Bella Abzug

Bella Abzug represented the West Side of Manhattan for three Congressional terms in the 1970's. She brought with her a belligerent, exuberant politics that made her a national character. Often called just Bella, she was recognizable everywhere by her big hats and a voice that Norman Mailer said ''could boil the fat off a taxicab driver's neck.''

She opposed the Vietnam War, championed what was then called women's liberation and was one of the first to call for the impeachment of President Richard M. Nixon. Long after it ceased to be fashionable, she called her politics radical. During her last campaign, for Congress in 1986, she told The New York Times, ''I am not a centrist.''

Ms. Abzug was a founding feminist, and an enduring one. In the movement's giddy, sloganeering early days, Ms. Abzug was, like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem, an icon, the hat bobbing before the cameras at marches and rallies.

Qtel to launch ‘888 USB Modem’ in Qatar; slashes device rates
Qtel to launch ‘888 USB Modem’ in Qatar; slashes device rates

Qtel under its ongoing 'Broadband Anywhere' initiative is all set to introduce a new USB modem into the Qatar market. The new network is considered the most advanced mobile broadband network in the region.

The Qtel 888 USB Modem will offer customers download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps and provide simple "plug-and-play" technology. The modem will provide its customer access to Internet through a network, which will cover all Doha region and virtually all inhabited regions across Qatar, meaning people can surf the web wherever they are.

The company claims that with introduction of high-tech USB device (Qtel's 888 modem) in the region, the people will now be able to surf and download heavy games, movies, music and applications on their laptop or pc.

Further, Qtel has decided to slash the prices of latest device by QR230, making it an extremely affordable QR549 (previously QR779).

Under the limited time offer, the company will offer modem with a choice of four personalized "skin" designs, and provide cool accessory pack, that includes a travel pouch, extension chord, laptop clip and neck lanyard.

Giving details regarding the plan, a company official has informed that Qtel's Mobile Broadband Unlimited price plan provides customers with a 'no limits' data bundle at QR 400 per month. However, there is a one-off QR100 connection fee for new customers.

Apart from Unlimited plan, the company will offer three bundles, through which customer will get a choice for their monthly budget and data download needs.

The Qtel 888 USB modem, which is treated as one of the most user-friendly devices available, will be available at Qtel shops, and participating Premium Dealer outlets across the region.

An ongoing research project of the Ontario Genealogical Society, Toronto Branch

The York Report: Settling in

It was April 1796, and Simcoe was concerned. The town did not seem to be developing as quickly as it should and a few of his government officials were making every excuse to delay their move to York. Some of the grants made in September of 1793 (perhaps in haste) now needed clarification, and the allocation of any remaining land needed careful consideration. In 1796, he commissioned a report to determine whether the properties were being occupied and improved, with a view to encouraging true settlement and discouraging speculation.

These deliberations, recorded in the Upper Canada Land and State Minute Book, became known as the “York Report” and resulted in a number of changes to the allocation of the Park Lots, as well as commentary regarding who had not yet settled on their property. Grantees were required to appear or send a representative to describe the condition of their property. The Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society undertook to transcribe these minutes and they make up part of the introductory section of the Simcoe’s Gentry. View the transcription of this interesting part of Toronto history here.

Eric Holder doesn’t have a good answer for his involvement in the Fast and Furious scandal, but he has come up with an explanation for why he is the target of so much criticism.  It’s because he’s black, which he says is also why Barack Obama gets criticized, too.

Holder says he’s a convenient two-fer for Obama critics.  People identify him with the President because “you know, the fact that we’re both African American.” He also says those people who take exception with him or with Obama are part of the “more extreme segment” of America.

So, this administration doesn’t make mistakes, and can’t possibly be wrong.  And, if you happen to disagree with them, you are either an extremist, a racist, or more likely, both.

