Thomas Erwin Latimer (April 6, 1879 – November 6, 1937) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the Minnesota Farmer–Labor Party mayor of Minneapolis from 1935 to 1937. His mayoral term coincided with a period of labor unrest in the city. Prior to that, Latimer worked as a lawyer on the freedom of the press dispute that ultimately resulted in the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Near v. Minnesota. Latimer is of no direct relation to former St. Paul mayor George Latimer.

Early life
Latimer was born in 1879 on a farm in Hilliard, Ohio. He attended Ohio State University and played football there until his father's death, after which he returned to the family farm. He taught at a school for a brief period before joining the Klondike Gold Rush at the age of 20. He then moved on to work in silver and lead mines in Idaho and gold mines in Mexico.

Latimer returned to Ohio in 1905. There he married a woman from Hilliard named May Helser. The couple divorced three months later, and in 1906 May bore a son. Latimer had reportedly lost touch with his former wife, but heard that May's son had allegedly died. The falsity of the allegations would not be revealed to Latimer until 30 years later. As Time magazine reported in 1935, Latimer's son, Ira - at that time a Chicago radio news commentator who had suspected that Thomas was his father and had been brought up as Ira Jenkins by his mother and her second husband - read of Latimer's election as Minneapolis mayor and became convinced of his paternity upon learning that Thomas had been born in Hilliard. As the brief Time write-up noted, when confronted with his son Ira, Thomas Latimer "demanded proof, got it" and thus among the "chief guests at his inauguration...were his son, daughter-in-law, [and] two-year-old grandson." Ira Latimer, as he became known, was a lawyer, minister, and civil rights activist.

After breaking with May Helser, Latimer had continued his education.  He earned bachelor's and master's degrees and served as school superintendent in Juneau, Alaska. Latimer eventually left Alaska and returned to the United States in 1912 (the same year Alaska was granted territorial status) where he would embark on a career in law.

Legal career and Near v. Minnesota
Latimer studied law at the University of Minnesota. It was there that he met his second wife, Elsie Henry. They graduated law school, took the bar exam together, and then opened the law firm of Latimer & Latimer. They apparently did not have any children. Elsie would die five years before Thomas in 1932.

By the 1920s Latimer was "a prominent Minneapolis attorney." Arguably his most important work came in a years-long freedom of the press dispute that culminated in the critical Supreme Court ruling in Near v. Minnesota. The case stemmed from an attempt by then-Hennepin County Attorney Floyd B. Olson (later the Governor of Minnesota and leading light of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party) to place an injunction against a Minneapolis newspaper, The Saturday Press. Published by Jay M. Near and Howard A. Guilford and known for its anti-Semitism, anti-Communism and propensity to attack supposedly corrupt local officials such as mayor George E. Leach and police chief Frank W. Brunskill, The Saturday Press was a ripe target for Minnesota's new Public Nuisance Law of 1925. Also known as the "Minnesota Gag Law," the statute provided permanent injunctions against those who published, sold, distributed, or had in their possession any "malicious, scandalous and defamatory newspaper." A temporary injunction was granted against The Saturday Press and it was forced to cease publication pending further legal proceedings.

While Latimer was hardly a partisan of The Saturday Press, he did sympathize with their cause and was - as Near v. Minnesota chronicler Fred Friendly would later put it - "a kind of self-appointed Legal Aid Society." Under Latimer's advice, publishers Near and Guilford demurred in reply to the restraining order. While still abiding by that order in that they ceased publication, they argued that the temporary injunction was unconstitutional and did "not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action" on the part of the court.

In the hearing over the demurrer on December 1, 1927, Latimer argued that the Public Nuisance Law was "a subterfuge voted by the 1925 Legislature to get away from the state's constitution and libel laws..." He pointed out that "There are only two other countries in the world today with a statute similar to the one at issue...Italy and Russia." The latter comment was an ironic reference to a recent editorial in the influential Minneapolis Tribune, which had railed against the lack of press freedom in Benito Mussolini's Italy yet supported the Public Nuisance Law.

