George Zimmerman's lawyers leave him, the case
In a bombshell announcement, the lawyers for George Zimmerman dropped their client—the Florida man who claims he shot and killed 17 year old Trayvon Martin in self-defense.
Zimmerman, without consulting his attorneys, recently set up a website seeking donations for legal bills and reportedly talked with the special prosecutor handling the case.
"To handle it this way is to suggest that he may not be in complete control of what's going on," said Hal Uhrig, Zimmerman's former attorney.
Martin's death and a lack of charges filed against Zimmerman have sparked outrage. Tuesday night, the D.C. Armory hosted a forum on the lessons learned from this case.
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton says she'll introduce a bill to help state's reduce racial profiling—some argue a motive in Trayvon's killing.
"What this is, is the branding of African American men with criminality," Holmes Norton said.
For one panel member, the Trayvon Martin case painfully familiar.
Charles Rawlings 14-year-old son Deonte was shot and killed in 2007 by an off-duty officer who claims Deonte stole his mini-bike and shot at him. Those claims were never proven against the teen, yet, the officer was cleared.
The ache of injustice and the pain of losing a child continue to haunt this father, who says Trayvon Martin's family is now in his prayers.
"I didn't want to come here today. You know why? Because it's so painful that he's not there no more. To hold him, to squeeze him, to see that big smile on his face and nobody locked up—and they still still walking around. It wasn't no justice," Rawlings said.

Addressing Norwegian Civil Society Ethiopia—An Abusive Home for its People?
When I first came to Norway in 2004, it was for the Anuak; but today, I am here for all the people of Ethiopia. The problem of human rights violations, resource-grabbing and the elimination of democratic rights in Ethiopia is not the experience of a few, but is endemic. Justice will never come to only one group until it comes to Ethiopia as a whole. For that reason, the social justice organization of which I am the executive director, the Solidarity Movement for a New Ethiopia (SMNE), has a mission to protect the rights, wellbeing and freedom of all Ethiopians. . read...

"Civil Society Cannot Exist in Ethiopia!" SMNE Calls for Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) Board to Reject Ethiopia's Re-application for Membership
Ethiopia is once again applying for membership in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), "a coalition of global countries, companies, investors and civil society working together to improve openness and accountable management of revenues from natural resources."
In 2010, Ethiopia's application was denied based on Ethiopia's enactment of the Charities and Society Proclamation (CSO), a law that aggressively targets civil society. According to the principles of EITI, an active, independent and robust civil society is essential for the protection of society from the excesses and harmful practices sometimes associated with unethical extractions of oil, gas and minerals; therefore, the lack of such was enough to reject Ethiopia.
If one asks the people of Ethiopia about the state of civil society in Ethiopia four years later, most would ask, "What civil society? None can exist in this repressive environment!" If one asks Ethiopians whether their civil and human rights have improved in the last few years, most would say they have declined, not improved. read...
January 26, 2014 US House Appropriation Bill Requires Increased Accountability from Ethiopia as Prerequisite for Funding

For years Ethiopians, social justice groups, human rights organizations and civic groups have been calling on donor countries to demand greater accountability from the Government of Ethiopia for funds received, citing the lack of political space, endemic injustice, the repression of basic freedoms and widespread human rights crimes; however, now, the people of Ethiopia have reason to expect that the climate of impunity is changing. read...

