?Thank you ladies and gentlemen for a very warm reception. It was one hundred and forty-four years ago that members of the Democratic Party first met in convention to select a Presidential candidate. Since that time, Democrats have continued to convene once every four years and draft a party platform and nominate a ...
"We. We are a party -- We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future. We have a positive vision of the future founded on the belief that t...
"Let each person do his or her part. If one citizen is unwilling to participate, all of us are going to suffer. For the American idea, though it is shared by all of us, is realized in each one of us. And now, what are those of us who are elected public officials supposed to do? We call ourselves 'public servants' bu...
"I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. I join you in this meeting because I am in deepest agreement with the aims and work of the organization which has brought us together: Clergy and Laymen Concerned about Vietnam. The recent statements of your executi...
"Tonight, however, I wish not to speak with Hanoi and the National Liberation Front, but rather to my fellowed Americans, there is at the outset a very obvious and almost facile connection between the war in Vietnam and the struggle I, and others, have been waging in America. A few years ago there was a shining mome...
"If America's soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read: Vietnam. It can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over. So it is that those of us who are yet determined that America will be are led down the path of protest and dissent, working for the health of our ...
"For nine years following 1945 we denied the people of Vietnam the right of independence. For nine years we vigorously supported the French in their abortive effort to recolonize Vietnam. Before the end of the war we were meeting eighty percent of the French war costs. Even before the French were defeated at Dien Bi...
"What do they think of our condoning the violence which led to their own taking up of arms? How can they believe in our integrity when now we speak of 'aggression from the North' as if there were nothing more essential to the war? How can they trust us when now we charge them with violence after the murderous reign ...
"Perhaps only his sense of humor and of irony can save him when he hears the most powerful nation of the world speaking of aggression as it drops thousands of bombs on a poor, weak nation more than eight thousand miles away from its shores. At this point I should make it clear that while I have tried in these last f...
"A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, 'This way of settling differences is not just.' This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of se...
"The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate. And history is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path of hate. As Arnold Toynbee says: 'Love is the ultimate force that makes for the saving choice of life and good against the damning ch...
"My good friend and great Republican, Dick Nixon, and your charming wife, Pat; my running mate, that wonderful Republican who has served us so well for so long, Bill Miller and his wife, Stephanie; to Thurston Morton who's done such a commendable job in chairmaning this Convention; to Mr. Herbert Hoover, who I hope ...
"They have been given spectacles, and, yes, they've even been given scandals. Tonight, there is violence in our streets, corruption in our highest offices, aimlessness amongst our youth, anxiety among our elders, and there's a virtual despair among the many who look beyond material success for the inner meaning of t...
"It was Republican leadership under Dwight Eisenhower that kept the peace, and passed along to this administration the mightiest arsenal for defense the world has ever known. And I needn't remind you that it was the strength and the [un]believable will of the Eisenhower years that kept the peace by using our strengt...
"I can see a day when all the Americas, North and South, will be linked in a mighty system, a system in which the errors and misunderstandings of the past will be submerged one by one in a rising tide of prosperity and interdependence. We know that the misunderstandings of centuries are not to be wiped away in a day...
"Thus, do we seek inventiveness, diversity, and creative difference within a stable order, for we Republicans define government's role where needed at many, many levels -- preferably, though, the one closest to the people involved. Our towns and our cities, then our counties, then our states, then our regional compa...
"Thank you very much. It's a privilege and an honor to be in the white intellectual ghetto of the West. We wanted to do a couple of things before we started. The first is that, based on the fact that SNCC, through the articulation of its program by its chairman, has been able to win elections in Georgia, Alabama, Ma...
"Now we maintain that in the past six years or so, this country has been feeding us a 'thalidomide drug of integration,' and that some negroes have been walking down a dream street talking about sitting next to white people; and that that does not begin to solve the problem; that when we went to Mississippi we did n...
"We couldn't go bare-breasted any more because they got excited. Now when the missionaries came to civilize us because we were uncivilized, educate us because we were uneducated, and give us some, some literate studies because we were illiterate, they charged a price. The missionaries came with the Bible, and we had...
"Integration is a man's ability to want to move in there by himself. If someone wants to live in a white neighborhood and he is black, that is his choice. It should be his rights. It is not because white people will not allow him. So vice versa: If a black man wants to live in the slums, that should be his right. Bl...
"The question is, can the white society or the white activist disassociate himself with two clowns who waste time parrying with each other rather than talking about the problems that are facing people in this state? Can you dissociate yourself with those clowns and start to build new institutions that will eliminate...
"There is a higher law than the law of a fool named Rusk. And there's a higher law than the law of a buffoon named Johnson. It's the law of each of us. It's the law of each of us. It is the law of each of us saying that we will not allow them to make us hired killers. We will stand pat. We will not kill anybody that...
"This country told us that if we worked hard we would succeed, and if that were true we would own this country lock, stock, and barrel, lock, stock, and barrel, lock, stock, and barrel. It is we who have picked the cotton for nothing. It is we who are the maids in the kitchens of liberal white people. It is we who a...
"And the question is, How do we raise those questions? How do we ....How do we begin to raise them? We have grown up and we are the generation that has found this country to be a world power, that has found this country to be the wealthiest country in the world. We must question how she got her wealth? That's what w...
"'Cause that's all we do. What underdeveloped countries needs -- information on how to become industrialized, so they can keep their raw materials where they have it, produce them and sell it to this country for the price it's supposed to pay; not that we produce it and sell it back to them for a profit and keep sen...
"So that the question stands as to what we are willing to do, how we are willing to say 'No' to withdraw from that system and begin within our community to start to function and to build new institutions that will speak to our needs. In Lowndes County, we developed something called the Lowndes County Freedom Organiz...
"Now the question is, How is the white community going to begin to allow for that organizing, because once they start to do that, they will also allow for the organizing that they want to do inside their community. It doesn't make a difference, 'cause we're going to organize our way anyway. We're going to do it. The...