This comes from the Attorney General of the first post-racial President – outrageous!  Here’s an excerpt from the interview published in the New York Times, with the full article linked here:

“Of that group of critics, Mr. Holder said he believed that a few — the ‘more extreme segment’ — were motivated by animus against Mr. Obama and that he served as a stand-in for him. ‘This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him,’ he said, ‘both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American.’”

Senate Democrats should not join Russ Feingold’s efforts to censure President Bush. He is charting a path that is ahistorical and extra-constitutional. While Senator Feingold may have doubts about the legality of the once classified electronic surveillance program operated by the National Security Agency and disclosed in December by the New York Times, the Senate risks establishing a precedent it may soon regret. Why? Because once embraced, senators risk subjecting themselves to the same condemnation.

What is censure? Purportedly it is the legislative equivalent of a reprimand or rebuke. Many constitutional scholars argue that since neither the Constitution nor the rules of the House or Senate expressly provide for it, Congress does not have this authority. Historically, the first and last time this power was invoked by the legislature against the executive occurred in 1834. It was carried out by a United States Senate controlled by a Whig Majority and used against President Andrew Jackson, a Democrat.

While it may be politically convenient, the use of the "censure" is not at all necessary in order for Congress to carryout its powers. The U.S. Constitution, House, and Senate rules all provide explicit means for Congress to exercise their disagreements with the executive. They have an array of powers to rely upon: they can enact statutes, reduce or end spending on programs they oppose, override a presidential veto and use their impeachment power.

Arguably, "censure" is modeled after the techniques used by the House and the Senate to formally condemn or rebuke members of their own body. Under rules established by the House and Senate, after a simple majority vote, the Member is publicly denounced, but still retains his position as a senator or representative. Using this formulation, Sen. Feingold’s resolution would "rebuke" President Bush but would not force him from office.

What is most troubling about Senator Feingold’s resolution is the particular application he seeks. Essentially, Senator Feingold is using a reprimand to resolve a "separation of powers" dispute between the president and Congress. Some members of Congress argue that Congress alone has the power to regulate the use of wiretaps domestically.

You may have been surprised to learn about the 10 East Texas churches burned down by arsonists since the beginning of the year. In fact, maybe this is the first you’ve heard of it. That’s almost two per week, and the mainstream media was largely silent on the whole matter—not giving it much coverage until two men were arrested.

What was getting plenty of coverage were stories like whether Tiger was truly sorry and the kerfuffle that resulted from President Obama’s suggestion that Las Vegas might not be a great place to invest your money.

Sean Hannity FREE

One might argue that these church burnings weren’t a big deal because they haven’t been focused on one particular racial or ethnic group. It’s not a stretch to say that the media likely would have been all over this story and loud, public demands for justice would have been issued by scores of politicians had this been the burning of 10 black churches, or 10 synagogues or mosques or 10 faith centers for people who practice homosexual behavior. In fact, it would have caused a national stir—church or no church—if facilities housing groups advocating issues like global warming, animal rights, abortion or gun control had gone up in flames.

But no, most of these were just plain old, traditional, Protestant churches in the Bible belt—the kind of churches Americans have been going to since long before there was an “America”—the kind that have been cornerstones of our communities, encouraging and defending basic morality, for hundreds of years. Some media outlets are spending all their time focusing on the fact that the men arrested had some religious upbringing. Why wasn’t there reason enough to stir a little outrage, ruffle a few headlines, earn a few sound bites on an evening newscast prior to that?

Because religion is “out.” This complete lack of any church fire alarm is just the latest evidence of the increasing effort nationwide to marginalize religion and the church in this country.

Something fundamental...something vital...something irreplaceable is changing in our nation today. In his farewell address as president of the United States, George Washington said, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.” He said that “reason and experience both forbid us to expect that National morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”

New Contract Earns Chicago Schools 2nd Credit Downgrade – In One Quarter

Kyle Olson

9/29/2012 12:01:00 AM - Kyle Olson

Sound financial management clearly wasn’t a concern to any party involved in the recent contract negotiations in Chicago Public Schools.

