Constitutional Renewal

If there was ever one time for mass American repentance, it was one week ago today, on Capitol Hill. If there was ever one time where millions of Americans and other citizens of the world could assemble peacefully, without a single issue--not one--it was one week ago Tuesday, at Capitol Hill. If there was ever one time where true peace, love and happiness took place without the fluffy Woodstock romance, it was one week ago today on Capitol Hill. If there was ever a time where two million people could stand in one place for nearly seven hours, frigid from the cold, stiff from their train or bus rides, sore from their miles and miles of walking, their toes numb and their fingers achy, and yet be excited, smiling and celebrating the entire wait, it was one week ago today on Capitol Hill. For the first time in history, an African-American was sworn-in as President of the United States. But to say that was the only moment of significance would sell the day short. Yes, that was the most important part. But with it came so much more. Tuesday, after 232-plus years, came the final stamp to the Constitution. America had collectively tore down it's own Berlin Wall. Now, any American child can say they can do anything, and actually believe it. And it couldn't have come at a more necessary time in American history since World War II. And President Barack Obama answered the call given to him by his fellow citizens in an inaugural address that was more than just a statement to us and to the rest of the world. It was a pep-talk. It was a directive. And at the mall on Washington, two million people took their cues from the man they helped put into office and marched, and calmly carried their President's sentiments en masse into the streets of Washington, bringing that message back where they came from. Silver Creek, New York. And Greensboro, North Carolina. And Sidney, Australia. And Columbus, Ohio. And Kansas. And even Jamaica. And Ireland. And Rochester. And Buffalo. And Batavia. This writer was one of those two million people who stood a mile from the Rotunda, but heard every word spoken from the podium Tuesday morning and early afternoon, leaving via bus Monday evening and riding all night to the DC corner of 17th and L Streets before walking an estimated four miles to the mall, passing the Washington Monument along the way and eventually stood alongside millions of Americans, for for six hours before trudging all the way back. Aye! Yet, we all had the same idea. And if there was one day and place to take a loved one back to, Tuesday January 20th at the mall in Washington DC would be near the top of the list. Sure, it started out as just another radio bit from a Rochester morning show. It ended-up being a life-changing experience. It's cliche to say, "You had to be there" and "I wish you were there." However, as often as writers hate regurgitating those redundant sayings, the reason why they're used so often is because, they're true. Peace. Love. Happiness. Sounds like party in the Asbury-Haight neighborhood of San Francisco in the 1960's. Only it was a cold January morning in Washington. Yet five decades later, millions withstood the elements not only to witness a culmination of that decade's civil rights movements, but to seek the answers to the grave problems that face today's America. What separates this inauguration from others, however, is that everyone seemed to nod, smile and believe every word from their new President's mouth instead of just hoping it will happen. President Clinton preached change in 1993. But even the popular and charismatic leader started his administration after being elected by plurality, mocked by infidelity in the Arkansas governor's mansion, and a polarizing wife. President George W. Bush was elected by recounts, then re-elected by reluctance. President Obama's slogan was "Change We Can Believe In." Only time will tell, but when you can motivate record crowds to congregate from all over the country on a pitch of grass in the nation's capitol on a frosty winter's morning, that's a pretty good start. Aside from that, historically, there was much more to it. Watching from several jumbo-trons interspersed throughout the mall, the Million (or two) American March mouthed the words reading them from the closed-caption chyrons from the bottom of the screens as Barack Obama took