Chronology
? 2004 ?

Idool 2004 was the second season of the Belgian version of the Idol series. It was won by Joeri Fransen, who could not follow the footsteps of former winner Peter Evrard and only release one album before he was dropped by his record company. However, second runner-up Sandrine Van Handenhoven, who was a long time favorite throughout the season above the winner and the runner-up, enjoyed an ongoing success as a singer as well as the host of the flemish Big Brother programme and therefore is now considered as the unoffical winner of Idool 2005 as she almost represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2008, coming in close 2nd in the national final. Laura Ramaekers has already been a semifinalist on Idool 2003.

Digital programming

The station’s signal is multiplexed. Even though sister station WBPN broadcasts low-powered analog and digital signals of its own, there is a simulcast of the station offered on WICZ’s second digital subchannel.

Virtual Channel Digital Channel Programming
40.1 8.1 main WICZ programming / FOX HD
40.2 8.2 WBPN-LP/LD “My 8″

History

The station began its broadcast on November 1, 1957 as WINR-TV. It was an NBC affiliate owned by Gannett along with WINR radio and the Binghamton Press. Current owner Stainless Broadcasting Company acquired the television station in 1967 and changed its call letters to the current WICZ-TV (named for the company’s owner, Henry Guzewicz). In the fall of 1995, WICZ announced that it would be dropping its NBC affiliation and switching to FOX, with the official affiliation switchover taking place on April 4, 1996 when its NBC affiliation contract ran out. At that time, WICZ began preempting much of that network’s programming (especially its daytime soap operas) in favor of FOX Kids shows. The NBC affiliation moved to Class A station WBGH-CA. On April 16, 2009, WICZ-TV left channel 40 and moved to channel 8 when the analog to digital conversion completed.

Newscasts

The station airs a nightly 10 p.m. newscast, which is 35 minutes in length on weeknights and a half-hour on weekends. The newscast is re-aired every night at 11 p.m. on sister station WBPN-LP/LD. Starting on Memorial Day 2009, it added a weeknight 6 p.m. newscast. This makes it one of a few FOX affiliates to air local news in this time slot. Despite consistently low ratings and WICZ having spent most of its history in a distant second place behind CBS affiliate WBNG-TV, the station has hired and fired some future stars in the business. This includes news anchor / reporter Kate Merrill (now at CBS affiliate WBZ-TV in Boston), wife of former NHL goalie Mike Dunham, and Sports Director Steve Bunin (now sports anchor at ESPN). Bunin was unceremoniously dropped after just two months on the job in 1997.

Medicine Bow - Routt National Forest is the official title to a U.S. Forest Service managed area extending over 2,769,949 acres (4,328.05 sq mi, or 11,209.59 km²) in the states of Wyoming and Colorado, United States. What were once three separate areas, Medicine Bow National Forest, Routt National Forest and Thunder Basin National Grassland were administratively combined in 1995 due to similarity of the resources, proximity to each other and for administrative purposes.


Snowy Mountains in Medicine Bow - Routt National Forest

The Medicine Bow National Forest section (1,096,891 acres) is located in southeastern Wyoming and was originally created as a forest reserve in 1902. Named after the Native American powwows in which numerous tribes would congregate here in search of mountain mahogany, which was an excellent wood for the manufacturing of bows, and to perform rituals hoped to cure diseases and thus make “good medicine”. Areas of interest include the Snowy Range where the highest peak is Medicine Bow Peak at 12,013 feet (3,662 m) and is visible from Snowy Range Pass, 10,847 ft (3,306 m), on Wyoming highway 130. The Encampment River, Huston Park, Savage Run and Platte River Wildernesses are all located within the Medicine Bow portion of the National Forest. The Vedauwoos are located immediately north of Interstate 80 and consist of numerous rock outcroppings popular with rock climbers. In descending order of land area the forest is located in Carbon, Albany, Converse, Natrona, and Platte counties. There are local ranger district offices located in Laramie and Saratoga.

