CLUB NEWS Second posting: Amalia Vincent has been proposed for membership in our club. If you have any questions regarding her membership please speak to President Bettina. Our annual Fish and Shrimp Fry, at Schlitterbahn, is only 8 days away. Sponsor support has been good. The long range AccuWeather forecast is predicting a sunny day with temperatures in the 70's for February 18...good news! In an effort to boost our profit this year, we are expanding our raffle to include items solicited from local businesses, generous donors and maybe even your attic (Good stuff only, PLEASE) in addition to the bottle of wine we each donate every year. You will need a Solicitation Information sheet to give to donors and a Raffle Data sheet to document the items donated, the value of each item donated, and the name of the donor/business, for use at the drawings. (Both have been e-mailed to you by Lonnie) All donated items and data sheets should be collected and turned in no later than Wednesday of next week. During the Fish Fry, drawings will be held every 15 minutes between noon and 1:45 pm. We will need help at the point of (ticket) sale, help with a display table and transporting items to the drawing site on time. Additionally, we’ll need help spotting people in the crowd holding winning tickets, delivering the items to them and verifying their tickets. WE NEED YOUR HELP AND COOPERATION! The more items we have to raffle, the more our guests will be inclined to purchase tickets, believing the odds are in their favor...so it is imperative we obtain as many donations as possible. Please study the list of potential donors and sign up to visit as many as you can in the next five days. Thanks for all you do. PICTURE of the WEEK PROGRAM AND EVENTS CALENDAR CELEBRATIONS FEBRUARY ANNIVERSARIES 17 - Jim Enholm None 18 - Fish & Shrimp Fry, 11am-2pm, Schlitterbahn 23 - Club Social, 5:30pm, Isla Grand BIRTHDAYS 24 - Jim Enholm 4 - Carolyn Cardile MARCH 6 - Ralph Ayers 2 - Board Mtg., Noon, Marcello’s Today, 1893 - Jimmy Durante 3 - Albert Perez “Good night Mrs. Calabash.” 10 - Jeff Hughes THOUGHT for the DAY: You know you’re getting old when going out is good...but coming home is better! JOKE of the WEEK: Phil, a smart and handsome young man, dressed in the latest fashion, walked into the local bar after work and noticed a beautiful young woman gazing at him without blinking her big eyes. Phil felt flattered so he walked up to the woman and said in his deepest voice, “I'll do anything you wish, beautiful lady, for just $10 but on one condition.” The woman appeared to be trapped in the moment and asked as if in a trance, “What's your condition?” Phil answered, “Tell me your wish in just three words.” There was a long pause, the woman opened her purse, counted out the money and handed it to the man along with her address. She then looked deeply into his eyes and whispered, “Clean my house.” QUOTE for the DAY: “Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” - George Bernard Shaw STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW Feb. 10, 1897: The New York Times began using slogan "All the News That's Fit to Print." One of the country’s premier newspapers, it was founded on September 18, 1851 and has continuously published in New York City ever since. It sold for one penny (equivalent to 29 cents today) The NYT has won 117 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other news organization. Diehard New Yorker’s swear by it while many others around the country today swear at it. Regardless of how you feel, it is undeniably one of the great publications in the United states with the 2nd largest circulation behind the Wall Street Journal. On September 14, 1987, the Times printed the heaviest ever newspaper, at over 12 pounds. It was one of the last newspapers to adopt color photography, especially on the front page. Believe it or not, its founder, journalist and politician Henry Jarvis Raymond (1820–69), was a Whig Party member and later second chairman of the newly organized Republican Party National Committee. The inaugural edition attempted to address speculations on its purpose and positions with the following: “We shall be Conservative, in all cases where we think Conservatism essential to the public good;—and we shall be Radical in everything which may seem to us to require radical treatment and radical reform. We do not believe that everything in Society is either exactly right or exactly wrong;—what is good we desire to preserve and improve;—what is evil, to exterminate, or reform.” Over time, it acquired a reputation for even-handedness and accurate modern reporting. However, a 2007 Rasmussen survey reported that 40% of the public saw the paper as having a liberal slant, 20% no political slant and only 11% believed it has a conservative slant. Editor Margaret Sullivan responded, "It's a modified yes with a lot of nuance in it" when asked whether or not The Times has a liberal bias. Only two of its Op-Ed page editors claim conservative credentials while seven opinionated columnists are proudly liberal. The New York Times has not endorsed a Republican for president since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. Since that year it has endorsed every Democratic nominee. In the past 50 years, the Times has frequently been accused of failure to report many major issues, printing “News” articles promoting advertisers, Plagiarism, printing quotes out of context and much more. While it remains one of the few papers that still prints the full text of many political speeches, it seems to many that instead of printing "All the News That's Fit to Print," it now looks for all the fits that are news to print. One wag was quoted saying, “I no longer read the Times because I don’t read fiction.” You decide! (It ain’t one penny anymore. It’s $2.50 daily, $5.00 on Sunday) USELESS FACT OF THE DAY: Men spend almost twice as much on Valentine’s Day as women. This year, the average man will spend $156, while the average woman will only spend $85. More than one-third of men would prefer not receiving a gift. Less than 20% of women feel that way. Around Valentines Day, condom sales are 20 -30% higher than usual and more at-home pregnancy tests are sold in March than any other month. (It next Tuesday - don’t forget) ROTARY SERVING HUMANITY MINUTE (Reprinted from THE ROTARIAN, February 2017) The Rotary club of Vacoas, in the Indian Ocean island nation of Mauritius, celebrated its silver jubilee with a burst of activity - six events in one week in May 2016. The ambitious schedule kicked off with a “Mega Health Day” in which more than 600 people in the village of St. Pierre received free health screenings and consultations. The following days included parties and community service activities. The festivities were coordinated to get the “population of the island to notice projects carried out by Rotary,” says Nishta Jooty, president-elect of the club. She adds that at least 20 club members lent a hand at each event. “Everybody participated in each project with their heart and passion.” (Mauritius is the most densely populated country in Africa with 614 people per square kilometer. It is a model of true democracy for every African country. It's also one of Africa’s great destinations, located in the middle of the turquoise Indian Ocean, 705 miles east of Madagascar, 2,264 miles north east of South Africa. It is known for its beaches, lagoons and reefs and mountainous interior. - Ed.).

