Impeachment IS on the Table!!!
Yesterday, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced House Resolution 333,
of Impeachment Against Richard B. Cheney. The three articles accuse
Cheney of
deceiving the public and Congress about Iraq WMD and a link between
al Quaeda, and of publicly threatening agression against Iran,
any real threat to the United States." You can read a Synopsis,
Resolution, and supporting documentation at href="http://kucinich.house.gov/SpotlightIssues/documents.htm"
House website.Track this bill (has your Rep cosponsored?) at href="http://www.thomas.gov" target="_blank"thomas.gov
(enter HRes 333 in the search bar, then click "Bill Summary and
to see cosponsors, committee assignment, etc.) We'll need to lend
massive support
to this effort if it's to succeed. Kucinich's staff has said they need
us to
call and write members of the House Judiciary Committee, and our own
right now! In addition, we need to heavily contact the media — an
internet search brings up almost nothing about either Kucinich's press
conference held last night at 5pm, nor anything about the Articles
themselves. This is outrageous! If you're subscribing to a "news" outlet
that's not reporting on this important news, this is surely the time to
cancel your subscription and tell them why.
ACTION REQUEST: 911Truth.org is working on preparing
materials very specific to crimes committed by Cheney on 9/11–if you
in the district of one of the Judiciary Committee members and can help,
please contact firstname.lastname@example.com immediately. Thank you.

NEW YORK, N.Y., April 23, 2007 – Following on today's announcement by Rep. Dennis Kucinich that he will file Articles of Impeachment against Vice-President Dick Cheney, Americans across the country will take to the streets on April 28 to call for the impeachment of both Cheney and Bush. From Miami, Florida to North Pole, Alaska, more than 100 actions are planned nationwide.
Jacob Park, National Coordinator of the April 28 actions, said "George Bush and Dick Cheney lied the nation into an illegal war of aggression, are spying on millions of innocent Americans, and have authorized the use of torture. The time has come for all Americans—particularly our representatives in Congress—to decide where they stand. To turn a blind eye to lying, spying, and torture makes a mockery of our most basic values and the very notion of democracy."
On April 28, a visit by George Bush to Miami will be greeted with a massive impeachment rally organized by dozens of local groups. At the California Democratic Convention in San Diego, hundreds of delegates will defy the party leadership by bringing an impeachment resolution to the floor. Thousands of Americans will form "human murals" spelling out "IMPEACH!" with their bodies at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, Coney Island in New York, the foot of the Washington monument in Washington, D.C., and other locations. And elsewhere people will spell it out… Continue reading

by The Sleuth, Mary Ann Akers … "Behind the Scenes in Washington"
Washington Post — Looks like he's reached his boiling point.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), the most liberal of the Democratic presidential candidates in the primary field, declared in a letter sent to his Democratic House colleagues this morning that he plans to file articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.
Kucinich has made ending the war in Iraq the central theme of his campaign. He has even taken aim at the leading Democratic presidential candidates in the field for their votes on authorizing the war.
Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach the president, vice president and "all civil Officers of the United States" for "treason, bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Sources tell the Sleuth that in light of the mass killings at Virginia Tech Monday, Kucinich's impeachment plans have been put on hold. There will be no action this week, they say.
Kucinich's office had no comment on the Congressman's "Dear Colleague" letter — which apparently was drafted over the weekend, before the school massacre — or on what the focus of articles of impeachment against Cheney would be.
But Kucinich shouldn't hold his breath on getting anywhere with his impeachment plan. "We'll see a Kucinich Administration before we'll see a Cheney impeachment," quipped one Democratic aide.
Here is the text of his letter, a copy of which was forwarded to the Sleuth:

Dear Colleague:
This week I intend to introduce Articles of Impeachment with respect to the conduct of Vice President Cheney.…Continue reading
Recently, Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth founder Justin Martell interviewed Ohio Representative and presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich.
Partial transcript:
Justin Martell: Can you maybe address the 9/11 truth movement?
Dennis Kucinich: First of all, you have to understand that all over the country people are concerned about whether or not they've been told the truth about 9/11 and the way that the administration handled 9/11, taking us into a war against Iraq that had nothing to do with 9/11. It deepened people's suspicions about the possibility there may have been a cover-up. Because, why would the government lie about a cause for war? And so, what I'm saying is that I respect the concerns people have about whether they've been told the truth or not.
Because I want to be president of the United States, I know that unless you address that lack of trust, you're not going to be able to successfully lead a nation. And I want to be quite specific about this. It's my intention as Chairman of the Domestic Policy Subcommittee to focus in on two areas that I've — there are a number of areas, probably dozens of areas that haven't been appropriately probed. But I know of two, that I'm looking at. I'm not at liberty to discuss exactly what they are, but our committee will hold hearings on two discreet areas that have major implications with respect to the story that Americans have been told about 9/11.… Continue reading
We have critical windows of opportunity to bring the 9/11 truth imperative
to two important civil servants who are, it would seem, open to looking at evidence.
1. Charles Hynes, Brooklyn, NY District Attorney
Brooklynite Sander Hicks, author of The Big Wedding,
recently wrote to Hynes, appealing him to open up some form of investigation about 9/11. Hicks has also contacted
some of Hynes's staff to facilitate community input.
A district attorney — and in this case, a D.A. in a region with plenty of
constituents impacted by 9/11 — is a very powerful legal official: He would
have the power to convene a grand jury, to subpoena any witness or document, and
the grand jury could issue indictments against high officials or whomever. The
citizens who make up a grand jury decide whether indictments are justified. If
a prosecutor like Hynes (who successfully took down FBI-mobster Lin DeVecchio)
decides that he ought to pursue the 9/11 crimes from a new vantage point, it would
be a watershed event.
If you are a Brooklyn resident, contacting Hynes has special meaning — he is your D.A.!
So, before you do anything else tomorrow, do at least one of these things, in this order of importance:
1. CALL HIS OFFICE. Call and in calmly, respectfully, explain why you think a grand jury is necessary. Consider preparing brief notes. Call Orlando Rivera at 1.718.250.2300
Letters are concrete pieces of evidence of the public voice. Type… Continue reading
– Near Majority Support, Powerful New Tools, and Energized Activism Promise Endgame Soon
September 11 Press Release
from 911truth.org
September 11, 2006 (PRWEB) — The year leading up to the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks has been marked by an unprecedented upsurge in public mistrust of the official story portrayed in the 9/11 Commission Report. Respected national polling firms Zogby and Scripps Howard have shown that less than half the public believes in the conclusions or integrity of the 9/11 Commission, and 36% of Americans now think the administration was actively complicit in the attacks to advance its preplanned Mideast war agenda.
This outburst of popular skepticism has come in spite of five years of lockstep support for the official 9/11 narrative by the national press, broadcast media, and both major political parties. The mounting distrust spans the political, religious and ethnic spectrums, and has been largely driven by compelling new films, books, whistleblower reports, and escalating grassroots activism. Collectively these resources and constituencies not only offer the country hope for a fresh and truly honest 9/11 probe, but also a potent new base for radical political reform.
Activating the Newly Awakened
To mobilize the 70+ million voting age 9/11 skeptics identified by Zogby, 911truth.org has organized "Politics 911," a national effort to identify congressional candidates who would demand an honorable new 9/11 inquiry and then help generate support for their election. This campaign has started polling candidates nationwide and is currently recruiting grassroots poll volunteers at http://www.911truthgroups.org/911Truth.…Continue reading
& The July 25 Antiwar Demo in Boston
(A personal report by Nicholas Levis, July 27)
Several thousand people from around the world attended last weekend's Boston Social Forum to promote cooperation and cross-pollination among social justice movements. I don't believe there has been this kind of energy, urgency and enthusiasm tied to a global perspective for far-reaching change since the decline of the Sixties movements. More than ever, people know that it all fits together: ecology, local economics and global finance, social justice, minority rights, women's rights, the need for democratization, putting an end to the new global feudalism, imperialism and perpetual war. Most impressive was the obvious vitality of a wildly diverse, growing and determined American opposition to Bush, which understands that unseating him is only the beginning.
There were more than 600 events scheduled along ten "tracks," and although the average time block featured about 30 simultaneous meetings, every room I passed seemed to be packed. I can hardly report on the whole thing!
A contingent of 9/11 Truth activists visited the Boston Social Forum to promote our own activities. We found that 9/11 Truth has turned into a welcome cause among antiwar, peace and social justice activists. The vast majority are willing to listen, they no longer consider screwy the idea that intel elements inside and outside the U.S. government allowed the attacks or were complicit. Nearly everyone in the scene by now has seen the Deception Dollar and is at least aware of our theses.… Continue reading

