Black Friday is upping the ante this year by starting nearly five hours earlier than in previous years.

In years past, die-hard bar-gain hunters were forced to wake up at the crack of dawn to catch Black Friday sales, which started around 4 a.m. or 5 a.m; but this year, busi-nesses such as Target, Best Buy, Macy’s and Kohl’s are opening their doors to the public at midnight.

Norman’s two Walmart lo-cations will start its sales at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

An estimated 152 mil-lion people are expected to shop during this year’s Black Friday, according to a report from National Retail Federation — nearly a 10-per-cent increase from last year.

Mark Cejda, team leader of the Target in Norman, said the Norman branch opened its doors to the public at 4 a.m. during last year’s Black Friday, but this year they will be opening at midnight to be competitive with other major retailers.

“Our circular for Black Friday will come out on Thanksgiving. It will be deliv-ered with the (Oklahoman) newspaper and will also be available online,” Cejda said.

The Walmart ad for Black Fr iday came out in the Sunday paper and will come out again Thursday. There will be an online version of the ad available; how-ever, there will be no copies

The university is paying $75,000 to a pro-fessor and giving him one year to find a new job after his research was suspended for violating protocols and experimenting on students.

Health and exercise science professor

Chad Kerksick’s tenure-track position was not renewed and was placed on a leave of absence after students accused him of un-ethical research practices, according to doc-uments obtained by The Daily.

Kerksick was removed from his duties Sept. 2, according to a settlement agree-ment between Kerksick and the OU Board of

Regents. The regents approved the

agreement during their Sept. 19 meeting.

The professor admitted to not following proper proce-dures by enrolling unquali-fied research participants — including himself — into a study about creatine nitrate, an exercise supplement. OU terminated his research in June.

Kerksick challenged the university’s deci-sion to remove his tenure-track position and called it a “depravation of rights” and “vio-lation of state and federal laws.” OU denied those allegations but reached a settlement agreement.

The agreement gives Kerksick a $75,000 check in his name and an academic year of unpaid leave, which will end June 30 or when Kerksick finds full-time employment.

Once the professor finds a job, he must

Class of 2016 gaining entry

JAKE MORGANStaff Reporter

Numerous students will breathe a sigh of relief as the OU College of Medicine accepts its newest slew of applicants to the class of 2016 through its early roll-ing admissions.

Dr. Sherri Baker , the col-lege’s associate dean for ad-missions, said the college accepts a certain number of the upcoming class dur-ing the early acceptance period.

“Those students applying early typically have equiva-lent or better qualifications than the previous year,” Baker said.

Students who miss the deadline will be deferred to February for a decision, but those who applied early typ-ically receive their decision within two to three weeks of their interview, Baker said.

“While we do use early acceptance, we differ from other colleges in that we don’t commit those accept-ed to attend OU,” Baker said. “They are able to receive ac-ceptances from other col-leges up to May 15.”

Kristy Nguyen , one of the newest additions to the medical school, said she has always wanted to at-tend medical school and decided on OU’s College of Medicine upon arriving as a freshman.

Senior middle blocker Carlee Roethlisberger (7) hits against Texas A&M on Saturday. The Sooners won the first set but were unable to fight off the Aggies and lost the match, 3-1. Roethlisberger and her fellow senior teammates play their final regular-season games this weekend against Texas Tech in Norman and Texas in Austin, games that could improve their postseason standing.

Seniors to bid farewell to Norman

LUKE MCCONNELLSports Reporter

The OU volleyball team won’t be taking much of a break for Thanksgiving when it faces its last two oppo-nents of the regular season this week.

The Sooners host Texas Tech at 7 p.m. Wednesday at McCasland Field House. It will be Senior Night for the Sooners as the team honors Brianne Barker, Suzy Boulavksy, Caitlin Higgins, Kylie Cowan and Carlee

Roethlisberger. This group of seniors came into the season with high

hopes for a Big 12 championship and at least an Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA tournament. While their Big 12 championship hopes have been dashed, the Sooners can improve their stock for the tourna-ment by winning these last two games.

OU has struggled in the second half of the season, going just 1-5, including a four-match losing streak, to start the second half. OU seemed to get things back on track with a 3-1 win at Kansas last Wednesday but fell

Accusations of unethical practices prompt university to not renew researcher’s tenure-track position

most difficult part of the admissions process, mi-crobiology senior Nguyen said.

