For Sale: Shrine to Suffragists; U.S. Covets House of Women's Rights Movement
By GLENN COLLINS
Published: November 14, 1999
WATERLOO, N.Y.— It is as if, improbably, the United States had the chance to buy the long-lost ship that sparked the Boston Tea Party. As if the original Philadelphia house where Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence still existed. Or as if historians were able to stand on the actual platform at the exact spot where President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address.
Here in this tiny Finger Lakes village, a ''for sale'' sign has been raised on the place where another historic tea party opened an American social revolution. The asking price? Only $139,900.
It is called the Hunt House, and on July 9, 1848, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and four other women gathered in the parlor for tea and ginger cakes. They found themselves expressing indignation about their propertyless, voteless status, then found themselves spontaneously vowing to change it. When they left that day, it was to organize what is believed to have been the first women's rights convention, in Seneca Falls, only 10 days later.
So historians, the National Park Service and Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan think it is about time that the federal government buy, restore and open to the public the house where the struggle for women's rights began in America. But not unlike America's suffragists, who had to work for 72 years to get the vote, they are finding it a frustrating and interminable task. A bill to authorize its purchase is stalled in Congress, and private bidders are moving closer to buying the 170-year-old house, a three-story structure at 401 East Main Street that is on the state and national historic registers.
''Had that tea party not taken place, there would have been no convention, and without the Seneca Falls convention, there would have been continued muttering about women's rights, but little action,'' said Judith Wellman, a professor of history at the State University of New York College at Oswego who has studied and written about the Hunt House and the Stanton House in Seneca Falls. ''It led to the empowerment of 51 percent of the population, and it resonated around the world.''
Since the creation of the 5.7-acre Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, a country mile from Waterloo, in 1980, the Park Service has coveted the Hunt House. The home -- once owned by the industrialist Richard P. Hunt, whose wife, Jane, was the hostess at the tea -- was pictured last week in ''Not for Ourselves Alone,'' a public-television documentary on the women's rights movement by Ken Burns.
But its fate highlights the cumbersome process by which the government goes about rescuing landmark properties when, suddenly, history is for sale. ''When a house like this comes on the market you should be able to grab it,'' said Senator Moynihan, a New York Democrat. Instead, he had to introduce legislation authorizing the Park Service to purchase the property; Waterloo's congressman, Representative Thomas M. Reynolds, a Republican, introduced a similar bill in the House.
As in all legislation, an act of Congress requires time, wrangling and plenty of clout. And since Congress may adjourn this week, ''we're not sure if we will be given the authority,'' said Boyd I. Sponaugle, a realty officer for the Park Service. ''We'd hope this legislation would be considered in the next session.''
But the owners of the Hunt House, Thomas H. and Joan K. Olmstead, who are retired, want to sell now because Mr. Olmstead is ill, said Mrs. Olmstead, 67. Her father bought the Hunt House in 1944. She grew up there, left the house to marry, then moved back with her husband in 1976.
''We want to sell the house to someone who appreciates it,'' she said. That said, the seven-room house, built in the Federal style in 1829, has been on the market since May, and fewer than a dozen serious offers have been made for it. Part of the reason may be that if its exterior seems appropriately historic, the interior has been given a fully carpeted, suburban look.
The Olmsteads have accepted an offer from Mary Church, a technical writer and editor for an environmental consulting firm in Rochester. Mrs. Church and her husband, Stephen, made their offer at a figure ''close to the asking price,'' said Gregory W. Peet, the Olmsteads' real estate agent in Waterloo.
''I would be honored to live in a house that has such historic value,'' said Mrs. Church, 47, who once owned a landmark 1852 Victorian in Lima and was on the board of Lima's historical society. Mrs. Church added that she and her husband would do what they could to restore the Hunt House, which is on two and a half acres.
But throngs of visitors led by park rangers could not traipse through the house. Mrs. Church wants to live in it with her husband and their eight children, ages 5 to 21. ''I would love to grow old there,'' she said.
Mrs. Church cannot complete the deal until she sells her own house in Bloomfield; the Hunt House is still being shown to prospective buyers, and Mrs. Church has to come up with the money or the Olmsteads will be free to accept competing offers.

A two-day long district-level workshop on 'Implementation of Right to Education (RTE) Act in tribal area' was organised by Sova, an NGO working on education at Koraput in association with Prem-Plan of Berhampur on Saturday. While the act seemed to be an affirmative step to ensure elementary education for every child of India, there were also some challenges in its implementation especially in tribal areas, Sanjit Patnaik, secretary, Sova said. Among others, teachers, scholars and scores of tribal youth offered their recommendations on the issue.

Pac-12 Enterprises hires former IMG sponsorship exec
Published October 3, 2011, Page 7
Gary Stevenson, the newly appointed chief executive of Pac-12 Enterprises, hired Kerepesi last week and said his experience from sponsorship sales at IMG played in his favor. While at IMG, Kerepesi also worked on WTA sponsorships, including the Sony Ericsson account when Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott ran the women's tennis business.
"Steve will be responsible for all corporate relationships," Stevenson said. "We're going to be able to offer some integrated opportunities across all of our platforms, from live events to digital, national TV and regional TV."
Most of the Pac-12's sponsorship inventory will revolve around its championship events.
Stevenson is in the process of searching for a chief revenue officer and for executives who will specialize in advertising on the TV networks and digital, as well as affiliate sales and marketing for the TV networks.
Kerepesi is expected to start next week. He is relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area, close to the Pac-12's headquarters in Walnut Creek, Calif.