November 22, 2013 SMNE urges Minister Tedros Adhanom to take swift and comprehensive action in addressing the shameful treatment and humiliation of Ethiopian migrant workers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Dear Minister Tedros Adhanom: I am writing this letter to you as your Ethiopian brother who shares the same beautiful country despite the fact we hold to significantly different political views. As the executive director of the Solidarity Movement for a New Ethiopia (SMNE), a social justice organization that stands for the well being of all our diverse Ethiopians, I am not here to please you or anyone else, but instead I am here to urge you, the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Ethiopian Peoples' Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) to take swift and comprehensive action in addressing the shameful treatment and humiliation of Ethiopian migrant workers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and other countries in the Middle East. read...
November 11, 2013 SMNE Calls on the Saudi government to stop this brutal and inhumane treatment of the Ethiopian migrant workers
The SMNE is highly disturbed by reports, pictures and video footage of the violence being perpetrated against Ethiopian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia.
Graphic pictures of blood, injury and death are circulating on websites and in the social media and we in the SMNE have received countless phone calls, emails, pictures, videos and messages telling about and showing Ethiopians who have been victims of these crimes. One was a heartbreaking picture of a young Ethiopian man who was shot dead on the street, the blood from his wounded body flowing onto the pavement. Eyewitnesses to his murder report that this man was shot in the head as he tried to run away. He may have feared arrest or the brutal treatment at the hands of Saudi police. In one reported case, a handcuffed man, already contained, was still beaten by the police. In another video clip, Saudi civilians can be seen beating up other men. According to reports to the SMNE from Ethiopians in Saudi Arabia, a total of 7 Ethiopians have been killed, 218 have been injured and over 368 are missing. This brutality is outrageous. read... (pdf)
November 4, 2013 PRESS RELEASE: SMNE Calls for Strong Measures from the International Community, Donors and International Investors in Confronting Official Corruption in Ethiopia
The Government of Ethiopia is broadly soliciting for development aid, foreign-based business partnerships and financial investors; yet, the unpopular ruling party has been accused of abuse of state power, misuse of donor funds, widespread party-run business monopolies, illicit financial practices and endemic corruption. It is time to demand accountability from all involved and concerned. read...
October 19, 2013 Ethiopians Who Fall Prey to Human Traffickers on Rise as Government of Ethiopia Cracks Down on Freedom
Many of us feel especially touched by this topic after the recent tragic shipwreck off the coast of the Italian island of Lampedusa, where 500 people, mostly African migrants, were crowded onto an unsafe boat, which eventually lost power, caught on fire and sunk. Only 155 people were saved. The display of their coffins has left heart-wrenching images in our minds. Only four days prior to this, 13 other African migrants drowned off the coast of Sicily. These are only the ones we know about. Most of the victims were reported to be Eritreans and Somalis—two countries of immense suffering; however, Ethiopians were also among the dead and were also possibly underreported due to the practice of Ethiopians taking on Eritrean nationality as a short-cut to being accepted for asylum. read...
September 5, 2013 SMNE Applauds Non-Violent, Peaceful Struggle in Ethiopia as TPLF/ERPDF Tries to Intimidate and Label Opposition as Extremists
We in the Solidarity Movement for a New Ethiopia are deeply disturbed by illegal and violent actions by the TPLF/EPRDF that prevented the Semayawi Party from carrying out its peaceful rally on Sunday, September 1. Despite receiving the go ahead from authorities to stage this lawful rally nearly two months ago, with no warning, federal police stormed and ransacked Semayawi [also known as the Blue Party] headquarters on Saturday, August 31, 2013. read...
August 8, 2013 SMNE Warning to the TPLF/EPRDF to Uphold Its Constitution: Stop Unlawful Acts of TPLF/EPRDF –Sponsored Terrorism Against Ethiopian Muslims or Face Future Charges
Ethiopians of Muslim faith have taken to the streets of Ethiopia to peacefully demand religious freedom in Ethiopia. According to their demonstration organizers, the numbers of protesters will increase to new levels of participation in the coming days and weeks; while at the same time, the TPLF/EPRDF government warns of new cracks down, some of which have already taken lives, injured young and old and resulted in the arrests of thousands of political prisoners.
This is no easy issue to resolve. Freedom of religion is close to the hearts of millions of Ethiopians, not only Muslims but all people who seek to pursue their faith and conscience without restriction. This has created a deadlock where the TPLF/ERPDF's position is unsustainable without making concessions; however, based on past actions, it is highly doubtful that the TPLF/EPRDF will take the necessary steps to prevent the situation from escalating out of control, especially if the TPLF/EPRDF-sponsored violence against civilians is continued. read...
July 25, 2013 Ethiopians at the 30-Year Anniversary of the ESFNA Soccer Tournament Model the "New Ethiopia"
What I witnessed as I watched and met thousands of people at this great gathering of Ethiopians was so extraordinary that I have been pondering it ever since. I saw the face of genuine humanity among Ethiopians and was very emotionally moved by it. My hope for a better future for Ethiopia is greater than ever.
Sometimes we focus on the most discouraging issues and obstacles before us like the lack of political space, the arrest of journalists, activists, and religious leaders, the grabbing of land and resources, the displacement of the people, the human rights abuses, ethnic division, the hardship of life in the country and the ongoing exodus of our young people out of the country; however, what I observed after being around so many Ethiopians all week was "the New Ethiopia" being put into action all around me. It was so remarkable and encouraging that I had to share it. I know that Ethiopians are people who, with God's help, can be transformed, but seeing it played out before my eyes was inspiring! read...

I also testified regarding the ongoing crimes against humanity and destruction of property and infrastructure in the Gambella region of Ethiopia; however, because similar abuses were being perpetrated in other places in the country, I also spoke of the 193 peaceful protestors who were shot and killed as they peacefully protested the results of the flawed 2005 national election and the repression in Oromia. This also included testimony regarding the imprisonment of opposition leaders, including Dr. Berhana Nega, who is sitting next to me today. read... (pdf)

SMNE Calls on Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn To Lead Ethiopia towards Change by Answering the Demands of the People
Dear Prime Minister Hailemariam, On behalf of the Solidarity Movement for a New Ethiopia, I, as the SMNE's executive director, am writing to you regarding the peaceful rally that took place in Addis Ababa yesterday, June 2, 2013. We highly commend you and the TPLF/EPRDF for allowing the rally to proceed without interference. Even though freedom of assembly is allowed under the Ethiopian Constitution; since 2005, Ethiopians have been denied this right. For the first time in eight years, after some negotiation with the Semayawi (Blue) party's leadership to change the date, the TPLF/EPRDF government agreed to provide the permit that allowed the Ethiopian people the right to express their beliefs without arrests, brutality or death. read...

SMNE Urges Secretary Kerry to speak out on behalf of freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, independent judiciaries and open political space in Ethiopia. Open Letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, Dear Secretary Kerry We are pleased to know you will be one of the distinguished guests at the 50th anniversary of the African Union. This is a celebration not for Africans alone, but for the world. Sadly, the progress made over the last half-century falls substantially short of what could have been possible. The formation of the African Union (AU) followed the liberation of many African countries from the minority rule exercised during the colonization of Africa. At the AU's inception, the hope for Africa was that it become a continent where freedom of expression, freedom of belief, freedom of assembly, equality, impartial justice, and the rule of law would undergird all aspects of African life—just the same as what America's founding fathers had envisioned for the United States. However, if the founders of the AU were alive today, would they be celebrating? . Click here to read the entire letter...

