This blog is the place for you to give your responses to the authors who will be answering these questions and the case studies we will be reading, and it's also a place for you to provide comments on each other's entries. Our goals will be to 1) examine the readings critically, figure out their key points and arguments and connect them to our lives;2) develop our skills of logical, persuasive argumentation by responding to the readings, either in agreement or disagreement; and 3) keep the group conversation going outside of class by reading, seriously considering and challenging or supporting each other's statements.
This blog is open to a wide range of political and ethical perspectives, including uncertainties and shifts in position. After all, if we all thought alike, our discussion quickly would come to a halt or become boring, so courteous disagreement and challenges are encouraged. At the same time, this is not intended to be an academic version of Facebook or Twitter with no incentive to develop or edit our comments. This blog is far more casual and collective than a traditional college writing assignment but it is an academic exercise nonetheless, and it is one that rewards critical thinking, careful reading, thoughtful argumentation and clear writing. Write freely and write frequently, but think about what you are writing and read it through before clicking on the "save" button.
Let's see what we can make of this blog as we move through the semester. The point is not to reach definitive and final answers but to wrestle with these questions of political ethics, to challenge ourselves and each other. So, let's get it started: What do you think of the Walzer and Calhoun readings?]]>

For the 102nd time, the Kinston-Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce named two outstanding citizens.
During the Annual Awards Banquet Thursday, Danny Rice and Molly Taylor became the 2012 Citizen of the Year and 2012 Ambassador of the Year, respectively, for their services to the county last year.
Rice, the national director of Woodmen of the World, has been involved with numerous community projects in Lenoir County for more than 30 years.
"I don't know what to say," he said as he approached the podium. "What do you say to a community you love so much?"
Retired city councilwoman Alice Tingle presented Rice the award.
"A community does better when there's good leadership from people like Danny Rice," she said. "We've been the best of friends since he's been in town, (and) he has a good work ethic."
Between October and November, floods of Rice nominations inundated the Chamber's Citizen of the Year selection committee mailbox, which included some of Kinston's leaders and citizens, highlighting his service, work ethic, love for the community and active membership in local organizations.
Although the award was a surprise to him, his family already knew the recognition was coming when they arrived at the Kinston Country Club.
"We're very proud of him," said Rice's sister, Beth Jackson. "It's wonderful, he's worked hard all his life."
His most notable recognition to Kinston is bringing the Woodmen Community Center to the city, serving as the first facility of its type under Woodmen of the World. As the national director, his input influenced the board to select Kinston as a pilot city to build a program.
As a graduate of ECU in 1973, he served on the Advisory Board for the then School of Social Work (College of Human Ecology). He began his career as a program coordinator for the Department of Corrections and worked to develop and oversee programs throughout Eastern North Carolina, including multiple youth-related projects such as Woodmen of the World's Youth Program.
He said other projects are in the works under service-ship.
"It's such an honor," Rice said. "There are so many good leaders in Kinston and Lenoir County."
Rice also has done extensive work with the Boy Scouts of America and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
Laced in the slew of nomination letters was reference to Rice's passion for community engagement with an enthusiasm to improve life in the county.
He is a founding member of the Lenoir County Friends of the Homeless, Inc., an organization on a mission to provide housing for transient families.
The list of Rice's community service, awards and accomplishments in business stretched right to his Citizen of the Year title.
Many in Lenoir County collectively rallied for Rice to receive the recognition, believing he is uncannily deserving of the honor because of how he is working to transform the quality of life for the community.
"To be recognized in this respect is overwhelming," Rice said.