text: Update your crisis plan. Now! By Paul Gillin. Published on July 16, 2012. 0 Reprints Reprints Ad Age Reports Resource Guide B-to-B Marketing Fact Pack From spending trends to the biggest marketers and agencies, this handy guide gives you the lay of the b-to-b land. Learn more If you haven't visited Change.org yet, you should do so. Now. This online petition site is causing problems for some major brands, and it's only just building up a head of steam. Anyone can post a petition about anything on Change.org; and, while some causes may appear trivial, many address big issues like human rights, environmental responsibility and corporate ethics. Banks, airlines and retailers are favorite targets. Change.org maintains an impressive list of victories on its home page, including b-to-b successes. For example, Scholastic Inc.'s decision last year to scale back corporate sponsorships of classroom materials was in large part driven by a Change.org petition. The site provides detailed instructions on how to promote campaigns through social media. The largest petitions have gathered more than a half-million signatures. Nearly all have companion Facebook pages and Twitter accounts. Change.org is part of a growing number of customer advocacy sites, product-rating engines and Facebook pages that are driving the growing trend toward angry customers taking their complaints public. They're making crisis communications a top marketing priority. Two-thirds of global chief communications officers surveyed earlier this year by Weber Shandwick and Spencer Stuart said crisis management is a necessary prerequisite for success. That's double the percentage of five years ago. More than 70% of the 142 respondents to the most recent survey said their companies had experienced a reputation threat in the past two years. The growth in attacks driven by hash tags and Facebook pages has outstripped the ability of most companies to keep pace. In an analysis of 50 social media-driven crises published last summer, Altimeter Group concluded that three-quarters of the events could have been prevented or diminished with better response plans, yet more than half of the companies that suffered a crisis had no such process in place. You may have a crisis plan from a decade ago gathering dust on a shelf. Throw it away. In today's caffeinated online world, a single customer's gripe can become a full-blown reputational disaster in just a few hours. If you do nothing else, set up some basic listening posts using free tools that monitor the Web and the tweet stream. Better yet, stake out your own presence in the social channels you'll need when a crisis erupts. Build relationships with bloggers and video podcasters who influence your customers. You'll need their receptive ears when you're under attack. Don't wait. The worst time to start planning for a crisis is when your hair is on fire.

DETROIT – The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan sent a letter to the Detroit Police Department and filed a complaint with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) today demanding an end to the Detroit police's illegal and abusive tactics toward homeless individuals in the city. A yearlong ACLU investigation uncovered the disturbing practice of officers approaching individuals who appear to be homeless in the Greektown area, forcing them into police vans, and deserting them miles away.
"DPD's practice of essentially kidnapping homeless people and abandoning them miles away from the neighborhoods they know – with no means for a safe return -- is inhumane, callous and illegal," said Sarah Mehta, ACLU of Michigan staff attorney. "The city's desire to hide painful reminders of our economic struggles cannot justify discriminating against the poor, banishing them from their city, and endangering their lives. A person who has lost his home has not lost his right to be treated with dignity."
Since January 2012, the ACLU has received numerous complaints from homeless individuals about the practice, which Detroit police officers have called "taking homeless people for a ride."
Over the years, officers have frequently approached homeless individuals in Greektown – a section of Detroit that is popular with tourists because if its restaurants, bars and casino – and told them that they were not allowed to be there; forced them into police vans, sometimes in handcuffs; and drove them to remote areas of Detroit or neighboring cities before abandoning them.
In some cases, after taking homeless people "for a ride," the officers ordered them to throw out any money in their pockets. As a result, the men had no option but to walk—often several miles and sometimes in the middle of the night through unlit and potentially dangerous neighborhoods—back to downtown Detroit where many of their shelters, warming centers, and churches are located.
To watch video of some of the men telling their stories, go to:http://www.aclumich.org/
The ACLU's letter to Detroit documents the experiences of five individuals who were doing nothing illegal, yet were subjected to this abusive and unlawful treatment on multiple occasions.
According to the ACLU's letter and complaint to the DOJ, the Detroit Police Department's tactics violate the constitutional rights of homeless people, including the right to due process and the right to be free of unreasonable search and seizures. Moreover, in arresting, detaining and forcibly removing homeless individuals without probable cause, Detroit Police officers are violating the 2003 consent judgment with the DOJ.
In its letter to the DPD, the ACLU writes: "Not only are police endangering the lives and violating the constitutional rights of homeless individuals, but in so doing, police are compromising the city of Detroit's security by using their time and resources to harm rather than protect the city's inhabitants."
The ACLU asks the DOJ to investigate the practice as part of its mandate within the existing consent decree and to ensure that the rights of these vulnerable community members are protected. In addition, the ACLU asks the City of Detroit to end the practice immediately and issue a policy directive to Detroit police officers explaining that it is illegal to banish homeless individuals from Greektown or any other neighborhood of Detroit.

UPDATE: OCAP Wins Fight for 24 Hour Women and Trans* Drop-In Spaces! All Charges Against November 25 Arrestees Withdrawn!Submitted by ocap on Mon, 03/16/2015 - 20:28.
Dear friends and allies,
Today we are happy to announce two important updates on the fight for 24 hour women and trans* drop-ins in Toronto:
1) Most importantly, we have WON 24 hour drop-ins in Toronto! Funds for the women & trans* drop-ins were passed during this year's budget process. The 2015 Operating Budget for shelter, housing and support, as approved by City Council last week, includes new funding of $2,250,000 in 2015 for new 24 hour drop-in services for women and trans* people, increasing to $3,000,000 in 2016 and beyond. Spaces are confirmed and it is only a matter of weeks before we will see the drop-ins opened (more info on specific opening dates and locations to be sent out soon). We are proud of the work we have done and what we accomplished together with our allies during this collective struggle. We have drawn attention to the violence that street involved women face and the need for increased services for people who are homeless in Toronto. This is an important victory - services like these save lives.
2) This morning all charges were withdrawn against all 5 OCAP women who took part in the action on November 25th. In return the women agreed to provide 30 hours of community service.

