Mirabeau B. Lamar Senior High School is a secondary school located in Houston, Texas, United States. Lamar High School, which serves grades 9 through 12, is part of the Houston Independent School District.
Lamar, which is located in the Upper Kirby district,[3] serves the Houston neighborhoods of River Oaks and Montrose, the incorporated city of West University Place, a portion of the city of Southside Place, and other Houston subdivisions.
The school has a business magnet program offering business management courses, as well as cooperation with the Houston business community to provide internships and university scholarships.
The school handles grades nine through twelve. Lamar High School has neighborhood, Advanced Placement, and IB Diploma Programme (International Baccalaureate) programs. Lamar has one of two high school level IB Diploma programs in the Houston Independent School District and, therefore, is one of HISD's seven IB World Schools.[4] Lamar High School consistently has the greatest number of students who graduate with the IB Diploma in Texas.[5] Lamar offers many International Baccalaureate Diploma classes, including five foreign languages: Chinese, French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian. In 1999 Lamar's IB program was the 14th largest such program in the country.[6]
The school's mascot for its sports teams is the Lamar Texans.

In the 19th century Michael Louis Westheimer, a German immigrant who arrived in Houston in 1859, bought a 640-acre (2.6 km2) farm at an auction for $2.50 per acre. On his property Westheimer established a school for local children, including some of his relatives from Germany. The path to the school became "Westheimer's Road," now called Westheimer Road.[7][8][9]
The Houston Independent School District built and established Lamar on the former site of Westheimer's farm.[8] Earlier the Southampton Civic Club attempted to persuade Houston ISD to build Lamar at a lot along Kirby and West Alabama; the attempt failed and Lamar was built across from River Oaks.[10] HISD board member Ray K. Daily, then the sole female on the board, attended and participated in the March 13, 1936 groundbreaking. The initial name for the school was "Southwest High School."[11]
Lamar opened in 1937 along Westheimer Road which was not paved.[12] The opening relieved pressure on San Jacinto High School in what is now Midtown.[13] When the school opened it had 1,310 students, mostly from Bellaire, West University Place, Montrose, Southampton, and Southgate. In 1938 10% of the students resided in River Oaks.[14]
William Broyles of the Texas Monthly wrote that in its pre-desegregation history Lamar was the public equivalent of an exclusive prep school" and Houston's "society school".[15] In that period Lamar was the designation of children of Houston's most prominent families who attended public high schools.[16] Many students in the 1950s had referred to River Oaks Boulevard as the only street with a country club at both ends. One was the River Oaks Country Club, and the "other" was Lamar High School.[17][18] Gregory Curtis of the Texas Monthly wrote that "Lamar has always had a reputation as a school of snobs" within Houston's public school system.[16]
Lamar grew rapidly to the point where Robert E. Lee High School (now Margaret Long Wisdom High School) was built in 1962 to relieve Lamar.[19] Lee's first principal, Woodrow Watts, was previously the principal of Lamar.[20] Harold Costlow became Lamar's principal in 1962.[21] After its opening, Lee became Lamar's primary athletic rival.[20]
Lamar racially integrated in the 1970s. Broyles wrote that Lamar integrated quietly and "not so much as an experiment in integration but simply as a school, a place where adolescents learn many things, some of them in the classroom."[15] Due to integration many of the wealthier families instead sent their children to private schools.[16]
Lamar became an IB school in 1982.[22] In 1987 the school had held its 50th anniversary. It had sent invitations to Tommy Tune, Robert Foxworth, Jaclyn Smith, Tommy Sands, Carlin Glynn, Paula Prentiss, and Candy Tovar. The plan for the outdoor festivities called for Mayor of Houston Kathy Whitmire, former Governor of Texas Mark White, former Mayor of Houston Fred Hofheinz, Superintendent of HISD Joan Raymond, and others were scheduled to give special presentations.[23]
The Business Administration Magnet Program was established in 1989.[24]
In September 1991 Lamar was one of 32 HISD schools that had capped enrollments: The school was at capacity and excess students had to attend other schools.[25] The graduating class of 2009 had the largest number of seniors Lamar ever had, with 886 students. The next class dropped to a little over 600 students.[citation needed]
Fran Callahan, a resident of the Old Braeswood neighborhood of Houston, founded the Lamar Alumni Association around 1998 and became its executive director. She decided to create an alumni association after she inquired about making a large-scale fundraising campaign and learned that Lamar, which had many famous individuals as alumni, had no alumni association.[17]
In 2003 the class of 1953, which included business owners, a film producer, a Nobel prize winner, a nominee for U.S. Secretary of State and a former assistant of the U.S. Secretary of Defense, lawyers, engineers, and an architect, held its 50th reunion. A tour of the Lamar campus and a formal buffet and dance at the Houston Country Club was scheduled for Saturday November 8, 2003. A brunch was scheduled at the University Club in the morning of Sunday November 9, 2003.[18] In 2004, Tune performed at Lamar.[24] Foxworth and Jaclyn Smith attended the performance.[26]
In 2006 Callahan started a $3 million capital campaign to raise money for the school.[17]