Things to consider when buying a quality Memory Foam Mattress
Following is a list of pointers which will help you pick out the best memory foam mattress for you:
Density: The density of your memory foam mattress will be better able to determine the durability of the mattress. Moreover the density of your mattress should be high enough to properly support your weight since a low density memory foam mattress will make you sink in it or lose its shape soon, and a high density mattress may feel too hard and uncomfortable. Ideally, a 5 pound per cubic foot mattress is said to last an average of 10 years.
Cost: The prices of a memory foam mattress vary retailer wise. Some maybe selling it at a cheaper cost than others while others may be charging a hefty price. Therefore it is recommended that you check different prices online before settling on one retailer. Moreover, high density foams are found to be relatively cheaper than low density foams since they cost less to manufacture.
Warranty: Like any product, your mattress is not everlasting. Also, mishaps occur frequently, thus it is important to check the warranty of your memory foam mattress at the time of purchase. Essential details such as how long it is for, what clauses it entails and how long the coverage period is. Sometimes, manufacturers may not directly mention some special restrictions, therefore it is suggested that you call the manufacturer before deciding to purchase.
Firmness: Your memory is in the most basic sense temperature sensitive foam. Thus, these tendto feel soft in warm temperatures while hard in colder climates. Even though we recommend getting a firmer mattress since it can be soften down with a topper, however, it really does depend person to person according to popular preferences. Also, the firmness of your mattress can also be easily determined by the thickness of the top layer and the kind of foam being used.
Layers: Layers and their thickness may vary by model. This also determines the kind of sleep that you will have. Pressure sensitive sleep is more likely guaranteed by the thickness of the top layer. Moreover, research has shown that side sleepers or larger sized individuals prefer the top layer to be at least 4 inches thick while petite and back sleepers are much more comfortable with a 2 inch top layer.
Manufacturer: The best way to determine the kind of manufacturer that has built your memory foam mattress is through the length of the warranty that it has been provided with. Longer warranty periods highlight a strong based manufacturer that sells good quality mattresses.
Type of foam: With the broad category of memory foams are three popular sub categories; Traditional, Gel and Latex. Where the Traditional memory foam mattress may get warmer during the night, the Gel memory foam mattress comes equipped with gel beads that allows for better air circulation. Similarly, as compared to the Traditional or Gel memory foam mattress, the Latex memory foam mattress tends to give out a much better natural feel than any other. Thus, it is essential to understand the kind of foam best suited for your body kind. Unlike the Latex foams, others are not said to be as eco-friendly, yet some people may get allergies from the Latex foam.
Be Smart
Since you do not regularly invest in a quality mattress, it is highly suggested that you go over the above mentioned information before buying the best memory foam mattress which is not only said to have many health benefits, but also said to be much more durable than any other kind of mattress. Memory foam mattress reviews are specially written to provide you with authentic information about top 5 mattresses. Now, it is the time to take smart decision.

ALTAMAHAW — Gary Young Jr. wrecked his new race car in a grinding crash on the first lap of pre-race practice last week at Ace Speedway.
But rather than launching into hustle mode for replacement equipment or a substitute car, he instead remained still for a few moments, quickly coming to terms with the shattered pursuit of defending his Modifieds division championship.
Young found acceptance and perspective, not anger and disappointment, there inside his damaged No. 45 car.
"I sat there and I said, 'Well, we'll get them next time,' " he said. "I've never really looked at racing like that. Generally, I'd have jumped out and been looking for parts. But this feels a whole lot better."
So Young essentially conceded the title that a month ago he had seemed poised to secure.
He opted against the mad scramble that would have been necessary to make the Modifieds' 40-lap race — a critical double-points event — and chose to spot for newcomer Tom Buzze, while Randy Butner and Devin Steele finished second and third, respectively, to take control of the reconfigured championship picture.
Young perched atop the division points standings from early May until last week. Now, with three races left this season, he has tumbled to fourth place, a substantial 94 points behind Butner, the new leader.
But, again, Young is OK with that.
"I'm not going to be the champion this year. Randy deserves it," he said. "He stepped up when he needed to. That's what happened last year. I won when I needed to win. And now he's running good when he needs to run good, so he deserves it."
The crash at the start of practice meant Young's season-altering circumstances occurred before afternoon became night, before qualifying runs and pre-race activities and most fans had found their seats.
He said despite applying the brakes and rotating the steering wheel left, his new No. 45 car neither slowed nor turned upon entering the track's first corner.
"I didn't even have a chance to warm the tires up. It just went straight to the wall," he said. "That's a brand new car to me. Literally, the paint was still drying."
The wreck's impact left a noticeable black scar streaked on the white concrete outside wall on the high side between turns one and two of the speedway.
Standing in the pit area hours later, his driving suit long since replaced by a T-shirt and jeans, Young said there's much more to assess than just the repair bill for his battered race car.
"I need to take a step back," he said. "Racing's really changed some things. I've lost a lot of friends. I've gained a lot of enemies. When you hear somebody talk and they don't really know who you are, but you hear them talking about Gary Young, and you hear the stuff they say, it's like, 'Man, what are you doing?'
"So I'm going to try to look at things a little differently, even when I do come back. I don't want to change my driving style by no means, but maybe the actions that I take, after racing or during racing."

