Cherokee museum opening Saturday in Walhalla
WALHALLA - Cherokee museum opening Saturday in Walhalla
WALHALLA Their name for themselves, Tsalagi, usually translates as "the real people." Their familiar name might derive from a Choctaw word "cha-la-kee," which translates as "those who live in the mountains." But they are best known as the Cherokee.
The Museum of the Cherokee will open Saturday in Walhalla, capping about four years of work by local volunteers to mark the history and contributions of the people who once inhabited this area of the Upstate.
"It'll be the only Native American museum in the state," said Luther Lyle, the museum's curator. "The Catawba have a reservation but they don't have a museum."
Some exhibits are in place, such as collections of arrowheads and spear points, but areas of the renovated building on Walhalla's Short Street still stand vacant, awaiting display cases whose delivery has been delayed.
"We have enough to keep our opening date," said Lyle, who months ago set this weekend for the grand opening.
The museum began as a roofless building that had been a law office dating from 1905, and the long restoration has been mostly the work of volunteers, such as Lyle and others.
For Geno Bishop of Greenville, a guitar technician with traveling bands, volunteering on the museum project was a way to get in touch with his own partial Cherokee ancestry.
"I read about the museum being started and just volunteered," Bishop said. "The Cherokee are part of my heritage and I wanted to learn more about them and donate my time to help so others could to."
In short order, he was sweating buckets jackhammering up the building's ruined floor, readying the building for restoration from the ground up. It was all worth it, Bishop said.
"It's been a learning experience, and a growing experience, learning about my ancestors and the people who lived with them," he said. "Hopefully, that's what others will learn as well."
About half of the artifacts already in the museum or soon to be there have been donated. The rest, according to Lyle, have been bought.
"We made sure they came from either South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia or Tennessee," Lyle said. "And we had to make sure they were authentic Cherokee."
Some artifacts, however, will not be Cherokee, but will figure into the interpretation of the area's American Indian heritage.
Among those exhibits will be clay pots donated by members of the Chickasaw tribe, including one found on the Pee Dee River estimated to be between 600 and 700 years old.
Also on display will be an 1802 map outlining the Cherokee-controlled lands of the Carolinas.
The map, given by an anonymous donor, was drawn by John Drayton of Charleston while he served as governor of South Carolina.The map shows the route called the Cherokee Trading Path intersecting the 1777 boundary of Cherokee territory where it crossed Oconee Mountain in what is now Oconee State Park.
The Cherokee boundary was later moved to the Chattooga River in 1816, when the remaining tribal lands between the mountain and the river were purchased by South Carolina for $5,000.
Some others will be reproductions, such as baskets and a notable set of set of Cherokee stickball equipment made by Cherokee tribal elder and craftsman Jerry Wolfe.
Native American stickball is considered the forerunner of the modern game of lacrosse.
Wolfe makes all the sticks for the Cherokee tribal team and is the national authority and Smithsonian consultant on the ancient game, according to Lyle.
Sets of the equipment made by Wolfe are on display at both the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C., and the British Museum in London.
The collection of reproductions also includes flutes and blowguns made by Cherokee craftsmen.
The Walhalla museum, organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, has been funded through a combination of grants and private donations of money or labor.
The grants were provided by the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor. "We couldn't have done this without their help," said Lyle.
The total cost of the effort, Lyle reckons, between grants and donations of money, materials and time lies between $150,000 and $200,000.
The opening ceremony begins at 10 a.m. Saturday on Short Street, in front of the museum.

Although the wording of the General Assembly's mandate places the matter of the nature of human life prior to that of its value, the temper of our times compels us to begin with the latter. The very list of specific issues cited by the General Assembly represents a widely shared conviction that the value of human life is being questioned, even attacked, from many quarters. We will see that the General Assembly exhibited signal wisdom in yoking the two issues of nature and value together, but it is the matter of the value of human life that needs exposition ...

Brian Austin Green has big plans for his upcoming two-year wedding anniversary with Megan Fox. They'll be returning to Hawaii where they tied the knot in June 2010.
"I think we'll be going back to where we got married. That's sort of our thing," the actor told PEOPLE Sunday at the Jaguar ALIVE Driving Experience in L.A.
"Last year when we went, they had one tier of the same wedding cake that we had, and they decorated the room the same, so it was special all over again. They do it right."
One thing the actor was less forthcoming about, though: persistent rumors that Fox, 25, is pregnant.