The Vampire Diaries
Did Ian Somerhalder and Ashley Greene Date?
At 33 years old, Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) has lived long enough to garner quite a dating past. From Nicky Hilton to Maggie Grace, Ian has won over a lot of lovely ladies, including fellow vampire Ashley Greene of Twilight fame.
In 2009, Ian was spotted out and about with Ashley in Vancouver, where she was filming the franchise. The couple didn't last long, but we doubt there are any hard feelings between them.
After all, Ashley is pretty good pals with Ian's current girlfriend, Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert), so things couldn't be too awkward between the exes. What do you suppose Nina and Ashley chat about when they get together?

RE: Sarah Kellermeyer #106921386
Thank you. I'm sure this one wasn't manually changed by anyone though. My grave photo went immediately below the "person" photo as soon as I posted it. The primary photo never moved down at all, and rightfully so. I just wanted to figure out how because I think it's wonderful. :-)

Hello. This really isn't specifically about the memorial listed. It's more of a general question and hers was an example.
I noticed when I posted the photo of the headstone, her actual "person" photo didn't get bumped down like other photos usually do. Is there something you did to anchor a primary photo to the top of the memorial? I ask because I often post things like original birth, death or marriage certificates when I have them but I never like for them to go to the top over actual photos.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsCar Reviews
2012 Mustang Boss 302 - Boss Is Back
Living on the street and strip with the '12 Boss 302
Moments after cracking the key in the '12 Boss 302 Mustang at the famed Laguna Seca (Mazda Raceway) in Monterey, California, I recognized the potential of this specialty Mustang.
It melds Ford's muscle car and racing heritage with a slathering of high-performance technology rarely seen in a production vehicle. I desperately wanted to dive in to the potential, and I soon had my chance.
That first meeting between Boss and I was fantastic ("Boss Therapy," June '11). I exercised the Pony's corner-cutting abilities and fantastic braking, but I really wanted more seat time on the street and strip. The green light came as Ford delivered the first Competition Orange tester to our Tampa facility.
While boost is cool, I have a thing for naturally aspirated power, and Mike Harrison, V-8 engine program manager at Ford, and his crew gave the Boss the heart of a lion. It has 444 glorious horsepower, endless revs, and with the sidepipe baffles removed, there isn't a better sounding new car on the road. (If technical data is what you're after, please refer to the aforementioned June issue of MM&FF. This story is about emotion and feel.)
The Boss Mustang plays to all your senses. It makes the right sounds, has the right feel, and you can almost taste the high level of cornering grip and braking power, as well as the smoothness. If you're not at redline, you want to be there. The Recaro front buckets cradle you, and the Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel has the softness of a beautiful woman. The pedals are placed nicely and have a smooth, perfectly modulated feel, and the steering is the best Ford has offered. You feel connected on many levels. Yes, I've become one with the Boss.
But I digress. The new Boss 302 is fashioned after the original, a special package sold in 1969-1970, with enormous Cleveland heads installed to provide homologation for the Boss 302-powered Mustangs used in Trans Am racing. Parnelli Jones piloted a Boss 302 to the '70 Trans Am championship, a series that carried massive weight for the time. His win in 1970 remains a milestone achievement in American racing history.
Point being, the Boss 302 was never designed as a straight-line shooter-but don't be fooled. The engineers at Ford care greatly about acceleration. And while they secretly crave hardcore strip numbers from their Mustangs, they prefer to build all-around performance Stangs with a balance between cornering, acceleration, braking, and ride quality. Harrison and his team have masterfully crafted a fantastic engine that screams like an all-out racer, yet is docile and ready for the daily shuttle about town.
Drag racing can be raw, but it's extremely accessible, safe, often affordable, and a great way to enjoy your Mustang or fast Ford. You can't beat the instant gratification gained from seeing your results in a matter of seconds-especially after you make some mods. Throw a clutch and shifter into the mix and the driver becomes a direct link to the acceleration process, one that can make a difference when you're jammin' gears at 7,500 rpm!
Our task was to cover the 1,320 as quickly as possible, utilizing each of the 444 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. But before hitting the strip, we removed the exhaust baffles on each side. According to Ford, ditching the baffles does nothing for performance, but it does everything for the driver's ego. It's raspy growl is nothing short of magical.
Back behind the wheel, we were southbound on I-75 heading to Bradenton Motorsport Park in Florida for an open track night. The air was thick (89 degrees and 85-plus percent humidity) and there was a slight headwind, but we didn't care. BMP's staff prepped the track, while we traded the stock Goodyear rubber for our Mickey Thompson 275 ET Street Radials. Our anticipation was high as we all wondered what the Boss could do. Associate Editor Marc Christ handled the tire swap, while I set up the cooling fans and we also prepared our video gear.