“The essays were dif-f icult becaus e I w ent through so many revi-sions. After a while, all the words just kind of jumbled together,” she said.

Though the anticipa-tion might foster anxi-ety for some students, Nguyen said she tried her best to stick to her normal regimen.

“I actually tried to put the whole acceptance thing out of my mind,” Nguyen said. “Though, when my friend called and said that letters were

sent, I dropped everything and drove home to open the letter with my family!”

Jamie Quitoriano, also a re-cent addition to the medical school class of 2016, said she handled her pre-acceptance apprehension differently by venting to everybody.

“ I i n t e r v i e w e d o n a Thursday and heard back by the following Tuesday,” Quitoriano said. “So I basi-cally just tried to keep myself busy with studying and tell-ing everyone, ‘I wish they’d just sent out their decision already.’”

studies senior Tyler Phillips, who works at Best Buy in Norman, said the ad for Best Buy’s Black Friday will be available in the Oklahoman’s T h u r s d a y ’s p a p e r a n d at s t o re s T ha n k s g i v i n g morning.

“Some ads have already leaked online,” Phillips said.

Management information systems junior Gill Cerros, an employee at Best Buy in Midwest City, will be working the highly anticipated mid-night sale, which started at 5

a.m. last year. This is his third year to work the Black Friday shift for the company.

“There are people out there crazy enough to wait all Thanksgiving and stand in line for cheap presents” Cerros said. “They have tick-ets for all the good items, and they pass out tickets before the store opens. Usually by 6 to 7 (a.m.), most of the items are gone.”

This means most of the items were gone one or two hours after Best Buy opened its doors.

Mechanical engineering junior Matt Oesterle will not be taking part in any of the stores’ sales this year because

he said he would rather avoid the lines, crowds and chaos Black Friday typically entails.

“ I don’t want to deal with that crap. People die,” Oesterle said. “Someone died one year. They got tackled at Walmart.”

Oesterle is referring to a 2008 Black Friday fatal-ity when a temporary store employee, Jdimytai Damour died at a Walmart in Valley

Stream, N.Y. A crowd of about 2,000 people broke down the store’s doors, trap-ping Damour in a vestibule and causing him to die of as-phyxiation, according to USA Today.

Cerros has never seen anyone get hurt at Best Buy during the last three Black Fridays he has worked, which he attributes to Best Buy effectively controlling its crowds.

“Last year [Best Buy] let them in 20 to 30 at a time and spaced them out by two to three minutes so it wasn’t hectic, and they weren’t kill-ing each other,” Cerros said.

tender a resignation letter within five days of said em-ployment. If he does not find a job, Kerksick must still sub-mit a resignation letter by June 1.

During his employment search, Kerksick is allowed to represent OU as an employee, but he is not allowed to work at an institution governed by the OU Board of Regents, ac-cording to the settlement.

As part of the agreement, Kerksick and the university also agreed not to pursue further legal action or make negative public statements about each other.

When The Daily reported the initial story Nov. 14, uni-versity spokesman Michael Nash said Kerksick was still under investigation by the OU Institutional Review Board and the university wanted to maintain confi-dentiality about the issue.

At press time, Kerksick was still listed online as an OU

When contacted, Kerksick said he had no comment about the investigation or subsequent events.

Nash said he could not speak specifically on the agreement because of con-fidentiality but said the uni-versity fully evaluated the situation.

“I can verify that any agree-ment the university enters into is entered into only after a full evaluation of all facts and surrounding circum-stances and following a thor-ough negotiation process that takes into account the costs and benefits of each term,” Nash said in an email.

The New York Post recently ran an article with

the headline “The end of Down syndrome.” In it, reporter Mayrav Saar tells readers that “a new, simple way to detect Down syndrome in a fetus means the condition will be virtually extinct — but not without a great deal of controversy.”

Until recently, the only ways to detect Down syndrome early put mothers at risk for miscarriage because they re-moved pieces of placenta or sampled amniotic fluid for testing.

With the introduction of MaterniT21, a San Diego-based company was able to detect 98.6 percent of Down syndrome cases, according to the articl e.

This would give families time to seek counsel from pro-fessionals, family and friends as well as prepare to raise a child with Down and seek financial (and other) assis-tance. Furthermore, there is great cause to rejoice in the fact that unborn children would no longer be put at risk when tested.