African Land and Natural Resource Grabs Destroy Lives and Futures of Africans Mr. Obang Metho gives warning of the impacts on the people at the U.S. Congressional Briefing on Land Grabs in Africa When I speak today, my testimony will not be as an outsider, but as a witness. When I talk about the people being displaced from the land grabs, in many cases I am speaking about people whose names I know. They include my uncle, my cousins, my nephews, my extended family, my community and my people—the people of Gambella, the people of Ethiopia, the people of Africa and the people of the world. We the people of Africa must be able to feed ourselves, but when the powerful take the food and land we have to sustain ourselves, leaving little behind for the indigenous, it is unconscionable and should be challenged. I welcome the opportunity we have to talk about this today. I request that my statement be submitted into the record in its entirety. . read...

Land grabbing is becoming the single most combative issue in Africa. It involves large-scale land acquisitions by foreign countries and corporations for farming, biofuels, logging and minerals. Unlike land acquisitions in the United States and Europe where purchasers pay the fair market values for land, in Africa unscrupulous deals are displacing thousands of farmers and leaving local communities in abject poverty, while government officials benefit from land sales and leases. read...

Oromo Democratic Front (ODF) Declares Commitment to Work with Others towards a Democratic, Multi-national Ethiopia: Is this the Same "New Ethiopia" We in the SMNE Envision? On March 30, 2013, I had the privilege of watching history in progress while attending the first meeting of the newly formed Oromo Democratic Front (ODF) as an observer. Those involved included most of the founding leaders of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF). As they announced their new vision, direction and organization to more than 500 people attending the meeting in St. Paul, Minnesota, I was deeply struck with the vastly different message I was hearing that day—calling Oromo to work together for one Ethiopia—from what I had heard at their 2006 OLF meeting where their secessionist goals and strictly Oromo agenda dominated every aim. I can only think that this transformation has been brought about by a renewed hope among its leadership that the great people of Oromia can contribute to the creation of an Ethiopia for all its precious people. read...
March 23, 2013 Obang Metho addresses Ethiopian women on the second annual International Conference of Ethiopian Women in the Diaspora in Washington, DC Sponsored by the Center for the Rights of Ethiopian Women
The role of Ethiopian women in building a New Ethiopia is so important that I believe we will never achieve our goal without the involvement of the women of our nation, many of whom are our wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, grandmothers, colleagues and community members.
If we think of our struggle as a huge puzzle of many pieces that must be put together, Ethiopian women make up a huge section of the still missing pieces. Our Ethiopian women make up one of the largest sub-groups in the country, around 50% of our population. They share many common values, aspirations, challenges and obstacles; however, they also are representative of our rich and diverse Ethiopian culture. read...

According to the 2012 Index of Freedom, a study completed yearly by Freedom House, 88% of all Africans are not free or are only partially free. Food insecurity is more about freedom than any other factor. According to the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), one out of three persons in sub-Saharan Africa is undernourished and according to the African Human Development Report of 2012, hunger in Africa is the highest in the world; yet, it is said to possess some of the most fertile agricultural land in the world. read...
February 5, 2013 Understanding Land Investment in East Africa Seminar Hall II, India International Centre, Max Muller Marg, New Delhi A Day Light Robbery in Ethiopia: "Doing Business" With African dictators"
Africa has emerged as the premiere frontier market in the world for vast agricultural land acquisitions, often called "land grabs" due to widespread evidence that the land being acquired is not "free and clear" of inhabitants. Instead, repressive African governments, like in Ethiopia, are forcing some of the poorest people in the world from their homes and land without consultation or compensation, leaving most of them more destitute than before. Those who resist have faced arbitrary arrests, beatings, rape, torture, and death.
In Ethiopia, huge swathes of fertile, well-watered agricultural land are being leased for up to 99 years and for negligible amounts to foreign countries, foreign multinational companies and private investors. At the forefront of these mostly secretive deals are investors from India, China and Saudi Arabia. read...
December 21, 2012 SMNE Message for Christmas: Ethiopia can be transformed but the change we seek should start from within our own souls and hearts
Dear Colleagues and Friends; As many of our fellow Ethiopians of Christian faith gather with family and friends over the next days to celebrate one of the most important of Christian holidays, we in the SMNE (the Board Members, Task Force Leaders, Volunteers and Interns) want to extend our warmest greetings. Whether you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish or of another belief, this can be a time to reflect on how we might bring good will, encouragement and help to others we know or meet as well as to those—some of whom are loved ones—who are struggling back home in Ethiopia or in another foreign country throughout the world where they may have sought refuge. The real stories of these people tell us of the great effort it takes to just survive. All of the problems we Ethiopians are facing within the country or outside of it are because we lack freedom, justice, security and prosperity in our homeland. read...
October 22, 2012 Open letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel ministry of the interior Eli Yishai ... I am writing you regarding our serious concerns involving the status, detentions and living conditions of the 2,500 to 3,000 Ethiopian refugees now living in Israel.
As you know, both the government of Israel and the African refugee living within Israel have reached a complicated and difficult impasse with no simple solutions to a growing refugee problem; yet, we believe that Israel's newly instituted solution to cope with these refugees is not only short-sighted and harsh, but also ethically and morally wrong. Instead, we hold that a more humane policy could be found to address the very real challenges of both refugees who are genuinely seeking a temporary safe haven and the state of Israel which is not ready to meet the real needs of so many persons. read...

