Did Mr. Skowronski specify what made the takeover "invalid"?

I would imagine he thinks it is invalid because he lost.

If Kenney wins the PC leadership I believe that you are going to see the same sort of thing happen to the Centre parties.

You are going to have a lot of small c conservatives joining the Alberta Party or the Liberal Party and attempting to influence the direction of those parties.

Neither I, nor 4 other card carrying Alberta Social Credit Party members I contacted on this matter received any communications regarding this meeting.

Not sure where the appeal to the Alberta authorities went, but the fact they are allowed to form another political party shows that yes, invalid does not really apply in today's 'democracy' .

It was a Fildebrandt moment as it were in actions being the opposite fo the supposedly high moral character being professed.

Worse, evidence shows most abortions occur because of false financial constraints, and in underhandedly sinking the last monetary reform party in Alberta, these people have ensured that a non-coercive method of saving thousands of lives is not to be.

If anything, they are worse than the mainstream politicians in their secrecy and hypocrisy.

I'm not sure if the modern day Socreds (as opposed to the historic ones who governed Alberta) are even worthy of a blog post…except perhaps as an answer to the question of what will happen to the PCs and Wildrose if a new right of centre party is formed which unites conservative Albertans.

That is, the old parties would continue to exist on paper, but only a handful of people would join, run or vote for them.

The BC Social Credit party exists on paper as well, although I believe the leadership is vacant.

The same thing has happened to Saskatchewan's PCs and Liberals, after the right was united under the Saskatchewan Party banner.

And those so-called phony conservatives are conservative in name only.

In any other province they'd be Liberal or even NDP so they should stop pretending they're conservatives, be true to their principles, and move over to a centrist party like the Liberals.

Neither social, nor credit, not even much of a party.

This joke has lasted far beyond its useful life.

History.:Alberta Social Credit in the 21st century.

In early November 2007, Len Skowronski replaced Lavern Ahlstrom as leader of the party.
 The party fielded eight candidates for the 2008 general election on March 3. The party received 0.22% of the total or 2,051 votes, a decline of 1.0% from the previous election. The best individual riding result, and the only result over 3.0 percent, was for Wilf Tricker in Rocky Mountain House, who received 6.4% of the vote, finishing fifth in a field of seven candidates, just 0.62% behind the Green candidate and well ahead of the NDP and Separation Party of Alberta candidates.
 It fielded three candidates in the 2012 election, and garnered 0.023% of the total vote. Its six nominated candidates won 832 votes in the 2015 election, 0.056% of the total vote—an increase of 0.033% over its 2012 result.


The win was called an "invalid takeover" by Skowronski.

# Dublin set to get a brand new technological university

Coming together of Irish institutes of technology will create a powerhouse of innovation and learning.

Ireland's first dedicated technological university was formally announced today (17 July) at Grangegorman in Dublin by An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, TD, along with Minister for Education and Skills, Richard Bruton, TD; Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform Paschal Donohoe, TD; and Minister for Higher Education Mary Mitchell O'Connor, TD.

The university will represent the merger of Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), IT Tallaght and IT Blanchardstown.

While centred on the new Grangegorman campus close to Dublin's north inner city, the existing campuses of DIT, IT Tallaght and IT Blanchardstown are expected to remain in place.

The three ITs had submitted a joint application for technological university status.

It is understood that the other ITs in Ireland, including Cork, Limerick, Tralee and Letterkenny, applied for the status but the Dublin consortium's bid succeeded.

The new university will add to a powerful existing cluster of universities in Dublin, including Dublin City University, Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and University College Dublin.

The coming together of the Dublin ITs as well as the collaboration between the existing universities in Dublin to create a technological quarter in Dublin's docklands, including a new €1bn campus for TCD, signals greater collaboration between Irish academic bodies.

It has long been the opinion of academics and science policymakers that Ireland's universities and colleges, while of a high global standard, on their own would struggle to compete with the scale of leaders such as Stanford or Harvard – combined, though, they could be a force to be reckoned with.

In recent months, we reported how funding cuts were blamed by the Irish Universities Association for Irish universities failing to make the top 100 of the QS World University Rankings 2019.

The new technological university will be required to maintain the current industry-focused approach of the ITs as well as reflect the needs of enterprises and regional stakeholders.