Judge Mathias Baldwin rejected the demurrer two weeks after the hearing. However, he certified the case to the Minnesota Supreme Court, leaving it to that body to decide the question of the law's constitutionality. As Friendly would later note, "By demurring, Latimer had opened the door for appeal, and by certifying the case, Judge Baldwin had kept the litigation alive..." The case came before the Minnesota Supreme Court on April 28, 1928, at which time Latimer argued that the Public Nuisance Law violated the Minnesota constitution and was "null, void, and invalid, being in contravention of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States." The Minnesota court rejected this argument and affirmed the constitutionality of the law. However more powerful forces would soon pick up the fight against Minnesota's Public Nuisance Law (including the American Civil Liberties Union and the publisher of the Chicago Tribune) and take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. It marked the first time that a freedom of the press case involving prior restraints had made it to the high court. The Supreme Court, in what is widely hailed as a critical victory for freedom of the press, ultimately ruled that the Public Nuisance Law was unconstitutional. Though Latimer did not argue the case before the Court, it was the original demurrer he filed early in the case that created the basis on which the successful constitutional challenge would proceed.

Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party, mayoralty, and later life
By the mid-1930s Latimer was a veteran politician of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party and successfully ran for mayor of Minneapolis in 1935. Though more liberal than his Republican predecessor A. G. Bainbridge, Latimer partially continued the antilabor policies of the city police and also adopted a more restrictive approach toward welfare spending. These actions alienated labor groups and some traditional liberals. Minneapolis Communists in the Popular Front faction of the Farmer-Labor party also found themselves in opposition to Latimer after he joined the Committee for the Defense of Leon Trotsky, the exiled Soviet politician and staunch opponent of Stalin and the Comintern.

During Latimer's first months in office, Minneapolis was wracked by labor unrest. Workers at the Flour City Ornamental Iron Works went on strike in July 1935, and when the company refused to arbitrate and brought in scab workers, the situation quickly became violent. To the surprise of some, given that he was a member of the Farmer-Labor Party, Latimer granted a request by the company for police protection. Soon there were complaints that the police were dealing with striking workers too violently, and after police fired into a crowd and killed two bystanders Latimer withdrew the police protection and closed the plant. His political future had been endangered as a result of the police actions, and Latimer "dared not offend labor further," as Floyd B. Olson's biographer George Mayer noted.

A second strike began soon after at the Strutwear Knitting Mills. This time Latimer refused the owner's request for police protection and spoke against the refusal of Strutwear officials to negotiate. Latimer attempted to broker a resumption of negotiations, but the unwillingness of company officials to compromise (combined with the unified front put up by labor in the city) made that impossible. Ultimately the Strutwear strike was resolved in favor of the workers, as was the dispute at the Flour City Ornamental Iron Works. These were key victories for the Minneapolis labor movement at the time, though Latimer played a somewhat conflicted role which may have cost him labor support.

Latimer sought re-election, but more left-wing elements of the party associated with the Popular Front had gained control of the Hennepin County Farmer-Labor Alliance. Displeased with Latimer's administration, this group sought to deny him the support necessary to secure re-nomination as the Farmer-Labor candidate for mayor. Popular Front supporters backed Kenneth Haycraft for the nomination, while other elements of the party sided with Latimer. As a result two separate nominating conventions were held which both claimed legitimacy. In arguments before the Farmer-Labor Association State Committee over which convention would be recognized, Latimer supporters "attempted to discredit the Haycraft convention by citing the presence of delegates who had signed petitions to put Communist candidates on the Minnesota ballot in 1936." This tactic would prove unsuccessful as the State Committee supported the Haycraft convention and Latimer ultimately lost the primary. Haycraft was roundly defeated by the Republican candidate, retired Major General and former mayor George E. Leach, in the general election.