In 2007 22% of high-school-age children zoned to Lamar chose to attend a different Houston ISD school.[27] In 2009 the increasing number of students taking university preparatory classes applied to public universities due to the late-2000s recession.[28] In 2010 Lamar, which has a capacity of 2,525, was 740 students over capacity; Lamar is popular with students who do not want to attend their home schools.[29]
In 2010 Magnet Schools of America, a nonprofit, released a report recommending that Lamar's magnet program be abolished, due to overcrowding.[30] In 2014 Terry Grier stated that Lamar should reduce its enrollment to around 3,000 students.[31]
Anne Sloan, a former Lamar English teacher and a resident of the Houston Heights, wrote the book The History of Mirabeau B. Lamar High School. The Lamar Alumni Association had commissioned this book.[32]

The campus is located on the southern end of River Oaks Boulevard.[33] The Lamar High School campus consists of four buildings, a baseball field, a football field, and tennis courts.
The North Building is a four-story building (including the basement level) which was the original building built in 1936. Its consists of many classrooms, the main office, attendance office, magnet office, International Baccalaureate office, special education office, auditorium, band room, cooking room, and the choir room. It was built in a distinctive Art Deco style.[citation needed] The building was made of Texas limestone and the windows are the steel ribbon style. It consists of a single central block with the Ned S. Holmes Auditorium at the western end. The entrance to the theater is decorated by a relief map of Texas that indicates the state's mountain ranges and escarpment John F. Staub and Kenneth Franzheim designed it, while Lamar Q. Cato, Louis A. Glover, and Harry D. Payne assisted.[33] An Italian American,[34] Eraclito "Nino" Lenarduzzi,[33][34] designed the map on the auditorium. Anna Mod, author of Building Modern Houston, wrote that the theater entrance uses "a more monumenta and severe Moderne style".[33]
The West Building is a two-story building that was built in 1987. It consists of science laboratories and computer laboratories. Practice and performance gymnasiums are found in this building.[citation needed]
The two-story East Building was built at the same time as the West Building. It consists of senior classrooms, the cafeteria, art rooms, the news broadcast lab, the library, the theatre, book room, and JROTC rivalry rooms.[citation needed]
The fourth building is the natatorium. The natatorium was built in 1991 to replace the pool in the basement of the north building. Bailey Architects built the last three buildings. Unlike the East and West buildings, which are connected to each other and the north building through a series of second-story crosswalks, the natatorium is completely separate.[citation needed]
The school has a large map of Texas on the wall of the performance hall. In 2012 Richard Connelly of the Houston Press ranked Lamar as the seventh most architecturally beautiful high school campus in Greater Houston, saying that it is "[d]efinitely one of the most distinctive schools in town."[35]
In 2012 Greg Groogan of KRIV said "there's nothing 'Cadillac' about the school", citing the air conditioners that often fail, small classrooms in the school's original section that were designed to house 15 students but routinely host classes of around 40 students, and a lack of shower facilities. The PE facilities have 15 shower heads to serve the entire male student body, numbering at 1,600.[36] In addition, as of that year, many students have to eat lunch outside of the cafeteria because, while about 800 students eat lunch per lunch period, it only has seating for 350. The enrollments of the piano classes were limited due to the small space of the former storage room used as the piano classroom.[37] The school only had two chemistry laboratories and two biology labs for a student body required to take four years of science classes.[36]
Architectural style[edit]
John F. Staub and Kenneth Franzheim, two architects, designed Lamar's original buildings with Louis A. Glover, Lamar Q. Cato, and Harry D. Payne. The design uses a "Z-plan" which has the auditorium and shop wings on opposite ends of the academic block. Jay C. Henry, the author of Architecture in Texas: 1895-1945, write that the construction had "a more avant-garde expression."[38]
Research center[edit]
In 2010 the school announced that it would replace its traditional school library with a coffee bar and electronic research center.[39] The coffee bar is operated by LHS's culinary program.[40]
2006 addition[edit]
November 29, 2006, at 11:00am, groundbreaking for construction of a new $150,000 athletic storage building was held at the rear of the school complex and was attended by the donating Lamar Alumni Board, the Alumni Executive Director, contributors, HISD officials, Principal James McSwain, staff, and many students and parents. This is the first new building on the Lamar campus in 20 years. The building opened in July 2007 and contains storage for athletic equipment and air-conditioned toilet facilities.[41]
As a filming location[edit]
The school is seen in the movie Rushmore.[42] In Rushmore the campus is used as the setting for Grover Cleveland High School.[43] Richard Connelly of the Houston Press said that the Lamar building "was ghetto'd up to look like a dilapidated inner-city school."[35] The school was also featured in the Chuck Norris film: Sidekicks.[44]
2000s Capital Campaign[edit]
The Lamar Alumni Association started a campaign to improve the facilities at Lamar.[45] The campaign is called "Reach For The Stars." The alumni asked Lamar parents to donate money for this campaign. The goal is to raise $3 million. As of March 2007, $1.8 million had been raised.