The coming together of ITs was also a prerequisite in the bidding process.

No doubt the centring of more university resources in Dublin will be met by grumbling and claims of neglect for the regions.

However, if Ireland wants to field the legions of engineers that the fast-growing tech giants such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Intel and Microsoft require, it needs resources of scale.

Prof Tom Collins, chair of the three institute's governing bodies, spoke at the announcement: "The members of the Technological University Dublin Alliance are delighted to receive confirmation today from An Taoiseach that we are to become Ireland's first technological university (TU Dublin) in 2019.

This is the historic culmination of seven years of hard work and commitment on the part of our three institutes."

DIT president Prof Brian Norton said: "This is a milestone day that marks the beginning of a new type of Irish university that will revolutionise higher education in this country.

TU Dublin will be positioned at the convergence of the arts, business, science and technology, and will strengthen the Greater Dublin region and its prominence as a location that encourages and supports knowledge advancement, sustainable development and inclusive education.

"After many years of laying the groundwork, today is the realisation of our long-held collective ambition to become a technological university, and the beginning of an exciting new chapter in higher learning in Ireland."

This article was updated to confirm the announcement of Ireland's first dedicated technological university and include comments from professors Tom Collins and Brian Norton.

Technological University Dublin (Irish: "Ollscoil Teicneolaíochta Bhaile Atha Cliath") or TU Dublin is Ireland's first technological university, established on 1 January 2019, taking over all functions and operations of the three preceding institutions.
 The university was formed by the amalgamation of three existing institutes of technology in the Dublin area – Dublin Institute of Technology, Institute of Technology, Blanchardstown, and Institute of Technology, Tallaght, and it is the second-largest third-level institution in Ireland based on student population of 28,500, behind University College Dublin.

The new university will add to a powerful existing cluster of universities in Dublin, including Dublin City University, Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and University College Dublin.

The coming together of the Dublin ITs as well as the collaboration between the existing universities in Dublin to create a technological quarter in Dublin's docklands, including a new €1bn campus for TCD, signals greater collaboration between Irish academic bodies.

It has long been the opinion of academics and science policymakers that Ireland's universities and colleges, while of a high global standard, on their own would struggle to compete with the scale of leaders such as Stanford or Harvard – combined, though, they could be a force to be reckoned with.

In recent months, we reported how funding cuts were blamed by the Irish Universities Association for Irish universities failing to make the top 100 of the QS World University Rankings 2019.

The new technological university will be required to maintain the current industry-focused approach of the ITs as well as reflect the needs of enterprises and regional stakeholders.

The coming together of ITs was also a prerequisite in the bidding process.

No doubt the centring of more university resources in Dublin will be met by grumbling and claims of neglect for the regions.

However, if Ireland wants to field the legions of engineers that the fast-growing tech giants such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Intel and Microsoft require, it needs resources of scale.

Prof Tom Collins, chair of the three institute's governing bodies, spoke at the announcement: "The members of the Technological University Dublin Alliance are delighted to receive confirmation today from An Taoiseach that we are to become Ireland's first technological university (TU Dublin) in 2019.

This is the historic culmination of seven years of hard work and commitment on the part of our three institutes."

DIT president Prof Brian Norton said: "This is a milestone day that marks the beginning of a new type of Irish university that will revolutionise higher education in this country.

TU Dublin will be positioned at the convergence of the arts, business, science and technology, and will strengthen the Greater Dublin region and its prominence as a location that encourages and supports knowledge advancement, sustainable development and inclusive education.

"After many years of laying the groundwork, today is the realisation of our long-held collective ambition to become a technological university, and the beginning of an exciting new chapter in higher learning in Ireland."

This article was updated to confirm the announcement of Ireland's first dedicated technological university and include comments from professors Tom Collins and Brian Norton.

# University of Chicago to renovate, reopen historic CTA Green Line station

The University of Chicago will renovate the interior of the shuttered, 125-year-old Chicago Transit Authority Green Line stationhouse in Washington Park as part of an ongoing effort to establish a major arts and culture corridor, called the Arts Block, along East Garfield Boulevard.

The Chicago Transit Authority announced today that its board approved a contract for the University, through its Lake Park Associates subsidiary, to lease the historic station, following a competitive bidding process.

The station, which the CTA said is one of the oldest rapid transit stations in the United States, has been closed since a new station opened across the street in 2001.