Having failed in his bid for re-election, Latimer left office in July 1937. At the time he was living with his third wife, Mildred Unger, whom he had married two years after Elsie Henry's death in 1932 (they had met when Latimer worked as Unger's attorney in her divorce with her previous husband). Four months after leaving office, at the age of 58, Latimer died suddenly of sleeping sickness. According to his obituary, "So deceptive was the illness that he attended the Minnesota-Notre Dame football game a week ago in Memorial stadium."

Latimer family Bible
Nearly 70 years after his death, Latimer's name was once again briefly in the Minneapolis press. In 2004 a woman from Arkansas had in her possession an ornate, leather-bound Bible that once belonged to Latimer (her husband had found the Bible ten years earlier in a pile of discarded books in a San Diego alley). The woman, Teri Norton-Feaser, spent some time trying to track down a relative who would want the Bible, saying she had "called every Latimer in the Minneapolis phone book and e-mailed everybody I could" but had not located anyone directly related to Thomas. Former St. Paul mayor George Latimer was among the Latimers contacted. He had researched his genealogy and was sure that "[Thomas Latimer] and I are not from the same line, but I suppose we could be 15th cousins."

After the Minneapolis Star Tribune ran a story about the Latimer family Bible, two women contacted the paper to claim it: Dorothy Unger Hesli, 85, who was 15 years old when her mother Mildred Unger married Thomas, and Eloise White Saslaw, 83, who was a distant relative - perhaps a great niece of Latimer. Because she had actually known Latimer and was quite fond of him, Hesli was ultimately given the Bible. Hesli noted that she thought she could remember the Bible from her teenage years living with her sister, mother, and Latimer in Minneapolis, however she had no idea how it ended up in a pile of old books in California.

Jesse J. White (born June 24, 1978) is a former attorney and former Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, representing the 46th District since 2007. His district included portions of Washington, Allegheny and Beaver Counties.

A native of Washington County, Pennsylvania, White graduated from Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania with a degree in political science. He was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. After college, White earned a J.D. degree from Duquesne University School of Law in Pittsburgh. He worked in private practice for a law firm in Uniontown, Pennsylvania and for the United Steelworkers of America in Pittsburgh.

White was appointed in 2003 to the Board of Supervisors in Cecil Township, Pennsylvania. He made a run at the State House in 2004 in the Democratic primary election against 26-year incumbent Victor John Lescovitz. Lescovitz defeated White with 55% of the vote.  After his defeat in the primary, White successfully ran for Auditor of Cecil Township in 2005.

In 2006, Lescovitz decided to retire from the House, creating an open seat. White ran again in the 2006 Democratic primary, facing off with Paul Walsh, a local attorney.  With the fallout of the legislative pay raise lingering, White aligned with reform activist group PACleanSweep in the election.  He defeated Walsh in the primary taking close to 54%. White went on to prevail in the general election by a similar margin over Republican Paul Snatchko.

White was re-elected in contested races in 2008 and 2010. In 2012, he was listed as both the Democratic and Republican nominee after securing the Republican nomination as a write-in candidate. A group of Republicans, including White's 2010 opponent Greg DeLuca, endorsed White based largely on his position on Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling. White has been a proponent of responsible, accountable drilling of Marcellus Shale, but has also been a critic of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's withholding of data from air and water quality testing conducted near drilling sites. White also led the charge to overturn the portions of Act 13 which would have eliminated local control over certain aspects of drilling operations.

In 2013, White admitted making anonymous and fictitious online posts which attacked certain constituents who support shale-gas drilling. White originally denied the allegations, then later apologized.

Jesse White lost the 2014 Election to his opponent, Jason Ortitay.

On June 26, 2017, White was disbarred in Pennsylvania.

In 2019, White and his family relocated to Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, where he now runs his own political consulting firm, Perpetual Fortitude.

Mamani Mamani is an Aymara artist from Bolivia.  His work is significant in its use of Aymara indigenous tradition and symbols.  His art has been exhibited around the world, including shows in Washington, D.C., Tokyo, Munich, China, Singapore, and London.