"They've been saying that every three months ever since we got married, and it's sort of one of those things that they love to say," Green, 38, said.

Jessica Chastain
She's always been easy on the eyes, and Jessica Chastain got all kinds of attention last night (July 13) at the 2014 Ischia Global Film & Music Festival in Ischia, Italy.
Joined by boyfriend Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, the "Zero Dark Thirty" dame donned a chick black dress with sheer paneling that showed off her ample bosom.
Enjoying the perks of the rich and famous, Jessica Chastain headed over to Ischia, Italy with boyfriend Gianluca Passi earlier this week (July 11).
The Oscar nominated actress looked amazingly chic in an all-black ensemble as she walked with her arm around her beau and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Ischia Global Festival.
Sure to pull on your heartstrings, Yahoo Movies released a brand new trailer for "The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby" over the weekend.
Making us very optimistic about this love story, the Ned Benson-directed film received a 10-minute standing ovation during its Cannes premiere last month.
Everyone seems to be changing up their hairstyle as of late, and Jessica Chastain decided on a vintage Brigitte Bardot bangy look for her crimson coif.
The "Zero Dark Thirty" dame took to her Instagram account to share photos of the new 'do along with a giddy caption.
Treating herself to a tasty meal, Jessica Chastain showed up at Crossroads restaurant in West Hollywood on Thursday evening (June 5).
The "Zero Dark Thirty" star smiled as she scurried inside, wearing a straw hat with a blue blouse and sunglasses.
Every year, amfAR caps off the Cannes International Film Festival with a celebrity-rich Cinema Against AIDS event, and on Thursday (May 22) it seemed like the A-list guests just kept filing in.
Marvelous models like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Bar Refaeli, Irina Shayk, Alessandra Ambrosio and Karlie Kloss wore swoon-worthy designer gowns and lit up the arrivals area outside the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc.
Everyone seemed to love the inaugural season of "True Detective," and creator Nic Pizzolatto has his work cut out for him with making round two as appealing.
To that end, Nerdest has reported that "Zero Dark Thirty" babe Jessica Chastain has been offered the lead role, picking up where Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson left off.
It's one of the most anticipated movies of the 67th Annual Cannes Film Festival and last night (May 19) "Foxcatcher" made its big debut.
Channing Tatum showed up at the well-attended event along with fellow stars Mark Ruffalo and Jessica Chastain, who looked gorgeous in a long lavender dress.
Teaming up for a fun-filled photocall, Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy cozied up in front of the cameras at the 67th Annual Cannes Film Festival on Sunday (May 18).
The "Zero Dark Thirty" dame and the "Wanted" hunk were in the house to promote their new movie "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby," slated to premiere as part of the festival lineup.
Happy Friday movie fans! The first trailer for Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated flick "Interstellar" hit the web this afternoon (May 16).
The film follows a group of scientists who expand the boundaries of space travel after discovering a wormhole.

Reflecting on the Making Process
My background is in experiential education. One of the strategies used in experiential education is debriefing or reflecting on the experience. In other words, learning from direct experience is not left to chance. The educator becomes proactive in debriefing or processing the experiences to increase the chances that learning occurs. This is in line with John Dewey's ideas:
'We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience.'
A recent research study published via Harvard Business Review concluded that:
- Learning from direct experience can be more effective if coupled with reflection-that is, the intentional attempt to synthesize, abstract, and articulate the key lessons taught by experience.
- Reflecting on what has been learned makes experience more productive.
- Reflection builds one's confidence in the ability to achieve a goal (i.e., self-efficacy), which in turn translates into higher rates of learning. (http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/7498.html)
In line with reflecting on experiences, I developed a list of questions and a board game (I love using board games in my classrooms of all ages from elementary to graduate level!) to help with reflecting on the maker process following the completion of maker projects. The purpose of these tools is to increase the possible learning and insights that learners extract from their maker projects.
A Maker Reflection: The Game
Learning at school? What's wrong with this picture?
What does learning look like in school environments? What is wrong with the following pictures?
Mohamed, a self-assured kid with thick-framed glasses and a serious expression, had just started at MacArthur High School a few weeks ago. The Irving, Tex., ninth-grader has a talent for tinkering — he constructs his own radios and once built a Bluetooth speaker as a gift for his friend — and he wanted to show his new teachers what he could do. So on Sunday night, he quickly put together a homemade digital clock ("just something small," as he casually put it to the Dallas Morning News: a circuit board and power supply connected to a digital display) and proudly offered it to his engineering teacher the next day. "They took me to a room filled with five officers in which they interrogated me and searched through my stuff and took my tablet and my invention," the teen said. "They were like, 'So you tried to make a bomb?' I told them no, I was trying to make a clock. "I really don't think it's fair because I brought something to school that wasn't a threat to anyone," Mohamed said. "I didn't do anything wrong. I just showed my teachers something, and I end up being arrested later that day." ('They thought it was a bomb': 9th-grader arrested after bringing a home-built clock to school.)
