recutting my blown out main
A total a recut, especially with the original dimensions lost in time, is difficult at best. If you can send me a digital pic of the sail beating to windward @ 10-15kt., held near to the centerline and with normal mainsheet tension, etc. ... and the pic taken from directly under the boom (looking to the top of the mast) I''ll better be able to give a more precise suggestion on rebuilding. A temporarily placed draft stripe at mid section (halfway up using a removable masking tape etc.) would be of benefit. The maximum draft on a main (for a masthead rig) should be at mid-cord to 40% of mid cord from the luff; a too far forward draft location will get you nowhere. I completely disagree with BigRed as normally (again assuming a dacron sail with dacron 3 strand boltrope) the boltrope system doesnt have to be entirely replaced - many times you can simply slide the old rope from the sleeve and put in a new one with the proper normal preload and simply restitch the 3 connections with sail twine and a robust sail needle and awl. Leech sag (stretch) over time usually does NOT affect draft location. If the leech is stretched (tripped), sometimes you can ''get away'' with placing intermediate short lightweight battens between the present battens - otherwise its a simple process of reseaming the panels ends to correct for a leech that falls off to leeward. The real question that you have to ask yourself is: is the sail material too far degraded by UV that any adjustment will NOT be worth the effort, is the stitching UV destroyed and the sail need an entire restitching? Is the material degraded (weak), etc., for that case you probably will need a new sail.

EOF - The Free Software Act
Free software licenses function in a number of different ways. First, they are a statement of rules about what free software programmers can and cannot do within their own communities. Part of the reason for complying with these conditions is the power of reputational capital: there is an incentive to play the game by the recognised rules, whether formal or informal, written or understood. The licenses also bind in a legal way because they are built on copyright and licensing or contract law. Copyright protects authors' original creations by allowing them to prevent access to their work; software licenses permit access to such works, under certain conditions. When the licenses are proprietary, what the user can do with the work is quite restricted, whereas free software licenses allow different degrees of freedom. Some, such as the BSD licenses, have practically no requirement to give anything back. Others, such as the GNU GPL, place strong obligations on authors when software is modified and published.
The law governing software licensing appears straightforward, but it is not. Contract law varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, as does copyright. A law drafted in one legal system may not bind in another. Therefore, ideally speaking, some international standardisation of law in this area should be in place to make sure rules that bind in one country do likewise in another.
This point was made clear to me when I began studying this area of law from a socio-legal perspective some years ago. I believed that free software legislation was something that programmers involved in this line of work should seek. I started work with the Free Software Consortium (FSC) during the summer of 2003 and was appointed as coordinator of their Legal Governing Body. In Costa Rica last September, I commenced a project to draft free software legislation with a view to getting it passed by legislatures around the world. The project is in its infancy but is maturing rapidly.
My early take on the matter was that because the GNU GPL was the most commonly used license among free software developers, the law should be put in place to protect this scheme. Draft 1 of the Free Software Act attempted to enshrine its terms and added a few more, such as protection for any programmers who inadvertently infringed a copyright. This latter point would preempt any recurrence of vexatious lawsuits, such as the current SCO vs. IBM case. I quickly was put right, however, by colleagues in the FSC and by Richard Stallman himself, who advised me that such legislation should not seek to copyleft all free software but, rather, should endeavour to grant legislative force to all free software licenses. Draft 2 was an improvement on the first draft but still appeared to copyleft all free software. I began work on Draft 3 after Christmas 2003, and it recently was completed. I currently am working on Draft 4, which I hope will hit the mark more closely. Once completed, Draft 4 will be available on the FSC Web site, as are the earlier versions.
My idea about this project is to make it a venture of the Free Software community as a whole. The worst types of law are those that disrupt beneficial and functioning social contracts, such as the introduction of copyright law to cover software when previously it had been a shared resource. Lawyers have to respond to social movements and change. They should take part in such movements and share such drafting activities, so they become linguistic facilitators of communities' customs and wishes, rather than interlopers who enter the fray and disrupt it.
This project continues to be a learning experience for me. Initially, I saw value in protecting only the copyleft system, as it is the most common one, makes the most demands and potentially is most vulnerable in the eyes of the law. Other considerations need to be taken into account, however. Such a law would prove divisive if it protects only one, albeit the majority, view. It would be preferable, indeed, to have an international law that gives protection to all free software licenses. This would mean any clashes between the license and the contract or copyright law of the particular country in which the case is being tried would be irrelevant: the legislation would act to bind third parties and would ensure that rights recognised in one place would be recognised similarly in another.
At the time of this writing, Draft 3 is the most recent version of the Act, and it can be viewed on the FSC Web site at www.fsc.cc. Comments are welcome, and participants to the FSAct mailing list at firstname.lastname@example.com are encouraged. Alternatively, you can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Photos of Shia LaBeouf Riding a Skateboard in LA
Shia and His Hand Close One Door But Open Another
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Shia LaBeouf showed off his new beard as he skated down the street in LA yesterday. We hope he's being careful since it looks like his hand is still not fully healed yet and he's even had to drop out of a movie due to his injury. After a dramatic year, the past few months have been relatively quiet for Shia as he's been going about his business and making time to sit courtside at a few Lakers games. Luckily a fresh start is just around the corner with a new year and it sounds promising for Shia so far — he's already landed a new role in the screen adaptation of John Grisham's The Associate.

