  About this episode:  In this, the 250th year of American independence, we look back over time's shoulder to revisit the nation only eleven years after its great civil war. From Philadelphia, Washington City and the relatively civilized East Coast to the wilds of the territories, Montana, Dakota and New Mexico, we bring to light issues that dominated then and still linger. Our focus: this country as it struggled to come into its own - struggled to establish its identity. For our 100th episode, we tell the story of our nation's Centennial. This is the story of the United States in 1876.        ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Dwight Moody William Jennings Bryan Horatio Alger, Jr. Pedro II Matilda Joslyn Gage George Armstrong Custer   For Further Reading The Year of the Century, 1876 by Dee Brown   Subscribe to the Threads from the National Tapestry YouTube Channel here   Thank you to our sponsor, Celebrity Word Scramble.

Tate is joined by Coach Chad Broadrick of the Centennial Cougars for a live remote interview at the WCS Fall Media Day. Broadrick reflects on his transition into the head coaching role since his mid-January hire, discussing the challenges of assembling his coaching staff and praising the team's booster club for their exceptional fundraising efforts. Looking ahead to the season, he addresses the team's need to adapt after losing major offensive firepower from the 2025 roster, noting that they will rely heavily on a talented sophomore class and a starting lineup of five senior offensive linemen rather than attempting high-scoring shootouts. Finally, Broadrick outlines the team's preparation strategy, detailing upcoming scrimmages against Lebanon, Independence, and Father Ryan, while previewing a challenging Week 1 matchup against a revamped Stewarts Creek team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At a time when Canada had a population of 25 million, there were over 50 million visitors to Expo 67. ORDER MY FIRST HISTORY BOOK!

TVC 741.4: Ed welcomes Perry Hibner, author of Centennial Revisited, a deep dive into the epic length, twelve-part, twenty-six hour miniseries that originally aired on NBC at various times throughout the 1978-1979 season. Centennial was ambitious in scope, majestic to watch, and almost universally praised by television critics for its quality production values and stellar acting performances. And yet, due to erratic scheduling and poor promotion, Centennial never received the audience or recognition it deserved. Centennial Revisited is available in hardcover, paperback, and as an eBook from DorrancePublishing.com, Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and wherever books are sold online. Topics this segment include how Centennial remains a point of pride for just about every actor who appeared in it, both at the time they filmed the miniseries in 1978 and when they look back on the experience today; why novelist James Michener felt that Centennial was the best adaptation of his works ever; and how Universal's decision not to promote Centennial hurt the series (and actor Robert Conrad in particular).

TVC 741.5a: Perry Hibner, author of Centennial Revisited, discusses some of his favorite characters in Centennial and shares a few final thoughts about both the miniseries and the legacy of James Michener. Centennial Revisited: An Oral History of the Epic TV Miniseries is available in hard cover, paperback, and as an eBook from DorrancePublishing.com, Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and wherever books are sold online.

TVC 741.5: Perry Hibner, author of Centennial Revisited, discusses some of the differences between Centennial the miniseries and the original James Michener novel; howthe tragic death of actor Richard Kelton affected production of the miniseries; how Andy Griffith saved the life of Sharon Gless during filming of the final episode; and how executive producer John Wilder originally wanted James Garner to narrate the series, instead of David Janssen. Centennial Revisited is available in hardcover, paperback, and as an eBook from DorrancePublishing.com, Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and includes exclusive interviews with more than thirty cast members of the epic miniseries, including Gregory Harrison, Barbara Carrera, Cristina Raines, Cliff DeYoung, Mark Harmon, William Atherton, Glynn Turman, Les Lannom, and executive producer John Wilder.

A July 4th episode: Lou Gehrig's farewell and slight return, Joe DiMaggio flashes back to the Iron Horse streak, the National League is founded in the Centennial year as things go very wrong for George Custer (couldn't have happened to a nicer guy), one of Sitting Bull's kids gets baseball fever, and a .400 hitter sickens and vanishes from history because of a sometimes-flexible “rule.” The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?Body Fall.Wooden Floor.Vinil Floor Covering x5_EM.mp3 by newlocknew