Save the Hope Shelter! Toronto Can't Lose 124 Shelter Beds!Submitted by ocap on Thu, 03/05/2015 - 23:12.
News that the Salvation Army Hope Shelter, at McCaul and College, is set to close on April 15 constitutes a devastating blow. The shelter system is horribly overcrowded and all assurances that the City's policy of keeping occupancy levels at no more than 90% will finally be adhered to have proven to be false. This particular shelter, located in the underserviced west end, is consistently operating at maximum capacity. Four homeless men died in January and the removal of 124 beds from the system simply can't be allowed to happen.

Join the Raise the Rates Campaign TODAY!Submitted by ocap on Fri, 02/08/2013 - 15:27.
OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union) Joins on to the Raise the Rates Campaign!
The Raise the Rates Campaign represents a broad and growing consensus amongst community groups, unions and anti-poverty activists about social assistance in this province. Together we reject attempts to divide poor people on assistance between those on Ontario Works and those on Ontario Disability Support Program. We are united in this fight and building alliances with all those living in poverty, people working low-wage precarious jobs, and unionized workers.
Support The Struggle And Become An OCAP SustainerSubmitted by ocap on Tue, 09/29/2009 - 17:14.
As little as $10 a month can help us maintain our work across this city and it just got easier to give.
For close to 20 years the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty has been at the forefront of community based resistance to regressive social policy from all levels of government. We have helped inspire numerous groups across this country and continent, been studied in universities and college programs and most importantly we have time after time organized poor communities to stand up and take what's theirs. To fight for their dignity and for justice.
Today we are engaged day to day in the fight against City Hall, Queen's Park and Parliament Hill. Making sure that repairs are done in community housing, fighting for each and every entitlement on welfare and disability and working to win fundamental changes that will mean better housing, more to eat and better social programs.
All of this continues to be carried out on a shoestring budget. Year after year we scrape by on the generosity of our members and supporters, primarily by those who answer our emergency appeals for cash when we are on the brink of laying off staff or closing our office. Our monthly expenses are by no means outrageous. We pay our staff what we can, cover basic bills and operate a small office. Every month we are thousands of dollars short of covering our expenses.
Our goal is to change all of that by the end of this year. We are looking for all supporters of our work to pitch in and help support the struggle by becoming a part of our monthly sustainers program. Please only donate what you can. Five dollars helps. Ten dollars helps. And if you can afford to give more please do.
To become a monthly sustainer, send a void cheque with amount and which date of the month you'd prefer it to be processed to:

As supporters of Hoping, a charity working to strengthen the lives of Palestinian refugee children, we are horrified by the cruel and massive loss of life of the citizens of Gaza, and by the failure of our politicians to put adequate pressure in order to achieve an immediate end to the carnage.
Hoping's work with UNRWA in Gaza and elsewhere is centred upon building hope for the young generation of Palestinians that they might have a life with peace, justice, and dignity. We are shocked by the bombing of three UNRWA schools in Gaza where families have taken refuge, killing so many of them, and by the deaths of dozens of children this past week.
We demand immediate action from our political leaders, and the leaders of Europe, who under the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law have a responsibility to stop the continuing assault, and who have not done enough to ensure a ceasefire.
We call for an immediate end to the Israeli attack on the citizens and civic institutions of Gaza; for an opening to all crossings points into Gaza; and for an end to the siege and blockade of Gaza.
We insist upon hope for the children of Gaza, and the children of Palestine wherever they live in refugee camps across the Middle East, so that they can live in freedom from injustice, war, and military occupation.

Cold weather on a warming planet
Those few hardened climate-change sceptics who still generate an artificial "debate" should not get too excited over our cold winter temperature. According to some models this is exactly in line with prediction.
As the ice cap's temperature has soared some 6 to 9 degrees, the effect is felt throughout the northern hemisphere as unusual weather. Currently the Jet Stream has been diverted south, making the UK far more susceptible to either Newfoundland, Arctic or Continental air mass. All three directions are much colder in winter than the once-prevailing south-westerly, which usually raises our temperatures some 6 to 9 degrees. The irony is palpable.
Steve Crawford
I was surprised to find the headline of your paper on 2 January – "Climate scientists: it's time for 'Plan B' " – and less than impressed by the article which followed. The geo-engineering technologies identified in the article have been criticised for various reasons as most unlikely to achieve their objectives.
There is no doubt that current attempts to reduce the emissions of "greenhouse" gases have largely failed. However, the reason for this failure is not a lack of technology but the failure of market mechanisms to bring alternative technologies to the market. This was clearly spelt out by Lord Stern in his report in 2007.
Since then politicians of all persuasions have failed abysmally to introduce adequate regulations, tax regimes and research and development investment to make available to the consumer known technologies, such as electricity and hydrogen generation from wind, tides, solar, geothermal and photovotaic sources; electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, including ships and possibly aircraft (a robotic aircraft powered by hydrogen has already been flown); and carbon capture and storage. Industry push and consumer pull will not work without government intervention in this matter.
It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the introduction of known technologies will be fully capable of achieving the desired reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. It is Plan A which should be urgently implemented. Plan B is not necessary and probably would not work.
Dr John C Bowman
Merriott, Somerset
The Independent has performed a great service in publishing comprehensive, authoritative and non-partisan articles related to climate change and geo-engineering (2 January): it is vital that informed public awareness of this issue is speedily achieved.
I would like to point out that the geo-engineering scheme that colleagues and I are working on is not "creating low clouds over the oceans", as stated in the article "Fixing the planet". Creating clouds, except in special circumstances too rare to be important in global temperature stabilisation, is impossible. Our idea is to increase the reflectivity of existing shallow oceanic clouds by seeding them with seawater particles to increase their droplet numbers: thereby producing global cooling.
Provisional results (mainly modelling) suggest the technique could hold Earth's temperature constant for around 50 years, and that current values of Arctic ice cover could be maintained over this period. However, much more work is required before definitive conclusions concerning its efficacy can be drawn.