Routt National Forest lands (1,125,438 acres) are located in northwestern Colorado. The Steamboat Ski Resort is located in the forest, on Mount Werner. The forest is named after John Routt, the first Governor of Colorado. It was established in 1905 by President Theodore Roosevelt. The forest encompasses 1,126,346 acres (4,558.16 km2). The Continental Divide splits the forest in half, with the east part drained by the North Platte River and the west drained by the Yampa River. Routt National Forest contains four wilderness areas inside it, including Mount Zirkel, Flat Tops, Sarvis Creek, and Never Summer. In descending order of land area the forest is located in Routt, Jackson, Rio Blanco, Grand, Moffat, and Garfield counties. There are local ranger district offices located in Steamboat Springs, Walden, and Yampa.

Thunder Basin National Grassland (547,620 acres) is located in northeastern Wyoming and consists primarily of leased lands to cattle interests. In descending order of land area the grassland is located in Weston, Converse, Campbell, Niobrara, and Crook counties. There are local ranger district offices located in Douglas.

The forest headquarters is in Laramie, Wyoming.

Mary Hall

February 7th, 2010

















Mary Hall

Jump to: navigation, search

Mary Hall (August 16, 1843-November 15, 1927) was the first female lawyer in Connecticut, and also a poet, a suffragist, and a philanthropist. In 1882, the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors’ decision to allow Hall to be admitted to the Connecticut Bar was the first judicial decision in the nation to hold that women were permitted to practice law.

  • 2 Pursuit of Becoming a Lawyer
  • 3 In re Hall
  • 4 Later Years

Early life

Mary Hall was born in Marlborough, Connecticut, one of seven children of Gustavus E. Hall and Louisa (Skinner) Hall. Gustavus Hall was a prosperous farmer and miller, known to be one of liberal convictions. Hall graduated from Wesleyan Academy in Wilbraham, Massachusetts, in 1866. She was an accomplished poet, winning a medal for her commencement poem and having her poems published in newspapers. Hall then went on to teach mathematics at the LaSalle Seminary near Boston, where she became the Chair of Mathematics.

In 1877, Hall decided to pursue the study of law. She approached her brother, Ezra, who was already an attorney and Connecticut State Senator, about her decision. Although he gave her no encouragement, upon her insistence, he gave her a copy of difficult legal work. After watching her study the work with great enthusiasm, Ezra decided to allow Hall to apprentice in his office. However, Ezra died a few months later in April 1878. John Hooker, the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Errors, took Hall in as his apprentice, beginning on April 2, 1879. That year, Belva Lockwood became the first woman admitted to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court. Hall studied law and copied and prepared judicial opinions under Hooker’s supervision and instruction for over three years.

On April 2, 1880, while studying law, Hall founded the Good Will Club, a charity for underprivileged boys, particularly newspaper boys. The program provided education as well as vocational training. The Club began with nine boys, but eventually grew to 3.000 boys, with its own facilities and newspaper called “The Good Will Star.” Despite her eventual practice of law, the Club was “Mary Hall’s first priority, and her life’s work.”

Pursuit of Becoming a Lawyer

In 1882, at the age of 38, Mary Hall made her application to the Connecticut Bar. She passed an examination on March 22, 1882. On March 24, 1882, the Hartford Bar Association held a regular meeting at which Hooker moved to have Hall admitted to the usual examination before the Bar Examining Committee, attesting that she had studied law in his office for three years and that she possessed the requisite qualifications for admission to the bar. The members agreed to allow Hall to be examined for the bar, subject to the ruling of the Supreme Court of Errors on its legality.

Hall had many supporters nationwide who believed that her admission to the Bar would be important for women’s suffrage. An editorial published in the Hartford Courant stated: “It is to be hoped that the members of the Hartford county bar will not see fit to put themselves on the illiberal side, on the pending application of an accomplished lady for admission to the bar. When women are allowed as teachers and as physicians without question, it would be taking a long step backward to refuse their admission to the bar. It would be regarded as a confession of fear on the part of men.” Another article stated, “Those very earnest and patient people of both sexes who advocate woman suffrage will look upon Miss Hall’s success in getting a decision in her favor as an important contribution to the triumph of their cause.”

In re Hall

In May 1882, Thomas McManus submitted the brief in support of Hall in the case labeled In re Hall. He argued that “save sex,” there was no other reason why Hall should not be found to be qualified to be admitted to the Bar. Noting that women preached in churches, practiced medicine, taught in the classroom, and acted as executors, guardians, trustees, and overseers, he claimed that the language of the statute regulating attorneys “neither expressly or impliedly exclude women” and that “attorney” was defined as a “person.” Opposing counsel was Goodwin Collier, who argued that at the time the statute was enacted, women were excluded from the Bar and the legislature’s failure to change the statute indicated its intent to continue to exclude women.