Eagles in the salary cap playoffs with Jacksonville, KC & Bungles. Ozzie wins.
Once again the Ravens pull down another free agent showing their commitment to continue being a great team. The Eagles , on the other hand , have done some touch ups that have saved them money but havent made themselves any better than last season. This is the tale of two owners and teams that operate much differently. The Ravens are financially committed and emotionally invested. While the Eagles arent "all in" despite the tearful cries of Jeff Lurie and the " I feel your pain" speech. Now the GMs of the Eagles and Ravens are completely different. In Balto the Ravens have argueably the best GM in football in Ozzie Newsome while the Eagles have a whiney unproven bean counter in Howie. Doesnt look real impressive. Once again the whole season hinges on Vick putting his life on the line to try to make the Eagles win . But with the changes made I suspect it will be even harder for Vick to succeed. I think a repeat of last year may occur. It all rests on Vicks shoulders. As usual and like Mcnabb he has not been given anything substatial to work with.
The Eagles aren't "all in" this year because they don't have a team they can be all in with. I'm not sure why this isn't sinking in for you but the Eagles are a team in rebuild mode.
The Eagles aren't some playoff team that is looking for the last one or two pieces to get them over the hump. They are a team that went 4-12 last year. They have a new head coach, and new coordinators. They're going to have a new defensive scheme and new offensive plan.
They've let a bunch of people go from last years team and brought in almost an entirely new defense. It's pretty clear that they are moving in a new direction, actually I don't know how much clearer it can be.
To compare the Eagles to the Ravens is pointless. They are two teams that are in two completely different places. One just won the Superbowl! They just accomplished the goal, the Eagles are merely starting to build towards it.
It took John Harbaugh 5 season with the Ravens before he wont the Superbowl. While he was able to seemingly turn things around pretty fast for the Ravens (they went from 5-11 the season before he got there to 11-5 his first year), he also inherited one of the top defenses in the league, and drafted his franchise QB and HB his first draft. The team was also riddled with young talent drafted before he got there (Haloti Ngata, Jared Gaither, Le'Ron McClain, Marshal Yanda, Ben Grubbs), not to mention all the veterans that were there (Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs, etc...).
Chip Kelly is in no way walking into the same situation. The season before the Ravens went 5-11 they were 13-3 and won their division. Two season ago the Eagles struggled to be 8-8.
This Eagles team is no where close to being one or two guys away from turning things around. They need a new QB, help at the RG position, depth behind starters on the offensive line, an identity on defense. Coming into this season they needed to revamp the defensive line, find new starting CBs, new starting Safeties, and another decent LB. Some of those issues may have been answered to an extent but they are far from being ready to contend.
New coaches, new scheme, new players, new philosophy all equals new team. New teams generally aren't born playoff teams, they are built into them. Maybe Chip finds everything he needs in this draft, history says probably not. It's most likely going to take a few years of smart drafting, smart signings, and guys learning/buying into the system/philosophy before this team contends again. Could be just one season, my guess is more like 2-3.
Expecting the Eagles to be a contender this year is like betting on a fat guy to with the Boston Marathon. Set your expectations as high as you want though. Just remember you set the bar too high and you're only setting yourself up for disappointment.
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
It's funny to see the king of whining call someone else whiney. Bnugent81 is an intelligent guy, but he took too many words to simply tell you that you have no idea what you are writing about, stop whining, and to shut up.
Ha thanks for the nod EZ
idk why I waste so much time with holly sometimes. I guess I just hope that one day it'll sink in for him. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
ok simple. from a talent standpoint where have they gotten better?
Offensive line, defensive line, secondary, linebacker, safety, special teams, punter, possibly coaching, tight end, all of the rookies are a year older and they have improved team versatility.
They have only gotten year older. If you were to look at stats as you always do they have once again gone the cheap route. We will see but I dont think Cary williams and patrick chung are anywhere near as good as Nhamdi and DRC. Just my opinion. Nor do I think the fat goof from SF is any better than Patterson and jenkins. You will see what im talking about right out of the gate with this weak azz defense.
Chung is a safety..... anything is better than what DRC and Nnamdi did last season. They quit.
hollyweird you keep comparing the guys on the team now to guys who were on last years terrible defense. even IF this years defense is bad at least it won't cost us as much as last years bad defense.
I'm curious as to why you think nnamdi and drc were so great in philly?
I'll answer that for him, because I know he won't answer the question. He doesn't think that, but he enjoys getting a rise out of people. He makes outlandish comments like that all of the time like Beanie Wells is a top 5 running back. For a time he would bash McNabb only to become his biggest supporter on this site after the Eagles traded him. He's little more than a shock jock, but don't expect him to answer any questions, because there is no rhyme or reason for his comments other than to in some kind of strange way rip the Eagles despite the fact claiming to be a fan. This "fan" has praised every rival of the Eagles for how they operated business-wise despite the fact the Eagles were owning them every season. At that same time he was ripping the Eagles every chance he got. The guy has been on a Steward Bradley kick. He used to rip Bradley until the Eagles let him go. Now he goes on and on about how great the guy is despite the fact the guy isn't even a starter anymore. You can't really take him seriously, and the sad part is flip is becoming just like him.
Forget last year because everyone sucked and quit. But strictly from an athletic standpoint Nhamdi and DRc are better athletes than Chung and Williams. Im just looking at secondary EZ not position. Thats a fact and their respective salaries in the open market prove that they are more valuable. They dont call it free agency for nothing.
You have to look at positions because they are two completely different players, or are you that dense. And from an athletic standpoint NNamdi (notice how the same starts with 2 Ns and not an NH), and DRC haven't used any of it since they got to philly so what's the point. Not to mention you have no basis to say who is actually the better athlete.
as the market speaking to their value
Derek Cox - 4years/20million
cary willimas - 3years/17million
kyle arrington - 4year/16million
brent grimes - 1year/5.5million (injured last season!)
sean smith - 3years/18million
dunta robinson - 3years/15million
Nnamdi can make up to 3 million this season on his ONE year deal. That's ten million less then what he was slated to make in Philly. DRC got a ONE year "prove me you aren't washed up yet" contract. The only reason he got 5 million is because he's 27 and shouldn't be washed up. So their contracts do speak to their value. Nnamdi is old and declining, and DRC just doesn't seem to want to play.
In any case the Eagles are better without those guys than with them. DRC nor Nnamdi did nothing as Eagles that makes me feel like I will miss them or the Eagles made a mistake not trying to hang onto them. I don't care what they do with their new teams, because the bottom line is they didn't do it here.
exactly no point in rewarding poor play
so patterson and jenkins picked by a perrenial superbowl winner because they suck. Always an excuse . Always a cutdown on the way out. Nhamdi, DRC, Jenkins, Patterson will all do big things for there teams. But you suckers bite on all the dribble that comes from the fornt office.
I just wrote all this in another post there's links and everything all laid out nice and neat for ya. Bottom line is they were overpaid, that's why they were released. If they wanted to stay they would have redone their contracts.
