  DEAN - LoveToKnow Article on DEAN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The dean is indeed second to the bishop in rank and dignity, and he is the head of the presbyteral college or chapter; but his functions in no wise consist in administering any affairs in the absence of the bishop.
It is thought by some ~that the rural dean is the lineal successor of the chore pisco pus, who in the early church was the assistant of the bishop, discharging most, if not all, episcopal functions in the rural districts of the diocese.
The deans of the old foundation before the Ecclesiastical Commissioners Act 1841 were elected by the chapter on the kings cong dlire; and the deans of the new foundation (and, since the act, of the old foundation also) are appointed by the kings letters patent.

 Dean (religion) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In most of the Anglican Communion the dean is the chief resident clergyperson of a cathedral or other collegiate church and the head of the chapter of canons.
In the Church of England, this official is called a "rural dean" or sometimes, in urban areas, an "area dean" or "regional dean".
In the Scottish Episcopal Church a dean is the equivalent of an archdeacon of a diocese.

 Dean
The immediate administrative necessities of the numerous rural parishes were provided for by the appointment of several archpriests, who represented either the bishop or the archdeacon, and were originally the priests having charge of baptismal churches.
In some English dioceses the deans merely preside at the monthly conference; in others the bishop gives them faculties to dispense in certain cases, and they have care of the temporalities of the churches in their districts when there is a change of rector.
In modern Catholic universities the dean is an officer chosen by the professors of his faculty to represent them as a body, to preside over their meetings, and to supervise the regularity of the ordinary academic exercises.

 Iowa Ag Connection - Howard Dean Presents Rural Development Plan in Iowa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Dean, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, said Wednesday that the foundation of the nation's rural economy is crumbling under the Bush administration, which he said supports corporations and not family farmers who are tied directly to the success of rural economies.
Dean outlined his proposal in front of a group of local residents, farmers and environmentalists who gathered at Dike Lake in Grundy County in northeast Iowa.
Dean said his goal is not only to revive rural economies through measures such as seeking a 50 percent boost in grants to aid businesses, but also to reward sound environmental stewardship and return the virtues of capitalism and competition to American agriculture.

"Rural American would be stronger and so would the country be stronger because the values of places like this are the values that are good for the rest of the country," he said.
Dean repeated his argument that any Bush cuts aimed to benefit the middle class were wiped out because of increases in local and school spending.
Dean agreed, and said his first budget as president would call on the federal government to send states all the money they need to pay for special education, a sore spot with many school districts, which have to boost local taxes for the federally required programs.

 ajc.com | Opinion | Dean's rural strategy creates a major player   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Dean, who recently made the cover of three national newsweeklies, appears to be the one challenger to George W. Bush who is putting a new spin on the time-tested strategy of populism.
Rather than pandering to traditional Democratic power groups such as trial attorneys, unions or urban bosses, he is focusing on rural America and the thousands of towns and smaller cities that serve it as centers of daily life.
But Dean has since been joined by other Democratic presidential candidates who may not openly renounce the war effort, but are openly criticizing the Bush White House for its inability to produce evidence of weapons of mass destruction and for the continued bloody disorder in post-Saddam Iraq.

Dean was doing well in Iowa before the war but his anti-war views broke him from the pack.
Yet Dean avoided becoming just an anti-war candidate by focusing on other issues, such as balanced budgets and health care and leaving gun control to the states.
Dean is also organizing gays and lesbians, folks he energized when he signed a bill authorizing civil unions in Vermont.

One of Dean's attractive features is the way he unsettles the party hacks who are concerned that his opposition to the Iraq invasion and his call to repeal Bush's tax cuts for the rich could hurt the party's chances of winning back the White House and Congress.
Dean took some heat when his rivals misconstrued his statement that he wanted to be the candidate for whites who drive pickups with Confederate flags, but he was right in believing that the Democratic Party cannot afford to write off Southern whites.
Dean doesn't plan to let Karl Rove set the agenda in a 2004 replay of the GOP "Southern Strategy" of purposely dividing the country over "guns, God and gays" and stirring up racial prejudices to win elections.

 New Frames: Can Dean's strategy turn rural Oregon blue?
Dean appeals well to the value of rugged individualism that is so prevalent in the western states, but at the same time he doesn't abandon the notion that government can make a difference in people's lives, particularly local government.
Later Dean was elected Chair of the DNC, but by then the Rural Caucus already had draft bylaws and was engaged in the process of jumping through the hoops to become a caucus within the Party.
Rural Oregonians have children in school, and they have had enough of Minnis sending the House of Representatives on vacation while she works on cutting the budget, laying off teachers, and reducing the school year.

 James Dean - What would he have grown up to be? By John Swansburg
Fifty years ago, James Dean died in a violent car accident on his way to Salinas, Calif. His mangled Porsche was dispatched on a tour of the country soon after to scare kids into driving safely, only to be picked clean by fans lusting after a tangible piece of the Dean legend.
Dean's mother, who nurtured his creative energies, died of cancer when her son was 8, after the family had moved to Los Angeles.
But to have been a convincing Hamlet, Dean would have had to draw on more than his travails with his own father—there's a difference between teenage angst (who am I?) and existential angst (to be, or not to be?).

 Dean Nation: The Red States
Some of the other Democratic contenders aren't as well positioned as Dean in rural states, according to John Nichols, who argues in the most recent issue of The Nation that many of the Red States are winnable.
But rural voters also bring unique demands to the table--for constraints on agribusiness conglomerates, new approaches to trade policy and a renewed federal commitment to rural development.
And while Dean is often portrayed as the darling of the East and West Coasts, his "Farmers and Ranchers for Dean" campaign has made progress in states like Iowa and North Dakota.

 Not Geniuses: Defending Rural America
Matthew Yglesias, whose thoughts I typically thoroughly respect, makes another post trashing "rural subsidies." Opposing farm subsidies is something that is pretty easy in large urban settings, where the various forms of government subsidies are not always as clear.
Not all of his solutions are perfect, but writing off rural states as quickly as Yglesias does shows exactly the "coastal" arrogance among so many liberals that will continue to cost Democrats elections in the middle states for year to come.
If rural America collapses and their is more migration from rural areas to the citys and suburbs you'll be in for one heck of a lot more urban sprawl than we've got now...