the Oath of Office. It was if America, in all its colors, sizes, shapes and backgrounds collectively renewed Lady Liberty's Constitutional vows for our founding fathers, and more importantly, for generations, present and future. It was a day where all Americans crowded--yet not crammed--the mall and took a vow to bring the nation back from the depths of doom that have encapsulated it since September 11, 2001, a day that has still gone answered. America renewed its Constitution last Tuesday, actually believing in each of the words written on it instead of the idea behind it. America stood on its tippy-toes to catch a glimpse of the man taking the oath from President Lincoln's Bible, despite Chief Justice John Roberts (a native Buffalonian) botching the words. America announced to the world it would reclaim its rightful place as "The Land of Hopes and Dreams" Bruce Springsteen once wrote about--the same place my great grandparents and perhaps yours dreamed of when they arrived long before they'd ever learn there would even be a YOU down the line. Lucky you. Lucky me. Yet, we should never forget, hardly an easy decision. America, united, stood like a faithful married couple after 50 years, renewing their promises, showing their children and grandchildren that all can truly be worked out, that life and love can still stand throughout many dangers, toils and snares. That America, created by the rest of the world from the castoffs of fascist regimes, will return as it once was, but this time, not leave anyone behind due to race or anything else. Much of the two million people stood and amened Rick Warren's prayer. Much of the two million people sung alongside Aretha Franklin and her pretty, gray bow hat. Two million people donned caps and hand warmers and mittens and gloves. Two million people stopped traffic. Two million people of every race represented. If that's a microcosm of unity, America is in good hands, regardless of whom you voted for last November. On that mall Tuesday morning, President Obama talked to America. But he was also talking to himself. And the millions who watched may as well have been reciting the speech in the mirror. There was real hope in store, real change to take place, and real work to do in getting it done. Meanwhile, down on floor, there were no schemes. Nobody selling garbage products. No beggars. There was no violence. Nobody attempting to even sneak a cigarette (from this guy's vantage point, three-and-a-half big screens back) until Mr. Obama had taken the Oath, when one gentleman lit a Macanudo, signifying a satisfying sense of victory. And it continued all the way back to the bus, four miles later. And everything was calm, cool, and jubilant. No pushing, no shoving, no idiots. Just everyone looking after each other, ensuring each other's safety, helping with directions, with loved ones, with groups, and even over the barriers as nobody was either arrested, or trampled. What a country. What an idea. For once, millions stood listening to their new leader, who promised to restore The Land of Hopes and Dreams to its rightful owners. No, Barack Obama is not a messiah. He didn't promise a new Jerusalem to fall from the sky into Washington, followed by a thousand years of peace. He didn't bring an easy button, nor say he found the one lost on President Bush. He just said we need to get back to who we are. If you never read the Constitution, you got the best cliff notes in Washington, Tuesday. People talk about the ghosts of Yankee Stadium. Well, if there is such a thing, the ghosts of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and even Benjamin Franklin may have been meandering the Capitol in their colonial wear that day. There was that sense, let's just put it that way. For once, millions stood with real hope that they'll never have to congregate at the altar of America begging for hope and change again with caps in their hands waiting for miracle to fill them from the sky to take back to their families. Instead, they took that message to the streets of Washington. Then to their buses and airplanes. Then to their hometowns. And it's a privilege to share the experience with you. Hopefully, in 2013, I'll be able to attend the next inauguration. And if you told me the same man will be taking the same oath, it's a safe bet that America, and the rest of the world, got Tuesday's message.