The University will invest $219,000 toward renovating the station, which will be re-opened as a welcome center for the Arts Block and for the Washington Park neighborhood.

The welcome center is expected to open in 2018 and will include space for community-focused programming, such as an incubator for small, local businesses.

"Leasing the station to expand its use underscores the University's commitment to supporting vibrant mid-South Side neighborhoods and to finding new ways to engage with local residents and visitors to the South Side," said Derek R.B. Douglas, vice president for civic engagement and external affairs.

"We look forward to engaging the community to consider future uses for the space."

The University announced in June 2016 that it is working with community partners to develop the Arts Block.

In addition to the welcome center, plans include the Green Line Arts Center, which will be an interdisciplinary hub for music, dance, theater and film production, and an outdoor, public green space that will feature an open-air pavilion.

Proposed projects on the block are dependent on donor support.

The Arts Block efforts build on the success of the University's community-focused Arts Incubator and Place Lab, and on retail enterprises along the block, including the Currency Exchange Café and BING Art Books.

Theaster Gates, professor in the Department of Visual Arts and director of Arts + Public Life, who is leading the vision for the Arts Block, said the historic CTA station is well situated as a place to provide way-finding for visitors to the neighborhood and is an important addition to the corridor.

"Arts and culture can transform communities by helping people to visualize new possibilities," said Gates.

"The Garfield Green Line CTA station is a historic cultural asset and physical space that will become a new place for creativity and opportunities for the community."

During the closure of the Dan Ryan branch of the Red Line from May through October 2013, Garfield station served as the terminus of several temporary bus routes in order to mitigate the effects of the closure. Each of the bus routes transferred passengers from the sites of closed Red Line stations south of 69th street to Garfield station, where fares were waived while the Red Line remained closed. This 'L' stop is close to the University of Chicago and is the closest 'L' station to the Museum of Science and Industry, although the museum is more than two miles away from the station. People looking to go to either of these destinations can take the 55 bus.
 One station entrance is the oldest entrance on the CTA system. The entrance closed in 2000 and was filled in with cement in 2013. The front of the entrance remains.


In June 2017, the University of Chicago announced plans to reopen the former station entrance.

The Cleveland Browns are moving on from suspended offensive line coach Andy Moeller.

"The Browns and Offensive line Coach Andy Moeller have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately," the team said in a statement written in conjunction with Moeller's agent, Paul R. Sheehy.

"While no charges were filed in connection with the recent accusations asserted against him, and which Andy vehemently denies, he has advised the Browns that he desires to devote his full attention and focus on his family.

Andy states that this was a difficult decision but the right one for him, his family, and the Club at this point in time."

The Browns suspended Moeller indefinitely earlier this month after his fianceé accused him of assault at his home in Berea, Ohio.

Berea prosecutor Jim Walters announced last week that Moeller would not be charged in the case, per the Akron Beacon Journal.

Moeller previously served a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy as a Ravens assistant in 2011.

That ban stemmed from Moeller's arrest on drunken-driving charges.

In Moeller's absence, assistant offensive line aide George DeLeone has taken over Cleveland's front five for a team that ranks 25th on the ground heading into Week 4.

Andy Moeller is an American football coach and former player. He is the son of Gary Moeller. Moeller was a player for the Michigan Wolverines football team, and served with the team for eight years before joining the Baltimore Ravens. He replaced John Matsko in 2011 after Matsko was fired. In the spring of 2011, Moeller was arrested for DUI, and was sentenced to 60 days in jail, though all but two of the days were suspended; Moeller was also placed on probation. The arrest was his third alcohol-related in four years. The NFL eventually suspended Moeller for the first two games of the 2011 NFL season. After winning Super Bowl XLVII, Juan Castillo became the run game coordinator and the new offensive line coach, making Moeller the assistant OL coach. In September 2015, Moeller was suspended indefinitely by the Browns for allegedly assaulting a woman in his home.

# Vancity Buzz launches in Toronto and Montreal

Eight-year-old digital publisher becomes Daily Hive

Vancity Buzz, an eight-year-old digital publisher specializing in hyper-local news coverage, has rebranded itself as Daily Hive as it expands from its Western Canada roots into Toronto and Montreal.