They were warned that new labor expenses might result in a credit downgrade for the financially-strapped school district, and they chose to ignore it.

Now it has comes to pass. The credit rating agency Moody’s has downgraded the school district for the second time in one quarter.

Moody’s wrote:

“The negative outlook reflects the school district's budgeted depletion of reserves to fund ongoing operations in fiscal 2013; the moderate additional unbudgeted salary costs of labor contract negotiations, which have not yet been ratified by CTU; an estimated $1 billion budget deficit for fiscal 2014; and the sizable increase in pension contributions following a three-year relief period. Significant budget adjustments will be necessary, but the demonstrated power of collective bargaining suggests that future budget controls may be difficult for the district to implement.”

Chalk one up for the Chicago Teachers Union. It’s insistence on pressing for higher wages at a time when the district could not afford it has pushed CPS even closer to financial collapse. And Mayor Rahm Emanuel doesn’t deserve a pass. He didn’t have the guts to stand up to the union, and now schoolchildren and taxpayers will pay.

The downgrade will, of course, make it more expensive for the school district to borrow money, complicating an already messy financial situation.

As has previously stated, it’s baffling how a business-savvy Board of Education could seemingly check its brains at the negotiating room door. How could people who run successful multi-national corporations allow such poor management of taxpayer resources? “The negative outlook reflects our view that the district will be hard-pressed to make the budget adjustments necessary to close an estimated $1 billion budget gap for fiscal 2014. In particular, the duration of the recent CTU strike demonstrates that labor issues may continue to be a ratings factor,” Moody’s wrote.

A word to the wise in Illinois, and particularly Chicago: Look at your neighbors to the north in Wisconsin. They solved the collective bargaining problem, and their schools are getting by just fine.

One phase of the Art Wars came to an end in a New York courtroom recently when a Brooklyn jury took just 90 minutes to convict Dennis Heiner, 73, of criminal mischief, making graffiti, and possession of graffiti instruments. His crime? Throwing white paint on the portrait of the Virgin Mary laced with dung and porno shown as part of the "Sensation" exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum.

Heiner proposed a novel defense. If smearing elephant dung on a portrait of the Virgin Mary was speech, so was smearing white paint on the elephant dung. "Answering speech with speech" is how Heiner describes it.

The thing is, if he'd been tried by a jury of National Endowment for the Arts grantees, he'd have a pretty good case. In her new, invaluable and shockingly intelligent book, "Exhibitionism: Art in an Era of Intolerance," cultural critic Lynne Munson lays bare the new, rigid art ethic enforced by government bureaucrats and official academicians. Heiner's project would fit right in.

"Postmodernism ushered in an established academicism which celebrated the contrary for its own sake. Suddenly, being shocking or offensive or just anti-art was the safest approach an artist could take," writes Munson. Where once the NEA offered support and recognition to a variety of artists of proven merit, today the exclusion of artists not working in the postmodern mode is "virtually systematic, with nearly all of the fellowships going to artists whose work was intended primarily to serve as social critique." "I'm not impressed by craft or skill," three-time NEA grantee and NEA panelist David Diao makes clear. "I'm more impressed by ideas and something that's driven by conceptual issues. ... for me it's always the culture that generates ideas, not individuals." This is why the NEA funds everything from Piss Christ to Finley Feces. One enterprising artist got the NEA to pay for his home's hydroelectric system. Another artist successfully got the NEA to fund a performance piece that involved shutting herself up in a concrete cube with some wild animals and building nests. But perhaps the ideal performance piece, as Munson reports one postmodern artist suggested, would be to invite an audience and shoot them.

Boeing celebrated the completion of its final assembly plant for the Dreamliner 787 aircraft in North Charleston, South Carolina, today. Boeing’s $1-billion investment and the thousands of jobs created in South Carolina prove one thing: Right to work laws attract businesses and help local economies.