On July 19, 1882, the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors issued its decision in favor of Hall. Chief Justice John Park wrote for the Court and took the position, contrary to Collier’s argument, that if the legislature wanted to exclude women, it would have rewritten the statute to expressly exclude them. Park explained his opinion, stating, “We are not to forget that all statutes are to be construed, as far as possible, in favor of equality of rights. All restrictions upon human liberty, all claims for special privileges, are to be regarded as having the presumption of law against them, and as standing upon their defense, and can be sustained, if at all by valid legislation, only by the clear expression or clear implication of the law.” This decision had the effect of holding that the laws of equal protection applied to women because he in effect rejected the “entire jurisprudence of separate spheres.” It has been said that this decision as “ne of the greatest decisions in all of Connecticut jurisprudence.”

Later Years

During her legal career, Hall mostly confined herself to office work, assisting Hooker in preparing the Connecticut Reports and handling wills and property matters for women. Hall rarely appeared in court because “public sentiment would be much against a woman’s speaking in court.”

In addition to her legal work, Hall became increasingly involved in suffrage and social reform activities. In March 1885, Hall helped to find the Hartford Woman Suffrage Club and served as its Vice President. She also attended the International Council of Women to celebrate the first Woman’s Rights Convention, where the International Woman’s Bar Association was founded. Hall was then elected Assistant Secretary at the Connecticut Woman’s Suffrage Association convention. In 1895, Hall became a member of the State Board of Charities and was responsible for investigating and regulating the charitable institutions through the state. She also testified before the State Judiciary Committee in 1905 against a bill that would prohibit girls from selling newspapers.

Mary Hall will be remembered as a pioneer in the legal profession and a suffragist and reformist in Connecticut because of her dedication to the cause of women and of the welfare of underprivileged children.

Willington Dovecote & Stables

Willington Dovecote & Stables

Jump to: navigation, search

Coordinates: data for this location”>52°08?10?N 0°23?06?W? / ?52.136°N 0.385°W? / 52.136; -0.385 Willington Dovecote & Stables is a National Trust property located in Willington, near Bedford, Bedfordshire, England.

The property is a 16th-century stable and stone dovecote, which contains nesting boxes for over 1500 pigeons.

The dovecote and stables themselves were commissioned by Sir John Gostwick, the Earl of Gostwick. Completed in around 1541, they were made from the remains of a manorial complex, and include stones most likely taken from local priories, in particular, Newnham Priory, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

A signature on the stone above the fireplace in the stables reads “John Bunyan”, but its authenticity has not been proven.

Köksal Toptan (1943, Rize) is a Turkish lawyer and politician with the AKP. He earlier served as government minister in three cabinets. He now acts as the speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.

He was educated in the Faculty of Law at Istanbul University. He worked as a lawyer following his graduation. Köksal Toptan entered politics first at regional level in Zonguldak. Later, he was elected to the parliament as Deputy of Zonguldak and Bart?n. He served as Minister of State in the 6th Süleyman Demirel cabinet (November 12, 1979 - September 12, 1980), as Minister of National Education in the 7th Demirel cabinet (June 23, 1991 - June 25, 1993) and then as Minister of Culture in the 2nd Tansu Çiller cabinet (October 5, 1995 - October 30, 1995). During the government of Justice and Development Party (AKP), he was the chairman of the parliament commission of justice between 2003-2007.

Elected as deputy of Zonguldak from the AKP again in 2007, he was nominated by his party for the post of Speaker of the Parliament on August 8, 2007. On August 9, 2007, Köksal Toptan was elected 23rd Speaker of the parliament, supported also by the opposition parties.

Köksal Toptan is married with three children.