The historic auditorium is the main focus of the project. It is where Tommy Tune, Jaclyn Smith, Paula Prentiss, and Robert Foxworth got their start in stardom. The auditorium currently consists of the 1936-style wooden seats and has dated sound, lighting systems, and stage.
The campaign includes improvements to and additions of the horticulture Center, theater, campus fence, library, south courtyard, electronic message boards along Westheimer and West Alabama roads, Grand plaza, main office, college corner, JROTC center, orchestra room, choir room, Broadcast Journalism Studio/Production Room, dance studio, FFA classroom, furniture shop, parents' office, the principal's office, art classrooms, registrar office, piano lab, teacher's lounge, Business Magnet Office, nurse's station, counselor's office, science and computer labs, and endowment.
50th anniversary time capsule[edit]
On October 17, 1987, Lamar High School and its students celebrated its 50th anniversary by creating a time capsule to teach the students in the future how high school life was like in the 1980s. The time capsule was buried in front of Lamar's main entrance where it lies today. The plaque that marks where the time capsule lies is made from marble donated by the community of River Oaks and fund raising events held at Lamar at the time.
The plaque of Lamar's time capsule reads...
Lamar High School
Fiftieth Anniversary Time Capsule
For the 2014-15 school year:
- African American: 31.1%
- Hispanic: 36.8%
- White: 26.1%
- American Indian: 0.2%
- Asian: 4.1%
- Pacific Islander: 0.2%
- Two or More Races: 1.5%
- Economically Disadvantaged: 47.7%
Historical demographics[edit]
In 1967 the school had 2,040 students. Until 1970 HISD categorized Hispanic students as being White, so Jay P. Childers, author of The Evolving Citizen: American Youth and the Changing Norms of Democratic Engagement, wrote that in terms of ethnic ratios, "Exact numbers for the late 1960s are impossible to calculate" for that reason.[46] As evidence that White students were the vast majority at that time, he used images from the school newspaper, The Lancer.[46]
Childers wrote that ethnic change "seemed" to have quickly occurred after desegregation, citing the fact that in Spring 1974 African Americans made up six of twelve of the class officers and that in 1972 the cover of one issue of the Lancer showed a black male.[46] Curtis wrote that the racial integration did not cause "unfortunate incidents" at the school.[47] In 1975 there were 1,900 students. Due to the outflow of the very wealthy the school was increasingly made up of middle class students, and some students were of lower income backgrounds: 100 of them rented their own apartments.[16]
As of 1975 about 33% of Lamar's students were black.[16] Many black parents sent their children to Lamar because they wanted them to receive an education superior to that offered at historically black schools. By 1975 black students became members of clubs and the cheerleader corps of Lamar, and the student council president and "Lady of Lamar" were black. Curtis wrote that black students who did not wish to associate with whites often do not participate in the social environment while whites who did not wish to associate with blacks were still able to participate in that environment.[47] Some black students emphasized with friends attending other schools who criticized them for going to Lamar that they only attended the school.[47] Curtis wrote that some Lamar white students felt that "going to school with blacks [was] a duty they must perform, a quirk of history they must indulge."[47]
In 2006 Lisa Viator from the Houston Chronicle stated that between the 1950s and 2006 the school had transitioned from "an exclusive suburban institution" to a multiethnic urban high school.[17] As of 2010 the Lamar campus was built to accommodate 2,525 students but houses an additional 740 students as of the 2010–2011 school year. It is one of the most popular high schools for transferring in HISD.[48]
Academics and student performance[edit]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (June 2015) |
In 2008 William G. Ouchi, author of Making Schools Work: A Revolutionary Plan to Get Your Children the Education They Need, stated that Lamar was one of the two "elite" high schools in Houston along with Bellaire High School.[49] In 1979,[50] Al Reinert of Texas Monthly stated that Lamar was historically one of the two elite public high schools in all of Texas, along with Highland Park High School near Dallas.[51] Laura Nathan-Garner, author of the second edition of the Insiders' Guide to Houston (2012), wrote that Lamar was "considered one of the area's best public high schools."[52]