Girls Churidar is the most sought after childrens apparel among mothers with cute little daughters. The modest appearance of girls of any physical stature in churidar girls reasons this demand. In a country like India, our heritage teaches chastity to young girls from a tender age. This conservative set up encourages adolescent girls and teens to wear more girls churidar amidst their academic achievements and future professional ambitions.
Anarkali is very popular in party wear and for casual wear short kurtis and salwars, preferably Patiala salwars are chosen from the girls churidar . Parallel bottoms or shararas are also very popular in churidar girls section. Some parents opt for leggings or elastic waists for their girls churidar because they dont want their girls to get frustrated in wearing them and removing them. Young girls accompany their mother in the churidar shopping and pick the nuances of fashion and good grooming. They make suggestions from what they learnt through their friends and through the media.
Online sources though, are a good choice for buying girls churidar owing to the wide exposure, easy shopping formalities and smooth shopping conveniences like the comfort of ones own residence. Top textile showrooms come up with new models especially during the festive season and these churidar girls could be well explored in the websites mainatained by these showrooms. Suitability of colour shades, designs and body cut patterns should be kept in mind while choosing one of the girls churidar . Variety should be maintained in these girls churidar and number of party wears should be in good balance with those of casual wears.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Summer Pre-sessional
- Can I get a single visa (CAS) to cover both my Durham Pre-Sesssional programme AND my Durham degree programme?
- Do I have to re-take the IELTS at the end of the course?
- Will I continue automatically onto my degree course after Pre-sessional?
- How many students fail Pre-Sessional?
- What is the assessment used on the course?
- What is the course like?
- How useful will the Pre-sessional course be to me?
- How do I know how many months of Pre-sessional I should take?
- What does it mean to 'sucessfully complete' the Two or Three Month programme (EAP1, 2)?
- What does it mean to 'successfully complete' the one month PARSE programme (EAP3)?
Can I get a single visa (CAS) to cover both my Durham Pre-Sesssional programme AND my Durham degree programme?
If you are a one-month PARSE programme student AND you have confirmed your previous degree GPA for your Durham department, the answer is yes. You will receive a single CAS and you will not need to renew your visa at the end of your Pre-Sessional course.
If you are an eight or a twelve-week student, the answer is maybe. UK immigration regulations changed in early 2014 and these now allow the possibility of a single CAS. If you hold a conditional offer for a Durham degree programme and have also been offered a place on a Pre-Sessional programme, it may well be possible to obtain a single visa to cover you for both courses of study. The University will let you know if this is going to be possible for your application.
Please note: if you are an EEA applicant or hold a passport from an English Majority country, you do not need a visa to study in the UK.
Do I have to re-take the IELTS at the end of the course?
- No. If you successfully complete the Pre-sessional, you will have fulfilled your English condition.
- Note, however, that you are still able to take the IELTS instead of Pre-sessional if you would like to, especially if you think that you will not be able to successfully complete the Pre-sessional
Will I continue automatically onto my degree course after Pre-sessional?
- If you are a PARSE (one-month Pre-sessional) student and/or you have an unconditional offer from your Durham department, yes, you will proceed onto your chosen academic programme at the end of September.
- If you are a 12 week (EAP 1) or 8 week (EAP 2) student, then no, continuation is not automatic. Entry onto your degree course depends on your Pre-sessional performance. You must successfully complete Pre-sessional to the level required by your department, in order to proceed. For most departments this means getting a Pre-sessional 'B' grade.
How many students fail Pre-Sessional?
- Very few. Over 95% of students with conditional offers successfully complete Pre-Sesional and proceed into their chosen Durham departments.
- It is very important to understand, however, that you can fail the course. Progression is not automatic. If your offer is conditional, attendance alone does not guarantee that you will enter your department. You must achieve an exit grade of 'B' or higher. Please also see the FAQ on successful completion.
What is the assessment used on the course?
- We do not decide your Pre-sessional grade only with an end-of-course test. We use a combination of work you do throughout the course.
- During the course you will do take-home assignments and timed writing assignments in class. Additionally, you will do a research project over the course of the programme on a topic that you choose from within your field of study. This will include a written essay and a presentation. All of these items form part of your overall assessment.
- Your exit grade at the end of the course is composed of scores for writing (timed conditions + edited work) and speaking (presentations + seminars). Your final report form will show an overall grade and individual grades for each of these components.
What is the course like?