Williams' 21 Points Not Enough as Falcons Fall to Catawba
November 12, 2013
MISENHEIMER, NC - Carter Williams scored 21 points and shot 72 percent from the field but the Pfeiffer women's basketball team (0-2) fell to Catawba (1-0) by a final score of 82-73 on Tuesday night.

- Financial aid and payment plans available.
How Does Distance Learning Work?
Most courses can be completed at home or from your place of work by following directions in your online course site. Many assignments involve participating in discussion forums or e-mailing your instructor. Some assignments may be required on specific due dates. Some courses include online class meetings using a microphone and headset. All distance learning courses require regular Internet access. If you are using dial-up, you may have trouble accessing some course materials and may need to use a public or work computer for some of your course work.
NOVA faculty and ELI staff are available to support you. NOVA faculty members provide valuable assistance by telephone, e-mail, office visits or through the mail. Student services are provided through ELI and NOVA's campuses. Exams are usually taken at a NOVA campus Testing Center, although in special situations an approved proctor may administer exams. Textbooks can be ordered online (http://eli.nvcc.edu/books/) or by fax, mail, or in person at the Alexandria Campus Bookstore.
Who Can Benefit from Distance Learning?
Distance learning requires as much or more time and effort than campus-based classes. Good reading and writing skills, initiative, self-discipline, and the ability to use Internet technologies are important for success. A self-quiz on the ELI Web site may help you decide if distance learning is a good option for you: http://eli.nvcc.edu/eliforme/eliforme.asp.
How Do I Enroll and Get Started?
You register for ELI distance learning courses the same way you enroll in on-campus courses, including NovaConnect online and telephone registration. When course capacity limits are reached, ELI sections are closed to further enrollment. ELI courses are designated with the letter "E" before the course section number, for example, E05H, E20A, E40N, E80L, E90M … You will receive course confirmation in the mail. Once classes begin you will find your course materials in your Blackboard course site. ELI courses require you to start working according to the start date in the course information you receive in the mail to avoid administrative withdrawal.
Other Information
- Virtual Class Meeting courses: While most distance course work is completed asynchronously, some courses require weekly scheduled online sessions at predesignated times using various applications (such as Wimba, Skype, Centra) for virtual classroom meetings. For more information and minimum technology requirements visit the Frequently Asked Questions on ELI's Web site at http://eli.nvcc.edu.
- VCCS Distance Learning: Distance learning courses are also offered at other colleges in the Virginia Community College System. Visit the VCCS Web site at http://www.vccs.edu/vccsonline.

