spend the time and effort that it takes to discover what plants have to offer.
2:00 Cruz, Jesse and Dr. Christina Buchanan. Body Fluctuations of Division II college wrestlers throughout the year
The purpose of this quantitative non-experimental study was to
examine the differences in physical health of Division II college
wrestlers before, during, and after the regular season. Before the
regular season 10 wrestlers were tested to determine their minimum
wrestling weight, which is a new NCAA regulation for wrestling. This
pre test determines the lowest weight each individual can wrestle at
based on percentage of body fat, hydration, and actual body weight.
The results from this pre test were used to examine the physical
fluctuations that these wrestlers went through during the season.
During the competitive season, and 3 weeks after the national
tournament, wrestlers were tested for body weight, percentage of body
fat, blood pressure, and their resting heart rate.
2:20 Mahowald, Mark and Dr. Roger Drake. Teaching Optimism and Positivity in Order to Improving Selective Well Being
Happiness rates in the United States have remained static even as daily life has grown more technologically advanced, and personal freedoms have expanded. It is time for a new view on life that makes well being and happiness top priorities. This paper discusses research into the causes of optimism, helplessness, and explanatory style. Due to the higher level of neuroplasticity in children this paper explores the potential of bringing positive psychology and well being training into the school system. Then it examines some scientifically proven tactics for changing one's level of optimism on a personal and societal level. The role of parents and role models is particularly highlighted, due to their formative impact during adolescence. Also highlighted is gratitude and journaling as stress antidotes