As for DRC he's shown a lack of interest in football as the years go on and Chip Kelly doesn't want those types of players.
Bnuget81 my message is to Hollywood.
Nnamdi, DRC, Patterson and Jenkins will do big things. You mean like how you predicted McNabb to win a Super Bowl after leaving Andy Reid and Philly? How about how you predicted Bradley to be a beast after leaving Philly? Maybe it's how you predicted Beanie Wells to be on the the best backs in football. Maybe its how you have predicted every player who has left the Eagles to be greater with their new team. Notice how rarely that's happened? Stop predicting anything. You suck at it.
It really is no use with hollywood but I must admit I still debate with him. With me though it isn't trying to get him to understand actual reasoning and truth it's more to call him out on his BS claims (and believe me that's all most of them are). He just doesn't seem to care or get that most barkers can't take much he types seriously because he complains so much. An Eagle player he complains about will turn into a player they will miss once they release him or part ways somehow according to him. His opinion on players changes just as long as he can "bury" the FO. He will be complaining about the Eagles letting some of what he considers is a lackluster group of free agents (this year's) walk when they leave the team just so he has something to whine about.
Its not about letting them walk its about replacing them with qualified talent. This defense is gonn get azz phucked this year and they will blame Vick.
Don't you get that Vick should be blamed for how he has played? He wasn't the only problem but he was one of the biggest and he has been bad for over 2 years now. You sometimes can't hold onto bad contracts just because you may not have a replacement...every team has struggled to find replacements but if a high priced player hasn't gotten it done for years it's time to let him walk.
Ravens arent struggling
Not one word of bnugent's post on comparing a Super Bowl champion to a rebuilding team got through to that brain of yours, did it? I've seen others type crap that makes no sense on here, hollywood but you certainly have made a yardbarker career out of it.
I have a word for it its called an EXCUSE. Nobody rebuilds in the NFL. Every year since ive been in Balto Ray lewis only mentioned winning a superbowl now. Evry year that guy thought they should win. For some reason the bozos in Philly think its an Einstein algorithm winning a superbowl. Rebuild, add, one more weapon, next years draft...etc. All smoke screen for not spending. Same old Helen Keller Eagle dance.
What's funny is you expect the Eagles to win with a bunch of ragtag overpaid losers. They went nowhere last season with the same bunch of guys you are whining they got rid of. Do you know what you were doing when they actually played for the Eagles? You were whining. Seems like all you really want to do is whine.
We had a bad exprience with the wide 9 experiment and now they are treating us to another excuse called the 3-4. As far as winning with ragtag overpaid losers thats their fault for not doing the homework. But that still doesnt excuse them for the crap they put on the field during Mcnabbs years and bottom feeding with the Jaguars and chiefs. No excuse. They are a fraud. Simple . Helen Keller Eagle dance. $1,000. Where is your buddy astro
If he somehow gets his goofy dance launched he ought to call it the "hollywoodeagle".
This is a bonafide offer of $1,000. It must go viral. If it does and gets over 100,000 hits I will double the payment. It will be called the hollywood eagle - helen keller eagle dance. A dance with deaf , dumb and blind intergrated with Eagle green. I am dead serious.
Why do you enjoy embarrasing yourself so much? I get that no one on yardbarker will ever meet you but why spend so much time on a site just to be known as the site ****ass?
You spoend your time following EZ around astro and I sapend my time coming up with unique ideas. Think about it, for every bad play they make you cheer and go into a helen keller spastic dance. You make a positive out of a negative. Its fun. Who cares if they lose because if they lose you have fun with the dancing. Why be miserable folling these jokers. Have fun with it. Its no fun booing but it would be fun if the whole stadium rocked out on a bad play and went crazy spastic. You dont agree?
First of all, I've barely typed anything to Eazy lately and he hasn't had much to type to me but if it somehow makes you feel better about yourself by typing that I "follow" him around because we seem to agree on a few points including how we feel about a couple of "loud" barkers then knock yourself out.
As for your "dance", do you really have to ask what I think about it? If you honestly think it's a good idea and it has any chance to ever catch on then there is no hope for you. Calling for a boycott on a dying website (or any website) was bad enough...trying to "create" an idiotic, politically incorrect named dance on the same dying (or again any) website is just asinine. You really should just stop but knowing how you work I'm sure you won't.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- An Iowa City landlord admitted to police that he spied on at least four female tenants through peepholes he installed in their bathrooms, according to prosecutors.
District Associate Court Judge Stephen Gerard heard the case Tuesday against Elwyn G. Miller, 64, charged with 11 counts of invasion of privacy involving nudity based on allegations he spied on tenants from Aug. 1 to Oct. 31, 2012.
"I feel more violated because I trusted our landlord," said Saba Hafeez, one of eight current or former University of Iowa students who testified against Miller Tuesday.
Hafeez and her boyfriend, Tyson Sanchez, were living on the top floor of 639 S. Lucas St. in fall 2012.
Their neighbor, Linsie Mairet, called 911 on Oct. 31, 2012, when she heard movement in the ceiling while she was showering, she testified. Cotton balls she had stuck into a hole by her ceiling exhaust fan were gone. Mairet hopped out of the shower, threw on some clothes and looked out out into the apartment hallway, where she saw Miller coming down the ladder to the attic.
Iowa City Police Detective Andrew Rich went into the attic and found four identical holes into top-floor bathrooms, he testified. Rich could see paths in the attic insulation leading from the attic entrance to the holes.
Rich and Officer Kevin Bailey later questioned Miller about the holes. Hafeez overheard the conversation in the apartment hallway.
"They asked him if he had seen each of the girl tenants in the top floor shower," Hafeez said. "He said yes to each of them. I heard him admit to seeing me in the shower before."
Miller's attorney, Mark Brown, did not call any witnesses and declined a closing argument. But he asked Gerard to dismiss the charges against his client, saying Assistant Johnson County Attorney Anne Lahey failed to prove several elements of the invasion of privacy case.
"After hearing roughly 10 witnesses, we believe there is not one witness that came into this courtroom with any first-hand observation or knowledge of arousal of this defendant," Brown said.
He said Lahey must prove not only that Miller looked through the holes, but that the alleged victims were at least partially nude and that Miller did it for sexual gratification.
Lahey said Miller's interview with police, submitted to the court on DVD, proves the arousal. "On that tape, he says he likes to look at women, young women," Lahey said. "He saw an opportunity and took it."
Brown also grilled several witnesses about civil lawsuits they've filed against Miller.
"Why would you sue the defendant?" Brown asked Ruth Lapointe, who also lived on the top level of 639 S. Lucas St.
"I wanted something from him and that something has to be money," Lapointe said.
Her father, Joseph Lapointe, a Mason City attorney, has filed a lawsuit against Miller on behalf of his daughter and two other alleged victims.
A second lawsuit was filed by Jane Doe. The Lapointe trial is set for October 2014.
Miller waived his right to a jury trial Monday, so the case will be decided by Gerard. The judge accepted the evidence, including about 50 photographs and court precedents provided by Brown. Gerard did not say when he would rule on the case.
Invasion of privacy is a serious misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of $1,500.