This discovery comes with sad consequences, however.Surveys show that 92 percent of mothers whose unborn

children test positive for the condition choose to abort. With the introduction of MaterniT21, Saar writes, “it’s

likely to make testing for Down syndrome common for almost all expectant mothers,” and “experts” project that along with that wider knowledge base demand will in-crease to abort unborn children with Down.

Some argue that this might be a good thing. Paul Root Wolpe, director of the Center for Ethics at Emory University , reflects on the matter: “What you end up hav-ing is a world without people with Down syndrome. ... And the question becomes, is that a good thing or bad thing?”

For now, the only way to accomplish a “world with-out people with Down syndrome” is through human abortion.

Down has often been used in discussions about abor-tion to justify its continuance. Some argue that we should have reverence for the lives of those with Down based on their practical value to society. Louise Borke , the mother of a child with Down, does this in the Post’s article. She states “people with Down syndrome are not charity cases.”

The weakness of pragmatic arguments like Borke’s is that sometimes people with Down and other debilitating diseases are entirely dependent on people’s charity.

Perceived social utility and “wantedness” are often the criteria appealed to when aiming for a world with only Down-free or “wanted” babies. If these were our only guides, it really wouldn’t be a terrible thing to eliminate those with Down (born and unborn) from our population.

However, such actions would be wrong because per-ceived social utility and “wantedness” are not the source of human value. (And even if they were, do we really trust ourselves to determine what true utility is? Or do we not recognize that these children might be wanted by others).

The Christian worldview says a human’s value is far more intrinsic than his or her contribution to society, and we all know this. We show it when we contend for the rights of women, the unborn, immigrants, those on death row, the poor and others.

Only a theological approach can really confirm what many of us already know: Regardless of who they are, people have value because they are made that way — in the image of God.

It is ironic that those worldviews that place humankind at the center are the same that undermine our inherent value. They are similar to those who do not realize the Earth’s glory is found in revolving around the sun, not vice versa — if the cosmology were inverted, we would all be exterminated and when we adopt a humanistic ethic, we are all dehumanized.

Holding a different worldview, we can begin to realize our inherent value as humans. We must recognize all hu-mans have value and not be silent in contending for their lives.

This includes people with Down syndrome and those without it, both born and unborn.

Trevor Clark is a religious studies and professional writing senior.

While legislation such as the Stop Online Piracy Act is being considered in Congress, it is critical that the people of the United States re-evaluate the function and imple-mentation of copyright and patent laws. The concept be-hind patent law is that through our government, entities are able to claim ownership of a certain idea or invention. The ownership of such rights gives an entity the exclusive production, marketing and usage rights to their idea or in-vention. While this is a great idea that theoretically rewards innovative thought, abuse of these laws has done more to hinder innovative thought than stimulate it.

Corporations have the ability to horde these patents as weapons in a legal arsenal. The use of these patents against competitors is an all too common theme in the legal wars played out in the technology industry.

It is difficult to draw the line on what is an idea worth protecting and what is not. This has lead to the approval of patents for things such as unlocking a phone using a ges-ture on a touch screen, updating software over the Internet and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the edges re-moved. Once these ideas are patented and secured, no one

else has the ability to use, produce or sell them. The pro-tection of such generalized ideas is a danger to any startup and restricts the innovation that comes with collaboration.

The current generation is also plagued with copyright limitations that discourage creativity and the evolution of media. Artists such as Girl Talk and Danger Mouse use samples from existing music and alter it to create new piec-es. Mashup artists not only cut and paste the samples from other music, but alter the pitch, speed and other aspects of the song to create new music. Is it such a dangerous con-cept that music itself can be used as an instrument? What if a copyright were placed on chords of a guitar? Or on the sounds of a drumkit?

So while you are taking the time to consider the impli-cations of SOPA and its deterioration of a free and open Internet, be sure to consider the implications of laws al-ready in place. Innovation and creativity are not things we can afford to lose, and we must regain the rights we have already lost.

Our View: The Stop Online Piracy Act would violate privacy, allow censorship and harm the open nature of the Internet.

The Stop Online Piracy Act, a bill before the House Judiciary Committee, would drastically ex-pand government control of the Internet. It repre-sents a serious and immediate threat.

If this bill passes, your access to sites like Facebook and Twitter could be limited. That video on Facebook of you singing along to Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” could land you in jail. The sites you get your infor-mation from, such as WikiLeaks or any blog that links to such a site, could disappear.

