The deed of gift for the materials was signed in January 2010, and they were transferred to the William H. Hannon Library from University Hall, on 25 February 2011. Administrative History Century Communications Corporation, a major provider of cable television services, was founded by Leonard Tow in 1973. Century Communication's first acquisition was four lagging cable TV markets in California, which were owned by Cablecom General. During the late 1980s, the company acquired new markets and improved its existing operations. Its cable subscribership ballooned to 721 million in 1988 as company revenues soared past $160 million. Century's regional subsidiary in Southern California was named Century Cable Southwest. Century Cable Southwest produced hundreds of public affairs programs for its cable access channels. As senior vice president of Century Cable, a show producer, and on-air host, Bill Rosendahl was a major driving force behind the development of these programs. In 1999, Adelphia Communications Corporation purchased Century, acquiring Century’s assets, including its local cable access programming. John Rigas established The Adelphia Communications Corporation in 1952. Before filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in 2002, Adelphia was one of the largest cable television providers in the United States. Adelphia Communications Corporation also provided services in high-speed internet access, long distance telephone service, and home security. The company’s headquarters were located in Coudersport, Pennsylvania. Its cable operations were located in 31 states, with significant clusters in Los Angeles, New England, Western New York, West Palm Beach, Cleveland, Western Pennsylvania, Northern Virginia and Colorado Springs. Despite becoming a public firm in 1986, the company remained a family-run business. Founder John Rigas was the CEO and chairman of the board. His sons, Tim (CFO), Michael (VP of Operations), and James (VP of Strategic Planning), solidified the family stronghold within the company. In May 2002, Adelphia disclosed that federal grand juries from New York and central Pennsylvania were probing into the company's finances. Adelphia also released details showing that the Rigas family used the company’s assets for personal use. The company filed for bankruptcy in June 2002. In July 2002, John, Michael, and Timothy Rigas were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and bank fraud. In 2005, the majority of Adelphia’s assets were acquired by Time Warner Cable and Comcast. The company officially dissolved after an auction sold off Adelphia's remaining assets on July 31, 2006. In the Southern California region, Adelphia Communications Corporation purchased Century Southwest Cable, a regional operator of Century Communications in 1999. With this purchase, Adelphia Communications became the largest cable provider in the Los Angeles area. The regional offices of Adelphia operated out of Santa Monica and produced thousands of public cable access television programs, primarily focused on local public affairs coverage. Bill Rosendahl also joined Adelphia as regional vice president in 1999. Rosendahl was a mainstay in Adelphia's cable access public affairs programming from 1999 to 2003. In 2001, Rosendahl's position has reshuffled to director of the firm’s political affairs. His heightened success on-screen and in the producer’s seat made it difficult to manage Adelphia's services in Southern California. Adelphia and Rosendahl offered a high level of professionalism to public affairs programming. Rosendahl's election specials and interviews with policy makers filled an important gap in broadcast journalism in Los Angeles by featuring in-depth coverage of local and state campaigns that was virtually non-existent on commercial outlets. He strove to use television as a means to foster greater participation in the electoral process. Biography Bill Rosendahl, Regional Vice President of Adelphia, television program producer, and donor of this collection, was born in 1945 and raised in Englewood, New Jersey. Rosendahl became active in politics as a student in the 1960s involved in the civil rights movement. As a graduate student, Rosendahl took a leave of absence from his studies to work for the 1968 presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter brought Rosendahl into his administration to be chief of operations in the trade and development program. When Carter was defeated by Ronald Reagan in 1980, Rosendahl relocated to Los Angeles and entered broadcasting. Before signing on with Century Cable, Rosendahl worked for Westinghouse Broadcasting Company. Rosendahl began hosting and producing public affairs televisions shows in December 1987 for Century Cable Southwest’s cable access channel in Los Angeles. Rosendahl also served as Chief Operating Officer and as Vice President of Corporate Affairs for the system's parent company, Century Communications Corporation. AV001 3 When Century was purchased by Adelphia in 1999, Rosendahl remained a cable executive and television journalist. He became vice president of operations for Adelphia Communication Corporation’s Southern California region and continued to produce and moderate a number of public affairs television shows. His television show “Week in Review” became a staple in the lineups at Century and Adelphia. Some of the other shows that he hosted included "Beyond the Beltway," "Local Talk," "The God Squad," "Mideast Perspective," and "Personal Best." During his 16 years in cable, he produced over 3,000 programs. Rosendahl was honored with numerous awards, including a Cable Ace Award, The Diamond Award, the Freedom of Information Award, the Los Angeles League of Women Voters Public Service Award and the Beacon Award for Cable's Free Air Time Project. In 2005, Rosendahl was elected to the Los Angeles City Council, representing the 11th District, which includes the communities of Brentwood,