Felon Sentenced To Prison For Illegally Possessing Handgun
PITTSBURGH, Pa. ‑ A resident of Pittsburgh, Pa., has been sentenced in federal court to 90 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, on his conviction of violating federal firearms laws and for violating his supervised release conditions from two prior federal firearms convictions, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
Chief United States District Judge Gary L. Lancaster imposed the sentence on March 4, 2011, on Michael Cheatom, 31.
According to information presented to the court, on May 20, 2009, Cheatom possessed a Walther Model P99AS, .40 caliber gun. Because Cheatom has previously been convicted of five felony offenses, he is prohibited under federal law from possessing a firearm.
Assistant United States Attorney Barbara K. Swartz prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
U.S. Attorney Hickton commended the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the City of Pittsburgh Police for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Michael Cheatom.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

Alright, I admit it. I not only don't cook very well, when I make the attempt, something always happens and it goes horribly awry.
However, as my late father used to love to say, my best quality is my worst quality. I'm very stubborn and will try again and again to figure something out.
My penchant for not giving in easily can work against me when it's time to leave a failed project, a dead relationship, a bad job. I tend to want to try every angle just to be sure.
There was even a moment when I worked for a furniture store when I found myself whispering over my cell phone in the ladies room to a friend to get me out of there.
It was as if I didn't get that I could just quit. Instead, I used to pray that I'd get fired by the screaming manager or the alcoholic boss, who gave 30 minute speeches and then remembered none of it later. Eventually, I figured out that much, at least, and it probably gives everyone a little insight on why I now work from home.
But even after four decades of cooking, I still haven't gotten to a place where any of it comes easily. Cooking still has more of a science experiment quality to it where I can never be sure if it will all come together nicely or blow up like a volcano. The odds are always more in my favor when it's something that has to be fried, but even then it's a little dicey.
Just ask my son, Louie, who would be happy to tell you about the chicken that was well done on the outside and still pink on the inside. There's a very nice couple, Nick and Amanda, who I've been having over for dinner lately, and every time, things just don't quite turn out. Every time I ask them back, I expect them to politely decline, and yet, there they are eager to try again.
Last time, I forgot a major ingredient out of the two main dishes and had to improvise. I always take that as a sign that my dinner conversation must be top-notch and worth the so-so food.
Last year, a date I had cooked for, tried to pay me a compliment and said I spooned things out of containers awfully well. After a moment, we both broke up laughing.
So, now I'm trying to raise the odds of my success, and received from Louie this Christmas a shiny, new, red Crock Pot. I'm attempting a chicken with mustard and artichoke hearts recipe I got from an editor and having over Louie and his girlfriend, Kathy, for dinner. Cross your fingers, or better yet, say a prayer.
OK, so I forgot to thaw the chicken and because of the snow storm raging through the Midwest, the grocery story was running low, so I have a mixture of legs and boneless breasts. Hopefully, everything will still turn out OK.
You see, optimism is one of the other causes of my stubborn streak and is probably what Dad meant about it being my best quality as well. I'm willing to believe the next time will be better, and because of that, there are times that I'm right. There are some very nice things in life that aren't achieved or sustained without a lot of tries, like getting published or being a good parent to a grown son.
My latest attempt at optimistic stubbornness is an interactive web site, www.marthasbigadventure.com, that has had me wondering if I bit off more than I could chew. There are 16 different experts and thousands of subscribers and it sometimes feels like I'm wrangling cats. Here's where all of my earlier practice at trying every angle actually pays off.
Many people might bail out when their first attempts don't work, but I've learned to take a step back, evaluate what has worked and ask for help from those who've gone before me down a particular path. I have learned how to use my innate quality as an asset whenever possible. I think Dad would be proud. Check out the new web site and let me know what you think. More adventures to follow.