Surly service in British hotels
I was puzzled by the headline "Bad service and grumpy Britons put tourism jobs at risk" (8 January). Having experienced several UK hotels I took a straw poll of friends and colleagues and we unanimously decided that the only grumpy Britons in UK hotels are the customers; the hotels were not staffed by Britons but by an assortment of eastern Europeans and Africans, all of whom seemed to resent working here.
My sister and her children were insulted by a Polish receptionist in Slough, as she is an unmarried mother and had dared to book a room as "Miss". I myself was refused my booked room in Paddington, as I didn't have a passport, by someone who could hardly speak English. In Bristol my colleague waited 45 minutes for an "English breakfast" of two fried eggs to brought by a South African who found waiting on customers a pain. I could go on.
Dare I think that the intention of the article was yet again to rubbish the British working classes in favour of cheap foreign workers who send their money home and contribute little to the real economy?
J Hall
Beckenham, Kent
While Britain's tourist industry can always do better, we should be using the current exchange rate to boost it, rather than denigrate it.
In the South-West, tourism has grown strongly in recent years, built on improved quality, excellent regional food and the beauty of our natural environment. The wetsuit revolution has also removed another traditional deterrent – the temperature of the sea.
The strength of the euro provides us with a great opportunity to encourage people to reacquaint themselves with their own country as well as attracting more visitors from abroad.

Archbisop's retirement home
As an ordinary practising English Roman Catholic, I wish to express my disgust and revulsion against the provision of a six-bedroom property in Chiswick for an aging single man – Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor – who would have you believe that he attempts to live his life in accordance with the precepts of a master who was born in a stable and crucified on a cross (Pandora, 8 January).
What message does this send to the homeless, the starving and the disadvantaged? Nothing other than "I'm all right, Jack."
English Catholics should be very wary of how they contribute to the support of their Church and even more demanding in seeking proper accountability for how their donations are spent.
Perhaps the retiring Cardinal should reconsider his decision. Spending his retirement in more humble surroundings will prepare him better for his eventual meeting with the master he is supposed to serve.

Rate cuts won't do the job
With a further historic rate cut announced today (8 January) by the Bank of England, I'm left wondering why the lesson of earlier cuts has not been learned. With the possible exception of the construction sector, most businesses I talk to are not complaining about the cost of credit. In the current climate, they simply do not want to borrow more. Similarly, for the average consumer, it isn't a shortage of money that's stifling the high street, it's an unwillingness to spend.
Before any further rash policy announcements get made, the priority must be to invest time in developing a strategy focused on rebuilding business and consumer confidence. Shattered confidence is the source of our current economic woes, and a concerted and strategic policy focused on carefully rebuilding it is what will turn things around.

Builder in social housing deal
Your report "The worst year ever for house prices" (7 January) had a supporting strapline: "Government forced to bail out house builder." As the house builder concerned, we would like to make it clear that the suggestion that our business is being "bailed out" by the Government is utterly untrue.
The £18m-deal publicised recently is in response to a Government-conceived and published policy. This policy enables housing associations to buy, as a commercial transaction, unsold housing stock from house builders, to meet existing social housing needs. This was a business transaction involving homes from our current housing stock and is a transaction that returns a positive profit margin for the group and its shareholders. This deal would not have taken place if the social-housing demand did not already exist.
Nor is the Government being "forced" into agreeing. The agreement has taken place under the Homes and Communities Agency's National Clearing House Programme, set up to help deliver affordable housing across the country. The funding was granted following a lengthy application process with set criteria that include identified local housing need, location, available numbers and price.

Water in the air
I have not surveyed the drinking-water fountains at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports (letter, 6 January), but I can confirm that East Midlands airport has none. There are plenty of expensive bottles of water for sale. I was also refused a cup of water on a recent flight, but was invited to buy a bottle, which I declined.

Bunny business
Yesterday, it being Epiphany and the 12th day of Christmas, we duly took down our decorations and returned them to the attic for another year. Today, the 13th day of Christmas, I went to my local supermarket, to be confronted by the first of the chocolate Easter Bunnies. Given that one can buy pancake mixture for Shrove Tuesday, couldn't the Bunnies wait until Ash Wednesday?

Mobile cabinet
The Labour Cabinet is spending tens of thousands of pounds of our money roaming the country to listen to the people. I thought the system was that we elect representatives to Parliament, that they listen to us, and that the Government listens to Parliament. No need for expensive gallivanting. So where did it all go wrong?

Modern Morris
The Morris Ring does not represent all Morris dancers (report 6 January). They say that younger people are too embarrassed to take part. Members of the Lord Chancellor's Folk (mainly people in their 20s or early 30s) are female as well as male – out of keeping with the Morris Ring's strictures – and we have fun precisely because it is embarrassing! Morris dancing needs to modernise if it is not to perish, and we like to think we're helping.

- Interior design and visualizations of a fourty square meters flat.
This interior became quite a challenge, as the space will be used by a mother and her 6 years old daughter. The whole area was design keeping in mind the fact that the girl is just beginning her adventure with school and will need a place to study, but also that the mother will need a place to relax after work. Due to the small area of this interior we've decided to connect the living room together with study. Kitchen, bathroom and hallway are all kept in bright colours, so that the space does look bigger and brighter.
In this interior you'll find many shelves and cabinets, giving the residents much space to hide their belongings and keep the flat clean.
The goal of this project was creating a modern, simple space, yet pleasent in every day use.