In January 2015 the school began issuing laptop computers to all students. Several classes now use the "flipped classroom" model where the teacher uploads lectures that may be viewed over the internet at any time, while hands-on work is done in the classroom.[53]
In the pre-desegregation period just about all Lamar students matriculated to colleges and universities. After desegregation in the 1970s and the resulting social class changes, the percentage of students moving on to colleges and universities was down to about 66% by 1975. At that time there were declines in the National Merit Qualifying Exam and SAT test scores.[16]
In 2007, Lamar was ranked as in Jay Mathews Newsweek's lists of the top high schools in the United States.[54] Many students in other parts of Houston ISD transfer to Lamar to escape home schools that do not have a good academic performance, causing the attendance figures of those schools to suffer.[55]
In 2007 Todd Spivak of the Houston Press reported about the magazine's feature "These Kids Go to the Best Public High School in Houston." Spivak said that Lamar High School, which he described as "well-regarded," received a lower rating due to a 66% graduation rate. Dr. Robert Sanborn, president and CEO of the Children at Risk organization, said that there was an achievement gap at Lamar between the top-performing students and the lowest-performing students.[56]
Houston ISD provides school buses for students who live more than two miles (3 km) from the school or who have major obstacles between their houses and the school. Students are eligible if they are zoned to Lamar or are in the Lamar magnet program.
A METRO bus stop (Westheimer Road @ River Oaks Boulevard) is at the school's entrance. Bus lines 81 & 82 (Westheimer)[57] stops at Westheimer @ River Oaks.
Seal and motto[edit]
The school seal includes the coat of arms of the family of Mirabeau B. Lamar. The school motto "Va t'en aux étoiles", featured on the seal, was the Lamar family's motto.[58]
Before fall 2006, Lamar maintained a dress code allowing for students to wear most types of clothing.[59] Starting in the 2006–2007 school year, the school requires school uniforms.[60] Uniforms consist of monogrammed navy or white Lamar polo shirts and khaki bottoms. All shoe types are permitted, including flip-flops; female students are allowed to wear plaid skirts. The Texas Education Agency specifies that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.[61] Alice Davidson, a Lamar student who wrote the "Screaming in the Halls" column in the "Yo! Houston" section of the Houston Chronicle, said that the Lamar uniform is similar to that of the St. John's School.[62]
Of the more than twenty HISD high schools that, as of 2007, had a standardized dress code or uniforms, Lamar was the only one that had a White plurality. The principal, James McSwain, cited safety concerns with a world after the Columbine High School massacre and the September 11, 2001 attacks as the reason for the school's adoption of uniforms. The newly created policy received opposition from some students and parents;[63] the policy was criticized in the May 16, 2006 Houston Chronicle by Davidson in her column.[62] The Houston Chronicle printed a feature about the Lamar uniform policy in the August 22, 2006 edition of the Yo! section;[64] the feature was written by Jessica Silverman, a student at Lamar as of 2006.[65]
In summer 2009, summer school students at Lamar were required to buy a uniform that differed from the regular Lamar uniform.[66]
Neighborhoods served[edit]
Within Lamar attendance boundary[edit]
Many parts of Houston west of Downtown that are inside the 610 Loop are zoned to Lamar.[67] River Oaks,[29][68] Afton Oaks, Upper Kirby,[3] Avalon Place, Avondale, Southgate, Morningside Place, Highland Village, Shadyside, West Lane Place, Lynn Park, Oak Estates, Royden Oaks, Old Braeswood, Boulevard Oaks, Southampton Place, most of Cottage Grove,[69] Sunset Terrace, Broadacres,[70] Ranch Estates, Rice Village, Rice Military, Crestwood/Glen Cove, Weslayan Plaza, Willowick Place,[71] the portions of Braeswood Place east of Stella Link and north of South Braeswood (including Braes Heights and Braes Oaks), most of Midtown, a small portion of Riverside Terrace, and the Neartown area (including Montrose, Cherryhurst, Westmoreland,[72] Hyde Park, Richwood, Lancaster Place, Castle Court, and North Montrose) are also zoned to Lamar.[73] Laura Nathan-Garner, author of the second edition of the Insiders' Guide to Houston (2012), wrote that "Many children in [River Oaks] attend [Lamar]".[52]