Based on the presumption that you will assume your position of responsibility to all the people of Ethiopia—something which hopefully will be proven through concrete action within a very short period of time—we are writing to you, as the new head of the country, to urge you to boldly implement meaningful change from the status quo—moving Ethiopia from a deeply entrenched system that excludes the majority of Ethiopians to one that will free all within our society to realize their God-given gifts. read...

September 20, 2012 Land, Water and Resource-Grabbing and Its Impact on Food Security in Africa Obang Metho speaks at the 1st Africa Congress on Effective Cooperation for a Green Africa in Bremerhaven, Germany
One of the greatest threats Africa has ever faced is the impact from this new phenomenon of land-grabbing. In many places, these land grabs are going on without any input from stakeholders and without any compensation for lost lands, homes, crops and livelihoods. Small farmers are ill-prepared for the sudden dispossession of their land and with it, the means to their livelihood. Lacking education or training for other jobs, some have become a source of cheap labor as they are left without alternative means for survival. These foreign investors, countries and regime cronies are often making secretive leasing agreements with authoritarian regimes that give them millions of hectares of land for next to nothing for periods of time as long as 99 years in some cases. read...

After two months of rumors and speculation about his death or incapacitation, the government of Ethiopia finally announced his death. No one expected, even two months ago, that Meles' 21-year long, iron-fisted control over the one-party government of the Tigrayan Peoples' Liberation Front (TPLF)—which controlled the coalition government of the Ethiopian Peoples' Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF)—would come to such an abrupt end. Meles' absence will challenge the entire system and we must be ready, but patient. read...

Challenging Ethnicity as a Free Ride to the Top
The sudden death of Ethiopian Orthodox Patriarch Abune Paulos, following the disappearance of Prime Minister Meles, and now the rumored illness of General Samora Younis, leaves three unexpected vacuums in the top leadership of Ethiopia.Who will replace them—a tribe or the most qualified leaders? read...

An Open Letter to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Regarding the possible death or serious incapacitation of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, who has been the darling of the west as well as the strongman behind the machinations of the TPLF/EPRDF.
Ethiopia is of strategic geo-political importance both globally and within Africa. If Ethiopia breaks into turmoil, it could be devastating beyond its borders. We do not expect the U.S. or any other nation to free Ethiopia. No other country frees another; that is the responsibility of Ethiopians who must free themselves. Neither do we expect the U.S. or other nations to operate outside of their own national interests as Ethiopians also seek to operate according to their national interests. However, we do ask free nations to not become a roadblock to the freedom and genuine democratic change sought after by Ethiopians. read...
July 18, 2012 SMNE Calls TPLF/EPRDF to Halt Plans for Massive Arrests and Crackdown on Muslim Leaders Following AU Meeting Religious leaders, political leaders, international donors, the African Union and others, including the Ethiopian public—whether Muslim or not—should condemn the recent TPLF/EPRDF attack on Muslims, who have been peacefully rallying for freedom from government interference in their internal religious affairs for over eight months. Now, word has leaked out from sources within the country, that the TPLF/ERPDF is planning massive arrests of Muslim activists and leaders, including members of the Independent Islamic Arbitration Committee, an elected group which has been leading the cry for religious independence. Allegedly, none of this will take place until African Union meetings end, later this week. read...

Ethiopia in Danger! Is There a Way Out Without Our Mutual Destruction? Word is out in the Ethiopian community that Meles Zenawi is seriously ill or may even be dying. It has caused many to speculate—or panic, depending on one's position—about the future of the TPLF/EPRDF should Meles be suddenly gone from leadership, whether the reason is poor health, death or retirement—forced or voluntary—if rumors about an internal power struggle are correct. read...

THE FRONTIER GATEWAY MUSEUM Museum Surpasses 100,000 Visitors in 2012
Travelers wishing to take a walk backward in time may want to stop at the Frontier Gateway Museum. It is located just north of Glendive on Belle Prairie Road and offers a wide variety of historical items.
Inside the museum are displays of local history with fossils dating back 200 million years, old-time stores and displays from World War II. An addition completed in 2001 has tripled the size of the display area. Four display booths were added to the new room in 2002. These are set up as an old photograph studio, a Christmas room and a western millinery shop.
Glendive was built around the Northern Pacific Railroad, and displays featuring artifacts from that time are on display in the museum. Also in the main lobby is a sketch of Camp Canby, which preceded Glendive. The camp was manned by the 22nd Infantry and was used to protect railroad workers as they built the railroad into the new territory.
The museum complex of seven buildings is located on an acre of land. Behind the main building is a real eye-catcher, an original log cabin moved log-by-log from Paxton, a community originally located outside of Richey. Also an original rural schoolhouse complete with authentic furnishings, and many other reproductions of buildings, are located at the museum.
Other recreated buildings include two country stores, a livery stable reproduction which houses original buggies and a blacksmith shop. A machinery storage building houses a variety of old farm equipment, and a restored windmill sits in the middle of the grounds.
In 2004, A kiosk commemorating the Lewis and Clark Expedition was put up by the ACT Committee of the Glendive Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture. In 2006 a display of Glendive historical photographs was put together in memory of Theresa Jones.
Always of interest are fire engines, and the museum has those as well. Local fire-department employees have constructed a replica fire hall, which houses a 1916 American LaFrance fire engine on loan from the fire department. A 1930s fire engine and an old-time ladder truck are also stored in the fire hall.
Inside the museum, visitors are in for a visual treat as they can walk down a street reminiscent of Glendives early main street. The display, called Merrill West, is based on photographs taken of Glendive in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Buildings represented on the street include Glendives first mercantile, the Douglas-Mead and Company, which opened in 1885; the first womens wear shop, the Kepp-Boertsch Co.; the first newspaper building, The Glendive Times; and the first drug store, Hope S. Davis Drug Store.
Additional displays at the museum include fossils, Montana moss agates, buckskins, many mounted animals and animal skins, authentic reproductions of medieval armor and a World War II display which features uniforms, newspaper clippings, and Japanese and American flags.
The museum also has a Northern Pacific Railroad caboose and a 1918, 155 millimeter cannon located in the park area west of the main building.
The museum is open from 9 a.m. until noon and from 1 to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, from June through August. On Sundays and holidays it is open from 1 to 5 p.m. During the months of May and September, hours are 1 to 5 p.m., Monday through Sunday. The telephone number for the museum is 377-8168.
For an appointment or for further information call the museum at 377-8168 or 365-2769.