- In general we aim to provide you with a socialisation into the kinds of academic practices that you will be experiencing on your degree programmes at Durham. By working with academic content in reading, listening, speaking and writing, you will participate in work that will reflect in some way similar tasks and processes to those you will need from October. Through spoken and written academic work you will also work on your linguistic skills, and increase your awareness of appropriately academic means of expression.
- We also emphasise research skills and help you to become familiar with the library at Durham. These skills are improved through an extended essay project on a topic in your acacemic field of study.
How useful will the Pre-sessional course be to me?
- Past students tell us that the Pre-sessional course really helped them to succeed on their degree course.
- Departments also tell us they can see a positive difference between those students who take Pre-sessional and those who do not.
- Most students who have taken Pre-sessional report back that they feel far more prepared for their studies than international students who have not taken the course.
How do I know how many months of Pre-sessional I should take?
- You need to submit your IELTS (or TOEFL) score to your department. If you were not able to achieve the required score, your department will determine whether Pre-sessional is an acceptable alternative AND how many months of Pre-sessional to take. While the English Language Centre can advise the department, the decision rests with the department, so you need to contact them.
- An increasing number of students with fully unconditional offers are also now choosing to take a Pre-sessional programme to improve their academic literacy skills in English. In this case, we recommend one month if you are looking for some extra time to adjust to living in Durham and you hope to get a general idea of what the expectations are in an English university in terms of essay writing, research, etc.
- If you are hoping to see greater improvement in your academic literacy, basic research and language skills, we would recommend two or three months of Pre-sessional study.
What does it mean to 'sucessfully complete' the Two or Three Month programme (EAP1, 2)?
- In order to successfully complete the two/three month Pre-sessional you must meet the 90% attendance requirement and complete all the assignments and assessment on the course. At the end of your programme, you need to obtain an overall 'B' grade.
- In our experience those students who come to class every day and do all the work to the best of their ability are usually able to succeed.
What does it mean to 'successfully complete' the one month PARSE programme (EAP3)?
- In order to successfully complete the four week PARSE Pre-sessional you must meet the 90% attendance requirement and complete all the assignments and assessment on the course.
- If you've only been asked to do one month, the assumption is that your English is already almost good enough but that you will benefit from one month of academic literacy skills development. You do not need to worry, therefore, about grades and assessment, provided you come to class every day and complete all the required work to the best of your ability.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Thirteen illegal aliens working at Waco Manufacturing in North Little Rock, Arkansas were arrested early Wednesday morning by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents who executed federal arrest warrants at the site. The arrest warrants were obtained by ICE agents who identified document fraud and misuse of Social Security cards by the defendants.
ICE special agents arrested a total of 13 males, ten from Guatemala and three from Mexico. On July 25, 2008, all of those individuals arrested were convicted for document fraud and misuse of Social Security cards and are currently in the custody of the United States Marshal's Service. On July 28, 2008, all subjects will be transferred to ICE Office of Detention and Removal and will be placed in removal proceedings. Their immigration status makes it illegal for them to work in the United States.
Wednesday's action was conducted with the assistance of Special Agents from Social Security's Office of Inspector General.
Since its establishment in 2003, ICE has dramatically enhanced its efforts to combat the unlawful employment of illegal aliens in this country. ICE's comprehensive strategy for worksite enforcement is aimed at promoting national security and public safety, protecting critical infrastructure, and ensuring fair labor standards.
Thus far in fiscal year 2008 (October 2007 through July 11, 2008), ICE has made 937 criminal arrests in connection with worksite enforcement investigations. Of those, 99 involve owners, managers, supervisors or human resources employees who face charges ranging from harboring to knowingly hiring illegal aliens. In addition to the criminal arrests, ICE has made more than 3,500 administrative arrests for immigration violations during worksite investigations in that same time frame. Last year, ICE made more than 4,900 arrests in worksite enforcement cases, including 863 involving criminal violations. Last year's figure represents a 45-fold increase in criminal worksite arrests compared to fiscal year 2001. Furthermore, in fiscal year 2007, ICE obtained more than $31 million in criminal fines, restitutions and civil judgments as a result of worksite related enforcement actions.
Special Agent Holt commended Special Agents from Social Security's Office of Inspector Generalfor their outstanding assistance with this case.
The U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern district of Arkansas has accepted the case for prosecution.