CSCA 2014 - Interpersonal & Small Group Communication Interest Group - Organizer Needed for Panel
Organizer Needed for Panel
At the 2013 business meeting, one of the ideas for a panel for the 2014 conference was related to The Onion parody of communication majors. Questions raised included: What is our responsibility in helping people understand what we do? How do we "elevate" our research? How do we make difficult decisions about what we consider to be valuable scholarship and direction? This topic generated more discussion than any other. Some people have expressed interest in being on such a panel, but I have yet had anyone willing to step up and organize/lead this panel. If you are interested in taking on that role, please contact me at email@example.com ASAP. If we want to pursue this, we need to get it finalized in the next week. Thank you!

SIX MONTHS after labelling St James, the parish with the highest incidence of crime, Jamaica's Minister of National Security, Peter Bunting, says there has been a dramatic reduction in murders in the western township.
"There has been a 50 per cent reduction in murders, which is phenomenal," said the minister while addressing members of The St James Police Civic Committee at The Wexford Hotel in Montego Bay Thursday evening.
Bunting said there was a noticeable difference since the rape of the five females, including an eight-year-old, in Irwin Point St James last September.
Pointing out that the statistics represented the last quarter, he said January too was encouraging, as it posted a 47 per cent reduction on the corresponding period in 2012.
"Fifty per cent is not trivial, it is dramatic. If we can hold it, it will change the quality of life for the citizens in the parish," he said.
The national security minister posited that if the numbers could be sustained, this would result in a better business environment and improvement in tourism.
Acknowledging that the parish still had its challenges, particularly, as it relates to sexual offences and lottery scamming, Bunting said he was, however, heartened by the fact that some communities were now getting involved and being proactive.
"When I first started to engage the people in Montego Bay (the capital of St James), they were in denial, those who were not in denial held their heads in the sand," he said.
Enough is enough
Bunting said the turning point was last September when the five females were raped.
"I got the sense that the citizens were saying, enough is enough, we are not accepting this anymore, not for our children, not for our mothers or our fathers."
Coming out of a tough 48 hours where two policemen were killed, one murdered, the other shot during a training exercise; the abduction and murder of a 14-year-old girl and the cold-blooded daylight shooting of a four-year-old boy in Kingston Central Thursday morning, the national security minister said he was happy to hear some good news.
"And St James' murder statistics are among the good news, along with the fact that community groups are becoming more engaged in what happens in their area," he noted.

Columbus changed the world forever in good and bad ways. Columbus is mostly known for the good reasons though. Columbus sailed to the New World and spread disease and abolished the natives. Columbus told the king and queen that he even set foot on the land when he never did. All Columbus did was pretty much just look at the land from his ship. Columbus Day should not be celebrated any longer.
We should not continue to celebrate Columbus Day because we are celebrating it not even knowing what we are celebrating. When we celebrate Columbus day we celebrate when Columbus sailed to the New World in 1492. Or that is the sweet sounding version that doesn't even explain half of the things that went on. The real story is that Columbus sailed to the New World not knowing what he was going to find. When he sailed over he kicked out and abolished the natives. He also spread European diseases that the Europeans had become immune to, but the natives weren't, so the natives got sick and died because of it. When Columbus landed back in Europe, he lied to the king, and told him that he set foot on the New World, pretty much saying that he discovered it when there were already people living there who obviously discovered it first. People should start to think about what we are really celebrating when we celebrate Columbus Day.
Columbus Day is not a good holiday to be celebrating because we are celebrating it for the wrong reason. We celebrate Columbus Day because it was the day that Columbus discovered America. When he did this he also, abolished the natives, spread disease, lied to the king and queen, and never even set foot on the new world. Columbus Day shouldn't even be celebrated at all.

The New Hanover County Courthouse is closing for business because of bedbugs.
County officials say the courthouse will be closed Thursday to allow exterminators full access to the building. The bedbugs were discovered Wednesday in a work area by court personnel. New Hanover County property management was alerted. Officials say it will take most of the day to deal with the bugs. District Attorney Ben David says his office will reschedule Thursday's cases with the hope that court can return to normal operations on Friday.

When viewing this video, do not expect an ordinary, run-of-the-mill television program or movie production. This is an actual production of the play, acted by some well-known actors of the 70s, including Hal Holbrook, Barbara Bel Geddes, Sada Thompson, and Robby Benson. The video is in acts and is performed on a stage, just as it would be in the theater.
I did find it a tad disconcerting (and distracting) that there were very few actual props or scenery used in the play. The buildings were just roofs hung over the area the actors were in; the doorways, walkways, and shrubs were painted on the floor to suggest those items. When cooking, eating, or reading, the actors pantomimed those actions. That, however, is how the play was written and is apparently not a problem for the millions of other Americans who have seen this play in one form or another.
Because this play explores love, life, and death in a small American town at the beginning of the twentieth century (1901-14), it would be an interesting addition to a study of American history, particularly for older students. I thought it was too much dialogue with too many undertones of emotion for younger students to be interested.
A drawback to purchasing this tape would be the cost. This VHS tape retails for $74.95, far too much for most homeschooling families to purchase a copy for their private collection. However, for use in a co-op or another group setting, it might be a worthwhile investment to consider.