Off-Campus Housing: There are some good apartments and houses for rent in close proximity to IUPUI. However, the cost is very high and it is not the safest area. I lived close to campus my freshman year, paid 845$ plus electricity. My roommates car got stolen right from outside of our balcony. The transportation was very available and reliable though.
Off-Campus Housing: I live off campus and is the best. I am able to have friends over when ever they want. I can cook and have my own room.
Off-Campus Housing: I am a commuter and live with my parents so off-campus is not very applicable. Except that the only reason I am living at home is because on and off-campus living is outrageously expensive.
Off-Campus Housing: I live off campus and I love it. It is more expensive than you would want but its still cheaper than on-campus. Most of the buildings are secured entrances so it is safe. The parking is a lot easier than on campus. And there is a link on the school website that can help you find off-campus housing.
Off-Campus Housing: The place I am living at right now is called Harding Street Lofts, and it's really nice. Everyone is super friendly. The only bad thing about it is that yeah, it's pretty costly, even though it's one of the cheapest off-campus housing spots around. But if you're like me and in need of money to pay for rent because the school doesn't help at all, you need all the scholarship money you can get! I guess that's the only bad thing about living here is that I was required to take out a student loan JUST for housing. And it is very expensive.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Kourtney Forrester
Over 90 percent of students live off campus. This rate will probably remain fairly constant, as long as campus housing is so expensive in comparison to off-campus housing. Finding an apartment in Indianapolis is extremely easy, fast, and affordable. Just open up a Nuvo Magazine, Indianapolis Star, or any other local periodical and find a plethora of housing options—lofts, studios, roommates, houses, apartments, duplexes. Students can find housing options on every side of town, and each student has his or her own reasons to prefer a specific side of town, whether it is because that is where their parents live or because that is where they find the cheapest housing possible. Many independent students live downtown in apartments and lofts that are conveniently located minutes away from campus.
Some of the best places for a student to live are downtown. Riley Towers, Canal on the Square, Lockerbie Court, The Block, and many others are among these places. Riley Towers is one of the best spots because they have high-rise living with fabulous views and all utilities are included in the rent. The Towers' studios start at around $600 a month. There are cheaper living options on the outskirts of downtown, where studios usually start out at $300 a month. Also, students from IUPUI live all over town, so there are rarely issues with the locals having to get used to student life in the fall.

A Letter From Gary Shteyngart's Dog
Author Gary Shteyngart's dachshund wrote to BAM to express his canine concern about his owner at the upcoming Gary Shtenygart Roast, a "Friar's Club style" roast where Mr. Shtenygart's friends will take shots at the writer to mark the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the publication of The Russian Debutante's Handbook.
"Last night, while my favorite human Gary Shteyngart was dripping gherkin juice and pickled cod balls onto his green polyester shirt, I noticed a tear trickling down his face," wrote Felix the dachsund, in remarkably similar prose to his human owner. "I peered over his slumped shoulder and saw on the interwebs that in a couple weeks, some famous people are gathering at BAM to make fun of him." Read More

Adding a washer to a garage.
Installing plumbing in the garage is sometimes done after the home had been completed. In this instance, a 1959 home with a combination of cast iron and galvanized.
The previous homeowner had run thin wall PVC from the kitchen sink through the cabinets to the garage, and added some fishnet looking tubing that direction. All of this into the kitchen sinks 1.5" drain.
Looking in the crawlspace I was able to find a 2" cast hub which allows for bumping pipe size to 2". For the water supply, new 1/2" PEX lines, insulated in the crawl space.

The old drain connecting under the sink. The shutoffs were removed and replaced with new 1/4 turns, and a hot stop added for the new dishwasher to be added later.
This is the kitchen line that was also taking the washer's water too.
The previous 1.5" pipe was pulled from the hub, and the lead pried out.
The hub is now ready for a Fernco hub insert and 2" ABS pipe.
Adding about 12 feet of 2" in the crawl space, At the far end it connects with the new 2" pipe coming out of the 4x2 combo.
The "After" picture
A new standpipe in the garage with hammer arrestors on the washer supply.
The washer got a 2" cleanout for the end of the run.
And no, I did not do any of the electrical here.
A neat job, and what follows is not meant to be critical, but rather to illustrate how codes can vary by region, if not by municipality. My plumbing background is in the Los Angeles area. I've been away a few years, but I think what I am going to say still holds. First of all, the wall between the garage and house is required to be fire rated and cannot be penetrated by plastic. That means the WM box has to be metal and the clean-out cast iron (or copper) with a brass plug. That mechanical vent, that goes - VTR only. Also the PEX is out, it would have to be copper or galvanized. Both ways will operate fine, but that installation in the burbs of LA gets turned down on multiple counts. I just find that interesting.