In addition, all pupils in the city of West University Place and the majority of pupils in the city of Southside Place (areas east of Stella Link Road) are zoned to Lamar.[74][75]
Rice Village Apartments and Morningside Square, two Rice University graduate housing complexes that admit families, are zoned to this school.[76] 7900 Cambridge and 1885 El Paseo, the student housing properties of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, are also zoned to Lamar.[77]
In the 1970s most of the neighborhoods in Lamar's attendance zone were middle and upper middle class, with the exception of the very wealthy River Oaks. As of 1975 the boundaries were roughly Interstate 10 (Katy Freeway) to the North, the Brays Bayou to the South, Montrose Boulevard to the East, and the 610 Loop to the west.[16]
with Lamar as an option[edit]
Students residing in the Margaret Long Wisdom attendance zone,[78] including the Uptown district and the neighborhoods of Briarmeadow, Briargrove,[79] Briarcroft, Gulfton, Larchmont, Tanglewilde, St. George Place (Lamar Terrace), Shenandoah,[80] Tanglewood, West Oaks, Woodlake Forest, Jeanetta, Sharpstown Country Club Estates, and small portions of Westchase east of Gessner, may go to Lamar, Margaret Long Wisdom High, or Westside High.[73] Small portions of the cities of Hunters Creek Village and Piney Point Village are zoned to Margaret Long Wisdom with options for Lamar and Westside.[81][82][83]
Lamar High School teams are Lamar Texans. Prior to this, they were Redskins, which was a bit ironic as school eponym Mirabeau B. Lamar was perhaps the chief proponent for driving the Cherokees and Comanches from Texas during his tenure as the president of the Republic of Texas (1838–1841)[citation needed]. The nickname was phased out and replaced with the "Texans," as "Redskins" is considered by some[who?] to be derogatory to the Native American population.[84][85] In April 2014 the HISD school board decided to rename remaining sports team names of Confederate and Native American mascots owing to fears of appearing culturally insensitive. Each school submitted its main choices to the HISD administration. The majority of Lamar students voted for Texian, but the school adopted "Texan" because HISD board members believed "Texan" was better than "Texian" since the latter could be culturally insensitive.[86] During the Redskin era, the school had a statue called "Big Red," a depiction of a Native American.[87]
Lamar Texans' archrivals are the Bellaire High Cardinals from Houston suburb Bellaire, Texas.[88][89] Their main competition are soccer and baseball.[citation needed] In previous eras the primary athletic rival was Lee High School.[20] American football games were the primary outlet of this rivalry, but it manifested itself in other ways; in 1975 Gregory Curtis of the Texas Monthly wrote that "the respective Key Clubs know year by year which club has sold more grapefruit in the Christmas drive and more tickets to the spring Pancake Breakfast."[90] According to Curtis, the rivalry "is as natural as it is intense" because the schools had students from the same social class and general geographic area.[91]
Athletic programs[edit]
Historically the cheerleading program at Lamar was very prominent. In the 1970s female and male students aspired to become cheerleaders. Curtis stated that being a cheerleader gave students the popularity needed to be elected in student government and club positions, such as the student body president, Key Club president, president of the Ramal club, and the president of the Pow Wow club.[92] A male student interviewed by Curtis stated that cheerleaders had more status than American football players.[92]
Lamar won the 1953 4A State Football Championship beating Odessa 33-7.[93]
Lamar won the 1969 State Baseball championship.
Lamar has one of the oldest lacrosse programs in Texas.[citation needed] The men's lacrosse team won the state championships in 1989 and 1995, and were state runner-ups in 1999 and 2001. The women's lacrosse team won the state championship in 1999 and 2011. The 2011 Women's Varsity team had five players named to the US Lacrosse Academic American Team.