The Ukraine on my mindPublished 1:10pm Monday, March 17, 2014
I've been thinking hard about the conflict in Ukraine the last couple of weeks. Serves me right that two days I write a column vaguely favoring the proposed drawdown of our military forces, the Great Russian Bear would start to get frisky again. This one seems like a bigger deal though because I feel a stronger tie with Ukraine than the average former Soviet Republic.
We know two couples in the area who not only travelled to Ukraine – the disputed Crimean peninsula to be exact – but adopted two of the orphans there while on a missions trip.
Our family friend Rev. Tom Benz built an entire ministry around reaching out to the thousands of orphans in that country. My parents went there a few summers to help Tom and his team put on vacation Bible schools for the kids there.
Elmore County High even owes its best season in program history in part to Ukrainian exchange student Anton, the best goalkeeper ever to grace an Eclectic pitch.
Simferopol and Sevastopol are in the news now, as Russian troops swiftly invade with the confidence of a one-time superpower who knows the world's real superpower is not exactly on its game. I have winced listening to news anchors mangle the pronunciations.
I worry for those Ukrainians like Anton whom I've met, for those my parents met over there and for the orphans who came to Tom's camp near Clanton, BridgeStone. I can't recall what city Anton was from, what part of the country he called home.
I don't think our nation is willing or able to do anything about Russia's actions in Ukraine, even if our political leadership would even consider it.
So all that can be done is keep watch on the news and pray the situation works out for the best. Well, that and to proudly wear my Ukrainian National Team jersey in solidarity with those fighting for their freedom.
There's an Eclectic connection to Carly's Bill, the legislation that just cleared the Senate to allow use of a medicine derived from marijuana plants. The version of the bill that cleared the Senate limits distribution of the cannabidiol medication to researchers at UAB, but it's a good start for families whose children suffer from a form of epilepsy that causes debilitating seizures.
The cannabis-derived drug is the only thing that has worked in a way that didn't sedate the child beyond lucidity. The medication was synthesized to alleviate the seizures without the intoxicating effects.
Along with the bill's namesake 3-year-old Carly Chandler, another poster child for the effort is Gabriel Pass, son of Rev. Frank Pass, the former youth minister of Eclectic United Methodist Church.
It's been a long difficult effort for the bill's sponsors to break through the "just say no" attitude to marijuana and its derivatives that still runs strong in Alabama. It took some guts for a Methodist minister to step out in favor, but there are few things that inspire courage like the needs of one's children.
Carly's Law passed in the state Senate, by a unanimous vote. But it still faces a tough road in the House. This is not after all Washington or Colorado, or even one of the many other states that have approved marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Classroom emergency preparedness is a necessary function of our overall campus readiness. Students, even in higher education settings, look to the instructor for guidance and definitive action during an emergency. Faculty is presented with a unique challenge in emergency planning as they travel between buildings and classrooms delivering lectures and guiding lab activities.
Suggestion: Take a few minutes at the start of each quarter to familiarize students with basic evacuation and emergency procedures. This will ensure that your students are better prepared for an emergency.
The following information is intended to serve as a quick reference during emergencies.
Know the evacuation routes for your classroom. Evacuation routes are posted on building walls at main entrances.
Use the nearest available exit. Look for illuminated EXIT signs in larger classrooms to determine primary and secondary exits.
All fire alarms are mandatory evacuation.
Designate an emergency assembly area for your class outside of the building in case of evacuation.
Ensure that your class knows the location and use it to account for students during an evacuation.
As your class is evacuating the classroom, ensure that everyone is leaving the building.