. . . and in 2013, Kiera Wilmot, a Black, Female student, was arrested for her science experiment:
16-year-old Kiera Wilmot became curious after a friend told her about a reaction that would happen if she mixed hydrochloric acid and aluminum. In a small water bottle, she mixed toilet bowl cleaner with aluminum foil–a bang, a blown bottle top, and a small puff of smoke came out of the reaction. Hundreds of videos of similar experiments appear on YouTube. Shortly after the incident, the school's assistant principal questioned Wilmot's science teacher who said he didn't know anything about the experiment. Then the assistant principal called the police. Despite her intellectual thirst for scientific knowledge, Kiera didn't receive a pat on the back for her curiosity nor did she receive a warning not to try this again on the school campus unless under the supervision of her science teacher. No people were physically harmed and no property was damaged during the incident. But Kiera was expelled from Bartow High School and slapped with two felony charges – possession/discharge of a weapon on school grounds and discharging a destructive device. (Kiera Wilmot, 16, Arrested at School after Failed Science Experiment)
. . . and Paris Gray, a Black, model student, was about to graduate:
Paris Gray, upstanding vice president of her about-to-graduate high-school class in Jonesboro, Georgia, when administrators figured out what her yearbook quote meant. It read: When the going gets tough, just remember to Barium, Carbon, Potassium, Thorium, Astatine, Arsenic, Sulfur, Uranium, Phosphorus translated to when the going gets tough, just remember to [Ba][C][K] [Th][At] [As][S] [U][P]. "Basically, it was me just saying start all over again," she said. Administrators barred Gray from participating in a senior walk on Friday, Willis reported. She was also supposed to speak at the upcoming graduation ceremony, but Gray said an assistant principal told her that was off. "It just completely destroyed me," Gray said, "and my mom's been telling me don't let it ruin my happiness, but it's, like, really taking a big toll." (The Chemistry Joke That Got a Student Suspended)
. . . and although less dramatic, harmful, and painful, there was this from the brilliant Jack Andraka, when at 15 he discovered a test for pancreatic cancer:
And, so, I'm really fascinated by carbon nanotubes. I was reading this really interesting paper in biology class, and all of the sudden, we were learning about these new things called antibodies. So then I though, in my biology class, I was just sitting there behind my desk looking at this little paper, I thought, "What if I put this antibody in a network of carbon nanotubes?" just wildly, on a whim. And then it hit me. Amazing. I was very very happy. My biology teacher wasn't as happy when she found me reading a paper instead of writing an essay on biology class. (Detecting Pancreatic Cancer… at 15)
I have said and will continue to say that the biggest ethical travesty of our times is "teaching" the spirit and passion out of a learner.
Examining Your Beliefs About Digital Youth
This weekend I attended a conference presentation entitled, Cultural Imposition: When Digital Immigrant Therapists See Digital Native Clients (yep, I know there is some push back against the terms of digital natives and digital immigrants). It's focus was understanding digital youth as a unique culture. It got me thinking, though, about the assumptions that adults who work with and teach youth make about their digital use and behaviors.
Guiding Questions for Examining Teaching Practices Within a Context of Digital and Social Media Use:
- How does the social-cultural phenomena of digital access and use affect your work as an educator?
- What are your assumptions about the use of digital technology and social media?
- What issues about social media have emerged in your work with students?
- What are your thoughts about digital communication?
Educators way too often make unquestioned assumptions about digital youth and their use of social media:
- Texting is generally bad – it stifles both written and spoken language.
- Genuine communication and attachment cannot occur through social media.
- Wikipedia and Youtube are generally not sources of valid information.
- Sharing personal information publically is undesirable.
- Online multiplayer games keep young people from doing productive things with their lives; they are escapes from the reality-the real world.
These beliefs or assumptions are absolutes and often signify biases of those who not of the digital youth cultures. To these assumptions, one must ask, "Who says?" or "According to whom?" They can and should be examined within a framework and context of a digital youth culture. This would help educators and others who work with them having a greater understanding of their media use patterns and the meaning of these patterns from the perspective of the youth themselves.