Unfortunately, the Obama administration is trying to stop that from happening. The Boeing plant’s opening comes amidst the controversy spawned by the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) complaint against the aircraft manufacturer. On April 20, the NLRB claimed that Boeing had violated federal labor law by building the Dreamliner in South Carolina, which is a right-to-work state, instead of at its facility in Washington State, which is not.

The NLRB’s complaint is in fact a back-handed compliment to right-to-work laws, because it is based on the assumption that that right-to-work laws help attract businesses. The preponderance of the evidence favors that position.

As Arthur B. Laffer and Stephen Moore recently noted in the Wall Street Journal, from 2000 to 2009 right-to-work states “grew faster in nearly every respect than their union-shop counterparts: 54.6% versus 41.1% in gross state product, 53.3% versus 40.6% in personal income, 11.9% versus 6.1% in population, and 4.1% versus -0.6% in payrolls.”

A recent analysis by the office of Senator Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) shows that right-to-work states created 1.3 million more jobs in the private sector, had 3.5 percent faster income growth, and 46 percent higher business growth than forced union states between 1993 and 2009.

And, according to a recent National Right to Work Committee analysis of Department of Labor data, over the past 10 years, the top five states in creating new jobs are right-to-work states, while the bottom five are forced unionism states. Workers in right-to-work states also have more disposable income than those in forced unionism states.

Yet right-to-work opponents continue to trumpet the tired old line that giving workers a choice on whether to join a union or not hurts the economy. The AFL-CIO maintains that right to work laws “hurt economies and don’t create jobs.” New Hampshire Governor John Lynch (D) recently vetoed a right-to-work bill passed by the state’s legislature saying, “There is no evidence that this legislation will offer any benefits to New Hampshire's economy or workers.”

Someone should tell that to the South Carolinian workers recently hired for well-paying jobs by Boeing thanks to the business friendly environment their state. Yet union leaders seem less concerned with job creation than with institutional self-preservation.

In states that do not have right-to-work protections, unions can require employees to pay dues as a condition of employment. Unions like this compulsory arrangement because it allows them to easily expand their membership, income, and power, without having to sell themselves. This monopoly makes unions less responsive to their members.

In right-to-work states, unions must demonstrate to workers that their service has value or they will refuse to join. As in other areas of the economy, competition makes providers of goods and services—in this case the representation services of labor organizations—more efficient and responsive.

Competition also extends across geographical boundaries, as the shifts in population of recent decades show. Workers and business are voting with their feet. Since 1970, the population in right to work states has more than doubled, while only increasing 25.7 percent in forced unionization states. This substantial gap in population growth is likely attributable to people moving from forced unionization states to right-to-work states because of better job opportunities arising from right-to-work states’ better business environments.

Michigan, where forced unionism is a way of life, is the only state in the nation to have lost population over the past decade, with the City of Detroit by itself losing 25 percent of its residents. Ironically, the economic stagnation that forced unionism policies beget can even hurt unions in the long run, as Michigan’s plight shows. In 1989, 26 percent of Michigan’s workers were unionized. Today, that number is 16.5 percent—and that from a smaller labor pool.

Where are all the jobs going? Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) answered that question in a recent GOP weekly address: “After 25 years, non-union Nissan operated the most efficient auto plant in North America.” The Senator continued, saying, “Nissan’s success is one reason Volkswagen last week opened its North American manufacturing plant in Chattanooga and why Honda and Toyota, BMW, Kia Mercedes-Bens, Hyundai and thousands of suppliers have chosen South-Eastern, right-to-work states for their plants.”

Currently, policy makers in three states—Michigan, Maine, and New Hampshire—are considering enacting right-to-work laws. As they ponder their options, they should look at where the jobs are. Workers want more jobs, faster income growth, better job security, and freedom of association—these are all things that right-to-work laws can help achieve.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban Wednesday likened the planned withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan to America's pullout from Vietnam, calling it a "declare victory and run" strategy.

A statement from the militant group said the ongoing transfer of security operations from U.S. troops to Afghan forces was merely a retreat similar to the American withdrawal from South Vietnam prior to the communist victory there in 1975.

