Researchers unearth remants of black village at Central Park

Researchers unearth remants of black village at Central Park: "By Kameko Jones, NBC New York & Ollie Montgomery, theGrio The remnants of an entire black community pushed out by the creation of Central Park in the 1850s are being given new life thanks to a team of anthropologists and historians who have been busy digging up the items for the past eight weeks. Settled in the 1820s, Seneca Village was a mostly black community of 260 residents, comprised of working- and middle-class property owners, the New York Times explains. It stretched from 82nd to 89th streets, between what were then Seventh and Eighth avenues. The community has been a subject of fascination and scholarly study for the Institute for the Exploration of Seneca Village History, a consortium of three professors from City College, Barnard College and New York University. After winning permission from the city eight weeks ago to excavate in an area of the park near 85th Street and Central Park West, the group has steadily been uncovering a wealth of material not discovered in previous borings, the New York Times reports. This dig, which will end on Friday, has already turned up 250 bags of items. Anthropology college students interning with the consortium told the Times of some more moving, powerful finds -- things like a leather and fabric shoe, clay pipes, bones from animals that had been butchered."

Lawsuit: Dance Club Claims to Be Church | NBC Dallas-Fort Worth

Lawsuit: Dance Club Claims to Be Church NBC Dallas-Fort Worth: "Dallas filed a nuisance lawsuit

Wednesday alleging that a building

used for after-hours parties violates land-use restrictions. The city says Darkside in the 3000 block of West

Northwest Highway near Webb Chapel

Extension is a 'drug-infested, after-hours' club. Dallas said the owner, Glen Hudson,

told city officials that his establishment

was a 'religious organization exempt from

the city's land-use regulations.' Hudson said he is

an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church, the city said. The Universal Life Church says on its website that it has

ordained more than 20 million people worldwide.

It offers 'free online ordination' by filling out a quick online form. The city had received reports of late-night parties

at Darkside. The location does not have

a permit to operate as a dance club. 'Our first concern was that someone might be using the

designation of 'church'... as a ruse, which is offensive to those

that care about... invoking that type of forum to cover

illegal and otherwise disturbing activity,' said

Melissa Miles, senior assistant city attorney. According to court papers, Hudson told the

city that Darkside is a youth outreach ministry. Darkside's manager, Thomas Eppelsheimer, known as

Tommy Gunn, was arrested Monday on drug and indecency

with a child charges. The city said Eppelsheimer, who is

free on bond, is accused of selling illegal drugs

to and having sex with underage girls. Darkside's location does not have a sign other than

graffiti on the side of the building that reads 'Darkside.'"

SHE HAS A NAME: Yashanee Vaughn, 14-Year-Old Shot And Killed By Her 16-Year-Old Boyfriend (PHOTOS) Global Grind: "The remains of a 14-year-old girl missing for

four months have been found in the wilderness near her home in Portland, Oregon. Yashanee Vaughn was last seen at a Taco Bell

in March. Just days later police arrested her 16-year-old boyfriend

after he allegedly told his father he had shot Yashanee by mistake.

Parrish Bennette also claimed he had hidden her body in the wooded Rocky Butte area, saying 'they'll never find her there'. Her

disappearance devastated the community and her mother, Shaquita Louis, led a high -profile campaign to find her. After a three-month

search investigators announced they had discovered the remains of a woman on Friday, after Bennette told them where he'd hidden

her - only a mile from his home. They were positively identified as Yashanee today, exactly four months after she went missing. She died

from a single gunshot to the head. Yashanee vanished on March 19, after having dinner with Bennette. She was supposed to meet her

cousin, but never arrived. Police arrested her boyfriend two weeks later, after he allegedly confessed to his father that his gun had gone off

by mistake. The day before Yashanee died he had taken a photograph of himself with his cell phone holding a gun."

HIV Positive Man Allegedly Rapes His 6-Month Old Son

THIS IS DISGRACEFUL...PRAYERS aRE NEEDED...

HAVE MERCY ON HIS SOUL...

HIV Positive Man Allegedly Rapes His 6-Month Old Son: "HIV Positive Man Allegedly Rapes His 6-Month Old Son July 4, 2011 By Staff View Comments A man in Ohio has been arrested for raping his son, who was six months old, according to police. Lenny Love, 29-years old, allegedly assaulted the child knowing that he was HIV positive. Love is being charged by the police in Silverton, Ohio with two counts of rape, one count of felonious assault and one count of marijuana possession. Love has reportedly confessed to the crime and is set to be arraigned on Monday. There are no reports as to whether Love was on drugs or not during the assault, or has a history of mental problems. Many sexual assaults on children take place when the accused is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Chris Nelloms, a former track star at The Ohio State University, was given 40-to-life for assaulting a girl in his care while under the influence of alcohol. In 2009, another man was given 45 years in prison for sleeping with a woman knowing that he had HIV."

Memo to Herman Cain: Obama is a real black man

Memo to Herman Cain: Obama is a real black man:

"If former Godfather's Pizza CEO and current GOP presidential

contender Herman Cain is sticking with his claim that President

Barack Obama isn't a 'real black man,'

then he needs a better definition of what he thinks a real black man is. Because Obama doesn't have to prove he's black to anyone. Put aside the stereotypes that might offer circumstantial evidence of Obama's blackness:

he played high school hoops, smokes Newports, and pulls only for the White Sox -- never the Cubs. And dispense with technicalities: Cain can proudly trace

his roots to African-American slaves -- but to pinpoint his own African heritage, all that President Obama really needs is Google maps. What's at issue isn't any one man's definition of blackness.

It's Cain's willingness to play the 'blacker than thou' card to hang onto the spotlight that's already begun fading from his grasp. Doubling down on his claim that liberals are

scared that 'a real black man might run against Barack Obama,' Cain --

who's never held elected office -- tells the New York Times Magazine in this coming Sunday's issue that Obama isn't 'a strong black man that I'm identifying with,' and then chides that 'a real black man is not timid about making the right decisions' before smoothing out his attack with the meaningless caveat that 'If he wants to call himself African-American, fine. I'm not going down this color road.'"