Here're the gun control proposals being considered by the Obama Administration
January 14, 2013
We now know what and how they are planning to infringe on our right to keep and bear arms. The left-wing think tank, the
Center for American Progress
has made its report to the Obama Administration for what they call "Preventing Gun Violence in Our Nation." The
Washington Post
is reporting
is reporting that the CAP will also lead the campaign to get the recommendation of the Biden group implemented.
The proposal is the most far-reaching effort in the nation's history to seek to restrict access to guns, control their manufacture and sell and track Americans who own guns. The proposal includes several executive actions that are proposed for implementation without getting Congressional approval.
The proposals would:
Ban what they call "military-grade" weapons. They define these as guns with magazines holding more than 10 rounds. The proposal is not only to stop the manufacture and sell of such weapons but to "take them off the streets and out of the hands of gun owners."
Create the most extensive data-base tracking system in the nation's history, not only of guns but of people who own guns. The proposal, if implemented, would allow the efficient confiscation of weapons and detention of people in the event of a "national emergency."
Centralizing the power to enforce gun laws in the Federal government and impose greater obligations on state and local officials to aid and abett the Federal enforcement of both existing and future gun control laws. In other words, it lays the groundwork for a massive enforcement mechanism.
More extensive background checks including the private sale of guns, including used guns.
Provides for
ex parte
orders for person accused, but never arrested or convicted of several misdemeanors (ex. harassment) based solely on a complaint by another individual without benefit of a trial for the person accused.
Give the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives more power, shield the agency from Congressional budget control and move it to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Click here
to go to the original source.
The report does not include any research to support any of the recommendations based on whether they would actually be effective in reducing gun-related violence. In other words, there is no evidence that any of the proposals would actually work to accomplish what they suggest is the reason for the restrictions. There are no recommendations, except a proposal for harsher penalties, that are focused on prevening criminals for possessing any kind of weapon they choose to have or use. Most of the proposals would simply create more bureaucracy and penalize law abiding citizens while doing essentially nothing about criminals who already ignore the existing laws.

January 14, 2013 | 08:01 AM
I think the problem lies not in the regulation of sale, but rather in the mental stability of those who are able to purchase such arms.
David G
who, what, & why
January 14, 2013 | 03:37 PM
Just WHO will make up the determination of mental stability? The DSM can change from year to year.
"Military grade" as a term can include a bolt-action rifle to a totally non-working antique; rather than the most modern style of weapon.
The use of "reporting and accusation of a crime may be used as a weapon in itself toward those totally innocent of said crime. Whatever happened to "innocent before PROVEN guilty"?
Firearms are simply an object. They may be used in the same manner as any tool, chemical, or activity.
The "problem" has shown itself to be world-wide (see Norway, etc). "Feel-good" vote getting legislation accomplishes little except to clog up appeals courts and not address the heart of the issue which may be VERY complex & need true study.
John Grey
How far will they go ?
January 15, 2013 | 09:48 PM
I can see background checks for used guns being ok but a criminal will sell another criminal a used gun no matter what they what laws are passed.I don't see what this achieves at all . Will this include Rimfire .22 too ? How about hi-power Air rifles ? you can get .357 air guns now .Will we need permits for air guns .
gun control
January 17, 2013 | 04:45 PM
I one must be pragmatic. one must make a law to control guns. Make the gun owner responsible for the guns safety. If the firearms owner is tried in court next to the killer as an accomplice the firearms owner will be more likely to use a trigger lock and to keep the guns in a proper gun safe when not in use as a hunting weapon or as a concealed arm. The first trial of this kind will make all gun holders conscious of their responsibility for our safety..