American-led NATO troops are scheduled to pull out of Afghanistan by the end of 2014, although the U.S. will leave a residual force behind and other NATO countries have pledged continuing support of the Kabul government.

"They want to flee from Afghanistan just as they turned tail and ran from Vietnam," the Taliban statement said. "When America faced utter destruction in Vietnam, they came up with the formula 'declare victory and run' and want to utilize the formula of 'transfer security and run' here in Afghanistan."

The United States withdrew is combat troops from South Vietnam in 1973, leaving South Vietnamese forces to face the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong who marched into the capital, Saigon, two years later.

The 2009 Obama stimulus package is a constant source of stories about incompetent bureaucrats in Washington wasting taxpayer money, with Solyndra being the most famous of them. The latest story involves a man, David Myers, getting a guaranteed $7.45 million loan from the United States Department of Agriculture. His company, Ways LLC is using the guaranteed loan to purchase a home health agency in Mississippi. What's the problem with this loan? Amongst other things, Myers was involved in a high profile case of corporate fraud. Bloomberg News had this to say about the man being trusted with millions in taxpayer money:

“Myers, 54, served nine months in prison for helping to falsify the telecommunications company’s books to meet earnings targets. The $11 billion accounting fraud wiped out more than 17,000 jobs and $184.6 billion in market value from WorldCom’s high on June 1999.”

Obama’s $760 billion stimulus program includes 515 loan guarantees for businesses, and places the USDA in charge of selecting qualified applicants. Ways LLC was one such business.

Surprisingly, there are no regulations or law preventing the government from doing business with David Myers:

“Myers pleaded guilty to fraud, conspiracy and false filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in September 2002. Federal law prohibits the USDA from making a grant or providing a loan or loan guarantee to corporations or executives who have been convicted of a felony within the preceding two years.”

The USDA, in its infinite wisdom, decided that it was worth gambling on David Myers’s business, seeing as to how he pled guilty ten years ago instead of two. The USDA, and every other over-empowered government agency, can afford to make these gambles, because they are not held personally accountable for their failures. In the end, it is the taxpayer who takes the hit.

02/25/13 - Friday nights at Bar de Courcelle!

I've taken a little break from the writing, producing, and performing side of music. This has pretty much coincided with the dissolution of the wonderful label I was fortunate enough to have been involved with for the last 12 years. You can and definitely should read the wonderful, sad, and brutally honest hiatus letter that was penned over at the Galactique site.

On a brighter note: I am DJing at my local haunt in the wonderfully bizarre neighbourhood of St-Henri here in Montreal. Every Friday night from 10pm to 3am you can find me playing garage rock, hill country blues, pre punk, post punk, punk punk, and whatever other dirty rock 'n' roll music I can get my hands on. It's free, rowdy as fuck, and full of the only interesting people in Montreal. Info on the Bar de Courcelle on Facebook.

Galactique had this to say about me: "As if Taperecorder hasn't already had the most prolific year ever, here is a collection that highlights his particular skills in the esteemed medium of remixery. From labelmates to heroes to people he doesnt even like, the fifteen re-imaginings that make up Chop-Chop! span his career and about eighty-six different genres."

It was great working with james apollo on a cover of the Jolie Holland song called 'Goddamn Shame'; as well as Fair Lion adding her dark and lovely dimension to Mirabel (named after the abandoned aeroport 45 minutes north of Montreal). Go listen and/or download here.

05/14/12 - MOG music editorial pick!

Some kind words from the editors of MOG about my 'Just Ramble & Think Of Ghosts' album Read all about it!

05/12/12 - Gravel Mountain video!

Last summer there was a vague plan to release a single for 'Gravel Mountain'. It would have beem the original, a remix, an unreleased song, plus a video. The video was filmed and edited together but the single was scrapped in favour of doing the remix album 'The Devil May Care'. I had hoped to eventually release the Gravel Mountain video alongside the remix album - but last minute technical issues prevented this and it was abandoned. Anyway, we recently took another crack at it and managed to make it work. So here it is, filmed in the decommisioned Outremont railyards of Montreal:

05/08/12 - Gussied up website!