Great RV park with large sites and a great layout. Lots of green space and a nice change from the usual gravel lot style of campground. The owners went out of their way to ensure people felt welcome. We were also pleasantly surprised to see live music and a "screech-in" ceremony for guests. It was a great experience and we're looking forward to staying here again. The local area was fun to explore (Stop in and say hi to Chap and see his car collection, see the most westerly point on the island and the great sandy beaches) and the craft shop had the best selection of authentic Newfoundland crafts we found during our trip. - User3559
Aug 2014 - $30.00
Talk about a lovely campground. While I typically choose EW sites, the full service sites are far superior to the EW sites, the latter apparently being the original sites at this campground. If you like privacy, request one of the sites along the perimeter. Each site comes with a picnic table, fire pit and free firewood. While the washrooms are older, they are very clean and offer free hot showers. There are laundry facilities ($) and recycling. Cell phone coverage is spotty, at best, but there is a pay phone by the office. - driftdiver1

Some charming thing
They say if this is compelling I'll get your attention, but I have a feeling it's actually because you dig my picture. Either way thanks for checking me out. Little bit about me: I have two incredible sons, I'm in nursing school and I work at a microbrewery. I love snowboarding, yoga, going out dancing, and trying a out new breweries and food. I put a lot of value on family, friendship, and health (I'm nowhere near perfect on that one). I'm native to Colorado and absolutely love everything this state has to offer. Little bit about what I'm looking for: Obviously no one is going to fit into a box, but ideally someone with a great sense of humor, open minded, self aware, motivated and active. Appreciation for good beer gets extra points. I enjoy watching sports but honestly usually have no idea what's going on so you may have to deal with repeatedly explaining the rules, one day I'll get it...maybe. What it really comes down to for me is an honest and fun connection. Hope to hear from you soon!