The act would require Internet service providers to block access to sites that contain in-fringing content, after a simple complaint from copyright holders. It would also require advertise-ment networks and payment services to revoke ser-vice to these sites, and search engines to hide links to them.

Originally created to help block out fake products from foreign countries, the bill has been expanded to regulate the Internet domestically.

These additions will not only harm our ability to innovate and lead in the online market, they vio-late core American ideals.

It violates expectations of privacyIn order for service providers to block specific

content and Internet protocol addresses, they would have to use a technique called deep packet inspection. This entails collecting and analyzing every byte of data users send and receive.

This practice was condemned by a bipartisan group of U.S. House members in 2008, and it raises serious privacy concerns. How is this different from widespread, government-mandated wiretapping?

If this practice becomes common — even court-mandated — it will do away with any expectation of privacy. Users’ browsing data will be routinely collected and monitored, and citizens will have no control over what happens to that data afterward.

Cell phone companies already hold customers’ browsing data for years; the same would most likely be true of service providers.

Its punishments go too farSOPA would invalidate the current protection

for search engines and sites that host user-created content, making them liable for infringing content they link to or host. This would leave Google and other major search engines vulnerable to expen-sive lawsuits and make sites such as YouTube and Tumblr virtually impossible to sustain.

Even sites like Facebook and Twitter have ex-pressed concern that they could be targeted be-cause of content their users post.

The bill also would make it a felony offense to stream content that would cost more than $2,500 to license — less than the average cost for a pop song.

The system described in this bill would consider sites guilty until proven innocent. With a simple injunction, the attorney general could order a site censored, with the burden of proof on the owners to demonstrate that the accusations are false.

The service providers themselves could face se-rious penalties for not complying with the court orders, which will take a serious commitment of

resources to fulfill, essentially turning these com-panies into the Department of Justice’s censorship department.

It will open the door to abuseThe bill’s wording is vague. This open language

could, and would, be abused by both copyright holders and the courts.

This bill assumes complaints by copy-right holders are researched and the courts will take the time to ensure every com-plaint is proper. But that’s not reality.

Warner Bros. admitted in a 2009 hear-ing that it sent thousands of takedown requests over content it had not reviewed and did not own. The company was sim-

ply using an automated program to search for key-words. Clearly, legal content is already targeted, and this act will make it easier to do.

This behavior stemmed from a lack of resources to deal with the vast amount of material. Given the volume of these complaints, the courts likely will have the same problem. Inundated with a flood of difficulty to validate complaints, how quickly will these court orders become rubber stamps?

For that matter, how easy would it be for the gov-ernment to abuse this system to target messages that harm its agenda? This bill would put a system in place for government-mandated censorship. That is not something citizens can allow.

It threatens the nature of the InternetThe Internet is international. This bill would push

U.S. standards in a global market. The European Parliament condemned the bill, citing “the need to protect the integrity of the global Internet and free-dom of communication by refraining from unilat-eral measures to revoke IP addresses ...”

The Internet inspires innovation. This act would require vast spending by Internet companies. The financial burden and legal risks would discourage startup companies, making it next to impossible for new ideas to be fostered by small, innovative companies.

The Internet is free and open. The impor-tance of the Internet and social media has been clearly demonstrated by recent events. Those same events also illustrated how easy it is for even demo-cratic countries to fall back on censorship.

Washington, D.C., and Wall Street both face tre-mendous distrust from the public, and rightly so. This bill could not have come at a worse time, for public power and for public trust.

A similar law in the UK, the Digital Economy Act, was declared a violation of human rights by the United Nations. We have to agree. This act would risk personal information, sacrifice privacy rights and censor legitimate content.

Let’s leave the government censorship to coun-tries such as China and forestall the “Great Firewall of America.”