  • Identitarian Movement
    Identitarian movement The identitarian movement (otherwise known as Identitarianism) is a European and North American[2][3][4][5] white nationalist[5][6][7] movement originating in France. The identitarians began as a youth movement deriving from the French Nouvelle Droite (New Right) Génération Identitaire and the anti-Zionist and National Bolshevik Unité Radicale. Although initially the youth wing of the anti- immigration and nativist Bloc Identitaire, it has taken on its own identity and is largely classified as a separate entity altogether.[8] The movement is a part of the counter-jihad movement,[9] with many in it believing in the white genocide conspiracy theory.[10][11] It also supports the concept of a "Europe of 100 flags".[12] The movement has also been described as being a part of the global alt-right.[13][14][15] Lambda, the symbol of the Identitarian movement; intended to commemorate the Battle of Thermopylae[1] Contents Geography In Europe In North America Links to violence and neo-Nazism References Further reading External links Geography In Europe The main Identitarian youth movement is Génération identitaire in France, a youth wing of the Bloc identitaire party.

  • 2019 Small Business Scorecard
    2019 SMALL BUSINESS SCORECARD Introduction Elected officials everywhere tout their support of small businesses, but do they actually deliver? California is home to 4 million small and micro businesses, represented by 79 Assembly Members and 40 California State Senators. We decided to find out by looking at the voting records of California’s legislators when it comes to bills that affect the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the small businesses that it serves. CAMEO’s policy positions derive from our work with our 240+ members that support underserved small business with loans and entrepreneurial training. We weigh in on legislation that will help these small and microbusinesses and strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This first-ever scorecard for the 2019 legislative session looks at how the California Legislature performed in authoring, voting, and passing laws to promote and protect the interests of Calfiornia’s small and micro business owners. We compiled a narrow list of bills for the 2019 legislative session that we identified as important for micro and small businesses and/or the ecosystem that supports them. C A M E O N E T W O R K . O R G Examples include: AB 230 ensures Disabled Veterans Businesses are treated fairly in state contracts; AB 377 expands the cottage kitchen laws to include home cooked meals; AB 498 eliminates business license fees for veteran owned businesses; AB 857 will create a framework for public banking in California and expand community capital for locally owned businesses. We included committee votes, floor votes, authorships, co-sponsors and measured if a legislator voted in favor or against, as well as the No Vote Record (NVR).

  • When Hate Speech Leads to Hateful Actions: a Corpus and Discourse Analytic Approach to Linguistic Threat Assessment of Hate Speech
    WHEN HATE SPEECH LEADS TO HATEFUL ACTIONS: A CORPUS AND DISCOURSE ANALYTIC APPROACH TO LINGUISTIC THREAT ASSESSMENT OF HATE SPEECH A Dissertation submitted to the FaCulty of the Graduate SChool of Arts and SCiences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in LinguistiCs By Alexandria Marsters, M.S. Washington, DC April 1, 2019 Copyright 2019 Alexandria Marsters All Rights Reserved ii WHEN HATE SPEECH LEADS TO HATEFUL ACTIONS: A CORPUS AND DISCOURSE ANALYTIC APPROACH TO LINGUISTIC THREAT ASSESSMENT OF HATE SPEECH Alexandria Marsters, M.S. Thesis Advisor: Natalie SChilling, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Inspired by reCent aCts of mass violence motivated by hate, this work considers hate speeCh from a sociolinguistiC perspeCtive by combining corpus analysis and disCourse analytiC methods. The goals of this work are twofold. First, this research aims to propose a comprehensive definition of hate speeCh by leveraging the linguistiC body of knowledge in conjunction with insights from legal sCholarship, cross-disCiplinary aCademiC work, lexiCography, and non-aCademiC perspeCtives colleCted through a two-part survey. This work then employs the definition of hate speeCh that is developed to build two corpora of hate speeCh, one authored by those who went on to commit violence and the other by those who did not, called “Hunters” and “Howlers” respeCtively aCCording to the threat assessment paradigm of Calhoun and Weston (2009; 2012). These data are used to address the seCond goal – to enriCh future threat assessment protocols by identifying language patterns whiCh correlate with violent behavior by the authors of hate speeCh.