The Lamar Redskins American football program teams have reached the playoffs 30 times, which ties Baytown Lee for the highest-ranking team in Greater Houston area.[94] In 2012, the Redskins reached the Texas 5A Division 1 Football Championship and lost to the Allen High School (Allen, Texas) Eagles, 35-21.[95] Lamar's football program has regularly advanced to state eliminations rounds, meeting teams from more rural areas of Texas which engage in the oil production business.[51] As of 1979 the team has historically received large booster support and was made up of sons of oil businessmen. Al Reinert of Texas Monthly described the team as one of two "on-and-off football powers".[50]

- Baseball
- Basketball

Lamar Life is a full-color quarterly news magazine. Childers described it as resembling "a strange blending of Newsweek and Teen Vogue."[46] The school newspaper was previously The Lancer. Childers wrote that the Lancer during the mid-1990s "took a decidedly downward turn" and in 2000 was ended. Lamar Life began in its place.[46]
Historical clubs[edit]
In the 1970s the school had various social clubs, some intended for boys and some intended for girls. The Lamar administration did not permit the establishment of fraternities and sororities. In 1975 Mirabeau, Niwauna, and Wachaka were the active girls' clubs while two others were inactive. The main boys' clubs were Pow Pow and Ramal.[21]
At the time the clubs had a membership capacity; those with more prospective members than slots held lotteries that randomly determined who is permitted to join. Many clubs at the time had a tradition of hazing new members. Several clubs engaged in charitable events and fundraisers, and they also sponsored parties. Curtis wrote that "But what they do is really secondary, just as what fraternities and sororities do is secondary. It is the belonging that counts."[21]
Curtis added that the clubs "have an aura of exclusivity; kids can tell whether or not they're really wanted there."[21] Due to the demographic changes in the 1970s, according to Curtis, interest in these social clubs decreased, with the two boys' clubs not having full membership rosters and two girls' clubs being inactive in 1975.[21]
Lamar Cable Television (LCT)[edit]
Lamar High School has its own news broadcast station called Lamar Cable Television.[104] In LCT, students are the reporters and provide information about events at school and in the outside world. The entire program is student-run. The class is supervised by Raymond Gayle who directed the movie Electric Purgatory. It is required to be viewed on a daily basis on the last 15 minutes of second or sixth period.
Orenda Yearbook and Lamar Life News magazine[edit]
The journalism department consists of an award winning yearbook that is in its 74th year of production. Both staffs are student run where students decide on story ideas and interview, design and complete all of the duties to run a small business. The yearbook is fully paid for by yearbook sales and community ads. The news magazine is printed in house and is a full color magazine. Both staffs are advised by Shelbi Blackmon.

Carl Icahn believes the US must change its method for selecting CEOs in order to stay competitive in the world "and get us out of an extremely dangerous financial situation."
Icahn says too many US corporations are terribly run
Writing on his brand new Yahoo Finance Tumbler page, the highest profile investor to date on the Yahoo's application said that too many US corporations "are terribly run" and there's no system in place to hold the CEOs and Boards of these poorly run companies accountable.
Icahn didn't go into great detail regarding the "dangerous financial situation," but he did note "whether it be monetary policy, unemployment, income inequality, the list can go on and on."
The solution is better corporate management. He said if corporations are more productive and profitable it will improve unemployment and other issues ailing the economy.
Icahn says an asset bubble is upon
Icahn backs a recent suggestion by US Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen that an asset bubble
is upon us as he outlines the potential problems. "We can no longer simply depend on the Federal Reserve to keep filling the punch bowl," he wrote.
Icahn also noted the pension fund problem. Highlighting the pension problem, Icahn cites a study by Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio that calculates 85% of public pension funds going bankrupt in three decades and only able to achieve 4% returns on their assets.
Icahn says "these inexcusable numbers are mainly due to pension and mutual fund managers" who don't question current management and support their efforts "regardless of their effectiveness on shareholder value."
Public investors should be ready for the asset bubble burst
Icahn said the investing public needs to be ready when the asset bubble bursts, but didn't speculate as to the date of such an implosion. "Our current system of corporate governance protects mediocre CEOs and boards that are mismanaging companies and this must be changed," he charged. "With this system we will not meet the needs of Main Street America, nor will we be ready for when the asset bubble we have today bursts – whether it is the next one, five, ten, or 20 years."
Icahn says the solution to the problem is simple. The solution is more shareholder activism.
After this pronouncement to save the world, Icahn dove into his fund's recent positive performance. Among the compelling facts regarding his activism, Icahn notes that the annualized return of a person who invested in companies where an Icahn representative joined the board and sold when the Icahn representative left the board, the investor would have obtained an annualized return of 27 percent.
"If a company is doing more poorly than its peers we take a hard look, and in a number of these cases the CEO is not the right person to be running the company, Icahn wrote. "True corporate democracy does not exist in America and as a result many unfit CEOs are not held accountable."

Major General Cyril Aubrey Blacklock CB, CMG, DSO & Bar (1880–1936) was a British Army officer who commanded several divisions on the Western Front during the First World War.