November 22, 2011

Many things in your chart say that you will have numerous powerful interests that you’ll want to develop in the year ahead. As you fi gure out how to progress, you’ll carry others along with you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Being clever enough to take the frail ideas of others and ingeniously remold them into hardy producers is one of your best talents, which you’ll use quite well today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Candor is essential in all your one-on-one relationships, so don’t try to blow things out of proportion just to make them more colorful. Your rhetoric could get taken seriously.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Put your organiza-tional abilities to constructive use by systemizing situations that are somewhat confusing. No one can present a more sensible plan than you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you can, you should allocate some time to doing fun things with some choice chums. You can take what would otherwise be an ordinary day and turn it into something special.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your aims and wishes would be more readily received if you fi rst set the example you wish others to follow. Don’t ask of them what you’re not willing to do yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April

19) -- You should be able to excel in activities that require partners. You’re willing to accept in others that which is lacking in yourself, and as such work quite well with most anyone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Focusing on work-related ac-tivities makes you a very productive person. Opportunities to accomplish things that you were unable to do previously will present themselves.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Positive thinking will provide ample opportunities to advance in your favorite fi eld of endeavor. The word “can’t” won’t be found in your vocabulary.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Open your heart and share your know-how when working with the less fortunate. Your generosity will bring you more delight than it may the recipients.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Conceptual changes you make regarding your plans for the day should easily work out to your satisfaction. More importantly, however, you should try to advance your dreams.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’re capable of doing most anything you want, but what would make you the happiest would be applying your effort toward doing something you consider to be truly worthwhile.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You possess an ability to make the most out of whatever is given to you in life, and are happy doing just that. No matter where

Sophomore guard Aaryn Ellenberg drives to the basket during Sunday’s 117-55 win against Sacramento State on Sunday in Norman. Ellenberg was the Sooners’ leading scorer with 28 points.

KEDRIC KITCHENSSports Reporter

The Sooners women’s basketball team opens the Vanderbilt Thanksgiving To u r n a m e n t o n F r i d a y against the Liberty Flames.

The Sooners will headline the tournament alongside hosts Vanderbilt, who take on mid-major Lipscomb Universi ty in the other opening matchup.

OU has been Jekyll and Hyde so far this season. The Sooners won their season-opener by 62, shooting al-most 60 percent from the field and nearly 50 percent from beyond the arc.

The Sooners looked like a different team entirely, however, when they took on New Mexico on Saturday in Albuquerque, N.M.

The Sooners shot an abys-mal 32 percent from the field and hit just 4 of 22 from 3-point range. Typically consistent shooters sopho-more Aaryn Ellenberg and junior Whitney Hand were a combined 1-13 from deep.

Liberty takes on Virginia-Wise on Tuesday before heading to Nashville to take on the Sooners. The Flames are 1-2 — losing most re-cently to North Carolina A & T o n F r i d a y — a n d should provide little chal-lenge for the No. 13 Sooners if OU brings its A-game.

Thanksgiving matchups may challenge team

With a win, OU most like-ly will take on Vanderbilt on Saturday. Vandy is un-defeated and has received votes for the AP top 25.

The squad has blow n

out all of their opponents s o f a r t h i s s e a s o n . Th e Commodores average near-ly 90 points a game, and OU will look to slow them down and respond in kind.

apart in a 3-1 loss to Texas A&M on Saturday at home.

The Sooners defeated Texas Tech at the beginning of October in Lubbock in a tight five-set match, but the Red Raiders have fallen on tough times since starting the season 14-2.

Texas Tech was aided in part by a soft nonconfer-ence schedule, but the Red Raiders, under first-year coach Don Flora, have been much more competitive in conference play than in years past. The Red Raiders have won more games this season than the previous three years combined.

At 4 p.m. Saturday, the Sooners take on rival Texas in Austin for the season clos-er for both teams.

The Longhorns have been on a tear as of late, rising to No. 5 in this week’s AVCA coaches’ poll.

Since losing Sept. 28 in Norman, Texas has rattled off 12 straight wins, includ-ing seven sweeps.

Texas was chosen as the team to beat in the Big 12 this year in the preseason coaches’ poll, but the loss to OU put the Sooners in the driver’s seat early on.

However, high level of play by the Longhorns, com-bined with OU’s struggles, has put Texas in first place

with two games to play. The Longhorns can clinch the championship with a win Wednesday night against Texas A&M.

This group of seniors de-feated Texas in Austin in a five-set thriller in 2008. OU will be looking to duplicate that success Saturday.

Record-setting Sooner wide receiver named finalist for Biletnikoff Award

OU senior wide receiver Ryan Broyles was named one of three finalists for the 2011 Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation’s best receiver, the team announced Monday.

Broyles joins Oklahoma State’s Justin Blackmon and Southern Cal’s Robert Woods as a finalist.