"The time is right for us to evolve, and branching out from Vancouver and [continuing to use the Vancity Buzz name] didn't make sense," said Daily Hive editor-in-chief and partner Farhan Mohamed of the rebrand.

"As great as the Vancity Buzz brand is, it has its geographical restraints; we can't open up in another city [using that name]," he added.

"We want to take the buzz everywhere, but it needs a home.

Childhood friends Karm Sumal and Manny Bahia launched Vancity Buzz in a South Vancouver basement in 2008.

The site began as an information source for local events (its initial tagline was "Your inside source for Vancouver happenings") before eventually expanding into breaking news.

Mohamed said the company started to find its footing during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, and further solidified its community standing with its coverage of the Vancouver Canucks' 2011 run to the Stanley Cup Final.

According to Mohamed awareness of Vancity Buzz among its core (18-35) audience has grown from 20% to more than 90% in recent years.

Eight years after its launch, it boasts 7.5 million monthly page views and a devout social media following that includes more than 304,000 fans on Facebook and another 153,000 Twitter followers.

Last year, the Downtown Vancouver BIA named Vancity Buzz its first-ever recipient of "The Emerging Leader Award," presented to what it described as "young leaders who are already changing our downtown for the better" and helping residents and businesses think of the city and its downtown in "fresh and interesting" ways.

The company's Vancouver success led the partners to launch a Calgary version, Calgary Buzz, in 2015.

That venture currently boasts 17,133 followers on Facebook and another 2,027 followers on Twitter.

The publisher caters to an audience that wants to make an impact in their community, said Mohamed.

"It's the ones who are trying to disturb the peace," he said.

"We didn't want to conform to any traditional norms.

We wanted to shake up an industry, and I think there are a lot of other people like us in our age range."

The Daily Hive officially launched in Toronto and Montreal Wednesday, while the company has grown to a full-time staff of 23 – up from three at this time in 2014 – and more than 60 freelance contributors.

Like most pure-play digital ventures, Daily Hive is comfortable working in the branded content space, with Mohamed singling out a recent Molson-sponsored series focusing on the city's best patios as an example of its work in the space.

"Native advertising is something that's a huge revenue generator for us," said Mohamed.

"The majority of our funds come through advertising, so we're always looking for ways we can stay ahead of the curve.

But whatever we put up on the site, regardless of what it is, has to be great content."

Regular advertisers on the Vancity Buzz site include Airbnb, local jeweller Ann-Louise Jewellers, footwear retailer Kintec and the food delivery service Skip the Dishes.

While the company does not disclose its financial results, previous reports have pegged its annual revenues in the seven figures.

The company has also hired Notable.ca's former Montreal editor-in-chief/manager and occasional Breakfast Television contributor Karolina Jez as its city editor in Montreal.

The company is expected to announce its Toronto city editor in the next week, said Mohamed.

"The time is right for us to evolve, and branching out from Vancouver and [continuing to use the Vancity Buzz name] didn't make sense," said Daily Hive editor-in-chief and partner Farhan Mohamed of the rebrand.

"As great as the Vancity Buzz brand is, it has its geographical restraints; we can't open up in another city [using that name]," he added.

"We want to take the buzz everywhere, but it needs a home.

Childhood friends Karm Sumal and Manny Bahia launched Vancity Buzz in a South Vancouver basement in 2008.

The site began as an information source for local events (its initial tagline was "Your inside source for Vancouver happenings") before eventually expanding into breaking news.

Mohamed said the company started to find its footing during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, and further solidified its community standing with its coverage of the Vancouver Canucks' 2011 run to the Stanley Cup Final.

According to Mohamed awareness of Vancity Buzz among its core (18-35) audience has grown from 20% to more than 90% in recent years.

Eight years after its launch, it boasts 7.5 million monthly page views and a devout social media following that includes more than 304,000 fans on Facebook and another 153,000 Twitter followers.

Last year, the Downtown Vancouver BIA named Vancity Buzz its first-ever recipient of "The Emerging Leader Award," presented to what it described as "young leaders who are already changing our downtown for the better" and helping residents and businesses think of the city and its downtown in "fresh and interesting" ways.

The company's Vancouver success led the partners to launch a Calgary version, Calgary Buzz, in 2015.

That venture currently boasts 17,133 followers on Facebook and another 2,027 followers on Twitter.