Mamani Mamani's paintings draw upon his Aymara heritage, and include colorfully stylized images of indigenous mothers, condors, suns, and moons, among other themes.  Mamani Mamani uses strong vibrant colors similar to the colors featured in the traditional handmade weavings that are widely used by the indigenous people of the Bolivian Altiplano.  His use of indigenous symbols is especially significant in the South American context where indigenous cultures have been viewed as inferior to European culture.

In 2016, he made murals at the walls of the Wiphala social housing complex, located in El Alto.

Gerald Wayne "Gerry" Schetzle, best known by the broadcast pseudonym Wayne Shannon, (1948-2011) was an American television news reporter, political pundit, and humorist who worked in Detroit, Philadelphia, and San Francisco during the late 1970s and 1980s.

Shannon became popular with San Francisco viewers from 1982 through 1988 for his nightly "Just 4 You" segments on KRON-TV, where his name received billing in newscast introductions along with the anchors and weather and sports presenters. Many of his commentaries, which dealt with local and global matters alike, were published in the 1986 essay collection Shannon: What's It All Mean? — a book which drew its title from the catchphrase Shannon used to end many of his segments. From 1989 until 1991 Shannon was a prominent on-air personality as a video essayist on national cable channel CNBC.

Biography

Early years

Gerald Wayne Schetzle, known to his friends as "Gerry," was born January 16, 1948, in Spokane, Washington, but moved soon after to San Francisco, where he remained until age 12. Shannon attended junior high and high school in the small community of Moses Lake, where he first performed as an amateur/professional comedian. Following high school, he went to the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York City, appeared off-Broadway as an actor and directed children's theater off-off Broadway.

Schetzle returned to Washington and attended Highline Community College in Des Moines, near Seattle, before enrolling in the University of Washington, from which he would graduate.

Career

Schetzle was a veteran of the Vietnam War as a member of the U.S. Army and was in Vietnam for one year from December 1969. It was there that he began his life under the stage name "Wayne Shannon," as part of the Army's Command Military Touring Shows in a 10-person touring company performing the musical comedy The Fantasticks for American troops stationed in the field.

Upon his return to the Pacific Northwest, Shannon worked as a typist for Boeing. This proved temporary and during the middle 1970s Shannon was able to fulfill his aspiration of a career in show business when he landed his first television job as a movie host. Shannon later moved to WJBK-TV in Detroit, where he reported on consumer issues.

After his time in Detroit, Shannon took a position with Philadelphia's KYW-TV where he worked as a feature reporter and essayist from 1980 to 1982.

Shannon premiered as a commentator at KRON-TV in San Francisco on July 5, 1982.  "Even without opening his mouth, he projects an iconoclastic aura: There are pinchable cherubic cheeks and a rotund body of 240 pounds … that reminds one of Oliver Hardy. In his eyes there is the glint of Dennis the Menace, the twinkle of Thalia the Muse.  His delivery has the same cute mannerisms of Hardy: He cocks his head in funny ways, arches his eyebrows on a slant to match his arch humor, and dares to indulge in a wordplay for which there is not fit punishment," a journalist wrote about Shannon's style.  After Shannon's KRON-TV contract was not renewed in the spring of 1988, he migrated to national cable television channel CNBC where he worked as one of the network's originating commentators, delivering humorous and topical pieces in rotation throughout the broadcast day. Shannon prepared as many as three short essays a day for CNBC and was a prominent figure on the air for the network until it shifted its orientation to business coverage in the early 1990s.

Following his departure from CNBC in 1991, Shannon returned once more to the Pacific Northwest, working as a television reporter for several stations in the Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, media market. He later worked from his home as a humorous internet weather forecaster for Yahoo.com under the moniker "The Weather Guru."

In his last years Shannon made his home in the town of Lewiston, Idaho.