#music #milesdavis #mitchhampton #booklunch #booktube #jazztube #musiceducationMay 26 of this year of 2026 marked the Centennial of Miles Davis' birth. For this book lunch I will review and examine two books on jazz, making this the second time I have covered a nonfiction book on musical subject (Laurie Verchomin's The Big Love on Bill Evans being the other one). I purposely chose two rather different books as a meditation on the many different styles of covering real life subjects; Marc Meyers' Why Jazz Happened and James Kaplan's 3 Shades Of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the Lost Empire of Cool. This Book Lunch topic will be the first of two parts on the two books.More on this ongoing series, here:June Book Lunch:” 3 Shades Of Blue and Why Jazz Happened” Part 1May 26 of this year of 2026 marked the Centennial of Miles Davis' birth. For this book lunch I will review and examine two books on jazz, making this the second time I have covered a nonfiction book on musical subject (Laurie Verchomin's The Big Love on Bill Evans being the other one.)I purposely chose two rather different books as a meditation on the many different styles of covering real life subjects; Marc Meyers' Why Jazz Happened and James Kaplan's 3 Shades Of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the Lost Empire of Cool. While the Myer's book is a utilitarian history suffused with all sorts of important facts about jazz its own genre with its own story, Kaplan's book is an artful, poetic account of the same era. I will feature excerpts from both and reflect not only on the state of Jazz music but upon the state of prose in social and music hostly in general.Direct Link to our episode with the magnificent Laurie Verchomin and her book on Bill Evans:Please enjoy these supplemental, educational videos for this stream:   • Fine And Mellow   Billie Holiday With Cole...     • Original Dixieland Jass Band - Livery Stab...     • Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra - Mot...

If you blink, you'll miss it—but you won't want to! We break down the ultimate Arcadia day trip itinerary, including: The Arcadia Round Barn: Discover the incredible history of this 1898 engineering marvel. Learn how local farmer William Harrison Odor bent raw wooden boards to create a wind-resistant masterpiece long before Route 66 even existed. POPS 66: The modern roadside landmark you literally cannot miss. Home to a 66-foot-tall neon soda bottle and a diner stocking over 700 varieties of soda.

OK County 66 Museum: A must-stop spot overflowing with vintage memorabilia dedicated entirely to Mother Road history. Arcadia Lake: The perfect 2,000-acre reservoir detour if you need a break from the asphalt for some hiking, fishing, or camping.

In this landmark episode of Breaking Down Barriers, EIC CEO David Ponraj sits down with one of the most influential voices in economic development—Nathan Ohle, President & CEO of the International Economic Development Council (IEDC). With 100 years of history and a pivotal centennial celebration on the horizon, Nathan shares what's driven him across two decades in the field, where the profession is headed, and what every economic developer needs to be thinking about right now.What we cover in this episode:How Nathan got into economic development — From serving as trip director for Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm to running three economic development boards during one of the worst recessions in state history, Nathan's path into the field was anything but planned. He shares how the crisis of Michigan's recession actually forced the kind of innovative, community-first thinking that has shaped his entire career.System stewardship vs. transactional economic development — Nathan breaks down a concept that's generating real conversation across the field: the shift from deal-making to system connectors. Economic developers have always been natural conveners and catalyzers—but today, that means intentionally bridging workforce, housing, childcare, education, and community planning in ways the field has never formalized before.Technology, AI, and the communities getting left behind — AI is creating extraordinary efficiency gains, but it's also moving faster than communities can keep up. Nathan speaks candidly about what IEDC is doing to equip EDOs of all sizes—from those on the cutting edge to those still catching up—and why the data center conversation is one of the most complex, community-loaded issues economic developers are navigating right now.The federal funding landscape — With a generational wave of federal investment now giving way to significant uncertainty, Nathan identifies the programs that continue to hold bipartisan support (CDBG, EDA, USDA Rural Development) and gives practical guidance on diversifying beyond federal resources.Advocacy as a core economic development function — IEDC has been deepening its advocacy work in Washington, and Nathan explains why the time to build relationships with congressional offices is before a crisis hits. He talks about storytelling, data, and why raising the profile of economic development in policymakers' minds is mission-critical.IEDC's Centennial and the Annual Conference in New Orleans — 1,700–1,800 attendees. 45+ breakout sessions. A centennial celebration at Mardi Gras World. Richard Florida as a keynote. Nathan walks through what makes the Annual Conference special (and why David calls it his favorite conference of the year).What Nathan would do differently — If he could go back, Nathan says he would have started the storytelling conversation much earlier. Because if you don't tell your story, someone else will. and it won't be the story you want told.Resources & Links:IEDC WebsiteIEDC Annual Conference — New Orleans Economic Development Research Partners (EDRP)Breaking Down Barriers is produced by Economic Impact Catalyst (EIC).