Extended biography

On November 12, 1979, he was appointed as a state minister in the Süleyman Demirel government, a post he held until the military coup of September 12, 1980. Banned from politics, Toptan started to work as a lawyer and even represented Demirel, who was also banned from political activity. He became famous winning all the cases in which he defended Demirel. In 1983, he took an active role in the establishment of the True Path Party (DYP), then led by Hüsamettin Cindoruk, and entered Parliament for a second time as a Zonguldak deputy in the interim elections held on September 28, 1986. In the 1991 elections, he became a deputy from Bart?n and then was appointed minister of education. During his term, he introduced innovative projects such as open high schools and student transfers from the Turkic republics. However, due to a scandal associated with the Primary School Teachers Health and Social Assistance Fund (?LKSAN) during his time as minister, he parted ways with Demirel.

After Demirel was elected president in 1993, he competed with Tansu Çiller for leadership of the DYP but was defeated and resigned from his post as education minister. In 1995, he served as culture minister and was re-elected as a Bart?n deputy in the general elections held in December of that year. In the 1999 general elections, Toptan was unable to enter Parliament but began to work as the chairman of a foundation promoting Turkey.

Before the 2002 elections, he was invited by Erdo?an to the AK Party, was elected as a deputy from Zonguldak and was appointed chairman of the parliamentary Justice Commission, where he helped draft the new Turkish Penal Code (TCK). Before Gül was first nominated for the presidency, his name was frequently mentioned as a possible candidate for that post. He was hospitalized at the hour when Gül’s candidacy was announced and it was rumored backstage that Toptan’s illness could be attributed to his disappointment about not being nominated.

Toptan has one child, who suffers from a disability, and his wife is a former judge with the Supreme Court of Appeals. During his term as education minister, Toptan conducted appreciable work related to disabilities and encouraged the opening of numerous rehabilitation centers. Toptan’s wife, Saime Toptan, is the chairwoman of the Turkish Training and Solidarity Foundation for the Disabled.

Pike Creek Bypass

Pike Creek Bypass

Essex <a href=County Road 22.png” src=”http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Essex_County_Road_22.png/50px-Essex_County_Road_22.png” width=”50″ height=”53″ />
Essex County Road 22
Tecumseh Road, Route 2, Route 22
Maintained by Maintained by the Essex County transportation department
Length: 7.4 km (5 mi)
Existed: 1934 – 1970 (re-numbered as Highway 2)
Direction: East/West
East end: Former Highway 2 in Puce, Ontario
West end: Manning Road
Counties: Essex County, Ontario
Major cities: Windsor, Tecumseh, St. Clair Beach, Puce, Belle River, Ontario

The Pike Creek Bypass is the part of Essex County Road 22 that stretches from Manning Road (County Road 19) east to its terminus in Puce, Ontario with Tecumseh Road (County Road 2). The road continues west past Manning Road as an extension of E.C. Row Expressway, eventually becoming that road.

History

The Bypass was constructed in 1961 to alleviate traffic along the former Highway 39 alignment (now Tecumseh Road/County Road 2). It was opened to traffic, and bypassed the town of St. Clair Beach, Ontario.

In 1970, Highway 2 was re-aligned along its path, eliminating Highway 39 from the system. Highway 2 would be decommissioned in 1998, however, and redesignated as Essex County Road 22.

Aside from a brief segment east from Manning Road for about 1 km, the road is entirely 2-lanes and without store and house accesses (it was built as a two-lane expressway, and only has access at intersections, with no adjacent properties or driveways.

Due to the huge housing boom in western Lakeshore, the road has become extremely congested, and many people have desired the road be widened to four lanes, or even a divided highway or freeway, but due to the narrow right of way, the road is being widened to four lanes as a new Super-Arterial road or even a Super 4, with the possibility of an interchange at Manning Road.

Scream Tracker is a multi-track digital sequencer (tracker) created by Psi (Sami Tammilehto) of Finland’s Future Crew (FC), legendary in the PC demoscene. It was coded in C and assembly language. The first popular version of Scream Tracker, version 2.2, was published in 1990.Versions prior to 3.0 created STM files, later ones used S3M. The last version of Scream Tracker was 3.21 released in 1994. It was the precursor of the PC tracking scene and its interface inspired newer trackers like Impulse Tracker.

Scream Tracker 3.0 and later supports up to 100 8-bit samples, 32 channels, 100 patterns & 256 order positions. It can also handle up to nine FM-synthesis channels on sound cards using the popular OPL2/3/4 chipsets, and, unusually, can play digital and FM instruments at the same time. However, Scream Tracker’s FM-synthesis features were very rarely used by composers.
