Kane Smego is a spoken- word artist with the Sacrificial Poets, who performs an anti-Greenbridge piece. Smego teaches poetry at the Jackson Center. He challenges [Tim Toben]'s motives. "Gentrification isn't just the moving in or the changing of the demographic, but it's the changing of the demographic without understanding, without connection, without being a neighbor," Smego goes on. "Places are going to change, demographics are going to change, mat's the way of the world, but it's how it happens that matters. There's been a pretty clear idea that mere doesn't need to be a focus on Greenbridge," says Vaughn of St. Joseph CME Church and UNC Now. "It's finding alternative ways to really create a vision for community that ultimately needs to integrate Greenbridge, as well as everyone el...
PARKERSBURG - A stroll through the country gardens surrounding the home, potting shed and studio of artist Lynda Rhodes never fails to inspire her. The Little Kanawha River borders one side of the property near Parkersburg and a rail-to-trail path winds along the other. She captures birds, flowers, leaves and nests with her delicate watercolor palette and creates pastoral village scenes and whimsical snowmen to celebrate the winter season. The studio and shop is named Heaven and Nature, reflecting the spiritual connection and peace Rhodes finds in nature.
The first of their kind, two recent Supreme Court decisions- Lawrence v. Texas and Roper v. Simmons-extensively cite foreign law while overturning American constitutional precedents. These controversial rulings fuel a debate that has divided the Court for decades over the status of foreign and international law in interpreting the Constitution. Justice Breyer's transnationalist camp recognizes the relevance of foreign law as persuasive authority when dealing with fundamental rights (i.e., Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment guarantees). Justice Scalia's originalist camp contends that foreign law undermines our unique Constitution and describes such law as irrelevant to constitutional interpretation. Recent events have altered the Court's composition, upset a delicate ideological balance, an...
Some executives at natural-person credit unions are disappointed, discontented and even downright angry at the performance of corporate credit unions. Losses at some corporate CUs have dinged the balance sheets of member CUs at a time when assessments for the insurance fund and loan losses have spilled red ink over financial statements. That discontent is feeding a rethinking of whether corporate CUs are even necessary. Raymond Dowling, CCE, thinks corporates overall have failed to deliver value. $6 million First Security Credit Union in Lincoinwood, IL, has never seen a need for ties to a corporate CU, says CUES member Dennis A. Fisher, MBA, CCUE, CFSP, president/CEO. The current losses at the corporates and the cost to member credit unions is very unfortunate, but they have to balance...
Diamonds are a perceived value, they're not a true value. Some of the heirloom turquoise that I own, you'll never ever see it again because of the way that they're doing gold and copper mining right now," says [Robert Grey Kaylor]. "Now they're doing cyanide leech and it all just goes from a big dump into a truck into a cyanide lake and dissolves the turquoise. "It's not just like, 'Hey, I have a pair of cuff links on.' These used to be stuck in a telegraph pole," says Kaylor. "That's what I like to see, jewelry, or art in general, with a story behind it, not just a piece of art because I thought it was cool to do." That's not to say that Kaylor runs a folksy, small-time operation. His two-tiered gallery is filled with colorful glass artists, jewelry makers and furniture designers fro...
S. officials treaded carefully Monday in responding to Kim Jong- il's death amid concerns that the North Korean dictator's demise could trigger a succession struggle that would deepen uncertainty over the communist nation's nuclear arsenal. North Korea test-fired two short-range missiles Monday just hours after announcing Mr. Kim's death. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. is "in close touch" with other powers in the region monitoring the situation.
COVINGTON, La. - The dire impact of the massive Gulf spill was apparent Sunday on oil-soaked islands where pelicans nest as several of the birds splashed in the water and preened themselves, apparently trying to clean crude from their feet and wings. Pelican eggs were glazed with rust-colored gunk in the bird colony, with thick globs floating on top of the water. Nests sat precariously close to the mess in mangrove trees. As oil crept farther into the delicate wetlands in Barataria Bay off Louisiana, BP officials said Sunday that one of their efforts to slow the leak wasn't working as effectively as before.
An attempt to move the delicate stained-glass windows from the fellowship room of the Faith Christian Church to the congregation's undetermined home is a precarious task. The 102-year-old windows, one of which depicts the Biblical story of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the other of Jesus shown as the "Good Shepherd" holding a small lamb, were first moved in 1962 with the church from South Memphis to its current home at 4965 Willow Road.