Sabina Gadecki
When the World Poker Tour kicked off the taping of Season Five at the Mirage Poker Showdown, they surprised us with a new hostess, Sabina Gadecki. News about her appointment leaked just two days before the final table, and nobody knew anything about her. A Google search on her name yielded only six results.
Gadecki is now the third hostess in three years, following the departure of Courtney Friel. While Friel had a background as a TV news anchor and correspondent, Gadecki's background as a model/actress is closer to that of Shana Hiatt, the popular hostess from the first three seasons.
Bluff jumped at the chance to interview the lovely lady who will be guiding us through the WPT's fifth season, and formally introduce her to the poker world.
Sabina Gadecki was born and raised in Massachusetts, with Polish as her first language. "I have the most incredible family. A large, loving, loud Polish family — that plays poker on the weekends!"
Gadecki isn't a poker player herself, but loves learning new things. "The world of poker is so interesting to me. I want to take the time and learn all that I can about poker."
Gadecki has been pursuing an acting career since she first moved to New York three years ago. "I want more than anything to become a successful actress." She already has plenty of ad work to her credit, including an international Coca-Cola commercial and a Clearasil ad she finished just two weeks before her first WPT final table.
She missed one potential big break when the producers of the hit film Mean Girls turned her down because she looked "too innocent." To that, Gadecki says, "It's not the worst reason, I suppose." Even though she didn't get a part, she worked on the set as a stand-in for Rachel McAdams, and read lines with Lindsay Lohan. "It was a great learning experience."
But the 22-year-old Gadecki isn't relying solely on her good looks to get through life. In addition to studying International Business at Fordham University (with a minor in Communication), she attends acting classes at the prestigious William Esper Studios and studies dance at the Broadway Dance Center. She's also part of a dance company called T.A.D.A.H. — an acronym that stands for tap, acting, dance, and hip-hop. T.A.D.A.H. is led by choreographer Jared Grimes, who has worked with some of the biggest acts in the business, including Mya and Mariah Carey.
Most aspiring young actresses would view the WPT as nothing but a stepping stone to other things, hoping to parlay the exposure into a film career. But Sabina is very excited about this opportunity, and takes it seriously on its own terms. "This is my new job, not just a hosting job to me."
On the side, Gadecki works as a bartender. Will she keep mixing drinks now that she's working in television? "Probably," she says. "Why not? It's a trendy little spot in New York City, wonderful crowd, and I get to hang out with my friends all night."
Gadecki has a strong giving streak, raising money in the past for the American Cancer Society, the AIDS Foundation, the American Red Cross, and other charities. But the activity closest to her heart is collecting teddy bears and donating them to children's hospitals. Over the past eight years, she has delivered over 7,000 teddy bears, and she received the Presidential Student Service Award from President Bush in 2001. She plans to continue her charitable work as long as possible. "It is a lot of fun collecting the teddy bears, but the impact of delivering them to sick children will stay with me always."
Gadecki's biggest claim to fame, prior to the WPT, was winning the title "Miss Polonia World" back in 2002. Unlike a traditional beauty pageant, it's based on school grades, accomplishments, and community service. "Winning that title meant a great deal to me because of my Polish heritage, and has opened many doors to expanding my community service efforts."
After seeing Gadecki's headshot in the search for a new hostess, the WPT requested a demo tape. Gadecki's roommates took the lead in setting up an impromptu shoot in their apartment, allowing her to relax and have fun with the material. When they had finished, Gadecki went off script a bit and took control of the camera, filming her roommates as she thanked them for their help. When her agent saw the tape, he said, "They'll either think you're crazy, or they'll love it." The WPT must have loved it, because on the basis of that demo tape, Gadecki got the job.
Gadecki was actually on vacation when she received the call ("You got the job!"), and her trip was rerouted to Los Angeles, where the WPT is headquartered. At the time of her first final table, she had yet to return home since learning the news.
She's already had a few conflicts with her busy schedule. Gadecki missed her final exams at Fordham, but was able to reschedule them to a later date. They were less understanding at the acting studio, because she missed three straight classes in the week leading up to her first WPT episode. She had only a few weeks to go before completing her first year, and she was hoping to be invited back for a second. (It's a two-year program.) But if she missed one more class, she'd be out. Her all-important next class was scheduled for the day after her first final table.
On top of everything else, that's when she received a summons for jury duty back in New York. When it rains, it pours.
Gadecki made her debut at the Mirage Poker Showdown in mid-May. Her first WPT segment was recorded at night, out in front of the Mirage's famous erupting volcano. George, the producer of this episode, wanted to start her out in a low-stress environment, rather than taping something in the tournament area, where she would be swamped by curious poker players, fans, and media.
On the big day of the final table, Gadecki arrived early, volunteering to sit in and watch the players' WPT interviews. This isn't a requirement of the job; neither Shana nor Courtney ever did this. But Gadecki knew she'd be interviewing those same players when they busted out, and she wanted to get to know them ahead of time. "When speaking to players, I want to have their respect that I am someone who understands the game they love. Respect has to be earned, and I am going to do what it takes to earn respect in my new position."
After the interviews, Gadecki had her own call time for hair, makeup, and wardrobe, and she then made her way to the set for the 4:00 pm start.
With the show's introduction recorded the night before (at the volcano), Gadecki wasn't part of the opening ceremonies, and was able to absorb the experience for the first time, as a spectator. She watched from the sidelines as Steve Lipscomb presented the WPT Player of the Year award to Gavin Smith (who won this event the year before) in a short ceremony before the final table.
Then it was time for Gadecki's first player interview, with none other than Gavin Smith. It doesn't take much to get Smith talking, but it can take a lot to get him to stop. But Gadecki held her own with the larger-than-life player, and thought it was funny when he jokingly came on to her. With the wide variety of interesting characters in the poker world, a healthy sense of humor is a requirement.
With the pre-game ceremony and the preparations of a new set, the final table started about 45 minutes late. About half an hour into play, one of the cameras on the new set died, and there was another 25-minute delay while the crew rectified the situation. Gadecki stayed upbeat and bright-eyed during the delays, even as she pondered her 1:00am flight back to New York, and whether or not she'd make it to her acting class the next day.
The first player wasn't eliminated for another hour — Robert Mizrachi, brother to "The Grinder." She had barely finished talking to him when Steve Frederick was knocked out three hands later.
It took another two hours to lose David Williams, with Devin Porter departing an hour after that. With two players left (Harry Demetriou and Stan Weiss), it was time for Gadecki's first money presentation.
She was joined by five women in brightly-colored dresses who would be carrying the money to the final table. Gadecki would follow behind with the official WPT chip set to be awarded to the winner (she was surprised by the heft and the weight of the chip set). There was a quick walk-through rehearsal, but once the cameras started rolling, they got it in one take.
It was about 10:15pm, and she could still make her flight if the heads-up match was a quick one. It wasn't. Demetriou and Weiss played another 51 hands before Weiss hit a three-outer on the river to claim victory at 11:40pm.
Gadecki joined Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten down at the table for the end-of-show toast to the winner, and then cheerfully posed for photographs with the final two players.
With her official duties complete, Gadecki borrowed a laptop to search for alternate flights home. Her only option on the same airline would have her landing the next night, 90 minutes after her class started. But she found a seat on another airline that would put her in New York at 4:00pm for her 7:00pm class. Crisis averted — until the next final table (June 8th at the Mandalay Bay Poker Championship in Las Vegas).
There is one thing that hasn't been revealed to this point. It's the question that guys always want to ask, even though they never want to hear the answer. This is your last chance to stop reading, turn back, and continuing living in a world of self-deception. You've been warned.
Does Sabina Gadecki have a boyfriend? Yes.

Want to know about the showers at basic training?
An often undiscussed fear of recruits going to basic training are the showers. You will have to take a group shower, it will most likely be timed by your Drill Sergeant, and no, no one cares what you look like naked.
In fact, just to prove to you that getting naked is no big deal, I am going to do the rest of this video with my pants off.
Honestly folks this is a touchy subject for many of you and if you're really worried about it, simply go to a gym or YMCA and take some showers there to get used to showering with others. Another option would be to commit a felony, get thrown in prison and learn to take a shower with other prisoners. I guarantee you; you will get much more attention in a prison showers than in a military shower. Don't drop your soap though.
But I will tell you from experience, from someone who has been through basic and talked to hundreds of recruits who have completed basic training, no one cares what you look like naked. In fact, recruits won't even look, they are too busy trying to get their muddy body clean in the short time they have to shower anyway.
Some recruits try to skip the shower and use a wet washcloth to clean their body. Believe me; this will only attract more attention to you.
Think of it on the bright side, taking group showers saves water which is great for the environment.
Oooh a penny.