Hey all! I gussied up and at the same time simplified my wibsite. Was going to launch it on the same day as my new EP came out (on may 16th) but I figured I may as well do it on this rainy Tuesday afternoon. I hope you like it!

04/19/12 - Record Store Day!

This Saturday is record store day. Galactique recordings is celebrating it by offering a 'Ghost/Devil' combo! For $12 you will recieve "Just Ramble & Think Of Ghosts' on high quality vinyl; plus a handmade CD of 'The Devil Is A Busy Man'; and digital download codes for both albums. For only $12!!!!

04/13/12 - Philadelphia Collins EP!

Galactique came up with this blurb about my new EP: "Philadelphia Collins saw its genesis in a few remix efforts that went a little too far. Being the musical tinker that he is, Taperecorder deconstructed and rebuilt the source material to the point where the results had transcended the context of 'remix'. Indeed, each track on this EP is its own animal; entirely new songs informed, but not defined, by their original identities". You can listen to and/or download it for free over here! Also be sure to check out the video:

03/25/12 - Grimes remix

I never do unofficial remixes but there was something I heard in this grimes jam that I just wanted to try and bring out! Listen to or download it here!

03/19/12 - Le Divan Orange

This Wednesday night at Le Divan Orange in Montreal: Taperecorder, Stab Ability, and Foil!

03/15/12 - Cabinet!

Another single! I am so glad this song is finally seeing the light of day. The original was recorded during the same sessions as 'Just Ramble & Think Of Ghosts', but for whatever reason - it just didn't want to be on that album. So it was put aside and it was going to be the last song on 'The Devil Is A Busy Man'. Low and behold, it didn't want to be on there either. It finally dawned on me recently that maybe it should get it's very own special little release. Galactique says "It's cause for celebration when a track emerges from seven years of musical purgatory, so the release of Taperecorder's "Cabinet" merits two singles instead of just one. The two parts are decidedly, delightfully divergent, pitting bouncy sass against organic grooves. Friends stop by in the form of long-buried collaborations with Tim "Love" Lee and [Blank], and new remixes from Lewis Bergen and Drunkwife".

Cabinet #1 is right here!
Cabinet #2 is right here!

02/29/12 - Leap Day presents: SLED!

Happy happy day that only happens every four years! Here is a lovely new single I made called Sled! In honour of the occasion and a perfect place to begin the beguine! Sled! is a bouncy, mischievous dancer, buttressed by a Wolf Couture vs. DJ Teenwolf remix that is so perfect, two alter egos of Kevin Ross were required to make it happen.

"Here is the latest from Taperecorders The Devil Is A Busy Man: the Ill Mestizo-featuring, jittery binge drink of a clip for Liquor Demons. Some of you weaker folks might get a bit sick watching this, and some of you will probably view this as a typical Thursday night." love it!

so it looks like taperecorder will be releasing two albums on may 1st! 17 songs spread across two records. the first is called 'just ramble & think of ghosts' and features 8 songs about love, loss, and longing. both albums were made with guitars but on this one the guitars are obvious. bethany spiers provides the beautifully haunting vocals. the second release is called 'the devil is a busy man' and is a more glitchy, warbly offering. it was also made with guitars but you might be confused when you look for them. the guitars have been turned into pads and keyboard sounds. bethany spiers apears on this record more as vocal blips and hiccups.

Running Wild

Hundreds on Hand for Adventure Race at Cedar Hill State Park

CEDAR HILL, TX—Hundreds of visitors from all over Texas and surrounding states crowded the Dallas Off-Road Biking Association trailhead inside Cedar Hill State Park for the Eco Lone Star Adventure Race series sport and extreme outdoor triathlon early Saturday morning.