2-factor authentication (2FA) increases the security of your account by requiring something you have to be paired with something you know in order to log in to your account. We support 2FA with either OATH TOTP (Google Authenticator) or a YubiKey.
There are several good (and free) OATH TOTP apps available for most phones. We recommend:
If you have another type of phone, you may still be able to use TOTP. Any app that claims to support the Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) algorithm from the Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH) as specified in RFC 6238 should work.
Note: Neither the Google Authenticator app nor our server implementation is specific to Google in any way, nor does it ever communicate with Google systems as part of its operation (or with any other systems for that matter). "Google Authenticator" is the name of Google's TOTP app, which has become synonymous with the authentication method itself.
If you wish to use a YubiKey, you can purchase one from the Yubico store.
In the log in box on our home page:
For even speedier log in, you can skip step 2: just leave the cursor at the end of the password field after you've finished typing your password and add your OTP code on the end.
You should create a different "Regular" password on the
Alternative logins screen for each device you wish to use. Again, it should be long and random, as there's no need to remember it; it should just be remembered by the device itself. If your device gets lost, stolen or otherwise compromised, you can revoke access for that password from the
Alternative logins screen.
Presuming your master password is sufficiently long and truly random (and given you don't need to remember it, there's no reason it can't be), there's no way someone will be able to just guess it, even if they try many, many different versions a second (which would soon get stopped by our rate-limiting anyway).
The whole point of 2FA is that if someone manages to steal your normal password through phishing or malware, they still can't use it to log in to your account without the 2nd factor. Since you never use the master password day-to-day, this can never be stolen. Most sites generate a "backup code" for you automatically to recover from a lost 2nd factor, just like the master password works at FastMail.
When you set up your TOTP alternative login, FastMail creates a secret code based on your username, the current time and some other random data. You import this into Google Authenticator (or other TOTP app) using the provided QR code or by entering the code manually.
Every thirty seconds, your app combines this secret key with the current time to produce a six-digit number. When you enter this number into the password field to log in, FastMail uses the secret code and its own concept of the current time to produce its own six-digit number. If your number matches ours (and the base password also matches), your login is successful.
This requires that your app and our servers have their clocks in sync. Because our servers synchronise times from the same global source that most mobile network operators use to set the time on mobile devices, it's quite rare for clocks to fall significantly out of sync. We have taken some measures to adjust for small differences in time between your authenticator app and our servers, so in practice the OTP code generated will be valid for about 90 seconds.
A YubiKey is a small USB device that generates single-use passwords. It doesn't need any client software: you just plug it into a USB port and it acts like a USB keyboard. It has one button on it, that when you press generates a new one-time 44 character password. It works like this:
It generates the one-time code by:
The internal values that are joined and encrypted include:
At FastMail, we get the 44-char code. We check that the first 12 characters correspond with the YubiKey you've registered with your account, then we send the code on to the Yubico servers. Since they have the shared private key, they can decrypt the values and check to make sure they are valid (e.g. counters are all higher than their previous values, the checksum is valid, etc).
Yes, absolutely! Whilst secure and very flexible, our alternative logins system was created a long time ago and is quite convoluted. We intend to replace it with a much easier, and more usual, 2FA setup later this year.

The "Gang of Six" senators has released an outline of budget reforms that would supposedly reduce deficits by $3.7 trillion over 10 years. Revenues would rise by at least $1 trillion, while spending would be theoretically trimmed by various procedural mechanisms. The plan promises to "strengthen the safety net," "maintain investments," and "maintain the basic structure" of Medicare and Medicaid, which doesn't sound very reform-minded to me.
Downsizing Blog
Two Trillion Isn't Enough
Washington is the only town where the circus never leaves. Elephants, donkeys, clowns and a ringmaster residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue — our nation's capital has it all. And what a show they're putting on for the American people over raising the debt ceiling for the umpteenth time in recent years.
Cato Video on 'Cut, Cap, and Balance'
Cato Institute scholars Chris Edwards and Dan Mitchell evaluate the plan offered by Republicans for lowering federal spending using a so-called "Cut, Cap and Balance" proposal that would make small cuts to federal spending in the short run, cap federal spending, and balance the federal budget using a tax-limited balanced budget amendment to the Constitution:
Repealing New Deal Labor Laws
Many of the laws covering today's workforce were written more than seven decades ago during the New Deal. Collective bargaining and the unemployment insurance system, for example, were both established in 1935. Since then, the U.S. labor force and industrial structure have vastly changed, which creates an opportunity to update the laws to better suit the modern economy.
Debt-Limit Deal: Cut $500 Billion Option
Charles Krauthammer is absolutely right that Republicans must call President Obama's bluff on the debt-limit vote. I suggested that the House GOP pass $2 trillion in cuts tied to a $2 trillion debt increase, thus handing the matter over to the Senate and the president and refusing to budge.
McConnell's Cave & Boehner's Opportunity
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has offered the president a way to raise the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion without having to cut spending. The WaPo reports that "McConnell's strategy makes no provision for spending cuts to be enacted."
Obama Administration's Latest Bad Idea
When government officials come up with what they claim to be a wonderful new idea, I often think of an old Saturday Night Live skit from 1990 poking fun at commercials for blue jeans. The skit's scene is a group of middle-aged buddies getting ready to play basketball in their new "Bad Idea Jeans." Each guy optimistically announces a plan to do something that is actually a "bad idea." For example, a character says "I don't know the guy but I've got two kidneys and he needs one, so I figured…" and "BAD IDEA" flashes across the screen. (The skit can be watched here.)
Space Program: Biggest Bridge to Nowhere
Friday marked the space shuttle's swan song, as the Atlantis lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center for the program's 135th and final flight.
Congress's Mood on Military Spending
Amidst the wrangling over a debt deal between the White House and Congress, the most interesting movement pertains to military spending. Several reports today suggest that up to $700 billion in military spending cuts is under consideration, which would amount to a bit more than 10 percent less than current projections over the next 10 years. A more realistic bottom line might be $300 billion, which could be achieved by allowing the budget to grow at the rate of inflation (in other words, no real cuts in spending).
Demonization vs. the Constitution
Yesterday, Rep. John Kline (R-MN), chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, introduced the first new legislation aimed at breaking down the prescriptiveness of the No Child Left Behind Act. It's a small step in the right direction, but there are two serious problems with it:

Dear family and friends,
Let me declare from the outset that I (Emily) am attempting the impossible in trying to describe the depth and breadth of the oceans of gratitude and love we have for each and everyone of you!
This journey, thus far, has been a strange one of agony and amazement.
The lion's share of agony was and is Dave's physical trauma. However, the helplessness of watching Dave suffer and the strain of waiting - during surgeries and in this period of healing - is emotionally agonizing.
In counterpoint to the distress, we have also experienced amazement at God's grace, creativity and provision!
We can testify to God's grace and protection in knowing Dave could have sustained far more severe injuries or post-surgical complications. We are dazzled by God's creativity as we have discovered just how intricate and interdependent are the systems in the human body. And we have been completely astounded and awestruck by God's provision through family, friends and many we have never met! Dave and I are convinced that you were prompted by God to so selflessly and generously sacrifice your time, talents and "treasure" to provide for our needs at this time. We know you all have sacrificed valuable assets on our behalf, and we are overwhelmed and humbled by the enormity of your benevolence! Thank you for providing "answers" to our prayers! We can never thank you enough, and we will never stop thanking you! Last but not least, is the amazing - surprising and inexplicable - peace and joy I have felt during the last few months.
When I applied Paul's recommended actions and attitudes, as described in Philippians 4:4-6, God fulfilled His promise given in Philippians 4:7:
"Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS. I will say it again: rejoice! …
The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
Your prayers and great kindnesses have contributed greatly to those gifts of peace and joy in this time of trouble!
Daily, we will pray that "…a good measure of…" God's blessing "…pressed down, shaken together, and running over be poured into your laps!" (Luke 6:38) May you trust in God's faithfulness and personally experience His amazing peace and joy, too!
With our deepest appreciation and highest regard,
Emily and Dave
PS. Please continue to pray for healing in the nerves in Dave's legs and feet!