It's graduation weekend for local high school students with ceremonies kicking off Friday.
The ceremonies Saturday start at 9:00 a.m. at Minges Coliseum. Four graduation commencements are scheduled Saturday for J.H Rose, Ayden-Grifton, North Pitt and D.H Conley.
Friday night it was Farmville Central and South
Central seniors putting on caps and gowns. Farmville Central student Isaiah Brown says the road to his diploma wasn't easy, but he brought his GPA. up to a 3.5 by the end of his senior year.
Even though he's excited for what's next, he says there's plenty he'll miss from his high school experience.
"The people, the friends. the look on the teachers' faces when they pass back your grades and you got an A, because it makes their day as much as it makes yours," said Isaiah Brown.
Brown says he plans to go to Pitt Community College for a year, before attempting to walk on to the football team at East Carolina University.
Feel free to give a shout out to your friends and family graduating in eastern Carolina this weekend by leaving a comment on this story.

There are many reasons why you should take the SAT. Firstly, the SAT objectively tests what you know and what you have learned. Since the test is very fair and measures each student using the same criteria, it can be used by college admission staff during their admission processing. It is important to have an objective measurement standard in order to assess students' academic abilities instead of relying on grades. Grades can be deceptive due to different grading scales and different requirements for students across the country. An "A" in one school district may not be equal to an "A" in another school district. The SAT is a way to level the playing field.
Your SAT scores will also be used by a college in order to determine your readiness for college level courses. In addition, you personally can use your SAT scores to determine how well you would fit in at a certain college. Because each college has different admission standards and acceptable SAT scores, you can use your SAT scores to help you in the college application process. You can go to http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator to see what SAT scores each school accepts. For example, if you type Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in the search box, you will find out a lot of information about that particular school. Click on the admissions box and you will discover that 50% of the students at that particular college scored between 400-530 on the Critical Reading portion of the SAT. On the other hand, admissions information on this website says that 50% of Harvard students scored between 690-800 points in the Critical Reading portion of the test. If you have scored a 700 on the Critical Reading portion of the test, you might want to consider applying to Harvard instead of Kutztown.
Your SAT scores can also help to connect you with various financial aid and scholarship groups. Anything that can help you to manage the cost of getting a college education is very important and should not be underestimated.
If you are interested in learning more about the admission requirements of specific colleges or getting scholarship information, you will definitely want to take the SAT. Different financial aid and scholarship companies will contact you and you may qualify for quite a bit of aid. Since affording a college tuition can be a challenge in these difficult economic times, any information on financial aid is a real bonus.
The most important reason to take the SAT is simply because most colleges will not consider your application without it. In order to maximize your chances at being accepted into the college of your choice, it is important to take the SAT.

I have had clamps in since September 2011 and now I may be pregnant. Can this really happen? If I'm pregnant for sure I will be happy.posted 06/15/2014 by rlightfoot201
Don't fret. My tubes have been clamped since March of 2005 and I am now 21 weeks and I am having a regular menstrual cycle on top of that. I got pregnant last year and miscarried after 4 mths. Prayer works is all I can tell you. My fiancee and I can't afford the procedures either so I will pray you get a blessing as I did. Also, if you suspect you are pregnant I suggest you wait until the 1st trimester might be over just to be sure before you tell anyone. Definitely, get checked out by the doctor.posted 05/06/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

Genius and tragedy seemed to go side by side in the lives of the 3 Bronte sisters...a melancholia born no doubt of her experiences of lifes frailty seem to permeate much of Emily Jane Brontes poems....This beautiful bitter sweet rather lyrical poem seems to cry out at the seemingly impossible dream of holding onto love....Alas poor emily Jane to be forever remembered for her "Wuthering Heights" was to die at the young age of thirty of tubercolosis....heres the link to the page with the sound file for this poem

Oh Dream, where art though now ?
Oh Dream,where art though now ?
Long years have ped away
Since last,from off thy angel brow
I saw the light decay
Alas,alas for me
Thou wert so bright and fair
I could not think thy memory
Would yield me nought but care
The sun-beam and the storm
The summer-eve divine
The silent night of solemn calm
The full moons cloudless shine
Were once entwined with thee
But now with weary pain
Lost vision! tis enough for me-
Thou canst not shine again