Framing Faith
From Camera to Pen: An Award-Winning Photojournalist Captures God in a Hurried World
By Matt Knisely
Review: In our increasingly distracted and plugged-in world, it's tough to find moments to stop, slow down, and be present. But in Framing Faith, photojournalist Matt Knisely reminds us that although we have eyes, we often fail to see. Those spare moments exist, but they often pass us by as we flit from Twitter to Facebook, email to Instagram. Rather than filling our days with these distractions, Knisely encourages us to find God in those often overlooked spare moments. Framing this faith journey with photography, Knisely challenges us to shift our eyes from our screens and look through his lens. Not only does he show us what he's found—he helps us realize what we've been missing.
—Sarah Butler, Assistant Editor, U.S. Catholic
Thomas Nelson says: Framing Faith is a book for people seeking to focus their lives, to find a deeper knowledge of God, and a more authentic Christian faith.

Master of Ceremonies: A Novel
By Donald Cozzens
Review: As a former vicar for priests, Donald Cozzens knows and understands the inner workings of the Catholic Church, and especially the clerical culture, better than anyone. In recent years his honest, courageous, and insightful writing has shed much light on the root causes and the cultural and systemic failures that led to the clergy sexual abuse crisis.
In his first novel, Master of Ceremonies, Cozzens now uses all that inside knowledge to spin a page-turning tale around the consequences of clergy sexual abuse, the machinations of a secret society of careerist and hypocritical priests and bishops, and a few good Catholics working to uncover the truth. There is scandal, murder, love, and intrigue—you'll have a hard time putting it down.
—Meinrad Scherer-Emunds, Executive Editor, U.S. Catholic
ACTA Publications says: Father Donald Cozzens has written an unflinching story of clergy sexual abuse and its very personal consequences. A thriller of a novel, not for the squeamish or faint of heart.

Just call me Lopez: Getting to the Heart of Ignatius Loyola
By Margaret Silf
Review: A simple happenstance can change the course of the future. When Rachel finds herself injured in a bicycling accident, she's lifted up by a stranger named López, whom we recognize as St. Ignatius of Loyola.
Margaret Silf's Just call me López follows the unlikely friendship between the 16th-century saint and the 21st-century woman. Their journey together in this historical fiction centers on transformation: St. Ignatius' shift from being a raucous youth to a devoted pilgrim of God, and Rachel's change as her newfound friend gently guides her through the daily struggles of life. Their grace-filled and reflective conversations—over many cups of coffee—will slowly shape your heart and soul as well.
—Caitlyn Schmid, Assistant Editor, U.S. Catholic
Loyola Press says: In Just call me López, a twenty-first-century woman, Rachel, meets the man who becomes the saint, and both are transformed by their unlikely friendship and series of thought-provoking conversations.

The Wisdom of the Beguines: The Forgotten Story of a Medieval Women's Movement
By Laura Swan
Review: This fascinating account tells the story of a little-known but surprisingly widespread movement of medieval women that started in the early 1200s. The beguines, active across Europe, were laywomen who formed their own communities, served the poor and sick, ran successful businesses, preached, wrote spiritual tracts, and achieved an unusual degree of independence.
Some of their medieval visions, practices, and reported miraculous occurrences may sound strange to modern ears, but Laura Swan tells the stories of these strong women leaders—their great resilience and success, as well as the envy, criticism, and persecution they suffered—with great sympathy. In the process she makes a compelling case that the beguines offer readers "hope and a fresh path … to live with prophetic courage."
—Meinrad Scherer-Emunds, Executive Editor, U.S. Catholic
BlueBridge says: Beguines were medieval laywomen defined by their visionary spirituality, unusual business acumen, and strong commitment to the poor and marginalized. The beguines invite us to seek out their wisdom and to discover them anew.

When Saint Francis Saved the Church: How a Converted Medieval Troubadour Created a Spiritual Vision for the Ages
By Jon M. Sweeney
Review: Jon M. Sweeney's compact book sets the poor man of Assisi in the context of the church and society of his day, demonstrating how Francis often trod on dangerous ground—and why no pope had taken his name for 800 years. Early on, the author dispatches our weak, pious notions of Francis. In their place he describes a man whose revolutionary approaches to friendship, poverty, spirituality, death, nature, and people on the margins drew many to his side, even though few could hack what it really meant to follow him.
Sweeney deftly shows how Francis, ahead of his time, is also a man for our time, less interested in doctrines and debates than in how humans ought to treat the world and one another.
—Catherine O'Connell-Cahill, Senior Editor, U.S. Catholic
Ave Maria Press says: Bestselling author Jon M. Sweeney offers a surprising new look at the world's most popular saint, showing how this beloved, but often-mythologized character created a spiritual vision for the ages and may very well have rescued the Christian faith.