What is culture?
The ACA Code of Ethics defines culture as "membership in a socially constructed way of living, which incorporates collective values, beliefs, norms, boundaries and lifestyles." Although specific definitions of culture vary depending on the source, cultural components consistently include language, cuisine, music, dress, government, gestures, grooming and technology.
I believe and discussed that educators should be ethnographers of their learners. The effective educator learns about the cultures of their learners and uses their knowledge to design instruction, suggest resources, propose learning strategies based on those cultures.
In doing this type of examination, the following might be considered:
- Educators may discover that they view actions of digital youth and their tech use as devious-undesirable without understanding the motivations.
- By not allowing tools/strategies that digital youth use on a daily basis, educators may inadvertently be alienating them.
- When we make school policies about technology in the learning environment, why aren't the thoughts and ideas of the digital youth in those classrooms considered?
It is important for adults who work with digital youth to see that culture through the eyes of the youth and whenever possible and feasible to bring aspects of the digital youth culture into the learning environment. If the adults in young people's lives gain a greater understanding of the use and meaning of digital media, they can offer (offering as in suggesting not insisting) youth ways to navigate the digital world for learning, for positive identity development, and for developing a positive online presence. Digital youth can benefit from the adults who can help them develop tools and strategies for facilitating positive coping and navigation in the digital environment. But this can only occur if those adults have a deep and realistic view of the behaviors of digital youth.
Team Building Activities That Support Maker Education, STEM, and STEAM
Working as a productive and sensitive member of a team is looked upon by STEM-based companies as being a requirement to being an effective and contributing employee:
As technology takes over more of the fact-based, rules-based, left-brain skills—knowledge-worker skills—employees who excel at human relationships are emerging as the new "it" men and women. More and more major employers are recognizing that they need workers who are good at team building, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity, according to global forecasting firm Oxford Economics. Other research shows that the most effective teams are not those whose members boast the highest IQs, but rather those whose members are most sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others. (http://fortune.com/2015/03/05/perfect-workplace/)
In academia, the majority of research in STEM fields is conducted through collaborations and working groups, where a diversity of ideas need to be proposed and analyzed to determine the best strategy(ies) for solving a problem. In the technology sector, product development is done as a team, with specific roles for each individual but its success is predicated on each member of the team providing a different skill set / perspective. Thus, students who are interested in both academia and industry will benefit from learning how to successfully work in a diverse team. (https://teaching.berkeley.edu/diversity-can-benefit-teamwork-stem#sthash.mHRBJQtV.dpuf)
What follows are some team building activities that use collaboration to explore and solve STEM-related challenges. Note that most of them require minimal supplies – costs.
Great Egg Drop
To begin, assemble groups of 4 or 5 and give each group various materials for building (e.g. 5-20 straws, a roll of masking tape, one fresh egg, newspaper, etc.) Instruct the participants and give them a set amount of time (e.g. 30 minutes) to complete building a structure, with the egg inside in which the structures are dropped from at least 10 feet in elevation and then inspected to see if the eggs survived. The winners are the groups that were successful in protecting the egg. (http://eggdropproject.org/ and http://www.group-games.com/team-building/great-egg-drop.html)
Marshmallow Tower
Give teams of 4 to 6 learners 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow. Given a time frame of about 20 minutes, the groups must build the tallest free-standing structure out of The marshmallow needs to be on top. (http://marshmallowchallenge.com/Welcome.html)
Marble Run
The challenge is to create a marble track using the given materials and have the marble land in an 8" square and remain there. Give groups of 4 to 6 students: 1 piece of cardstock, 3 straws, 1 piece of string, 3 sheets of paper, 5 mailing labels, 4 paper clips, 3 rubber bands, and 2 pencils to complete this this task. (http://www.homeschoolcreations.net/2013/04/marble-track-instant-challenge-logic-for-kids/)
Drop the Golf Ball
Give each group of 4 to 6 learners 12 straws, 18 inches of masking tape and a golf ball. The goal is to build a container that will catch a golf ball dropped from about ten feet. Each group selects a "ball dropper" who stands on a chair and hold the golf ball at eye level. Each team places its container on the floor under where they think the ball will land. Each group gets three attempts and the group that gets a ball to go into their container and stay wins. (http://icebreakerideas.com/icebreakers-high-school-students/)
Straw Bridge
The challenge is for groups (3-5 members each) to design and construct a model of a single-span bridge using plastic drinking straws and masking tape as the building materials. The bridge is to span a distance of 40 cm, with no supporting pillars to the ground in between the ends of the span, and be approximately 10 cm wide. It needs to be strong enough to support a suitable load. This might be a book, a can of food, or other object of suitable weight placed on the middle of the completed structure. See Straw Bridge Challenge Worksheet: http://cteteach.cteonline.org/portal/default/Curriculum/Viewer/Curriculum?action=2&cmobjid=197387.