"And I also want to invite you to be part of this campaign. Those of you who have been part of a campaign before know it is a lot of fun.

A 200-year-old bottle of Château d'Yquem has been sold in London for £75,000, setting a new world record for the most expensive bottle of white wine ever sold.
The bottle of 1811 Château d'Yquem was sold to French private collector Christian Vanneque at the Ritz in London amid tight security.
Mr Vanneque will have to wait till 2017 to taste his expensive purchase, when he plans to drink it to celebrate what will be his 50-year career as a sommelier in Paris, according to The Telegraph.
He plans to open it at the Michelin-starred La Tour d'Argent restaurant in Paris, where he formerly worked as head sommelier.
"I will open it in six years to mark the 50th anniversary of when I began work in Paris and share it with my wife, brothers and friends – I already know what the menu will be," Mr Vanneque said.
The wine connoisseur said he was in awe of his expensive purchase:
"It is like getting acquainted with a lady who is 200 years old and I am quite shy. It is next to me and I just touched it earlier and it is quite humbling," he said.
"I knew I had Napoleon's height and now I have something from his reign and it is a bit humbling."
The majority of white wines are not meant to age, which is what makes Mr Vanneque's purchase so unique. Most of them expire in the bottle after just a few years. The bottle of Chateau dYquem is an exception however because it's a sweet wine. The high levels of sugar, combined with the grape's natural acidity have served as a preservative. There are only a few wines in the world with these qualities. Experts say the flavour is developed each year it ages.
The record for the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold at auction was set last year with the £192,000 sale of a 1947 French Cheval-Blanc, a red wine sold by Christie's in Geneva.
Mr Vanneque plans to display the 1811 Chateau d'Yquem in his restaurant in Bali, Indonesia, when it launches in September 2011.View Comments

A franchise is designed to make it easy for you to start and run your own business. It enables you to use the expertise, reputation, knowledge, support and management information of a tried and tested business model so that you can establish your business quickly and not have to spend time and effort developing systems that work.
In return for this competitive advantage, you pay fees to the franchise brand owner.
The UK franchise industry is worth more than £11.8 billion with over 465,000 people working in franchised businesses. There are many companies that offer franchise opportunities - from specialist retailers (eg: Specsavers), through to childcare (eg: Tumbletots) and restaurants (eg: McDonalds) and even train companies (Virgin Trains).
One in every five people who operate a franchise go on to open another unit - the formulaic approach to running a franchise is ideal for doing this as management information and operating procedures make it easy to keep control.
Banks and other lenders look on franchises favourably as the business is designed around a tried and tested formula so the risk is reduced. Some banks even have specialist franchise lending teams.

Case Study: Security Public Storage
Security Public Storage Drives Lead Generation ROI With SugarCRM And Twilio
Business Issue:
Paper and pen were alive and well at Security Public Storage (SPS). It was using an antiquated system where key information was frequently buried in paper and passed by hand from person to person. SPS was losing sales by not following up with leads and realized it needed only a one percent increase in sales to justify the cost of a CRM solution.

- Robust out-of-the-box functionality
- Easy to integrate
Sugar Professional
SPS looked first at Salesforce but soon turned to other CRM vendors, including Sugar. SPS ultimately chose Sugar after Sugar Gold Partner Epicom demonstrated an impressive grasp of the company's business. Epicom created a custom call script for SPS and integrated Sugar with SiteLink, a leading self-storage management software, and Twilio, a cloud-based provider of VoIP, text messaging, and phone services.
Business Benefits:
- Provides cost and time savings
- Improves prospecting and customer service
- Increases inbound call capture
- Reduced time spent compiling lead information by 60 hours per month
- Increased ROI from online advertising budget by 600 percent