Death and legacy

Wayne Shannon was reported missing by his family in September 2011. On April 28, 2012, Shannon's remains were found in the woods near Skookumchuck in Idaho County, Idaho, by a pair of hunters. An autopsy was completed on May 1, which found no signs of trauma and led investigators to conclude that Shannon took his own life. Shannon was 64 years old at the time of his death.

Shannon was the recipient of six Emmy Awards and four CableACE nominations for his reporting. He was eulogized by his friend the popular culture commentator Edward Champion as a "broadcasting innovator" as well as a topical satirist who was a "precursor to Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Michael Moore."

Joe Eskenazi of SF Weekly remembered Shannon as "a rotund, walrus-like man" who "sported a salt-and-pepper helmet-like hairstyle and a mustache that, to put it gently, went out of style after 1945." Shannon had, Eskenazi recalled, "a comedian's timing, a journalist's drive, and a satirist's bile" and whose delivery "felt like a guy in a bar telling you what's what."

Orate fratres is the incipit of a request for prayer that the priest celebrating Mass of the Roman Rite addresses to the faithful participating in it before saying the Prayer over the Offerings, formerly called the Secret. It thus corresponds to the Oremus said before the Collect and the Postcommunion, and is an expansion of those shorter exhortations. It has gone through several alterations since the Middle Ages.

Description

Celebrant's exhortation
The full text of the celebrant's exhortation is: Orate, fratres, ut meum ac vestrum sacrificium acceptabile fiat apud Deum Patrem omnipotentem. The English translation is Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters), that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father. The earlier (1973) ICEL translation has "our sacrifice" in place of "my sacrifice and yours".

This exhortation is a reminder to the people that the sacrifice being offered is not the priest's alone but theirs also ("my sacrifice and yours").

The words of the exhortation are the same as in the editio princeps of the Roman Missal issued by Pope Pius V in 1570. At a later stage, editions of the Tridentine Roman Missal introduced a rubric absent in the original, directing the priest to say the Orate fratres exhortation with his voice "raised a little" (voce paululum elevata). A proof that it was not an integral part of the old Roman Mass is that it is always said, not sung, aloud, like the Tridentine Mass prayers at the foot of the altar, last Gospel etc. Adrian Fortescue remarked: "Certainly nowhere is the whispered voice so anomalous as here, where we address the people. If the Orate fratres were an old integral part of the Mass, it would of course be sung loud."

The rubric in the Tridentine editions of the Roman Missal directs the priest, if not already facing the people, to turn to them, say "Orate, fratres" in a low voice while extending and joining his hands, and then turn back to the altar while reciting the rest of the invitation inaudibly. It is the only occasion when those editions tell him to turn back to the altar by completing a clockwise 360° turn, unlike the other occasions, when according to the same editions, he reverses his turning to the people.

The limitation of the voice and the silent recitation of most of the request for prayer was removed in the 1970 edition. A rubric that remains directs the priest, when making the request, to stand at the middle of the altar, facing the people, and  to extend then join his hands. In the editions published since 1970 this is the second occasion during the celebration of Mass on which he is explicitly directed to face the people. In earlier editions it was the third occasion.

Congregational response
The congregation responds to the celebrant, saying: Suscipiat Dominus sacrificium de manibus tuis, ad laudem et gloriam nominis sui, ad utilitatem quoque nostram, totiusque Ecclesiae suae sanctae. The English translation is May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all his holy Church. The earlier (1973) translation omitted the word "holy".

The original Tridentine Roman Missal included the word "Amen" as an integral part of this response at the end and directed that the whole response ("Amen" included) be said by "the bystanders or else by the priest himself" (Circumstantes respondent: alioquin ipsemet sacerdos). Later editions removed the "Amen" from the response and directed the priest to say the "Amen" himself in a low voice (submissa voce). In the rubric it added "the server or" before "the bystanders" (Minister, seu circumstantes respondent: alioquin ipsemet Sacerdos).  Since 1970, editions of the Roman Missal assign the response to the people or, in Masses celebrated without the people, to the server, and speak of an "Amen" at this point only in response to the Prayer over the Offerings.

