180/Movement for Democracy and Education | 180/Movement for Democracy and Education or MDE was a U.S. national campus activist organization active from 1998-2004 . Its mission was `` dedicated to helping build a campus-based movement for political empowerment and participatory democracy . Through education and organizing we hope to encourage a radical political presence in our schools to transform them and our communities into truly democratic spaces . '' Its main goal was fighting against the corporatization of education , and subsequently aiming toward `` campus democracy . '' In its mission statement it said , We oppose corporate control of the university and society , inequitable and disempowering elementary education , shrinking access to higher education , and the racism , sexism , homophobia , and other forms of systemic oppression in our world . We support all efforts in these and other struggles for democratic empowerment ; the focus of our organizing will evolve in practice . Our goal is to help build a mass movement to reinvigorate a political culture of engaged democracy and social justice in our schools , in our communities , across our country and beyond . MDE had its beginnings through the renewed anti-corporate sentiment that emerged in the mid-1990s , and took off in different forms of student activism , such as the Pepsi boycott in solidarity with Burma . In 1996 , Democracy Unlimited of Wisconsin , Cooperative staffer Ben Manski , together with John E. Peck and others , coordinated the `` National Teach-Ins on Corporations , Education , and Democracy . '' This became the `` Democracy Teach-Ins , '' and in their first year occurred on over 120 campuses . Their central question was , `` can we pursue democracy and social justice when corporations are allowed to control so much wealth and power ? '' The next year another series of teach-ins were organized on some 246 campuses , with more sentiment for a national campus organization coming up . At the Campus Democracy Convention at the UW-Madison in 1998 , the 180 / Movement for Democracy and Education was founded . MDE was noted for confronting the transformation of the university into a corporate entity . The solution to corporatization , with the undemocratic nature of corporate structures , was to increase campus democracy . MDE also organized Teach-ins on campuses leading up to the WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 , and analyzed the effects of WTO policies on higher education . During this time a new student activist organization was formed in the labor movement-financed United Students Against Sweatshops , and MDE chapters often were dually-affiliated . In 2000 the two organizations jointly organized a conference in Eugene , Oregon . In 2001 , right after the attacks of September 11 , MDE initiated what became the National Youth and Student Peace Coalition , the first major student anti-war coalition of the current moment . NYSPC organized the Books Not Bombs student walkouts on March 5 , 2003 , just before the Iraq invasion , showing student resistance to that upcoming war . At its peak at least 15 chapters were affiliated with MDE . It eventually collapsed in 2004 for lack of funding . It has been succeeded in spirit by the Democratizing Education Network , an initiative of the Liberty Tree Foundation for the Democratic Revolution . |

1945 Texas hurricane | The 1945 Texas hurricane was a slow-moving tropical cyclone which paralleled the Texas Gulf Coast , causing extensive damage in late-August 1945 . The fifth tropical storm and second hurricane of the annual hurricane season , the storm formed out of an area of disturbed weather which had been situated over the Bay of Campeche on August 24 . In favorable conditions , the system quickly intensified as it steadily moved northward , attaining hurricane intensity later that day . As it approached the coast , however , the hurricane quickly slowed in forward motion , allowing it time to intensify off the Texas coast . After reaching major hurricane status , the storm reached peak intensity on August 26 as a minimal Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 mi/h . Later that day , the cyclone executed a slight curve toward the Texas coast , and early the next day made landfall near Seadrift at peak intensity . Once inland , it quickly weakened , and degenerated into a remnant low on August 29 over Central Texas . The hurricane 's slow movement and strong intensity was a catalyst for extensive and damaging impacts in Texas . Prior to making landfall , thousands of people were ordered to evacuate from cities along coastal regions . Upon making landfall , the storm brought strong winds , which caused widespread power outages and infrastructural damage . A peak gust of 135 mph ( 215 km/h ) measured in Collegeport , Texas . Northeast of Houston , Texas , a tornado killed a person after traveling for 22 mi ( 35 km ) . At the coast , the hurricane produced strong storm surge which swept and damaged port cities . Port Lavaca , Texas was inundated by a 15 ft ( 4.6 m ) storm surge , which at the time was the third highest ever recorded in the state . Damage in the port alone was estimated to be as high as $ 1 million . The strong wave action killed two people when it capsized a fishing vessel . Further inland , the storm produced torrential rainfall , which was also aided by the hurricane 's slow movement . Rainfall peaked at 19.6 in ( 500 mm ) in Hockley , Texas . The heavy rains caused extensive crop damage , particularly to cotton and rice crops . Damage to cotton in the Corpus Christi , Texas area alone was estimated at $ 1.5 million . Overall , the hurricane caused $ 20.1 million in damage , mostly to crops , and three deaths . |