The approach and the entrance to the Los Angeles Central Library in the City's downtown, is both dramatic and inviting. The experience can conjure the feeling of entering a Cathedral. One is walking through arches, rotundas, gothic high ceilings past large posters, rare paintings and sculpture, and ahead the awesome sight of escalators facing huge figurines hanging overhead. It is from the escalators that you will have a dizzying choice of reading rooms to visit like the International Room with books in over 100 different languages, the History Room, The Literacy Room for tutoring, and so many more to explore. Christina Rice, Senior Librarian of the Photo Collection and Madeline Pena, Director of Engagement and Learning Division, are the dynamic and creative team who for over the last two years have been preparing for a grand celebration of this very 100 year old building and its history. They named this Centennial, CENTRAL 100, 1926 to 2026. The theme is, “Celebrating a Century of the Light of Learning”. It is a celebration of the architecture, of the survival of the Central Library and its role as a “crown jewel” of a Library system of 73 branches beloved in a City that has gown with it in the last 100 years. The highlight of the year long activities is the July 11th Festival to be held all day, from 10:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. Listen to Christina and Madeline and hear their stories of an iconic building welcoming people from the diversity of Los Angeles and from around the world.

The City of Los Angeles began to build a magnificent architectural beauty for its Central Library in the downtown area. As part of the ceremony to mark the building's site in 1925, a time capsule was created and buried. When the Central Library opened its doors in July of 1926, the Time Capsule was securely covered buried in a cornerstone made of Indiana Limestone. Did the Leaders of the City and the Library imagine then that this Time Capsule would not be seen nor opened for 100 years, until May of 2026? Todd Lerew, Director of Special Projects for the Los Angeles Library Foundation, tells us about that moment, the effort it took to retrieve it, and what was found once opened. For Todd, he considers that to be his greatest experience in his eleven year career at the Library. This historic event came about for the celebration of the Centennial of the iconic building's architectural achievement and the importance of Libraries to the citizens of Los Angeles. The Time Capsule will be part of the July 11 Centennial Festival to be held at the Central Library, 630 West 5th Street, Los Angeles, 90071, phone (213) 228-7000. Come join the free fun on July 11th and throughout the year for CENTRAL 100, 1926 to 2026, with the theme, “Celebrating a Century of the Light of Learning”.

The Denver fix and flip market 2026 is producing a strange combination. Strong showing activity and soft offer volume. One Arvada property sat through 57 showings in 44 days. The deal that finally came in fell apart when the buyer’s grandmother refused to release the down payment. That’s the market Derek Marlin is navigating right now. Derek Marlin founded Elevation in 2014. The company does fix and flips, wholesaling, fee-based project management, and runs a brokerage team at eXp. He also runs the Elevation Academy and the Broadway Collective, a Denver co-work space that recently hit 100% occupancy. His team runs 3 company flips at a time and operates at roughly 85% off-market acquisition volume. In this conversation, Derek Marlin and Chris break down the Denver fix and flip market 2026 from the ground up. Motivated sellers are still anchored to 2021 valuations. Carrying costs add up fast when deals drag 6 weeks longer than planned. Derek also walks through his 4-offer model. It gives sellers a cash offer, a fix-in option, a fee-based consulting path, or a partnership flip. The partnership flip now requires putting the seller on title in an LLC before Elevation funds the rehab. That change came after too many sellers changed their minds mid-project. In this episode we cover: Why 57 showings in 44 days produced almost no offers and what Derek Marlin thinks that signals about buyer behavior in the Denver fix and flip market right now The Arvada flip case study at 8506 Union Circle, $60K rehab, listed at $725K, 57 showings, one terminated contract, and a final sale near $700K How a grandmother ended a $719K deal 3 days after inspection by refusing to release the down payment funds The 4-offer model Elevation uses with every seller, and why the partnership flip structure now requires LLC title transfer before any rehab capital goes in Why Derek Marlin is running 85% off-market and what ratio he actually wants to hit The tear gas house case study, a SWAT-raided Centennial property taken to studs, $405K in rehab, sold near $1.4M, with the client clearing $181K in 6 months What Elevation Academy covers in a full day and what the $997 includes Derek Marlin’s outlook on the Denver fix and flip market, optimistic long-term, defensive on underwriting right now Derek Marlin’s direct, data-grounded take on current conditions is the kind of real-time Colorado flip intel you won’t find anywhere else.