Pyotr Melissino Military Person
Pyotr Ivanovich Melissino (Greek: Πέτρος Μελισσηνός, Petros Melissinos), (Russian: Пётр Мелиссино), (French: Pierre De Mellisino); ca. 1726 – ca. 1797) was a General of the Artillery of the Russian Empire and was widely considered the best Russian artilleryman of the 18th century. He was born as Petros Melissinos on the Greek island of Cephalonia in 1726, he was of Greek origin and his father was a physician who belonged to the noble Greek family of Melissenos (Greek Μελισσηνός). Throughout his life, he prided himself on his Greek origin. He received a thorough education in his youth and was fluent in many languages including Russian, German, Italian, French, Turkish as well as his native Greek, he also knew some Latin and English. Melissinos arrived in Russia during the reign of Peter the Great and ended his career as Vice-President of the Commerce Collegium in 1740-45. During the Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774, Pyotr Melissino was in charge of the Russian artillery. His efficient command helped Russian forces prevail against a fourfold numerical superiority of the Ottomans at Khotin, Larga, and Kagula. In 1783, he was appointed Director of the Artillery and Engineering Corps in St.

Military conflicts participated
Russo-Turkish War
The Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774 was a decisive conflict that brought Southern Ukraine, Crimea and the upper northwestern part of the North Caucasus within the orbit of the Russian Empire. Though the victories accrued by the Russian Empire were substantial, they gained far less territory than otherwise would be expected. The reason for this was the complex struggle within the European diplomatic system for a balance of power that was acceptable to other European leading states, rather than Russian hegemony. Russia was able to take advantage of the weakened Ottoman Empire, the end of the Seven Years' War, and the withdrawal of France as the continent's primary military power. This left the Russian Empire in a strengthened position to expand its territory but also lose temporary hegemony over the decentralized Poland. The greater Turkish losses were diplomatic in nature seeing its full decline as a threat to Christian Europe, and the beginning of the Eastern Question that would plague the continent until the end of the Ottoman Empire in the 20th century.
Seven Years' War
The Seven Years' War took place between 1754 and 1763 with the main conflict being in the seven-year period 1756–1763. It involved most of the great powers of the time and affected Europe, North America, Central America, the West African coast, India, and the Philippines. In the historiography of some countries, the war is alternatively named after combatants in the respective theatres: the French and Indian War as it is known in the United States as well as among many English–speaking Canadians or the War of the Conquest as it is known in French-speaking Canada, while it is called the Seven Years' War by others in English-speaking Canada, Pomeranian War, Third Carnatic War, and Third Silesian War. Meanwhile rising power Prussia was struggling with Austria for dominance within and outside the Holy Roman Empire in central Europe. In the wake of the War of the Austrian Succession, the major powers "switched partners"; Prussia established an alliance with Britain while traditional enemies France and Austria formed an alliance of their own. The Anglo-Prussian alliance was joined by smaller German states and later Portugal.

