(Every time I f***ing hit "refresh", it's dropping, man. And the fact that we're not doesn't make me feel alright and superior. When the hell did we forget all that? I thought we were better than this, I really did. Not once.Įventually, people get caught, things go south. It's that, for 15,000 years, fraud and short-sighted thinking have never, ever worked. What bothers me isn't that fraud is not nice or that fraud is mean. Not just in banking, but in government, education, religion, food, even baseball. (Bear Stearns is denying rumors of liquidity problems.Holy f***, it's 39 now!) Now, anyone who knows me knows that I have no problem telling someone they're wrong. I'm glad you still have a sense of humor I wouldn't if I were you. Wall Street took a good idea, Lewis Ranieri's mortgage bond, and turned it into an atomic bomb of fraud and stupidity that's on its way to decimating the world economy. No, as a matter of fact, when we're done here, I'll probably go out and buy some more. Now, I take it you have no plans to sell your $200 million in Bear stock? Of course, we're gonna have to wait and see how the markets react, but that should lay to rest any concerns about the bank's health.

Hopefully, learning more about these library pioneers will inspire further exploration of other trailblazing Black American librarians. However, this is not an exhaustive list and represents only a fraction of the black librarians who have made significant contributions to librarianship. Here are 13 pioneering Black American librarians you’ve probably never heard of, but should definitely know. At these universities, the majority of black librarians were trained, made significant contributions to library science, and left a legacy for future librarians of all races. Many of the libraries Carnegie built were academic libraries at Historically Black Colleges and Universities like Tuskegee Institute, Atlanta University, Fisk University, and Howard University. Concurrently, there was an increase of libraries being built across the United States partly due to the philanthropy of Andrew Carnegie. Professional librarianship began in 1876 with the formation of the American Library Association, the founding of American Library Journal, and the publication of Melvil Dewey’s decimal-based system of classification.

What’s less well known is Scott took more than 30 others to Antarctica, where they spent two years conducting extensive scientific experiments, as well as preparing for the attempt on the pole. Captain Scott emerged as a tragic hero whose story has achieved almost mythical status. The race for the poles caught the popular imagination, the conquest of the South Pole in particular.