Een TORcast geheel gewijd aan de muziek van Miles Davis. Miles werd honderd jaar geleden (op 26 mei 1926) geboren en ontwikkelde zich tot één van de belangrijkste musici, niet alleen in de geschiedenis van de jazz maar in die van hele hedendaagse muziek.  In deze TORcast laat Willem Habers een selectie van zijn favoriete Davis-opnames horen. Geen uitputtende opsomming, geen verantwoord chronologisch overzicht, geen doorwrocht spectrum van ’s mans invloeden en werk maar een heel persoonlijke keuze uit het gigantische oeuvre van deze jazzgigant. Playlist: So What Miles Davis (trompet), Bill Evans (piano), Cannonball Adderly (altsax), John Coltrane (tenorsax), Paul Chambers (bas), Jimmy Cobb (drums) Move met Gerry Mulligan, Max Roach, Lee Konitz, Karl Winding en John Barber (tuba) If I Were A Bell Miles Davis (tp), Red Garland (piano), John Coltrane (tenorsax), Paul Chambers (bas), Philly Jo Jones (drums) Someday My Prince Will Come Miles Davis (tp), John Coltrane (sax), Hank Mobley (sax), Wynton Kelly (piano), Psul Chambers (bas), Jimmy Cobb (drums) My Funny Valentine Miles Davis (trompet), Herbie Hancock (piano), Wayne Shorter (tenorsax), Ron Carter (bas), Tony Williams (drums) Générique – Ascenseur pour l’echafaud Miles Davis (trompet), Barney Wilen (sax), René Urtreger (piano), Pierre Michelot (bas) en Kenny Clarke (drums) Concierto de Aranjuez: Adagio Miles Davis (trompet), orkest onder leiding van Gil Evans Een paar bespiegelingen… De muziek van Miles Davis is niet slechts een hoofdstuk in de geschiedenis van de jazz; zij is een voortdurend herlezing van wat muziek kan zijn. Wie naar Davis luistert, hoort niet alleen noten, maar ook een bepaalde houding ten opzichte van tijd, stilte en vernieuwing. Zijn oeuvre lijkt zich steeds te onttrekken aan elke definitie die men erop loslaat. Dat maakt zijn betekenis filosofisch relevant: Davis laat zien dat identiteit niet iets statisch is, maar een proces van voortdurende transformatie. Een van de opvallendste kenmerken van zijn muziek is het gebruik van ruimte. In albums als *Kind of Blue* wordt stilte niet als leegte ervaren, maar als een actief element. Deze benadering roept vragen op over de aard van expressie zelf. Moet muziek altijd gevuld zijn, of kan juist het weglaten een diepere vorm van communicatie zijn? Davis' antwoord lijkt te zijn dat betekenis ontstaat in de spanning tussen klank en stilte. Daarmee sluit hij aan bij een bredere existentiële intuïtie: dat wat niet gezegd wordt, vaak even belangrijk is als wat wel wordt uitgesproken. Daarnaast belichaamt Davis het idee van artistieke vrijheid als morele houding. Hij weigerde zich te conformeren aan de verwachtingen van zijn publiek of de industrie. Telkens wanneer hij succes bereikte—of het nu ging om bebop, modal jazz of fusion—koos hij ervoor om een nieuwe richting in te slaan. In die zin is zijn carrière een praktijk van wat de filosoof Nietzsche “zelfoverwinning” noemde: het voortdurend achterlaten van het oude zelf om ruimte te maken voor het nieuwe. Deze radicale trouw aan vernieuwing maakt hem tot een bron van inspiratie voor hedendaagse musici. De invloed van Miles Davis op huidige jazzmuzikanten ligt dan ook niet alleen in specifieke harmonieën of technieken, maar in een manier van denken. Moderne jazz kenmerkt zich door hybriditeit: invloeden van hiphop, elektronische muziek en wereldmuziek vloeien samen tot nieuwe vormen. Deze openheid is rechtstreeks schatplichtig aan Davis' grensverleggende experimenten, vooral in zijn latere werk zoals *Bitches Brew*. Hij legitimeerde het idee dat jazz geen afgesloten traditie is, maar een permeabel veld waarin alles kan worden opgenomen. Ten slotte blijft Davis relevant omdat hij de luisteraar actief betrekt. Zijn muziek vraagt om aandacht, om interpretatie, om een zekere existentiële inzet. Zij is nooit volledig transparant; er blijft altijd iets ongrijpbaars. In een tijd waarin muziek vaak als achtergrondconsumptie fungeert, herinnert Davis ons eraan dat luisteren een vorm van denken is. Zo bezien is Miles Davis niet alleen een muzikant, maar een filosoof in klank. Zijn erfenis leeft voort in elke muzikant die durft te experimenteren, te twijfelen en opnieuw te beginnen—en in elke luisteraar die bereid is om in die zoektocht mee te gaan.

Een TORcast geheel gewijd aan de muziek van Miles Davis. Miles werd honderd jaar geleden (op 26 mei 1926) geboren en ontwikkelde zich tot één van de belangrijkste musici, niet alleen in de geschiedenis van de jazz maar in die van hele hedendaagse muziek.  In deze TORcast laat Willem Habers een selectie van zijn favoriete Davis-opnames horen. Geen uitputtende opsomming, geen verantwoord chronologisch overzicht, geen doorwrocht spectrum van ’s mans invloeden en werk maar een heel persoonlijke keuze uit het gigantische oeuvre van deze jazzgigant.