Wilder to be honored at jazz bash
"I have lived at the same address forever and I've never had an unlisted phone number. I was always available and I still am."
Nevertheless jazz parties are right up Wilder's alley, since he likes working in small groups "where you can listen and react" and prefers the role of sideman because "I've never been a showman. I let my horn do the talking."
Well, he'll have a lot of company for his talking horn at the San Diego Jazz Party: 17 other top-drawer musicians who share the same passion for mainstream jazz, all of whom will be playing 45-minute sets in combinations ranging from soloists to larger ensembles.
Wilder's compatriots will include cornetist Ed Polcer, the party's music director, trombonists Dan Barrett and Matt Finders, reedmen Houston Person, Harry Allen, Red Holloway and Evan Christopher, pianists John Sheridan and Dick Hyman, bassists Dave Stone and Richard Simon, guitarists Howard Alden and Eddie Erickson, vibraphonist John Cocuzzi, drummers Jake Hanna and Ed Metz Jr., and vocalist Becky Kilgore.
"I am particularly pleased that we were able to add quite a few new faces this year," said party producer and host Dave Cooper. "I'm referring to Finders, Holloway, Christopher, Stone, Metz and Hyman. I know Dick performed at San Diego jazz parties when Beverly Muchnic was hosting them. But that was a number of years ago."
The San Diego Jazz Party conforms pretty much to a typical jazz party format.
After a cocktail party for patrons late Friday afternoon, there'll be a 3 1/2-hour jazz session that night. The action picks up Saturday with a 90-minute jazz brunch followed by four hours of jazz Saturday afternoon and evening. Another four-hour session that begins late Sunday morning and ends midafternoon will put a wrap on the party.
San Diego Jazz Party
When: 5 to 11:30 p.m. Feb. 24; 10:45 a.m. to 11 p.m. Feb. 25; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 26
Where: Hilton San Diego/Del Mar, 15575 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar
Tickets: $210, all-event pass; $120, Saturday only (includes brunch); $60, Friday or Sunday

MORRILTON, Ark. (KTHV) - Two years after a building collapsed in downtown Morrilton killing a small child, the safety of another city building is brought into question. The mayor said a former schoolhouse turned Head Start facility is more than 70 years old, and during a recent inspection, city officials made a dangerous discovery.
Classrooms that should be filled with pre-school children are empty at Morrilton's Child Development Center, but parents like Alicia Martin said it's not by choice.
"They started school August 21st, and then we found out two days later that they were going to be closing. They had problems with the roof," explained Martin.
Mayor Stewart Nelson said the city donated the building to the Head Start program and a regular inspection last month revealed a dangerous sagging roof with the possibility of collapsing at any moment.
"The building appeared to be unsafe. Some of the joints are coming apart, some of the stuff is cracked, the building is in a pretty precarious situation," described Nelson.
Immediately, the mayor asked Head Start to close the building until repairs could be made, sending more than 100 kids home for an indefinite amount of time.
"It might happen tomorrow or it might be ten years from now. We just can't take a chance when it comes to young lives. We've got to take care of them," said Nelson.
Meanwhile, parents like Martin are struggling to find alternative care for their kids, hoping the city will find a solution sooner rather than later.
"With me working third shift, they are at home with me. But naturally, they are on a schedule where in the daytime, they are awake, but I'm sleepy. I have friends that they don't' know what they're going to do. They need the daycare to be open for their children," explained Martin.
The mayor said he wants to take bids to fix the roof, but it could take a month or longer to get the process going. He said the city council must vote on whether or not to pay for the repairs. He expects that vote to come next Monday at their regularly scheduled meeting held at city hall at 6 p.m.
Head Start is working to put some children in other buildings, but the majority of them will not be able to return until the roof is fixed.