The Phillies played 82 games from the start of the season to the end of June, going 51-31. In those 82 games, they were eighth in the NL in runs scored. After June, the Phils played 80 games, going 51-29. They led the league in runs scored in those 80 games.
Here's a look back at what the offense did by position, breaking the season down into two halves — the 82 games through the end of June and the 80 games after the start of July.
Ruiz served as the primary catcher for the Phils in both the first and second half of the season. He was simply much better during the second half (after the end of June) than he was in the first.
April-June | 221 | 3 | 16 | 243 | 348 | 333 |
July to End | 251 | 3 | 24 | 317 | 391 | 425 |
Ruiz played a little more in the second half and showed more power, but mostly just got a lot more hits, hitting .317 in the second half after hitting .243 in the first. He actually walked a little less regularly in the second half, about 9.2% of his plate appearances compared to about 11.3% in the first half, but his on-base percentage was a whole lot better thanks to the much better batting average.
First base:
At first, Howard fared about as well after the end of June as he had in the first 82 games of the year:
April-June | 353 | 17 | 64 | 254 | 354 | 488 |
July to End | 291 | 16 | 52 | 252 | 337 | 488 |
Very similar numbers for Howard in both halves. He walked more regularly in the first half, but hit for nearly the same average with about the same power.
The Phils did see a benefit at the position in the second half of the year thanks to John Mayberry. Mayberry started just ten games at first the whole year, but nine of those starts came after the end of June. Mayberry crushed the ball in 2011 while playing first for the Phillies — in his 45 plate appearances while playing first he put up a monster 409/422/682 line.
Second base was an offensive disaster for the Phils in the early part of the season. Chase Utley returned at the end of May and hit .222 in 27 May at-bats, but followed that up with a fantastic June in which he hit 297/387/470. He was even better in July as he hit 293/369/550. From August 1 to the end of the regular season he hit a meager 227/305/343. Here's what his numbers first and second half look like:
April-June | 140 | 3 | 16 | 280 | 381 | 449 |
July to End | 314 | 8 | 28 | 250 | 328 | 414 |
Utley was simply not good after the end of June, hitting just .250 and on-basing .328. As uninspired as those numbers are, they still were a significant improvement for a team that struggled to find offense from the position while Utley was out.
Here's the numbers of games started at second base for the Phils in the first and second halves of the year:
1st Half (April-June) | 2nd half (July-end) | |
Utley | 31 (37.8%) | 69 (86.3%) |
Valdez | 31 (37.8%) | 2 (2.5%) |
Orr | 16 (19.5%) | 4 (7.5%) |
Martinez | 4 (4.9%) | 3 (3.7%) |
So Utley started about 38% of the games at second through the end of June and about 86% of the games after June. And even though he wasn't hitting particularly Utley-like, that's still important. Cause even a sluggish Utley is a whole lot better offensively than those other guys. Here's what the four guys who started games for the Phillies at second did offensively while playing that position in 2011:
Utley | 451 | 257 | 340 | 423 |
Valdez | 126 | 246 | 289 | 307 |
Orr | 82 | 213 | 280 | 240 |
Martinez | 30 | 241 | 267 | 379 |
Even an Utley way off his game was way better than the rest of those guys, most notably out on-basing the second-best on-base percentage in the group (Valdez) by more than fifty points.
After Utley returned to the Phillies on May 23, the Phils led the NL in runs scored the rest of the way. That was despite the fact that the offense wasn't good at all in June, though, as the Phils finished eleventh in the NL that month. Because the offense was so terrible in June (despite a monster 297/387/470 line for Utley for the month) it's hard for me to see his return as the turnaround point for the offense. The offense was best in the NL after that date because 1) they were fantastic in July, better than any other NL team, and very strong in August and September and 2) in the nine games from May 23 to the end of May, the Phils played nine games and scored 51 runs or 5.67 runs per game.
Third base:
Polanco, you may have noticed, was atrocious in 2011. He didn't start out that way, though. He hit nearly .400 in April, putting up a 398/447/524 line over 114 plate appearances. After that he hit 243/304/287 the rest of the way.
He played a lot less in the second half of the season, and without the huge April his numbers were a lot worse:
April-June | 340 | 4 | 39 | 288 | 339 | 363 |
July to End | 183 | 1 | 11 | 258 | 328 | 294 |
When he did play in the second half, Polanco's walk rate rose a little (8.7% of plate appearances compared to 7.6% in the first half), but his average was way off and his power nearly gone altogether. He had four extra-base hits from July 1 to the end of the year.
Here's who started at third for the Phils through the end of June and after the start of July:
1st Half (April-June) | 2nd half (July-end) | |
Polanco | 76 (92.7%) | 39 (48.8%) |
Valdez | 6 (7.3%) | 15 (18.7%) |
Martinez | 0 (0%) | 24 (30.0%) |
Orr | 0 (0%) | 2 (2.5%) |
Polanco got more than 90% of the starts in the first 82 games of the year for the Phils. After the start of July, Valdez, Martinez and Orr combined to start more often at third than he did.
Here's what the guys did offensively while playing third for the Phils this year:
Polanco | 513 | 280 | 337 | 343 |
Martinez | 104 | 231 | 304 | 352 |
Valdez | 84 | 253 | 286 | 354 |
Orr | 7 | 000 | 000 | 000 |
Unlike second base, there was not a huge improvement at the position when the Phils got their starter on the field. For the year, Valdez and Martinez both offered significantly more power from the position while getting on base a little less. Not to be forgotten is that Polanco hit 243/304/287 for the year after the end of April — both Martinez and Valdez gave the Phils more offense at third when they played than Polanco did after his strong April.
At shortstop, Jimmy Rollins was a much better offensive player in the second half of the year than he was in the first.