Early life[edit]
Blacklock was the son of J. Herbert Blacklock, and grew up in the Banburyshire village of Overthorpe. Educated at Eton College, he was a keen rider who hunted with the Warwickshire Hunt.[1]
Military career[edit]
Blacklock was a Militia officer when he was commissioned into the King's Royal Rifle Corps as a second lieutenant on 5 January 1901. He served in South Africa during the Second Boer War, and took part in operations in Orange River Colony.[1] While in South Africa, he was promoted to lieutenant on 11 December 1901.[2] Blacklock resigned his commission on 23 April 1904, while his battalion was stationed in India, and emigrated to Canada, where he settled at Port Rowan, Ontario.[1]
Following the outbreak of the First World War, Blacklock returned to England to rejoin his old regiment and quickly achieved promotion. He served as commanding officer of 10th Battalion of the King's Royal Rifle Corps from December 1915.[3] He went on to be commander of the 182nd (2/1st Warwickshire) Brigade in 1916 and then commander of the 97th Brigade in 1917.[1] He was wounded during the Battle of Guillemont in September 1916 and was awarded a Bar to his Distinguished Service Order for his actions. He was appointed General Officer Commanding 9th (Scottish) Division in March 1918 and General Officer Commanding 39th Division later that month. In this position he oversaw the 39th Division's robust defence of the Somme in the face of the German Spring Offensive. Following the Division's retirement from the front line, Blacklock was made General Officer Commanding 63rd (Royal Naval) Division in August 1918.[1] His commanding officer, General Sir Charles Fergusson considered Blacklock to be the "finest commander he had ever seen." Blacklock also received the praise of other senior wartime leaders for his command style, including General Horne and Field Marshall Haig.[4] Blacklock retired from the Army for a second time in 1920, by this stage a major general, and returned to Canada.[5] He had been invested as a Companion of the Order of the Bath and a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in recognition of his military service.[1]

The International Studies series is based on the LSE's oldest research centre and like the LSE itself was established to promote inter-disciplinary studies. The CIS facilitates research into many different aspects of the international community and produces interdisciplinary research into the international system as it experiences the forces of globalisation. As the capacity of domestic change to produce global consequences increases, so does the need to explore areas which cannot be confined within a single discipline or area of study. The series hopes to focus on the impact of cultural changes on foreign relations, the role of strategy and foreign policy and the impact of international law and human rights on global politics. It is intended to cover all aspects of foreign policy including, the historical and contemporary forces of empire and imperialism, the importance of domestic links to the international roles of states and non-state actors, particularly in Europe, and the relationship between development studies, international political economy and regional actors on a comparative basis, but is happy to include any aspect of the international with an inter-disciplinary aspect.
This book assesses the use of 'mercenaries' by states, and their integration into the national armed forces as part of a new hybridisation trend of contemporary armies. Governments, especially in the West, are undertaking an unprecedented wave of demilitarisation and military budget cuts.…

Bug Description
Binary package hint: bash-completion
The recent upgrade of 1.3 version has a strange behavior on directory completion.
For example, with 1.2 version bash-completion,
$ ls /us
then TAB will complete with
$ ls /usr/
Then a second TAB will prompt files in the /usr/ directory.
But with 1.3 version,
$ ls /us TAB
$ ls /usr
It's then impossible to prompt files in the directory.
Tobias Wolf (towolf) wrote : | #1 |
This is due to changes in the 1.3 upstream version of bash-completion I think. In the diff there is some talk about dynamically toggling "-O filenames".

5621 Marble Mountain Road; Marble Mountain, Marble Mountain, Nova Scotia, B0E, Canada
1905/01/01 to 1905/12/31
St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church is situated on a hill overlooking the Bras d'Or Lakes at Marble Mountain, Nova Scotia and is one of a pair of churches adjacent to each other in the centre of the community. The church was built in a simplified Gothic style with a central bell tower projecting from its front façade. There is no steeple; however the tower has a rounded cupola with a cross on top and a vestry is attached to the rear of the church. Municipal designation includes the building and land.
Built in 1905, St. Joseph's Church is valued as a focal point for the Catholics who lived at Marble Mountain during its mining heyday. Limestone, dolomite and marble were mined here beginning in 1869. The Dominion Steel Company (DOSCO) was formed in 1902. Between 1902 and 1922, the limestone and dolomite of Marble Mountain were DOSCO's principal sources of lime for use in the iron smeltering process in their Sydney, Cape Breton mill. Within a decade, approximately one thousand people were employed in the mining industry of Marble Mountain. To provide for the spiritual needs of this large influx of workers at the quarries, a larger church was built here in 1905 as a mission of St. Joseph's, Port Hawkesbury. This church is also remembered as the place where noted teacher, preacher, lecturer and journalist, Reverend Dr. Daniel MacGregor died on January 24, 1918. The mission priest lived in the vestry behind the altar of the church.