As an industry leader, Chicago Music Exchange is often referenced and recognized by the press when it comes to gear news and vintage guitars. With the most knowledgeable vintage experts in the industry, we are a regular go-to source when it comes to vintage gear and the ongoing movement to allow musicians to buy, sell and trade gear at fair prices.
Chicago Music Exchange also has the most beautiful guitar showroom in the world which attracts local musicians, vintage collectors along with many of the biggest rock stars in the world. You never know who might be stopping by. Between having the growing startup Reverb.com right next-door and regular celebrity sightings, almost every day is a newsworthy event.
"Chicago Music Exchange already was a magnet for guitar collectors, wannabe rock stars and actual rock stars when David Kalt bought the Lakeview shop in 2010 from founder Scott Silver.
But Mr. Kalt, who co-founded OptionsXpress Holdings Inc. in 2000, managed to make the pull of the storied shop even stronger by uploading YouTube videos that showcased his musician-employees riffing on his merchandise. A 12-minute clip of salesman Alex Chadwick playing 100 famous guitar riffs in one take went viral in 2012, attracting more than 9 million views to date."
There's a social media powerhouse on North Lincoln Avenue in Chicago. On the outside, Chicago Music Exchange — a retailer of new, used and vintage music equipment — appears to be a relatively unassuming store on a well-trafficked street with some pretty cool guitars in its window. Nothing about its facade would suggest that it's the gold standard of social media marketing for independent businesses.
Bass players are treated like the middle children of rock music, feeling ignored while their siblings get all of the attention. As a result, bass guitars and gear often get little more than a tiny corner of a guitar shop staffed by people with only a cursory knowledge of all things bass.
Search "guitar riffs" on YouTube, and you'll find a muscular dude in a Chicago Music Exchange T-shirt plowing through 100 of the most recognizable licks in rock 'n' roll history. In one take, Alex Chadwick, 29, works seamlessly from the 1954 classic "Mr. Sandman" all the way to St. Vincent's 2011 hit "Cruel." It's transfixing, virtuosic, an exercise in tip-of-the-tongue recognition.
The mix of gear is already supported strongly by , a website Kalt launched in January 2013, where musicians and dealers can buy, sell, or trade used gear. At press time, the site had done about $1.2 million on 3,500 transactions. With Reverb only taking 3.5 percent of each transaction, Kalt said that the goal of the site is to remove the price friction that exists in such platforms as Amazon and eBay.
David Kalt has always loved guitars. As owner of the iconic store Chicago Music Exchange, he's surrounded by guitars all day. Recently, Kalt combined his two biggest passions, music and technology, and founded Reverb.com, an online marketplace for musicians.
Stage shows come and they go, and as many of the productions that wind their way through Chicago, cast members may or may not find the time to explore all that the city has to offer. For those who venture forth on their days off, there is much to discover.
Chicago Music Exchange wants to take bass players out of the corner.
The guitar shop — well-known for being a stop for bands passing through town — plans to dedicate its basement to basses by the end of the summer, including doubling its selection.
David Kalt left OptionsXpress Holdings Inc. and bought a guitar store. For a hotshot fin-tech entrepreneur, that was tantamount to retirement—and, in fact, Mr. Kalt sometimes brings his dog to work or takes breaks to play the $400,000 vintage Les Paul electric guitar sitting a few feet from his desk.
Nowadays, every company must be a social company. But what does an effective social-marketing campaign really look like? Crain's asked readers to nominate the Chicago companies they think are doing the best job of using social media to communicate with customers, promote products and services, and find new audiences. Among the scores of ideas that came our way, these social media campaigns emerged as among the very best.
Instead of top line growth, Chicago Music Exchange's new owner David Kalt is looking to deliver an outsized expeerience for customers and a meaningful career for employees.
Chicago Music Exchange Owner David Kalt discusses investments in musical instruments. He speaks with Deirdre Bolton on Bloomberg Television's "Money Moves."
Our David Kalt discusses the Fender IPO and vintage Fender guitars - "I think the appreciation of a rare instrument from the '60s that will never be created again, has a certain vibe, and a special uniqueness to it will appreciate probably 8-12% a year".
No matter what the price, Mr. Kalt says, "you always want to buy guitars in excellent or good condition with all original parts. Modifications or refinished bodies can dramatically impact the price and resale value." And, as important as buying the right guitar may be, the real issue for collectors is often storage: If the instruments aren't kept in the ideal humidity-controlled environment, they can easily deteriorate.
David Kalt, former CEO of OptionsXpress, discusses the ins and outs of investing in rare, vintage guitars. "When investing in vintage guitars look for reputable dealers because there are issues with counterfeit items." "Store your guitar properly, lack of humidty can cause damage." "Get insurance on your guitar."
Do great guitars ever go out of style? No — but prices tend to fall in hard times. And that's just what happened to prices of vintage guitars — which might make them a good buy now. Vintage Guitar magazine created an annual index based on the sales prices of 42 vintage axes. As of last October, the index was at $750,800, 23% below its peak in 2007. David Kalt, founder of OptionsXpress and now owner of the Chicago Music Exchange, thinks you can find some good deals in vintage guitars, although the very best can come with steep prices. For example, the iconic 1952 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top sells for $23,000 to $26,000.
David Kalt, owner of Chicago Music Exchange, which sells, among other things, new and vintage guitars. He was previously a founder of the online broker optionsXpress. "The government isn't necessarily enabling better access to capital for small businesses," says Kalt. However, he adds, "I don't think they should make it harder for banks and financiers to run their business." His suggestion: Creating a system of financial incentives to motivate lenders to make more loans to small businesses...
I met David Kalt on the sailboat docks at Belmont Harbor in the Summer of 2001. I remember it because he mentioned he had recently started a company called OptionsXpress.com and I had recently taken over as vice president of marketing for the now defunct financial data feed company, Hyperfeed Technologies. We supplied option price data to OptionsXpress.com They were an important client mostly because in the months following 9/11 they seemed to be the only company that was growing and paying their bills on time.
When David Kalt graduated from the University of Michigan in 1989, he followed his dream of working in the music business by taking a job at a Chi-cago recording studio. He burned out after only two years. "The glamour of working with rock stars and rock star wannabes gets old real quick when you're working 100 hours a week,"...
The staff of CME didn't have to go hunting to bag this beast. "This was acquired in one of those incredible moments when a random person walked into a guitar show with a large and odd case. We bought it off of him without knowing any details of its rarity."
Professional and amateur guitarists alike know that the place to go for an incomparable instrument is the Chicago Music Exchange. Guitars possess seductive powers. Maybe it's their curves. Maybe it's their dazzling array of colors. Perhaps it's their long, graceful necks. Whatever it is, they beckon to lovers, who become helplessly entranced and hopelessly smitten.
David Kalt sees his Roscoe Village retail guitar center as more an art gallery than a store."(The store) literally is 20 years of slaving to get these guitars, so it really has become an institution because of that," said Kalt, owner and chief executive of The Chicago Music Exchange on Lincoln Avenue. "I'm sort of like the curator. I just want to keep it alive."
Here's some market insight: you might find a great buy this season in vintage guitars. According to "The 42 Guitar Index" put out each October by Vintage Guitar Magazine, American-made collectable guitars have taken a beating. The index, which is the total value of 42 guitars from three top brands, is at $750,800. That's 23% off its October 2007 peak of $976,200. (The S&P 500 is down about 20%.)...
Chicago Music Exchange, located in the Lakeview neighborhood, has gained a national reputation for a used and vintage guitar selection that rivals even the big-boxes. According to owner David Kalt, his company has struck the ultimate balance of selection and service...
This place is truly Guitar Nirvana! Visiting CME is a not-to-be missed experience for the guitar aficionado. It boasts a staggering collection of the very finest vintage guitars as well as new and used instruments, and stands as one of the most impressive operations of its kind in the world. For almost 20 years...
Premier Guitar readers have spoken! Chicago Music Exchange is being featured among the "20 Coolest Guitar Shops in the US" as voted by PG readers (in no particular order).
Somewhere between ogling the eye-candy, and digging into some fine guitars musical instruments, ABC's 190 North crew took the opportunity to talk to the staff about the store, and the most important things about getting into your next instrument. We also may have reenacted some classic movie scenes while we were at it.
Chicago Music Exchange owner David Kalt and store manager George Coutretsis stopped by the WGNTV studio in Chicago to talk with Midday Fix about "How to Buy a Guitar." See the video segment and read the story by clicking the link below.
David Kalt was a successful serial entrepreneur before the age of 40. He sold his first company, a software maker for the travel industry called Third Party Solutions, in 1999 and took his second business, online options brokerage optionsXpress, public in 2005 with a market cap of more than $1 billion...
A strange sort of masochism seems to drive broke-ass musicians to take two buses and a train across town just to stew in unrequited gear lust at Chicago Music Exchange, where most...