Villanueva comes up short in Cubs 8-2 loss to Reds
In the bottom half, Emilio Bonifacio stole second base, but the call was reversed after a successful challenge by Reds manager Bryan Price.
The Cubs didn't score until the seventh, getting a pair of RBI singles from Ryan Sweeney and Nate Schierholtz off reliever Manny Parra. Parra was lifted with one out and the bases loaded. Sam LeCure entered and got Welington Castillo to ground into a double play.
Reds reliever Sean Marshall made his season debut in the ninth. He started the season on the DL with a sore left shoulder.

The Magazine
Literary Minority
The quest for a modest immortality may be genetic.
Dec 21, 2009, Vol. 15, No. 14 • By BARTON SWAIM
Soon William discovered the recently established public library in Greensborough, and from there his education began in earnest. He read every book he could borrow, and within about two years he became sufficiently literate to teach school and join a debating club called the Polemic Society. In 1823, aged 21, William delivered a speech to this club on the subject of reforming the constitution of North Carolina. In itself, the speech holds little interest. That it was written by a young man who had been illiterate a few years before is astonishing. The speech's arguments are not spectacular, but its diction is sophisticated and its sentences are clear.
"Let us approach the subject, then, at once and with firmness," William concludes. (He thought the legislature should call a convention to amend the constitution.) "Let us give our Constitution that honest investigation which its importance demands; and let us select a convention of delegates from among ourselves, to make such alterations as time, experience, and change of circumstances have shown to be essential to the future happiness and prosperity of the entire State."
A few months later William traveled to Baltimore to take on an apprenticeship with an antislavery paper called the Genius of Universal Emancipation, owned by the antislavery crusader Benjamin Lundy. The North Carolina Swaims were mostly Quakers, and William had been taught to loathe the slave system; his cousin Moses had been president of the Manumission Society of North Carolina, of which he himself had been a member since 1824. Almost immediately William was put in charge of the Genius, as it was called, so complete was Lundy's satisfaction with his work.
When he was forced to return home six months later owing to his father's death, William was approached by the proprietor of a local newspaper called the Patriot with an offer to purchase it. He bought it and, at the age of 27, became (in his own words) "a bona fide member of the fourth estate."
Over the next six years the Greensborough Patriot became a respectable newspaper with genuine intelligence relayed from North Carolina cities and northern newspapers. What made the paper famous, though, was its editor's refusal to avoid subjects many of his readers felt would be better left alone--chief among them slavery. A majority in the South believed slavery should be ended; disagreement arose over how to achieve that end. William saw that a consensus was forming that the subject should be treated with silence in the hope that it would go away.
"We belong not to that outrageously cautious few," he wrote, "who discuss the subject [of slavery], four hours at a heat, and then conclude by saying--'The question is too delicate for discussion!' "
William did not allow the Patriot to become a one-issue paper. He editorialized in favor of statewide public education, feeling as he did (and for understandable reasons, given his biography) that it was folly to let masses of poor farmers raise their children in ignorance. He aligned himself generally with the emerging Whig party and inveighed against Andrew Jackson's successful attempt to destroy the Second Bank of the United States, as well as Jackson's inhumane policies towards Indians and generally high-handed use of executive power.
But William's paper became best known for its editorial stance on slavery--so much so, indeed, that he frequently received threats. Once, a paper returned to his office with the words scrawled around the edges, "Reform your manner, friend, or faith keep your paper and your principles to yourself. Tar and feathers are plenty here, and any man who aims at abolition, under however specious disguise, is entitled to a coat of it . . . Look out." William pleaded with his readers time and again not to treat the subject of slavery as unmentionable: "So far as we have been able to understand the laws of the state," he wrote, "it has become an indictable offense to dream on the subject of slavery; and much more so to write or speak on a subject so exceedingly 'delicate.' " When a bill intended to prevent "seditious publications" from inciting insurrection among the black population was debated in the General Assembly, legislators spent an entire day debating whether the Greensborough Patriot would fall afoul of the law. The bill, which passed, made this crime punishable by one year in prison on the first offense; on the second, death "without benefit of clergy."