The response of the people emphasizes both the distinction and the similarity between the priest's sacrifice at the altar and that of the faithful.

Other rites
The Jacobite rite has an almost identical form before the Anaphora; the Nestorian celebrant says: "My brethren, pray for me". Such invitations, often made by the deacon, are common in the Eastern rites. The Gallican rite had a similar one. The Mozarabic invitation at this place is: "Help me brethren by your prayers and pray to God for me". The medieval derived rites, such as the Sarum Rite, had a similar formulation. Many of the old Roman prayers over the offerings contain the same ideas.

Show synopsis

Kids will be kids but for eight days five energetic teens get a shot at being adults when they trade places with their teachers in this ultimate role reversal reality show. Over eight days, the adults will learn anything the kids feel is important like Phyz Ed, Issues, Life Skillz, Rock Skool and Psych. But while the adults remember just how hard it can be to be a student, the kids get a taste of their own medicine when they realize there might be more to teaching than they thought.

Domestic and international syndication
Skooled also airs additionally on several other provincial educational networks in Canada, and in the past, the defunct network BBC Kids.

The program also airs in the United States on the Heroes & Icons network and South Africa's e.tv.

John Miers, FRS FLS (25 August 1789 – 17 October 1879. Kensington), knight grand cross of the Order of the Rose, was a British botanist and engineer, best known for his work on the flora of Chile and Argentina.

Miers was born in London to a jeweller from Yorkshire, and showed interest in mineralogy and chemistry from an early age. His first published work was a monograph on nitrogen which appeared in the Annals of Philosophy in 1814. After his marriage in 1818 he travelled to South America to participate in a venture to exploit the mineral resource of Chile, particularly copper. However, after landing in Buenos Aires his wife came down with childbed fever on the trip across country, and he decided not to continue to Chile, instead starting a study of the local flora, which at that time was largely unresearched.

In May 1819 Miers arrived in Santiago, Chile, having arranged the clandestine transport of coin presses, and settled at Concón, near Valparaíso. He developed business ventures with Lord Cochrane, then head of the Chilean Navy. They built a flour mill, developed plans for a ranch at Quintero, and intended becoming the major supplier of salt beef, biscuits and other supplies to the Navy

In 1825 he returned to England, and the following year published Travels in Chile and La Plata, the first of several works documenting the plants of South America. Towards the end of the decade he returned to Argentina to work on contracts with the Argentinian mint. Political instability ended this work in 1831 and he moved to Rio de Janeiro to fulfil a similar contract with the Brazilian government, returning to England in 1838. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society and assisted in the editing of the papers of others, as well as editing his own.

His most important work was Contributions to the Botany of South America (1870); other well-known works were On the Apocynaceae of South America (1878) and Illustrations of South American Plants (1789-1879). Several taxa are named in his honour.

In 1826, botanist John Lindley, published Miersia, a plant genus in the Amaryllidaceae. All 5 known species are native to Chile and Bolivia. Then in 1903, botanist Ignatz Urban published a monotypic genus of flowering plants from South America, in the Burmanniaceae as Miersiella also in John Miers's honour.

Fergal Aidne mac Artgaile (died 696) was a King of Connacht from the Ui Fiachrach Aidhne branch of the Connachta. He was the grandson of Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin (died 663), the hero of many Irish sagas, and was the last member of this branch to hold the overlordship of Connacht.

The kinglists have misplaced his reign by placing it after Cellach mac Rogallaig (died 705) but the annals such as the Annals of Tigernach give him a reign after Dúnchad Muirisci mac Tipraite (died 683) in the years 683–696. Nothing is recorded of his reign however.

The lines descended from Fergal (the Cenel Guairi) included the O'Heynes and O'Clearys while the O’Shaughnessys descended from his brother Aed (Cenel nAeda).