Tighthead prop Neethling Fouché plans to dominate up front for Grey College this season, with the hopes of provincial and national selection for the second year running.
The 18-year-old was one of the surprise schoolboy stars last year. After helping Grey College achieve an unbeaten run in his first year of 1st XV rugby for the school, he went on to represent Free State at Craven Week and was selected for the SA Schools and SA U18 High Performance teams.
This season Fouché plans to build on his impressive 2010.
'I was really surprised when I was selected for the national teams,' says Fouché. 'I was 17 years old and thought I'd only be in contention for selection for these type of teams in my matric year. But I'm delighted with what I achieved at the 2010 Craven Week and it has raised my expectations for 2011.
'I want to play a leading role for Grey College this season and contribute on the field from the front. If I build momentum by carrying the ball up strongly or making a big tackle, that should inspire my team-mates to deliver a strong performance.
'We are aiming for another unbeaten season as we have seven players who were in last year's 1st XV.'
Fouché was born and raised in Rustenburg, where he attended Laerskool Rustenburg and Die Hoërskool Rustenburg before transferring to Grey College in Grade 10 for better rugby opportunities. Provincially, he represented the Leopards at U13 and U16 levels in 2006 and 2009 respectively before his successful season in Bloemfontein last year.
Fouché started playing prop in primary school, but switched to eighthman in Grade 8. When he arrived at Grey College, he moved back to tighthead prop, his preferred position.
'I want to play tighthead because there are only a few good ones in world rugby and I want to become one of them,' says Fouché. 'Last season, I scrummed well at tighthead but this year I want to dominate. I want to make the looseheads remember my name by scrumming them off the park.'
Grey College 1st XV coach Ingo Machts believes Fouché can become a versatile prop.
'Neethling can contribute at loosehead too. He's quite tall for a prop [Fouché stands at 1.90m and weighs 110kg], so he could do well on the other side of the scrum.
'Otherwise, Neethling is a good all-round player. He anchors the scrum well and is a strong ball-carrier. If he stays injury-free and works hard, he can become a good rugby player after school.'
Neethling will sign a junior contract with the Bulls at the end of the year, in a deal that will see him play for Tuks.
'I spent time at the union last year, doing some off-season training with the Super Rugby squad. I loved it, especially the family vibe.
'Next year, I want to study at Tuks but I'm not sure what course I will take yet. It would be great to play Varsity Cup rugby for them and go through the ranks at the Bulls. Hopefully I can crack the senior side in the next two or three years.'

Expectation confirmation: An examination of three competing models
2008, Organizational Behavior and Human Dec Proc
S. Brown, V. Venkatesh, J. Kuruzovich, Anne P. Massey
We discuss three theoretical models from met expectations research in the fields of organizational behavior and consumer psychology. Based on the fundamental arguments in the models, we term these models: disconfirmation, ideal point, and experiences only. We present three-dimensional graphical and analytical representations of the models, with satisfaction being a function of expectations and experiences. We tested the models in the context of a new information system implementation in an organization, with expectations, experiences, and system satisfaction measured for both ease of use and usefulness, the focal constructs of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). We found that an experiences only model in which expectations had no measurable effect best explained the data for ease of use. The results for usefulness indicated a modified version of the experiences only model in which the positive effect of experiences becomes slightly stronger—i.e., more positive—as expectations increase.