Yelawolf, Hopsin
DJ Klever
Marquee Theatre
730 North Mill Avenue
Tempe, AZ, 85281-1204
This event is all ages
For as volatile as it sounds, the actual dictionary term for "radioactive" leaves a lot to the imagination. But just as he does with every word he spits, Ghet-O-Vision/Shady recording artist Yelawolf gives it new life and meaning. Making it a fitting title for his official debut album.
"I think its a perfect word to describe where I'm going," says the Alabama born rapper. "It's the fallout, the aftermath of everything I've been through and here's what's left. This radioactive material."
With a life story that no book could contain, the artist born Michael Atha could have auditioned for the "most interesting man in the world" title. Geograpically, he was born in a state that rests between Mississippi and Georgia but mentally he was raised in a state of constant change. Bouncing around between Alabama and Tennessee as a child, Wolf's upbringing exposed him to the impoverished realities of both White America's trailer parks and Black America's ghettos.
The duality would finally define itself on a fateful evening where his mother was playing host to a group of friends who happened to be the roadie crew for rapstars Run DMC. It was that night where Wolf, who was raised on a healthy dosage of Southern Rock, would hear songs like "My Adidas" and Beastie Boys "Paul Revere" for the first time. From that point on he knew that Hip Hop was now in his DNA. Unfortunately up to this point Wolf had to battle Hip Hop listeners who judged by outside appearance...but he's winning that fight now.
After years of toiling in the rap chitlin circuit, the mixtape matrix and doing hooks for a spectrum of artists ranging from Juelz Santana to Slim Thug, Wolf broke out in grand fashion with his critically acclaimed independent release Trunk Muzik (Ghet-O-Vision Ent.) on New Year's Day 2010. Prideful boasts on songs like "I Wish" ("I wish a motherfucker would tell me that I ain't Hip Hop/Bitch! You ain't Hip Hop!) made listeners look beyond his tattoo-decorated skin and respect his skills. The excitement, paired with his unforgettable live shows, led to numerous magazine covers a record deal through Ghet-O-Vision/Interscope and then a partnership with Shady Records. The label founded by the man who many naysayers opted to unfavorably compare him to, Eminem.
"There is a fair comparison between us," says Wolf. "But the true difference is vocal. The cadence and the words I use. There are words that I can rhyme that he can't just because of my Southern accent. I can go to totally different places because of my slang alone."
He wastes no time taking you to these places on Radioactive. With an additional meaning of aspiring to be "active on the radio" the album's first single "Hard White" featuring club music kingpin Lil Jon is a dark, 808-fueled uppercut that shows traces of the 3-6 Mafia influence he picked up while living in Tennessee. Wolf takes it even further on "Throw It Up" featuring former Mafia member Gangsta Boo and Eminem, pulling from both sides of the tracks he was raised on.
"Juxtaposition is very comforting for me," he says. "You can't stare at a square, that's boring. But if it's broken, you stare at it longer and try to figure it out. This song is culturally impactful."
With skateboarding being his first love before his affair with Hip Hop, Yelawolf already traveled the country living everywhere between California and New York, crashing on couches and park benches. So when he writes national anthems like "Made In the USA" that pairs lyrics about the dirt with a flowery hook, know that it comes from the perspective of a fly that has been in the dumps, not just on the wall.
"The grit and gutters are what I know the most about," says Wolf who also had a stint as an artic fisherman in Alaska. "I always believed that the people who build the cars, clean the houses, dig the ditches and sell the drugs are the ones who make the world go round. As pretty as the hook is, it's still sarcastic. The melody is great, but I was able to hide a real vocal point behind it."
He continues to drive these points home on the tracks "Growing Up In the Gutter" featuring his Slumerican partner in rhyme Rittz and the instant smash "Let's Roll" featuring fellow American badass Kid Rock. Both of which showcase his unique ability to shift gears from Southern Hip Hop to Southern Rock all the while remaining neutral in his own lane.
""I'm one of the most honest artists out there and I've always been this way," says Wolf in mentioning his crotch-kicking manifesto "No Hands" where he shoots at naysayers and imitators. "It doesn't matter what music I make whether I'm rapping on an 808 or over a guitar. I have a birth right to talk about these things that I do."
Radioactive is also Yelawolf's opportunity to open up and share some of the non-musical experiences that have made him the man and artist he is today.
On "I See You," a song inspired by a talk with his grandmother, he talks about hitting rock bottom before finally realizing that you had the best in life all along. With "The Hardest Love Song In the World" he stays true to the title admitting that it's two parts difficult writing a "rap ballad," especially about the special type of woman he likes. Then in the appropriately named "The Last Song" he talks about his rocky relationship with his estranged biological father, for the final time.
"I'm not mad at him and I don't have a grudge," he says. "But I just had to get that off, musically."
Though he's been releasing material since the early 2000's, Radioactive qualifies as Yelawolf's official "debut." Unlike his prior efforts that were recorded in basements and garages, only to be appreciated by his first core of loyal fans, this album was captured amidst rigorous touring, growing anticipation and now, expectation. If his ability to survive the last ten years are any indication, Wolf will rise to the occasion and beyond.
"I see this album as my Southernplayalistic and I hope it does what "Hey Ya!" or "B.o.B" did for Outkast," says the artist who was featured on Big Boi's 2010 single "You Ain't No DJ" that was produced by Andre 3000. "The goal of making albums is seeing where else you can go. I made sure everything I made was at the core, true to what i was."
It would probably be easier if we told you what Hopsin doesn't do, but Hop is an MC, producer, director, actor, and editor. And his journey has been anything but painless.
Like many kids, Hopsin wanted to be "cool". But as hard as he tried, he never graduated past being that "weird black kid" that rode around on a skateboard. He tried to get attention by making people laugh, but he always ended up being the butt of the joke. He wrote songs for girls to get them to like him, but got no love.
Stuck in special education classes, Hopsin did not see much of a future. His teachers did nothing but reinforce the feelings that he wouldn't amount to anything; especially if he continued to waste his time attending classes where nothing was actually being taught. So with no money and only a few real friends, Hopsin dropped out of school in 2004.
Despite the lack of support from anyone but himself, Hopsin knew that his raw talent to rhyme would one day allow him to spit in the face of all of his critics. In the meantime, however, he had to find a way to make money. He thought his goofiness would translate to an acting career so he auditioned for several roles. The only role that he was ever able to obtain was as a "day player" on Disney's That's So Raven. He thought things were looking up from there, but nothing seemed to come through after that.
Still determined to be one of Southern Cali's premier MCs he bought an $8 microphone from Wal-Mart, installed Fruity Loops on his computer, and locked himself in the basement. Not only did he spend countless hours perfecting his own craft, he also studied the careers of artists to better understand what has made them successful. As time went by he knew that his lyrics and production had surpassed what he was hearing on the radio. He combined his skills with a new image [often seen wearing white contacts] and emerged from the basement as a complete artist. In 2007, Hopsin signed a major record deal with Ruthless Records.
Hopsin gets his inspiration from all types of music, from 50 Cent & Alicia Keyes to the All American Rejects. His creativity and raw energy come from all the people in his life that have told him that he didn't have a future. At times his lyrics can be dark and grimy, but they only reflect all of the negativity that he has had to endure in order to get to where he is today.
Hopsin founded Funk Volume to share his story, spread his message, and display his many talents. He has been on a long journey to hone his skills, and to get comfortable being who he is. Now that he has the confidence there is no one and nothing that can stop him. He has come too far and been through too much. Funk Volume represents what has made Hopsin successful...real pain, real passion, real music.
DJ Klever aka Josh Winkler was born on the fourth of July in 1977. Before he could even walk, let alone strut, Josh was spoonfed the world of rhythm by way of his pops, famous blues musician, Juke Joint Johnny. At the tender age of four, Josh received his very first drum set, a ..manimall.. Muppet Show kit that he practiced playing until the skins busted.
Josh's wonder years were spent like any all-american kid: playing baseball, grinding curbs, and eating apple pie. He distinctly remembers the countless nights snuck out and hit Atlanta's local skate spots where his rep grew bigger for pushing big tricks.
At the age of sixteen, Josh..s passion for both music and tricks met the world of turntablism and Klever was born. Growing up with a hip hop background, Klever studied djs like Premiere, Cash Money, Afrika Bambaataa and Jazzy Jeff for their mixing and scratching arrangements even as a youngster; but he was also heavily influenced by the wilds of Atlanta and was a regular attendee of Freaknik. There he was intrigued by the booty music of Luke, 2 Live Crew, and Kilo.
By 1997, Klever began relentlessly competing in every local competition possible where he linked up with the Third World Citizens - Faust, Shorty, Shotgun, Craze, and T-Rock. In 2000, Klever seized the national DMC championship title and while at the international DMC competition, he was inducted into the world famous Allies crew, consisting of world-renowned turntablists such as Craze and A-Trak. Shortly after, Klever began traveling the globe a lot with Craze during so, the two released a now cult classic .. Scratch Nerds... Klever began to produce prominent break records for battle djs and producers. In 2001, Klev successfully defended his national DMC title. He then represented the states in London for the international tiltle. Later that year, he also took national ITF title in San Fransisco.
In the past 5 years, Klever has been performing his signature sets non-stop around the world (Taiwan, England, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Australia, Japan, etc). He consistently amazes crowds and party-goers from 60 to 60,000 at world renowned venues such as (but not limited to) Miami..s Ice Palace, Tai Pae..s Ministry of Sound, NYC..s Roxy and Irving Plaza, Club Fabric in London, numerous House of Blues venues throughout the U.S., El Rey Theatre in L.A., and Atlanta..s Tabernacle. He has also showcased his skills at monumental events like the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the Canadian Circa Skateboard Tour, Audiotistic in L.A., and the High Museum in Atlanta.
Klever has seen the future of his hometown because he paints it. Beyond his accredited mastery as a turntablist, his ability to combine crowd-roaring routines and mix sets with his signature party rocking steez has established his name throughout the dj circuit as ..tomorrows dj... He moves crowds in every direction from his roots of crunk, booty, and hip hop to the sweaty sounds of electro, dance-rock, b-more, new-wave, hard rock, and anything worthy to make you rock with finesse
He has released several mix CDs obtaining notoriety from culture heavy hitters such as Turntable Lab and Tablist magazine. He also two immensely popular battle break records with DJ SHOTGUN (former dj for Goodie Mob), Dirty South Breaks and Get Crunk Breaks. More commercially, his talent can be also heard on various production: Rob Swift..s (X-ecutioners) album - Sound Event, Bubba Sparxxx.. - Deliverance. To NBA BALLERS 2: PHENOM.
Not only audibly, KLEVER's skills have been featured in numerous DVDs: the film Scratch (a DJ documentary awarded at the Sundance Music Festival, A-TRAK..s Sunglasses are a Must, Stanton..s - Step-By-Step (instructional), Tableturn..s - A Great Day In Turntablism, the 2000 & 2001 USA/World DMC Championships, the 2001 ITF USA Championships, 2002 & 2003 USA and JAPAN ALLIES Invitational All Star Beatdown, and the upcoming ALLIES (untitled) self produced DVD.
KLEVER is currently a member of the world famous ALLIES/ammo rec. /STPCHLD crew, He is working on collaborative projects that encompass the street culture lifestyle through music art and fashion. Between touring nonstop and his dedicated lab time, you can find Klever maintaining his monthly residency at Atlanta..s most off-the-wallest party otherwise known as Sloppy Seconds.