  • Abstract a Case Study of Cross-Ownership Waivers
    ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY OF CROSS-OWNERSHIP WAIVERS: FRAMING NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF RUPERT MURDOCH’S REQUESTS TO KEEP THE NEW YORK POST by Rachel L. Seeman Media ownership is an important regulatory issue that is enforced by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC, Congress, court and public interest groups share varying viewpoints concerning what the ownership limits should be and whether companies should be granted a waiver to be excused from the rules. News Corporation is one media firm that has a history of seeking these waivers, particularly for the New York Post and television stations in same community. This study conducted a qualitative framing analysis of news articles from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal to determine if the viewpoints expressed by the editorial boards were reflected in reports on News Corp.’s attempt to receive cross-ownership waivers. The analysis uncovered ten frames the newspapers used to assist in reporting the events and found that 80% of these frames did parallel the positions the paper’s editorial boards took concerning ownership waivers.

The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three witnesses, representing the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Municipal Art Society, and the Historic Districts Council , spoke in favor of the designation. The hearing was re-opened on February 23 , 1999 for additional testimony from the owner, Pace University. Two representatives of Pace spoke, indicating that the university was not opposed to designation and looked forward to working with the Commission staff in regard to future plans for the building. The Commission has also received letters from Dr. Sarah Bradford Landau and Robert A.M. Stern in support of designation. This item had previously been heard for designation as an individual Landmark in 1966 (LP-0550) and in 1980 as part of the proposed Civic Center Hi storic District (LP-1125). Summary This sixteen-story office building, constructed as the home of the New York Times , is one of the last survivors of Newspaper Row, the center of newspaper publishing in New York City from the 1830s to the 1920s.