April-June | 352 | 7 | 31 | 254 | 327 | 368 |
July to End | 279 | 9 | 32 | 286 | 351 | 437 |
More hits and more power for Rollins in the second half of the season than the first. His walk rate was down, but just a tiny bit, and thanks to all the hits his on-base percentage was up to .351. From June 26 through August 20, Rollins hit 298/372/461 over 215 plate appearances.
He didn't play nearly as much in the second half as he did the first. Valdez made 20 starts at short on the season and 15 of them came after the start of July. Valdez had solid numbers while playing short for the Phils in 2011, though, posting a 278/338/414 line over 81 plate appearances. That's very similar to the 272/340/417 line that Rollins put up while playing short in 2011.
While playing short for the Phils in 2011, Valdez posted a 278/338/414 line over 81 plate appearances. He got 219 plate appearances as something other than a shortstop. In those plate appearances he hit 239/277/313.
Left field:
Ibanez didn't play as much in left field in the second half of the season, but when he did he was a little better:
April-June | 309 | 9 | 34 | 235 | 285 | 393 |
July to End | 266 | 11 | 50 | 256 | 293 | 448 |
He was still terrible at getting on base, but Ibanez did show a bit more power in the second half of the year.
Ibanez started in left in 72 of the first 82 (87.8%) games of the season for the Phils. After the start of July the Phils played 80 games and he started just 59 (73.7%). The other 21 second-half starts were made by Mayberry (12) and Francisco (nine).
Both of those guys were fantastic in the second half. Here's what the two did after the start of July (at all positions, not just left field):
Mayberry | 179 | 301 | 358 | 607 |
Francisco | 65 | 322 | 354 | 407 |
Mayberry was absolutely fantastic in the second half, hitting 12 home runs in 179 plate appearances while on-basing .358. That's a lot of home runs — at that pace he would hit about 37 over a season of 550 plate appearances. For the season, he actually hit 15 over 296 plate appearances, which would have him at about 25 over 550 plate appearances.
Francisco hardly played at all after the start of July, but when he did he hit .322. That's more than a hundred points higher than the .220 he hit in 228 plate appearances in the first 82 games of the season when he had a chance to cement his status as an everyday player. Just a tiny number of chances for Francisco in the second half, but I do think it's curious that he seemingly forgot all about try to walk and hit .322. In the first 82 games of the season he walked in 12.7% of his plate appearances and in the last 80 he got just 65 plate appearances but walked in only 6.2% of them.
As bad as Francisco was with the Phils in 2011, he on-based .340 for the season, which was a career high. I think there's a good chance that the Phils are going to regret having given him away.
Center Field:
Victorino played about as much in center the first and second halves of the season with about the same results.
April-June | 288 | 9 | 31 | 289 | 359 | 504 |
July to End | 298 | 8 | 30 | 270 | 351 | 479 |
More hits in the first half, more walks in the second with about the same power all season long. Victorino started 63 of the 82 first half games (76.8%) and 63 of the 80 second-half games (78.5%). He really only had one month of the season where he wasn't an outstanding offensive player in 2011 and that was September. After going 2-for-4 with a walk against the Fish on September 2, Victorino was hitting a silly 308/384/542 for the season. He would hit 163/237/288 in 115 plate appearances the rest of the way. Curiously the Phils kept playing him and playing him down the stretch, even after they clinched and he continued to slump. Victorino got 125 plate appearances in September, which led the team and was also the most he had in any month in 2011.
There were 34 games for the Phils in 2011 when Victorino didn't start at center. Mayberry started 26 of them and Martinez eight. Martinez was predictably terrible, going 5-for-39 with five singles and no walks (128/128/128).
Overall for the year, Mayberry didn't get on base a whole lot in his 115 plate appearances as a center fielder, but he did show a ton of power. He posted a 236/296/472 line in center for the season.
In his 13 starts in center field in the first half of the year, Mayberry was wretched. In those 13 games he hit 191/255/277. In the second half he started 13 games as well, but with much different results, posting a 291/328/673. In 13 second-half starts in center, Mayberry went 16-for-55 with 12 of the 16 hits going for extra-bases — seven doubles, a triple and four home runs. Four home over 13 starts is impressive, but so is seven doubles. At that pace, over 162 starts you would tally about 50 home runs and 87 doubles.
Right field:
Hunter Pence was traded from the Astros in late July and played his first game with the Phils on July 30. He was great in August (340/413/600) and almost as great in September (317/385/550).
For the 2011 season, Pence hit 325/396/563 in 235 plate appearances as the right field fielder for the Phillies.
This is what the guys for the Phils other than Pence who played right field for the Phils did in 2011 while playing right field:
Francisco | 208 | 232 | 335 | 367 |
Brown | 205 | 240 | 332 | 391 |
Mayberry | 26 | 318 | 423 | 727 |
Gload | 10 | 300 | 300 | 300 |
Bowker | 2 | 000 | 000 | 000 |
Moss | 2 | 000 | 000 | 000 |
Mayberry had some nifty numbers in 26 plate appearances and Gload went 3-for-10, but those guys were bad overall. Most notably, Brown and Francisco combined to get 413 plate appearances in which they hit a meager 236/333/379 combined.
To summarize:
- In right, Pence arrived at the end of July and was not just good but great, hitting 324/394/560 over 236 plate appearances with the Phils.
- At second, the first half production was miserable. Utley returned on May 23 and gave the Phils an enormous boost, replacing at-bats by Valdez, Orr and Martinez with Utley at-bats. He didn't have a Chase Utley-like performance after the start of July, hitting just 250/328/414 from the start July to the end of the season, but it was still enough to give the Phils a huge boost at the position.