A move to announce the viewer ratings of news channels once a month – rather than the current weekly announcement – has spurred opposition from advertisers as well as some channels. The media research agency which releases the ratings has refused to implement the change until it receives written consent from all stakeholders.
The decision to shift from weekly to monthly ratings for all national news and business channels in Hindi and English was announced by the News Broadcasters Association on Thursday, citing an effort to improve news standards.
"News channels, being distinct from other genres, have a responsibility to inform and empower its viewers with quality programming…rather than providing content merely for garnering viewership," said an NBA statement. Insisting that news programming cannot always be linked to popularity or audience measurement, the NBA said that standards could "only improve with time spent on strategic planning and research rather than knee jerk reactions taken on a weekly basis."
It added that the changes were expected to be implemented from October, initially for two years, and eventually the monthly format would be implemented for regional news channels as well.
Some channels have welcomed the move. NDTV's senior managing editor Sonia Singh deplored the way that news channel marketing often includes advertisements claiming the "No.1 position" on the basis of fragmented weekly ratings. "It's almost become like the Friday Box Office," she said. "For the news business, content should be king."
The senior editor at a leading Hindi news channel agreed: "Weekly TRPs are one of the reasons for the dumbing down of news channels," he said. "The sword is always hanging over your head that by Wednesday [when viewership ratings are released], you've to prove you are the best."
However, this is not a universal view: industry sources say some of the opponents of the shift include those with representatives on the NBA Board which mooted the proposal in the first place. "Worldwide, the trend is toward daily ratings, so shifting in the other direction to monthly ratings seems rather strange," said the senior editor of a leading English news channel. "Every industry needs benchmarks. The big advertisers are simply not going to stand for this."
The NBA statement insisted the shift "would not in any way hamper the decision making of advertisers and advertising agencies" because they would continue to get access to data broken down to a minute or a day-part or a specific programme.
Advertisers not happy
Advertisers are not happy with the NBA's unilateral announcement. "[Monthly ratings] would be difficult to implement, because the advertisers who are putting their money into this, want day-to-day information," said Nagesh Alai, who heads advertising agency Draft FCB in the region. He is also president of the Advertising Agencies Association of India, but emphasised that he was speaking in his individual capacity. While the NBA held a "cursory" meeting with the Advertising Agencies Association of India two months ago, there were no detailed discussions or tacit agreement to go ahead with the shift, said Mr. Alai.
Television Audience Management, better known as the TAM Media Research agency, which actually compiles and releases the ratings, has refused to implement the NBA's decision.
TAM chief executive L.V. Krishnan says the NBA was told on September 6 that it must first discuss its proposal with other industry stakeholder associations including those representing advertisers, advertising agencies, and other general entertainment channels who all use the same TAM database.