The architectural value of this church is noted in its simplified Gothic detail and overall form. Some Romanesque elements are evident in the main entrance door and the interior arched colonnade. Double Gothic windows above the main door and along both sides of the nave as well as the original altar are fine examples of this style of architecture which was very common from the mid-nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century. The unique interior of the church which is entirely of tongue and groove wooden wainscoting has a double colonnade of squared columns and an upper semi-circular gallery accessed by two stairways. Another unique feature of this church is the set of Stations of the Cross pictures with Spanish text. According to one story, it was believed that they were a gift from Spain and were brought to Marble Mountain by a ship picking up a cargo of marble from a local quarry. The church is also a popular venue for young couples getting married.

Why are you using un-compressed FLAC?
That defeats the whole purpose of FLAC: smaller file size than truly un-compressed formats like WAV and AIFF.
1.Why you both think that Marshall Monitor is bad cans, do you even heard them? I'm on a budget right now and cant buy new pair about 400$ im looking at Mad Dog.
2.Why you think that E12 dont give improovment?
Sorry for my bad english.
I'd bet that's exactly what they did! Bugs arise from inefficient coding, eg, excessively long command chains. so they probably deleted or merged a lot of code and reworked it to be simpler and more efficient.
I compared with a hex editor, the firmware versions. There are still ethernet data, Phone Numbers and more to a DAP no matching entries in it. These are significantly reduced in the firmware 1.2.2. I suspect that the firmware was compiled from a modular system which is designed for mobile phones.
I've nowhere seen correctly if it has a fully functional directory playback view.
I would like to ask if it has one, and if it works well? (I mean, once you step in a directory and play a song, will it go on to the next track, set the directory as a "playlist"?) Cause all I can see is this artist-album-songs playback which I don't really care for (never used/hated it).
Absolutely. I don't use the database. I browse by "Directory" which is a folder and file view. When you get into a folder with songs, it will play them from where you select to the end of the folder.
Androit but is an operating system for mobile devices based on linux. Androit is open source and can be selecting from a choice. the kernel is modular so are eg. network capability deselected. the code is thus in principle of all unnecessary ballast to free. Only the functions of the operation of the player is required.
Thank you very much! :)
My order was done on October 16th. You should get an em,ail soon.

I could not wait to paper piece these little cuties so I pulled out a new My Mind's Eye On the Bright Side-One paper pad. It's full of patterns that are perfect for cowgirls and cowboys! I added lots of brads down the left side and the orange strip was cut out using the Postage Border Die-namics, which made spacing the brads super easy!
The layout is the February Sketch for You to Try. Look at his cute little vest and bandana!! The rest of him is coloured with copic markers.
I cut out the Country Charms Die-namics from cork and attached each one with a brad.
I wanted to carry the cork over to the right side of the card so I cut out another piece using one of the Mix & Match Banners Die-namics and stamped the sentiment. Then I trimmed off the top to shorten it just a little and added a mini library clip.
On the inside I stamped one of the sentiments from the Country Charm Sentiments Mini set onto a piece which I cut out using the Chat Bubbles Die-namics.
Pin It
Next up is my little cowgirl and she's as cute as can be!!! I cut out some real denim using the Simply Scallops Medium Die-namics then pleated it across the card.
I thought about piecing her skirt with real denim but this paper pack has the perfect denim paper so I made it easy on myself and used paper. Then I gave her the most darling red polka dot vest to coordinate with her hat.
Check out the gorgeous Royal Rose Die-namics! Isn't it beautiful with the scallopy petals that look so realistic?!? I cut my flower from wild cherry felt.
On the inside I combined the Sweet Stack Labels Die-namics with the First place Award Ribbon Die-namics and another sentiment from the Country Charm Sentiments Mini.

Olivia "Chachi" Gonzales – the most adorable.hip hop dancer.ever.
she's a professional choreographer and dancer, she was part of the 2011 America's Best Dance Crew champs, 'I aM mE', and she was the lead "Baby One More Time" schoolgirl dancer in the Britney Spears Tribute on the 2011 VMA's.
she's got this so so cute girly tomboy thing goin'. off stage she's ridiculously sweet, shy, silly, baby voiced… and on stage she's a crazy skilled, on fire hip hop dancer. she's one of krissie's dance idols and one of all of us girls' very favorite dancers.

This is the least good

This is the least good cocktail using elderflower I've had. I love this stuff but this is a miss: too much elderflower or maybe the interaction with orange is wrong. The original Corpse Reviver #2 is better.
Too sweet for my liking,