The first tropical storm and the first hurricane of the Atlantic season , it developed on June 20 in the western Caribbean Sea off Honduras . For the next two days , it moved generally northward into the Gulf of Mexico . Reaching hurricane intensity on June 23 , it then turned northeast toward the Florida peninsula . It made landfall in the Big Bend on June 24 , then weakened to a tropical storm over land . Minor damage was reported in Florida , but the storm produced heavy , though beneficial , rains that eased one of the state 's worst recorded droughts . Upon entering the Atlantic Ocean , it re-intensified into a hurricane and paralleled the East Coast . On June 26 , it struck the Outer Banks of North Carolina as a minimal hurricane , producing minor damage but heavy rainfall . Continuing northeast , the cyclone delivered gale-force winds to New York and southern New England , causing traffic accidents and minor wind damage . Heavy rains drenched the area , and high waves offshore caused ships to need rescue . One man died in a traffic accident ; some people were rescued on Long Island Sound . Peak winds on land were 66 mi/h at Nantucket , forcing ships to remain in port . The U.S. Coast Guard sought to escort ships at sea into safe harbor . Overall , the impact of the storm was minor , though temperatures fell almost 20 ° F the day after the storm . |

1998 Auckland power crisis | The 1998 Auckland power crisis was a five-week-long power outage affecting the central city of Auckland , New Zealand in February and March ( southern summer ) of 1998 . At the time , almost all of downtown Auckland was supplied with electricity by Mercury Energy Limited via four 110 kV power cables from the national grid at Transpower 's Penrose substation , with two cables each connecting to two central city substations at Liverpool Street and Quay Street . The two cables connecting to Quay Street were 40-year-old gas-insulated cables that were past their replacement date . One of the Quay Street cables failed on 20 January , possibly due to the unusually hot and dry conditions , although this did not warrant a crisis as the three remaining cables could still supply the central city . The second Quay street cable failed on 9 February , leaving only the Liverpool Street cables supplying the city . Due to the increased load from the failure of the first cables , these remaining two cables failed on 19 and 20 February , leaving the entire central city supplied by a single 22 kV cable from Kingsland , resulting in about 20 city blocks ( except parts of a few streets ) losing all power . Queen Street was almost deserted for the first few days , as few businesses could operate . Some brought goods out onto the street to sell , but heavy rain in the first week made that impractical . Generators were brought in from around the country to power essential services and some businesses . These made Queen Street a very noisy place and thus deterred customers . Some businesses estimated that the outage cost them at least NZ$ 60,000 per week . In the five weeks it took to restore the power supply , about 60,000 of the 74,000 people who worked in the area worked from home or from relocated offices in the suburbs . Some businesses relocated staff to other New Zealand cities , or even to Australia . The majority of the 6,000 apartment dwellers in the area had to find alternative accommodation . Temporary power was supplied to the Port of Auckland by the Union Rotorua , a gas turbine powered cargo ship . The old gas cables were found to be repairable and were put back into service , but were restricted to 30 MVA capacity . The newer oil cables were irreparable , so to restore full supply to the city , a temporary 110 kV overhead line was constructed along the rail corridor between Penrose and Liverpool Street . Energy Minister Max Bradford commissioned an independent report into the Auckland Power Supply Failure . The report of the Ministerial Inquiry was released on 21 July 1998 . Following the crisis Mercury Energy Limited disposed of its electricity and gas retail business and , renamed Vector Limited , replaced the cables and reinforced the supply into Auckland . In 2001 , a 9 km tunnel from Penrose to Hobson Street via Liverpool Street was completed , containing two new 110 kV cables to replace the damaged Liverpool Street cables and the temporary overhead line . A third 110 kV cable was installed from Mount Roskill to Quay Street via Liverpool Street , largely superseding the old gas cables which were eventually decommissioned . |