California DNA Collection Law Struck Down 192

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Arrest != Conviction
Law enforcement and legislators haven't been able to see the distinction for a long time. It's a wonder we still have courts.
Pretty big difference between being searched and having your DNA profile scanned and put into a database indefinitely (where it can functionally stay indefinitely whether you're convicted, never prosecuted, or even if you've been found innocent).
The problem is Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Voter can't tell the difference between "accused" and "convicted".
Many of them don't care about the difference between accused and convicted.
Unreasonable is a pretty slippery word
Exactly wrong. Unreasonable isn't slippery at all, at least, not in the case of search. It's defined right in the 4th amendment, quite specifically. Go read it. [usconstitution.net]
Also, the courts have no authority to abrogate the meaning of the 4th amendment. Article three awards the power to judge guilty or not; it does not award the power to alter. That is limited to article five. This is simply the government acting out of the bounds of its authorization, exerting, in this case, power that was explicitly forbidden to it.
[Crash programs] fail because they are based on the theory that, with nine women pregnant, you can get a baby a month. -- Wernher von Braun

Next up is a Russian Imperial Stout, I plan on letting this one age until Christmas and Ill give it out as gifts. Here is the recipe, Ill be brewing it next weekend. Im looking for input anything I should change
add, remove?
Partial Mash: 5 Gallons
10lb Extra Pale Extract
1.25lb Black Roasted Barley
1.25lb Black Patent Malt
2lb Brown Malt
1lb 2-row Malt
3oz warrior (60 min)
Wyeast London ESB 1968
Partial Mash at 155 for 45 min.
Hello, recipe looks great...if I was to offer any advice, it would be to switch your yeast to Wyeast 1028 or 1450. I have used these in the past and they worked great..in addition I dont believe Wyeast recommends 1968 for a Russian Imperial...but no matter which way you go, I hope it turns out well!
How about some Malto Dextrin to get a nice thick mouthfeel? Just a thought!
If you love all things beer... Click here to check out my blog!!!
That seems like quite a lot of black patent to me. You'll get flavour and colour from the roast barley surely?
Maybe stick some flaked barley in for flavour, mouth feel and head retention?
Not the biggest deal, but why mash for only 45 minutes? If your aging it for a year I would think that an extra 15 minutes on brew day wouldn't be a big deal. Might not change too much for a PM, but just a thought
i dont know about that much black. but ive been wrong before. id ease it back to a pound just to be safe. maybe add some oak chips in the secondary.
That's an awful lot of black patent malt...personally I wouldn't use more than 8 oz.
[/I] Up Next - HobgoblinAfter That - Czech PilsnerPrimary - Humboldt Hop Rod (4/24)Primary - NOT Wheat AG SNCA (5/5)Secondary - Conditioning - SNCA Clone (3/3),
You can use quite a lot of flaked barley, it's an adjunct that'll add body and head. My RIS conditioning has about 6%, it only has 1% black. The 5% chocolate, 2% roast barley and 5% crystal has looked after the colour and flavour.

Wednesday's Dinner
Since no one has started tonite's thread, I will again.
It was a gorgeous day today, albeit cool, which I love.
Tonite I made pasta with a fresh tomato sauce. Sauteed diced tomatoes in lots of olive oil and garlic and some red pepper flakes.
Hot here today - around 95. I actually like hot weather. Would have liked it better if it was the weekend and I could have gone to the pool.
DH and I were supposed to go to a wine tasting tonight. He's had a bad headache all day and didn't feel like going. I ended up meeting friends there alone. It was very nice. DH had already eaten, so I stopped and got a frozen dinner from the grocery store for me.
I did not accomplish a lot today, but did get 3 nice zucchini out of our garden and another egg from Buttercup. The weather was perfect. I watched Alyssa forenoon till nap time and then this evening till after 9. My supper was a bowl of Frosted Rice Krispies.
"Zucchetti " is just a cutsie word for very thin strips of zucchini. I have a mandolin that can cut veggies into very thin, narrow strips and I use that a lot. But there is also a gadget that cuts the veggie into noodle shaped strips.
I made a quickie frittata with asparagus, onions, mushrooms, and cheese and a fresh picked salad of chard, cukes, and tomatoes.

If the Tsarnaev brothers - the duo allegedly behind the Boston Marathon bombing - set off two of their pressure cooker bombs every day, in a year's time they'd amass 1,095 victims (providing they killed the same number of people each day).

Bank of England Maintains Base Rate & Quantitative Easing
The Bank of England today announced that it would maintain the Bank Base Rate at 0.5%, which has been widely expected.
Previously speculation that the bank may decide to make a small increase was batted away recently by the incoming Govenor Mark Carney.
The historic low of 0.5% was introduced back in March 2009.
The Bank also decided to maintain the level of stock asset purchases financed by the inssuance of central bank resevers – otherwise known as Quantitative Easing.
This remain at £375 billion which it was increased to on 5th July 2012.
The Committee reached its decisions in the context of the monetary policy forward guidance announced alongside the publication of the August 2013 Inflation Report.
Also in the context of that guidance, the Committee agreed to reinvest the £1.9 billion of cash flows associated with the redemption of the September 2013 gilt held in the Asset Purchase Facility.