Teams and individuals participated in running and mountain biking courses mapped throughout the extensive trails of the large park, located in the southern DFW Metroplex, as well as paddling events along a charted shoreline course of Joe Pool reservoir. Collectively, participants competed for time and points in the USARA-sanctioned event.

Weather permitting, tomorrow is scheduled to feature a 5k and 15k run inside the park, as part of XTERRA Trail Run and Pure Austin Trail Running series.

Pictured here are Greg Rankin and his son, Nathan Rankin (age 14), of Parker, TX, shown hustling their inflatable kayak to the water’s edge to launch for the sprint paddling event.

 For more information on adventure racing, visit http://www.terrafirmaracing.com, or contact Cedar Hill State Park at (972) 291-3900 and http://www.texasstateparks.org. Or for information on state park camping reservations, contact the customer service center at (512) 389-8900.

I'll Take the Dirt Road
The first wave of mountain bikers participated in the opening day of Dirt Fest 2012, a series of guided bike rides through miles of rugged and scenic Chihuahuan Desert inside Big Bend Ranch State Park near Lajitas, TX.
Participants of Dirt Fest 2012 can choose from several routes for trail rides, with varying degree of difficulty, including the challenging, 54-mile Epic Ride, 30-mile Rincon Loop, 18-mile Dome Trail and several other options. Most rides are guided by state park staff or other expert riders, such as those with Desert Sports, but folks can choose to ride individually as well.
Dirt Fest 2012 continues on thru Saturday, when some 250-plus riders are expected for the event's final day.
With more than 300,000 acres and hundreds of miles of available trails, Big Bend Ranch State Park is rapidly becoming known as a premier mountain biking destination.
For more information, contact Big Bend Ranch State Park at (432) 358-4444, or visit Desert Sports' Web site for more details about Dirt Fest 2012 at http://www.desertsportstx.com/.

Take Care of Texas Campaign Helps Texans Conserve Water During Drought, Care for Air, Water, Parks
Country Music Star Kevin Fowler is Spokesperson in PSAs, Donates Song to Support Effort
In a shared announcement today, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and Texas Parks and Wildlife unveiled a statewide public service campaign to promote outdoor recreation and encourage personal responsibility in protecting our state's natural resources.
Country music star Kevin Fowler donated his talents for radio and TV spots, including writing and performing the campaign's jingle, "Take Care of Texas," which will be broadcast on Texas radio and TV stations throughout the summer.
"Kevin's jingle is not only a catchy song, but it's also a very noteworthy message," says TCEQ Executive Director Zak Covar. "Through this statewide campaign, we hope that everyone who enjoys the abundant outdoor recreation opportunities here will do their part to conserve and protect those natural resources."
"With the punishing drought our state has suffered in recent years, most people know how important it is to conserve water, and public education efforts like Take Care of Texas are absolutely vital to help get the job done," said Carter Smith, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department executive director. "In poll after poll, Texans have consistently ranked water resources near the very top of public priorities. It's important for people in cities, and it's important for fish and wildlife, state parks and natural habitats--everything is connected, and we all have a role to play. Take Care of Texas provides quick and easy practical guidance for people to do what they already know is right."
The PSA, as well as a video about the making of it, is available on the TakeCareOfTexas.org website. The website offers Texans easy ways to conserve water and energy, and includes an online calculator to estimate how much household water, energy, and money they can save by taking these conservation measures in their own home and garden. Everyone who takes an online pledge to help keep Texas clean will receive a free Texas State Park Guide in appreciation for their efforts.

text: id summary reporter owner description type status priority milestone component version resolution keywords cc 30 Check the use on type operators nibro nibro "There is a problem in handling type operators. We can't check that TypeOperators are enabled directly when we encounter them, since we don't know whether the type we're parsing will be used as a data constructor, where the operators would be allowed even in Haskell98. So we need to allow the operators always, and then check in a post-pass that the types are actually valid. This will probably be implemented in the same check that does forall-checking, for ticket #29. This is part of ticket #14." bug report closed blocker Full code support parser fixed