Toy Hacking Team Challenge
This is based on Toy Take Apart. In the Toy Hacking Team Challenge, each group of 3 to 4 members is given three or four battery-operated toys. Their task is to take all their toys apart and then using at least a few parts of each toy create a new toy or invention.
Construct a Chair
This activity asks groups of 3 to 5 members to design and build a full-sized chair from corrugated cardboard (and a mat knife) that could support the weight of a person up to 150 lbs. for up to 5 minutes. The person seated will be in a "comfortable" position with his/her back leaning against the back of the chair. (http://mschangart.weebly.com/architecture/card-board-chair-design-challenge)
DIY Instrumentals
Learners make instruments from recycled or natural materials. See http://www.howweelearn.com/spectacular-homemade-musical-instruments/ recycled materials for ideas. Separate learners in small groups of 4 to 6 members in each group. Inform them that they will be performing a musical piece using all of their DIY instruments for the rest of the group. After a practice time, bring groups back together for the performances.
Sneak a Peek
Build a small sculpture or design with some of the building material and hide it from the group. Divide the group into small teams of two to eight members each. Give each team enough building material so that they could duplicate what you have already created. Place the original sculpture in a place that is hidden but at an equal distance from all the groups. Ask one member form each team to come at the same time to look at the sculpture for five seconds in order to try to memorize it as much as possible before returning to his/her team.
After they run back to their teams, they have twenty-five seconds to instruct their teams how to build the structure so that it looks like the one that has been hidden. After the twenty-five seconds, ask each team to send up another member of their group who gets a chance to "sneak a peek" before returning to their team. Continue in this pattern until one of the teams successfully duplicates the original sculpture. (http://www.teambuildingportal.com/games/sneek-peek)
Today's Education Should Be About Giving Learners Voice and Choice
Some of the recurring themes of my conference presentations and blog posts include:
- Schools are doing Education 1.0; talking about doing Education 2.0; when they should be planning Education 3.0
- We are living in an age of information abundanc
- It is important to facilitate learner agency
The underlying theme of all of my ideas, of all of my blog posts is about setting up the conditions where learners' choice and voice flourish. I have come to believe that the only real education is one that fully embraces learner choice and voice. All instructional practices in this era of learning should revolve around learner choice and voice:
Education works when people have opportunities to find and develop unaccessed or unknown voices and skills. Audre Lorde poignantly describes this "transformation of silence into language and action [as] an act of self-revelation." Opportunities for flexibility and choice assist learners in finding passion, voice, and revelation through their work. (http://www.edutopia.org/blog/student-choice-leads-to-voice-joshua-block)
Internet accessibility, technologies that permit the user-generated media, and social media allow for unlimited potential for learner choice and voice.
Learner Choice can be facilitated through:
- Giving learners choice in how they want to learn content including through videos, text-based resources, podcasts, hands-on modules, or human interactions (see UDL's multiple means of representation).
- Giving learners choices to show what they know-what they learned through anything from writing a paper to creating a multimedia presentation to creating a performance art work (see UDL's multiple means of action and expression).
- Giving learners choice to study topics based on personal interests (see Interest Fuels Effortless Engagement).
- Being a tour guide of learning possibilities – showing learners the possibilities and then get out of the way (see https://usergeneratededucation.wordpress.com/2015/07/26/show-learners-the-possibilities-and-then-get-out-of-the-way/).
Learner Voice can be facilitated by:
- Giving learners an opportunity to use their unique voices to show what they know-what they learned (see UDL's multiple means of action and expression).
- Giving learners options to use their voice in a way that works best for them. Some may want to write, some may want to use art, photos, videos, and others may want to talk.
- Helping learners find authentic audiences with whom they can share their voice.
- Giving learners a say in how their school and classroom operate – being part of a democratic process.
As John Dewey notes (as is often the case, he says it best):
The essence of the demand for freedom is the need of conditions which will enable an individual to make his own special contribution to a group interest, and to partake of its activities in such ways that social guidance shall be a matter of his own mental attitude, and not a mere authoritative dictation of his acts.