The Norman native suffered a season-ending knee injury against Texas A&M on Nov. 5, but he finished his college career with the most catches, second-most yards and fourth-most touchdown catches in NCAA history.

Broyles finished the year with 83 catches for 1,157 yards and 10 touchdowns in his final season at OU.

The winner will be announced Dec. 8.Daily staff reports

Oklahoma to take part in 76 Classic holiday tournament in California

The Oklahoma men’s basketball team travels Thursday to Anaheim, Calif., to open play in the 76 Classic tourna-ment against Washington State.

The Sooners will have to win to advance in the tourna-ment, and Oklahoma’s potential next opponent has not yet been determined.

OU is 2-0 to start the regular season with wins against Idaho State and Coppin State at home.

After sitting out the first regular-season game due to suspension, junior guard Steven Pledger started the sec-ond game against Coppin State and scored 20 points to lead all Sooners.

The game against Washington State marks OU coach Lon Kruger’s second appearance in the 76 Classic in consecutive seasons. Last season, Kruger and the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels won 76 Classic tournament.

glee cast“glee: the Music, the christmas album Volume 2”(Columbia Records)

Rating: «««

Much like a brightly lit holiday display whose lights shine a little too brightly, “Glee” always has been a hit-or-miss with both its TV and music. And its latest re-lease of shimmering, colorful covers, “The Christmas Album Volume 2,” doesn’t fail to fol-low the show’s formula of overproduced aural goodness.

Its covers again range from traditional holiday standouts such as the soaring “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and the smooth “Blue Christmas,” to more modern classics such as Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby,” with two unoriginal original songs thrown in for good fare.

I typically advise against buying an entire album of “Glee” tracks because the delicious, high-calorie goodies are found so sparingly throughout that buying the individual singles is a better idea, but this disc doesn’t suffer too much from its frequent, low-calorie low points.

“take the highway”Marshall tucker Band

The title says it all, re-ally. This song from coun-try music legend Marshall Tucker deals with every-one’s need to get away from the stresses and responsi-bilities of day-to-day life from time to time, and I’d argue it’s one of his best.

It’s a great song for turn-ing your mind toward the comforts of home.

“king haRVest has suRely coMe”the Band

Who knew a song this

funky could be produced by a bunch of Canadians?

The Band’s song deals with the back-breaking na-ture of turn-of-the-century agricultural work, but what better way to increase your appreciation for your Thanksgiving bounty than through this groovy number?

“Bolton stRetch”yonder Mountain string Band

Yonder Mountain’s entry in this list deals with the joys of putting vast stretch-es of open road – and the law – behind you.

It’s sure to get your toes tapping, perhaps save this

Thanksgiv-ing is nearly upon us, meaning it’s

time once again for road-trips home, time around the table with family and time for tryptophan-in-duced food comas.

After Black Friday, we’ll be inundated once more with the same beloved holiday songs we’ve heard a thousand times before, but where are the songs cel-ebrating the events associated with Turkey Day?

All the best moments in life deserve musical ac-companiment, and I’d argue that Thanksgiving is no less than an annual affirmation of the joys of living. For this reason, let’s take a look at a few songs I be-lieve will enhance your upcoming holiday weekend: one for when the monotony

of a long trip begins to set in.

A brief warning for those who haven’t heard it before: this song will make you want to drive very fast.

Food

The central focus of Thanksgiving is, of course, time spent at the table with friends and loved ones.

These songs should pro-vide a perfect backdrop to eating, drinking and the making of merriment.

“stoMping gRounds”Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

If you’ve never heard of Victor Wooten or Bela Fleck, there is no better

time than the present to ap-preciate their musicianship.

Fleck, playing banjo, and Wooten, on bass, have composed a fantastically up-tempo song that will compliment the happy energy surround your Thanksgiving table just fine.

“Road to gundaghi/ waltzing Matilda”chet atkins with tommy emmanuel

Once everyone is served, this understated song by Atkins and Emmanuel should suit the mood perfectly.

Play it gently in the back-ground and let its reverent, almost ethereal melodies take you to a place of calm

contentedness.

RelaxationOnce your stomach is

painfully distended, there’s little else to do than settle in for a nap or some football.

Settle in with a little jazz and let the day pass you by.

“My seRenade”django Reinhardt

Gypsy jazz pioneer Django Reinhardt can do it all.

Though he’s perhaps better known for his faster songs, this song’s slow, soothing melodies should have you dozing in no time.