Questions have been raised about the timing of a driver's license checkpoint conducted by the state Highway Patrol on May 3 near Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church.
The church, located at 1620 Hanford Road, is not far from where the checkpoint was held at Hanford Road near the entrance of the Hanford Hills Subdivision. Jim Keck, a member of Blessed Sacrament, was driving with his wife to the church at about 7:30 p.m. that night for a special mass when he was stopped by a trooper at the checkpoint. Keck said drivers traveling from both directions on Hanford Road were being stopped for a driver's license check.
Keck said he was waved through the checkpoint without having to show his driver's license and when he got to the church many of the parishioners were upset.
"We were asking how the state police even knew about this special mass that had only been announced the Sunday before," Keck stated in an email sent to the Times-News on May 11.
The mass on May 3 was designated for Hispanic immigrants, but anyone from the public was allowed to attend.
Keck said Wednesday he believes most of the Hispanic drivers passing through the checkpoint were stopped and checked, while several non-Hispanics were not asked to show their driver's licenses. He also believed there was a second checkpoint somewhere east of the church that night.
"There is no other access to our church other than Hanford Road," Keck's email stated. "The time and location clearly indicated the action was targeting drivers going to attend this mass. We consider this discrimination and profiling."
Keck said about 750 people attended the mass on the evening of May 3. After they arrived, some parishioners called those on their way to the church to warn them of the checkpoint.
The Rev. Paul Gabriel of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church said he is aware of the checkpoint and had heard different accounts of what happened. Some have said that only Hispanic drivers were asked to show their driver's licenses, while others have said that wasn't accurate, Gabriel said.
Gabriel said the church doesn't believe the Hispanic population was targeted at the checkpoint and that the church has always had a good relationship with the N.C. Highway Patrol. Gabriel said several of the church's parishioners who passed through the checkpoint received citations. He didn't believe there had been a driver's license checkpoint at the Hanford Road location near the church before.
The mass began at 8 p.m. after an hour-long prayer service. Miguel Billeda of Burlington was among those stopped on his way to the church.
Billeda said a trooper asked him for his driver's license at which time he presented a Mexican Consular Identification Card and his work identification card. Billeda said after about a 15-minute wait the trooper issued him a citation for not having a valid driver's license and he was given a day to appear in court.
Billeda said he was surprised that there was a checkpoint at Hanford Road since he had never seen a one at that location before.
FIRST SGT. TIMCrumpler of the N.C. Highway Patrol said this week the reaction he has received from the public regarding the checkpoint has been "shocking."
Crumpler said the checkpoint was held from 5:30 to about 7:30 p.m. on May 3 at Hanford Road near Hanford Hills Road. There were four troopers stationed there.
Crumpler said the location was selected because the roadway allowed troopers to safely check for drivers' licenses allowing space for vehicles to be directed onto a shoulder. The entrance to the subdivision near the checkpoint also offered the troopers the space they needed. Another reason Hanford Road was chosen was because of its connection to NC 49 and NC 87.
Crumpler said every driver was asked to present a driver's license at the checkpoint and that the troopers didn't target Hispanic motorists. The only time a driver might be asked to drive through without asking to show their license would be if all of the troopers were busy with other duties or if the driver needed to pass through for a safety reason, Crumpler said.
There was only one checkpoint conducted that night in the area, Crumpler said.
Crumpler said checkpoints had been conducted at Hanford Road in the past but couldn't say when the last one occurred before May 3.
Crumpler said the claims of discrimination and profiling were a "misunderstanding." The state Highway Patrol is required to give citations to all those who don't have a valid driver's license regardless of ethnicity, said Crumpler. The checkpoint was conducted solely by the troopers. Crumpler also said the checkpoint did not target the church parishioners.
"We had no clue there was a service that night," Crumpler said.
Crumpler couldn't provide the number of citations issued or what the citations were issued for because there was no formal report.

Josh Strauss has become a cult figure in Joburg but he very nearly fell into rugby obscurity.
Had it not been for Alan Zondagh, Sharks fans might have been spared the frustration inflicted on them by Strauss in the Currie Cup final, and he might instead have been attending to our furry friends in their hours of need. Before he was spotted playing club rugby by the former Western Province coach, the Strauss life plan was directed towards saving animal lives as a vet.
In the latest SA Rugby magazine, on sale this week, we reveal how Zondagh helped Strauss to play for Boland, and how his impressive performances for Maties in the Varsity Cup resulted in a trial at the Lions.
Strauss also reflects on the Lions' triumphant Currie Cup campaign and looks ahead to next year's Super Rugby tournament.

Ah, spring in the Puget Sound region. Visions of warm days, shorts and skirts and being self-conscious about varicose veins may be dancing in your head. Is there anything you can do?
Some of us wear shorts and skirts anyway, ignoring furtive glances or curious comments, while others just hide their veins under hose or pants. A third option is available: treatment.
Whether you've got little red, flat spider veins, big, blue bulging varicose veins, or something in between, you've got the same problem – just of a different magnitude. Spider veins and varicose veins occur in the legs when the one-way valves in the blood vessels no longer work right, which lets blood collect in the veins instead of flowing back to the heart. This makes the veins widen, often becoming unsightly and uncomfortable. Most commonly varicose veins near the skin surface are caused by leaky valves in veins deeper in the leg. Untreated, varicose veins typically worsen over time.
To improve the appearance of your legs...

