Good evening, Class of 2011, and all of the families and friends here tonight. Students, if Edison could only harness the energy that is in this stadium tonight there certainly wouldn't be an energy crisis! Today your enthusiasm and excitement is duly noted and understood, because it is not every day you graduate from high school. Your parents, friends, and family too are looking happy and delighted, and that's just how it should be, because you have done well, and they are simply bursting with pride for you! They are probably also a little nostalgic as they think of you as infants, toddlers, children, and now beautiful and amazing young men and women. Please never forget all that you owe them for their love and support over the years. Like it or not, good or bad, you most likely wouldn...

Architects of the U.S. Constitution took care to make alterations difficult. Amendment of the Constitution may be proposed by a two- thirds vote of both houses of Congress or by a special convention petitioned by two-thirds of the state legislatures. Any proposed amendment must then be ratified either by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by three-fourths of special state conventions, as directed by Congress. Over the life of the Constitution, some 5,000 amendments have been introduced in Congress; 33 have been formally proposed for ratification; and only 27 were ratified. The average time for ratification has been two-and-a-half years. This burdensome amendment procedure should discourage tinkering with the Constitution on the whim or passion of the moment.

Stephen Bowen received a note from security at the Washington Redskins' team hotel last Sunday morning notifying him that his mother-in-law had died. She had suffered from muscular dystrophy, and her condition had steadily deteriorated. Hours later, he started at defensive end in the Redskins' loss to the New York Jets. It was another example of the toughness and commitment for which he was named the 2011 Redskins Ed Block Courage award winner.
Mark Sorsaia says he has the political courage other political leaders in West Virginia don't. The four-term Putnam County prosecuting attorney is one of eight Republicans competing for the party's nomination for governor in the May 14 special gubernatorial primary.
About 134 years before Lewis and Clark embarked on their mission to find a route to the Pacific, John Lederer, a 17th-century German physician and explorer, was probing the western Virginia wilderness for a similar purpose. He and the members of his party became the first Europeans to crest the Blue Ridge Mountains (1669) and the first to see the Shenandoah Valley and the Allegheny Mountains beyond (1670). Lederer may not have been the first European to reach the Valley of Virginia, but he was the first to publish an account of his discoveries. He was an astute observer of American Indian customs and beliefs, and his book was the first scientific report on the western portion of Virginia.
PATERSON -- A leading advocate for Arab-Americans who died unexpectedly of a heart attack was remembered Wednesday as an outspoken and sometimes brash champion who worked tirelessly to improve the lives of children and new immigrants. Hani Y. Awadallah, who led the city-based Arab American Civic Organization, was regarded as an important and unwavering voice of the Arab community in North Jersey. While his aggressive debating style might have come off as mean-spirited to some, those who knew him best said his approach was a reflection of how much he cared for the community.