  • The New York Times Paywall
    9-512-077 R E V : JANUARY 31, 2013 VINEET KUMAR BHARAT ANAND SUNIL GUPTA FELIX OBERHOLZER - GEE The New York Times Paywall Every newspaper in the country is paying close, close attention [to the Times paywall], wondering if they can get readers of online news to pay. Is that the future, or a desperate attempt to recreate the past?. Will paywalls work for newspapers? — Tom Ashbrook, host of On Point, National Public Radio1 On March 28, 2011, The New York Times (The Times) website became a restricted site. The home page and section front pages were unrestricted, but users who exceeded the allotted “free quota” of 20 articles for a month were directed to a web page where they could purchase a digital subscription. The paywall was launched earlier on March 17, 2011, in Canada, which served as the testing ground to detect and resolve possible problems before the global launch. The Times website had been mostly free for its entire existence, except for a few months in 2006–2007 when TimesSelect was launched. Traditional newspapers had been struggling to maintain profitability in the online medium, and they were eager to see how the public would react to the creation of a paywall at the most popular news website in the U.S. Martin Nisenholtz, the senior vice president of Digital Operations at The Times, was optimistic about the willingness of users to pay: I think the majority of people are honest and care about great journalism and The New York Times. When you look at the research that we’ve done, tons of people actually say, “Jeez, we’ve felt sort of guilty getting this for free all these years.

  • The Legacy of Trauma in Collective Memory As Seen Through a Study of Evacuation Day
    THE DAY NEW YORK FORGOT: THE LEGACY OF TRAUMA IN COLLECTIVE MEMORY AS SEEN THROUGH A STUDY OF EVACUATION DAY Cody Osterman A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Andrew Schocket, Advisor Rebecca Mancuso ii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor On November 25 1783, the British evacuated New York City after occupying the city for seven-years during the American Revolution. As Washington and his troops marched into Manhattan to take command of the city, both those who fled New York, as Washington did in 1776, and those who endured the occupation joyously celebrated his return, which for them, marked the end of the Revolution. Each year from there on, the 25th of November was celebrated as a day that would later be titled Evacuation Day. This work analyzes how Evacuation Day was celebrated from 1783 to 1883. This study examines the reception to each year’s Evacuation Day celebration through a rhetorical analysis of local newspaper coverage of the event and argues that traumatic memory is very fragile and unless well-cultivated fails to transfer to from generation to generation—replaced instead with meaningless ritual and bombastic spectacle. iii To my parents, Howard and Cathy Osterman, without which none of this is possible. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank both members of my committee, Andrew Schocket and Rebecca Mancuso, for their support and feedback throughout this process. Working with these two scholars offered me the guidance and flexibility I needed to make this project possible.

ABSTRACT In February 1863, Congress considered a bill to create for the first-time conscription at the national level. Democratic politicians vigorously protested that the proposed act was unconstitutional and destroyed the state militias. When Congress passed the Enrollment Act, commonly known as the “Conscription Act,” on March 3, 1863, outcry from Democrats about the unconstitutionality of national conscription immediately followed. In New York and Pennsylvania, Democratic newspaper editors and politicians decreed the act the worst among the Lincoln war measures in threatening to subvert the constitutional republic and to transform the United States into a despotism under the control of an autocratic President.

  • Bee Final Round Bee Final Round Regulation Questions
    NHBB A-Set Bee 2017-2018 Bee Final Round Bee Final Round Regulation Questions (1) This pope illustrated the sun and moon allegory in which kings derive their power from the papacy. At the Fourth Lateran Council, this pope called a crusade that was defeated by the Ayyubid Sultan Al-Khalid; this man had earlier called a crusade that ended in the 1204 Sack of Constantinople. This pope feuded over Stephen Langdon's appointment as Archbishop of Canterbury with John I. The Albigensian Crusade persecuting the Cathars and the Fourth Crusade were both called by, for the point, what early 13th century pope who annulled the Magna Carta? ANSWER: Pope Innocent III (prompt on Innocent) (2) This policy is called the \most radical experiment" in a book by Mei Fong, who claimed it was created by rocket scientists. Violators of their policy could lose their \iron rice bowl," as they were blocked from holding government jobs. This policy, which was made less restrictive in 2016, has resulted in an increase in sex-selective abortion and a massive gender imbalance, due in part to a cultural bias in favor of having sons. For the point, name this policy meant to control the population of China. ANSWER: Chinese one-child policy (accept Family Planning Policy; accept Dushengzi nu zhengce; prompt on descriptions of population control before the end) (3) Referring to this location's one-time commander, William Delaplace, a commander allegedly said \Come out you old rat!" while seizing this location. Arthur St. Clair and Philip Schuyler [sky-ler] were accused of negligence for failing to defend this location.