Bold patterns and colorblocking were paired with a crazy-quilt of patterns including camo, pin point polka dots, and stripes. Tommy Hilfiger and Marc by Marc Jacobs showed straight-up swimwear, while Rag & Bone layered their suits with cool-girl staples like crochet knits, athletic shorts, anoraks, and cover-ups.
Layer a tank over your favorite bikini for a weekend look, or try a top in a swimwear-ready material like mesh or neoprene. Whether you're headed on a beach vacation or just splashing around in your backyard pool, these relaxed looks are perfect for lazy summer days.

During the past month or so, it seems like every national sports story involves a Columbia County product or resident. The PGA Tour, Olympic trials, college national championships, you name the sporting event, and Columbia County has a young athlete rising to the occasion.
The national recognition began a few weeks ago when former Greenbrier softball star Kaila Hunt helped lead Alabama to the school's first national title in softball. Hunt also was named All-SEC and All-American, leading the conference in home runs and RBI.
In late May, USA Football held tryouts for their 15 and under Developmental Team at Lassiter High School in Marietta, Ga. USA Football is the official youth football partner of the NFL. The Marietta tryouts were one of eight regional sites to hold tryouts, and drew more than 200 players. Of the large group of attendees, a trio of Columbia County players impressed the organizers enough to be chosen for the 15 and under Team USA squad.
It was another solid year on the diamond for Columbia County baseball teams.
Four of the five public schools earned state playoff berths, with Greenbrier making it all the way to the Class AAAA championship series. The Wolfpack finished the season 31-5.
Harlem put together another 20-win season under coach Jimmie Lewis before bowing out in the second round of the Class AAA playoffs to Columbus High School. The Blue Devils went on to win the state title and were ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation.
When I last gave an update on former Greenbrier baseball star Rich Poythress' minor league career with the AA Jackson Generals, he was on the injured list and his numbers were down.
Well, in this case, stats can lie.
Despite just a single homer and 18 RBI all season, Poythress is actually having a solid year.
Before going on the DL, and despite hitting only .265, he was leading the Seattle Mariner's entire minor league organization in a key stat – quality at bats.
This year has been very good to Kevin Hunt and his family.
It started in February, when Hunt was named the new head football coach at Greenbrier High School. Then his son, Jordan, put together an incredible senior season on the diamond that has him in the running for county and area player of the year. He also helped lead Greenbrier to the state finals and a 31-5 season.
The spring football campaign for the Columbia Area Youth Football Association (CAFYA) concluded recently with one team putting together a season its players will remember their entire lives.
The 10 and under Raiders finished the year with a perfect 16-0 record.
Going undefeated is impressive, but what made this season great was the way the Raiders steamrolled through their schedule. The squad posted an astonishing 16 shutouts and outscored their opposition 430-22. That is not a misprint. The Raiders averaged 26.9 points per game and yielded a miniscule 1.4 per contest.
Kacee Camp just completed her final season for the Augusta State University softball team, and the former Harlem Bulldog went out in style. She earned First Team All-Peach Belt Conference honors after hitting .390 and leading ASU to a fourth consecutive NCAA Southeast Regional.
In addition to the team's run, Camp was also named All-Southeast Region for a fourth consecutive year. Camp had four homers, three triples, 13 doubles, scored 35 runs, drove in 27 runs, and was sensational defensively at shortstop.
There is nothing I can say to lessen the pain the Greenbrier High School baseball team is feeling. Their hopes of a state championship ended with a 14-4 loss to Loganville Monday in the decisive third game of the AAAA state championship series.
Former Greenbrier High School and Georgia Tech standout Brandon Cumpton has made a nice transition to professional baseball. Cumpton helped guide Greenbrier to state titles in 2006 and again in 2007 before he moved on to play for the Yellow Jackets. He was a ninth-round selection by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2010 after three seasons at Tech.
An unassisted triple play is so rare that recently ESPN was running a highlight of an Atlanta 6-year-old pulling one off. Eight-year-old Trenton Hamilton deserves a little publicity, too.
The Martinez-Evans Little League player was playing first base May 5 for his Machine Pitch Yankees. They were leading 5-4 in the third inning, but their opponent, the Mets, had runners on first and second with no outs.