- At catcher, Ruiz was a better hitter after the start of July. Getting about the same playing time in both halves, Ruiz hit 243/348/333 before the start of July and 317/391/425 from the start of July to the end of the regular season.
- At short, Rollins, like Ruiz, was just better at offensively during the second half, hitting 286/351/437 after the start of July having ended June with a 254/327/368 line.
- In left, Ibanez was bad both halves, but did get better in the second half and showed more power. He also played less in the second half as Francisco and Mayberry combined to make 21 starts in left. Francisco was good in limited time in the second half and Mayberry was great, hitting 301/358/607.
- In center, Victorino had similar numbers both halves with a little drop off after July. Mayberry started the same number of games in center in the first and second halves (13), but had much better numbers in his 13 starts in center after July than before it. In 13 starts in center before the end of June he hit 191/255/277. In his 13 starts in center after the start of July he hit 291/328/673.
- At first base, Ryan Howard had similar numbers in both halves. The Phils got a small bump at the position from Mayberry at the second half when Mayberry started nine of the ten games he started at first for the season. For the year, Mayberry hit a silly 409/422/682 as a 1B.
- At third, Polanco, awful with the bat in 2011, did see less time at third during the second half of the year, but his fantastic April plus the fact that the guys who replaced him at third when he didn't play in the second half didn't do much of anything to help the Phillies.
Again, the Phils got a huge boost from Mayberry in the last 80 games, helping out in left, center and at first base.
A big question about the second-half surge seems to be whether Utley's return or Pence's arrival was a bigger factor. My thinking is that Pence was a bigger factor from July to the end of the year, but Utley's return was likely a bigger factor for the year. More on that soon.
The comments close two weeks after a post is published, which is why we could not continue the discussion from the previous about whether or not David Wright is coming to the Phils. He's not. Or at least a lot of people are going to be real surprised if he is.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Herb Kohl
United States Senator
Nomination of Alberto Gonzales to be Attorney General of the United States
We begin with a standard of granting deference to the President to surround himself with the people he chooses for his Cabinet. Yet, that deference is not absolute. After all, the Attorney General is not the President's lawyer, but the people's lawyer. As we listened to this nominee's answers at the hearing, read his responses to our additional questions and examined the facts, we found that our deference was challenged. Indeed, we are being asked to confirm the Administration's chief architect of its legal policies in the war on terror -- policies with questionable legal support that have proven harmful to the conduct of the war and injured our reputation abroad. We must expect more from our Attorney General. The war on terrorism has proven more clearly now than ever before that the Justice Department's mission is too central to our democracy to be entrusted to someone who leaves us with such doubt. As the President's chief legal officer in the White House, Judge Gonzales' advice sadly fell short time and again. For these reasons, I must vote no. A closer examination of the Administration's legal policies demonstrates why we have reached this conclusion. Over the strong objections of Secretary of State Powell, career military lawyers, and others with great expertise, Judge Gonzales advised the President to deny prisoners the protections of the Geneva Conventions. Others warned Judge Gonzales that this advice could undermine military culture, generate confusion about how to treat detainees, and ultimately lead to abuse. We now know that their worst fears were warranted. His role in shaping the policy on torture was similarly regrettable. The 'torture memo' that was drafted at Judge Gonzales' request stood as Administration policy for two years. The Defense Department used the memo's disturbing conclusions to justify abusive interrogation techniques. These policies have consequences. To defeat terrorism, the 9/11 Commission concluded that, we must win the war of ideas in the Muslim world. The importance of this recommendation cannot be emphasized enough. Undermining our fundamental commitment to due process, failing to honor our international agreements, and flouting our laws prohibiting torture and war crimes harms that effort. Judge Gonzales' performance at the hearings did little to alleviate our concerns. We heard him condemn torture, generally, but refuse to discuss what he thought constituted torture. We heard him commit to honor our international agreements, but waffle when asked when they apply. We heard him denounce the abuses that were committed in Iraq, but refuse to discuss whether they might be illegal. We heard him commit to hold anyone involved responsible for their actions, but repeat predetermined conclusions about what happened and who was to blame. When asked by members of this Committee about his views on these policies and his role in shaping them, Judge Gonzales either could not remember or was non-responsive. When asked about whether he thought torture was ever productive, after more than two years of participating in discussions on the subject, he told the Committee, "I have no way of forming an opinion on that." He admits to attending meetings where specific methods of torture were discussed, but told the Committee that he can not recall anything that was said. His evasiveness was not an encouraging preview of his ability to be candid with the American people about the basis of the decisions he will be responsible for making as our Attorney General. This has not been an easy decision to reach. We hope that if Judge Gonzales is confirmed, he will prove us wrong. For now, however, our doubts are too great to support his nomination. |