The publisher caters to an audience that wants to make an impact in their community, said Mohamed.

"It's the ones who are trying to disturb the peace," he said.

"We didn't want to conform to any traditional norms.

We wanted to shake up an industry, and I think there are a lot of other people like us in our age range."

The Daily Hive officially launched in Toronto and Montreal Wednesday, while the company has grown to a full-time staff of 23 – up from three at this time in 2014 – and more than 60 freelance contributors.

Like most pure-play digital ventures, Daily Hive is comfortable working in the branded content space, with Mohamed singling out a recent Molson-sponsored series focusing on the city's best patios as an example of its work in the space.

"Native advertising is something that's a huge revenue generator for us," said Mohamed.

"The majority of our funds come through advertising, so we're always looking for ways we can stay ahead of the curve.

But whatever we put up on the site, regardless of what it is, has to be great content."

Regular advertisers on the Vancity Buzz site include Airbnb, local jeweller Ann-Louise Jewellers, footwear retailer Kintec and the food delivery service Skip the Dishes.

While the company does not disclose its financial results, previous reports have pegged its annual revenues in the seven figures.

The company has also hired Notable.ca's former Montreal editor-in-chief/manager and occasional Breakfast Television contributor Karolina Jez as its city editor in Montreal.

The company is expected to announce its Toronto city editor in the next week, said Mohamed.

Marie Wilcox is the last fluent speaker of Wukchumni.

Aug. 18, 2014VideoThis short documentary profiles the last fluent speaker of Wukchumni, a Native American language, and her creation of a comprehensive dictionary.

Throughout the United States, many Native American languages are struggling to survive.

According to Unesco, more than 130 of these languages are currently at risk, with 74 languages considered "critically endangered."

These languages preserve priceless cultural heritage, and some hold unexpected value — nuances in these languages convey unparalleled knowledge of the natural world.

Many of these at-risk languages are found in my home state of California.

Now for some, only a few fluent speakers remain.

This Op-Doc tells the story of Marie Wilcox, the last fluent speaker of the Wukchumni language, and the dictionary she has created.

I met her through the Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival, an organization that encourages the revival of languages like Wukchumni.

Through training and mentorship, it has supported Ms. Wilcox's work for several years.

Ms. Wilcox's tribe, the Wukchumni, is not recognized by the federal government.

It is part of the broader Yokuts tribal group native to Central California.

Before European contact, as many as 50,000 Yokuts lived in the region, but those numbers have steadily diminished.

Today, it is estimated that fewer than 200 Wukchumni remain.

Like most Native Americans, the Wukchumni did not write their language until recently.

Although several linguists documented the grammar of the Wukchumni language in the 20th century, Ms. Wilcox's dictionary is the longest work of its kind.

Ms. Wilcox has also recorded an oral version of the dictionary, including traditional Wukchumni stories like the "How We Got Our Hands" parable featured in the film.

The pronunciation of the language, including intricate accents, will be preserved, which will assist future learners of the language.

For Ms. Wilcox, the Wukchumni language has become her life.

She spent more than seven years working on the dictionary and she continues to refine and update the text.

Through her hard work and dedication, she has created a document that will support the revitalization of the Wukchumni language for decades to come.

Along with her daughter Jennifer Malone she travels to conferences throughout California and meets other tribes who also struggle with language loss.

Although Wukchumni is now being taught to tribe members at a local career center, the language still struggles to gain traction and move beyond a rudimentary level.

Few seem able to dedicate the time needed to learn Wukchumni and become fluent speakers.

Without additional resources and interest, I fear the language, in any meaningful form, may soon exist only in Ms. Wilcox's dictionary.

He said, "You're going to get about 15 minutes at best and put it all out there. And when you walk out of that room, feel good that you got it all out there." So that was sound advice, and I did put it all out there. Keane was asked by Vice President Cheney to go back on active duty and lead the surge in the field. When Keane declined, Cheney pressed him to come work in the White House and oversee both the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; Keane again declined. Keane ended up briefly working at the White House and then later traveled to Iraq several times to advise General Petraeus.
 Keane currently sits on the board of directors of  General Dynamics, and is a consultant/strategic advisor for Academi. Keane was a lobbyist for AM General, the firm that produces the Humvee. In October 2016, Keane became the AM General's executive chairman.