Wie naar Davis luistert, hoort niet alleen noten, maar ook een bepaalde houding ten opzichte van tijd, stilte en vernieuwing. Zijn oeuvre lijkt zich steeds te onttrekken aan elke definitie die men erop loslaat. Dat maakt zijn betekenis filosofisch relevant: Davis laat zien dat identiteit niet iets statisch is, maar een proces van voortdurende transformatie. Een van de opvallendste kenmerken van zijn muziek is het gebruik van ruimte. In albums als *Kind of Blue* wordt stilte niet als leegte ervaren, maar als een actief element. Deze benadering roept vragen op over de aard van expressie zelf. Moet muziek altijd gevuld zijn, of kan juist het weglaten een diepere vorm van communicatie zijn? Davis' antwoord lijkt te zijn dat betekenis ontstaat in de spanning tussen klank en stilte. Daarmee sluit hij aan bij een bredere existentiële intuïtie: dat wat niet gezegd wordt, vaak even belangrijk is als wat wel wordt uitgesproken. Daarnaast belichaamt Davis het idee van artistieke vrijheid als morele houding. Hij weigerde zich te conformeren aan de verwachtingen van zijn publiek of de industrie. Telkens wanneer hij succes bereikte—of het nu ging om bebop, modal jazz of fusion—koos hij ervoor om een nieuwe richting in te slaan. In die zin is zijn carrière een praktijk van wat de filosoof Nietzsche “zelfoverwinning” noemde: het voortdurend achterlaten van het oude zelf om ruimte te maken voor het nieuwe. Deze radicale trouw aan vernieuwing maakt hem tot een bron van inspiratie voor hedendaagse musici. De invloed van Miles Davis op huidige jazzmuzikanten ligt dan ook niet alleen in specifieke harmonieën of technieken, maar in een manier van denken.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Rhys Martin, President of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association and Preserve Route 66 Manager for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. We explore the fascinating history and ongoing cultural impact of Route 66, and how this 2,448-mile linear village has driven economic growth and inspired travelers around the world for nearly a century. As Route 66 gears up for its Centennial Celebration, Rhys shares behind-the-scenes insights on managing a celebration of this magnitude, the creative events planned along the legendary highway, and how local and national organizations are working together to secure Route 66's legacy for future generations. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Rhys became passionate about Route 66 and took on leadership roles in both local and national organizations dedicated to its preservation Why Route 66 remains a powerful economic engine and cultural icon for communities What makes the centennial celebration of Route 66 such a significant milestone How planning such a widespread, multi-state centennial collaboration is managed How communities along Route 66 have adapted to changes over time, reinventing themselves to stay vibrant and relevant after the highway was bypassed Why increased communication and collaboration among state associations, local businesses, and international partners is crucial to ongoing success What creative and large-scale events, like the Capitol Cruise and national caravans, are being organized to celebrate Route 66's 100th anniversary How the Route 66 experience builds authentic connections between travelers, communities, and cultures Cultural Legacy of Route 66 Route 66 is a linear village, a chain of communities bound together by shared history and mutual destiny. Its legacy is evident in the preservation of historic theaters, vintage motels, quirky museums, and neon-lit diners, all lovingly maintained by local volunteers and business owners committed to keeping the legend alive. Over time, especially as interstates bypassed many towns, Route 66 evolved, communities that once faced decline have reinvented themselves as hubs of nostalgia and culture. Planning the Centennial With eight states and thousands of miles to coordinate, the Route 66 Centennial is a massive collaborative endeavor. Rhys shares how, since the 1980s, state Route 66 associations have formed a grassroots network, filling the organizational gap left when the federal designation was removed in 1985. These groups work together to create unified celebrations, coordinate marketing efforts, and share resources, exemplifying how communication and a shared purpose can overcome even vast geographical distances. The centennial plans include an ambitious Capital Cruise in Tulsa, aiming for a Guinness World Record with over 3,000 classic cars, cross-country caravans, and international motorcycle tours. The centennial is as diverse and dynamic as the road itself. Lessons in Partnership and Unity At the heart of Route 66's success is partnership, communication, and an ethos of shared benefit. What happens in Oklahoma brings value to New Mexico and Texas, and vice versa. The route becomes a metaphor for unity, proving that travel, when rooted in conversation and curiosity, can bridge differences and create genuine human connection.