Wierd! I was really expecting it to. I am HIGHLY interested in the exact
wording vi gave you when you tried to run vi with TERM set to linux. I
guess that means Cygwin's terminfo doesn't support the "linux" terminal.
Considering what Cygwin is, perhaps that does make sense. Dunno.

Yeah, sorry bout that. I was going to suggest that too. Then I got side
tracked by writing about csh and forgot to mention it. I'm still kind of
shocked that vi didn't recognize the linux terminal.

The Crimson is one of the few college newspapers in the U.S. that owns its own printing presses. At the beginning of 2004 The Crimson began publishing with a full-color front and back page, in conjunction with the launch of a major redesign. The Crimson also prints several other publications on its presses.
Many undergraduate editors call The Crimson "The Crime," a 1950s nickname that has gained currency in recent years.
The Crimson has a rivalry with the Harvard Lampoon, which it refers to in print as a "semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine. The two organizations occupy buildings within less than one block of each other; interaction between their staff has included pranks, vandalism, and even romance.
Crimson alumni include Presidents John F. Kennedy of the Class of 1940 (who served as a business editor) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (who served as president of the newspaper), Class of 1904. Writer Cleveland Amory was president of The Crimson; when Katharine Hepburn's mother asked him what he planned to do after college, he says he replied teasingly that "once you had been president of The Harvard Crimson in your senior year at Harvard there was very little, in after life, for you.
Currently, The Crimson publishes three weekly pullout sections in addition to its regular daily paper: A Sports section on Mondays, a magazine called Fifteen Minutes on Thursdays, and an Arts section on Fridays.
The Crimson is a nonprofit organization that is independent of the university. All decisions on the content and day-to-day operations of the newspaper are made by undergraduates. The student leaders of the newspaper employ several non-student staff, many of whom have stayed on for many years and have come to be thought of as family members by the students who run the paper.
The Crimson traces its origin to the first issue of The Magenta, published January 24, 1873 despite strong discouragement from the Dean. The faculty of the College had suspended the existence of several previous student newspapers, including the Collegian, whose motto "Dulce et Periculum" ("sweet and dangerous") represented the precarious place of the student press at Harvard University in the late nineteenth century. The Magenta's editors, undeterred, politely declined Dean Burney's advice and moved forward with a biweekly paper, "a thin layer of editorial content surrounded by an even thinner wrapper of advertising."
The paper changed its name to The Crimson in 1875 when Harvard changed its official color by a vote of the student body—the announcement came with a full-page editorial announcing, "Magenta is not now, and ... never has been, the right color of Harvard." This particular issue, May 21, 1875, also included several reports on athletic events, a concert review, and a call for local shopkeepers to stock the exact shade of crimson ribbon, to avoid "startling variations in the colors worn by Harvard men at the races."
The Crimson included more substance in the 1880s, as the paper's editors were more eager to engage in a quality of journalism like that of muckraking big-city newspapers; it was at this time that the paper moved first from a biweekly to a weekly, and then to a daily in 1883.
The 1930s and 1940s were dark years for The Crimson; reduced financial resources and competition from a publication established by ex-editors meant serious challenges to the paper's viability. In 1943, the banner on the paper read Harvard Service News and the stories focused almost exclusively on Harvard's contribution to the war effort. Under the authority of so-called wartime administrative necessity, alumni discouraged the Service News from editorializing. The paper was administered during the war by a board of University administrators, alumni, and students. [citation needed]
In 1934 the Crimson defended a proposal by Hitler's press secretary, Ernst F. Sedgwick Hanfstaengl to donate to Harvard a prize scholarship to enable a Harvard student to attend a Nazi university. The Harvard Corporation voted unanimously to refuse the offer, "We are unwilling to accept a gift from one who has been so closely identified with the leadership of a political party which has inflicted damage on the universities of Germany through measures which have struck at principles we believe to be fundamental to universities throughout the world." The Crimson defended it, "That political theories should prevent a Harvard student from enjoying an opportunity for research in one of the world's greatest cultural centers is most unfortunate and scarcely in line with the liberal traditions of which Harvard is pardonably proud."
The paper went back to its civilian version in 1946, and as the Army and Navy moved out of Harvard, The Crimson grew larger, more financially secure, more diversified, and more aware of the world outside the campus during the early Cold War era than its pre-WWII predecessor had been.
The paper, although financially independent and independent of editorial control by the Harvard University administration, was under the University's administrative control insofar as it was composed of university students who were subject to the university's rules. Radcliffe women on staff were forced to follow curfews to which Harvard men were not subject, and that interfered greatly with the late hours required in producing a newspaper. Throughout the 1950s, The Crimson and various university officials exchanged letters debating these restrictions. Crimson editors pushed for later curfews for their female writers, who grew increasingly important in day-to-day operations. Under president Phillip Cronin '53, women became staff members rather than Radcliffe correspondents.
Crimson writers were involved in national issues, especially when anti-communist investigative committees came to Harvard. Future Pulitzer prize-winning writer Anthony Lukas' stories (most notably, an interview with HUAC witness Wendell Furry) were sometimes picked up by the Associated Press. Not even a staff writer yet, Lukas had arrived at the university with Joseph McCarthy's home number in his pocket. His father was an opponent of McCarthy's and a member of the American Jewish Committee, the group that produced Commentary magazine.
In 1991, student reporters for The Crimson were the first to break the news that Harvard had selected former Princeton Provost Neil Leon Rudenstine to succeed Derek Bok as President of the university. The reporters, who had learned of a secret meeting in New York, got their confirmation when they approached a surprised Rudenstine on his plane ride back to Boston. The story appeared in an extra bearing the dateline "SOMEWHERE OVER NEW ENGLAND." Resourceful Crimson editors repeated the scoop in 2001, beating out national media outlets to report that Lawrence Summers would succeed Rudenstine, and again in 2007, being the first to report Drew Gilpin Faust's ascension to the presidency.
Throughout the 1990s, there was a great deal of focus on making the staff of the paper more inclusive and diverse. Over time, a diversity committee and a financial aid fund were both instituted to try to correct this problem. Today, some 50 editors participate in the financial aid program.
On January 12, 2004, The Crimson printed its first color edition after obtaining and installing new Goss Community color presses. The date also marked the unveiling of a major redesign of the paper itself.
In 2004, The Crimson filed a lawsuit against Harvard University to force the Harvard University Police Department to release more complete records to the public. The case was heard before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in November 2005. In January 2006, the court decided the case in favor of the University.
In November 2005, the Crimson had its records subpoenaed by ConnectU, a firm suing Facebook.com, its better known competitor. The Crimson is currently challenging the subpoena, and it has said that it will not comply with ConnectU's demands for documents.
On April 23, 2006, after having received an anonymous tip, The Crimson broke the story of plagiarism allegations surrounding Harvard student Kaavya Viswanathan and her recently published book, How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life.