At well-known regional UK charity Children's Hospice South West (CHSW), palliative, respite, end of life and bereavement care is delivered through friendship and support, as well as practical help, to life limited children and their families. However, with the time and expense of travel impacting the amount of care the quickly growing organization could deliver, CHSW turned to HD video communications systems from LifeSize Communications to enable remote collaboration between caregivers. "We chose LifeSize because of its quality, ease of use, cost and bandwidth utilization but, as a people-oriented organization, what really told us we'd made the right decision was how quickly our staff caught on to this technology," said Steve Benson, IT Coordinator for CHSW. "Video conferencing is not a total replacement for face to face meetings, but the picture and voice quality is so natural that this technology is an excellent solution for organizations with dispersed locations. And the benefits are clear – we expect a 60 percent reduction in travel in the first year of utilization and we should recoup our implementation costs in less than 18 months." With 160 staff members and two hospices being able to provide care for up to 400 children diagnosed with life threatening illnesses in the South West England region, CHSW has accelerated plans for a much-needed third hospice facility, which plans to open its doors in 2011. To keep the project on track, senior managers were spending more time and effort traveling between locations. An analysis of one senior manager's travel over a three month period revealed that 17 hours per week were spent in the car, driving to and from locations. As an organization, annual travel costs were estimated to be in excess of £50,000and up to 60 percent of most working days were wasted on travel for members of senior staff. To help reduce travel expenses while fostering immersive, face-to-face communication, CHSW deployed LifeSize® Express™ and LifeSize® Team MP™ systems at each facility. Since integrating the LifeSize systems, the organization has utilized video to conduct weekly, monthly and ad hoc departmental meetings for teams like fundraising, community groups, care policies and clinical care governance. This has produced not only a lasting benefit in the reduction of travel expenses, but has also enabled many Care Team members to devote a larger portion of their day to caring for the families. The LifeSize HD video experience has proven so engaging that, in the future, CHSW plans to bring the LifeSize systems into the common areas so family members and children will have the opportunity to share experiences, build relationships and play games with one another over HD video. "Children's Hospice South West is the only organization to provide hospice care for life limited children in the South West England region, making its mission even more critical and increasing the need to make the most out of every donation," said Colin Buechler, senior vice president of Marketing at LifeSize Communications. "The ability of LifeSize HD video to enable smarter, more cost-effective communications is substantial, but the intangible effects that come when video brings people closer together are truly immeasurable." About LifeSize LifeSize is a pioneer and world leader in high-definition video collaboration. Designed to make video conferencing truly universal, our full range of open standards-based systems offer enterprise-class, IT-friendly technologies that enable genuine human interaction over any distance. Founded in 2003 and acquired by Logitech in 2009, LifeSize, with its commitment to relentless innovation, continues to extend the highest-quality video conferencing capabilities to anyone, anywhere.

Summary of Sunshine Summary of Sunshine Reviews for Sunshine An Excerpt from Sunshine
There hadn't been any trouble out at the lake in years. Sunshine just needed a spot where she could be alone with her thoughts for a minute. But then the vampires found her . . . Now, chained and imprisoned in a once-beautiful decaying mansion, alone but for the vampire, Constantine, shackled next to her, Sunshine realizes that she must call on her own hidden strength if she is to survive. But Constantine is not what she expected of a vampire, and soon Sunshine discovers that it is he who needs her, more than either of them know."A gripping, funny, page-turning, pretty much perfect work of magical literature." - Neil Gaiman
Originally published as an adult novel, but now in YA for the first time, Sunshine is an alluring and captivating vampire story - one that will ensnare fans of paranormals everywhere.
"Smart, dark, and riveting. Sunshine is quite possibly the best vampire book published in my lifetime." -Melissa Marr, bestselling author of Wicked Lovely

At Harvard Law School, "international" is not just something we teach. It is something we are.
The HLS community includes students from more than 85 countries. In 2012-13, hundreds of students worked, studied, and conducted research in 55 countries. More than half of the Harvard Law faculty incorporate international and comparative perspectives in their teaching, scholarship, and public service in a significant way. This year, they offered more than 90 HLS courses and reading groups focusing on international, foreign or comparative law. The scores of visitors and scholars from abroad, and over 4,500 alumni who live outside the United States, help make HLS truly international. Our research centers host hundreds of talks, workshops, and conferences with an international focus. And all of this activity draws on the world's foremost academic law library.
At HLS an international perspective is foundational, rather than peripheral, to legal inquiry. And this forms the basis for scholarship and action that have tangible impact in the world. These pages detail how integral international, foreign and comparative legal studies — or ILS — have become to HLS and what a difference they make.
Just as Harvard originated much that is now commonplace in American approaches to international legal education — including specialized courses in international law, a student-edited international law journal, and an international law library — Harvard Law School today is reshaping international legal studies for the 21st century.

I'd asked this a long time ago and never was able to come up with any answer either way.
But I'm wondering if when using an already pwned iphone and updating to newer firmwares. Will we be able to use the "update" route in itunes or must we use "restore"? Either for the 2.0 software or for subsequent point releases.
I know that 2.0 is only just out, but people have been playing with beta's for a while now. Or anyone from Dev that can shed some light on this?
I only ask because of having to reload everything every time. Whether there would be an issue with compatibility of older apps and changes to the iphone software. Or being able to retain settings etc.
I suppose this would be partly solved by pre-packaging apps into the ipsw. but if there's an update. any changes in the apps would be wiped out.
As an aside question. Do either/both "restore" or "update" through itunes completely wipe the phones memory as it pertains to installed apps through Installer?
Just curious about the update path for Pwnage 1.1.4 users and options available.