– John Dewey

An actor whose well-scrubbed Midwestern good looks have served him well in a wide variety of roles, Bradley Whitford was born in Madison, WI, on October 10, 1959. Whitford developed an interest in acting while in high school, and after graduating in 1977, he attended Wesleyan University, where he majored in English and Theater. After completing his studies at Wesleyan, he went on to receive a master's degree in Theater from the Juilliard Theater Center, and began pursuing an acting career in New York. Whitford made his screen debut in 1985 in a low-budget thriller called Dead As a Doorman, but received a good bit more attention for a supporting role in a 1986 TV movie, C.A.T. Squad, directed by William Friedkin. In 1987, Whitford appeared in both the New York and Los Angeles productions of Sam Shepard's drama Curse of the Starving Class; while in L.A. with the play, Whitford was cast as Jack Ford in the TV movie The Betty Ford Story. After returning to New York, Whitford continued to alternate stage roles with film assignments, and by the early '90s was appearing in a steady stream of supporting roles in such films as Presumed Innocent, A Perfect World, and Philadelphia. However, Whitford soon began scoring more substantial roles on television, including a recurring role as Norman Gardner on the series NYPD Blue and a memorable turn as a distraught father-to-be on the Emmy-award winning "Love's Labor's Lost" episode of E.R. In 1999, Whitford's finally scored the role that made him famous when he was cast as Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman on the TV series The West Wing (created by Aaron Sorkin, whose play A Few Good Men had featured Whitford in its Broadway cast). Whitford's work on the series eventually earned him an Emmy Award in 2001; the same year, he was also recognized as part of the show's ensemble cast by the Screen Actor's Guild Awards (also honored with Whitford was John Spencer, who had appeared with him in the movie Presumed Innocent).
Whitford appeared in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in 2005, as well as the critically acclaimed comedy drama Bottleshock in 2008. The actor enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in 2012 for his turn as a ruthless, yet oddly likable businessman in director Joss Whedon's popular horror comedy Cabin in the Woods.

Responding to the federal repeal of the military policy banning open gays from serving in the armed forces, a state lawmaker in Virginia plans to fight back with legislation that bars "active homosexuals" from serving in the Virginia National Guard.
Delegate Robert G. Marshall said the Constitution reserves states with the authority to do so and that he'll introduce a bill in the state General Assembly next year that ensures the "the effect of the 1994 federal law banning active homosexuals from America's military forces will apply to the Virginia National Guard."
"With the repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell,' President Obama seeks to pay back his homosexual political supporters," the Prince William County Republican said, echoing a sentiment shared by many of the repeal's most ardent opponents. "This policy will weaken military recruitment and retention, and will increase pressure for a military draft."
"The Constitution never would have been ratified if states were not [guaranteed] unqualified control of the militia, now called the National Guard," he said.
But Claire Gastanaga, legislative counsel for Equality Virginia, a gay-rights group, said the National Guard is a federal military unit subject to the same rules as other federal military units and that "any state statute seeking to set different standards for the Virginia National Guard would be a nullity with no effect."
"It is a shame that Delegate Marshall would dishonor the brave men and women serving in our National Guard by seeking to make political points at their expense and waste the time of his colleagues in the Virginia General Assembly, who have pressing matters to attend to, like balancing the budget and finding solutions to the traffic problems that are the real and present concern of his constituents," she said.
Mr. Marshall announced his plans shortly after eight Senate Republicans joined almost all the chamber's Democrats to repeal the ban on a 65-31 vote, setting up the end of the 17-year-old "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
The next step will be for the military to complete a readiness review and for Mr. Obama, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen to certify - as expected - that the change won't hurt readiness or unit cohesion.
The fallout from the vote continued on Sunday's political talk shows, with both parties returning to familiar arguments. Republicans noted that three of the four service chiefs have expressed reservations about repeal, while Democrats said the policy was a blot on the nation's reputation and that the repeal was a long-overdue push toward equality.
"This shows me that America has come to a point where it understands that sexual orientation should not be used against you," Sen. Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, said on "Fox News Sunday."
The "don't ask, don't tell" policy was issued by the Defense Department under President Clinton as a compromise way of enforcing the ban on homosexuality in the ranks that had existed in one or another form for decades but which Congress voted to make a part of the law in 1993.
Since then, more than 14,000 troops have been dismissed under the ban, some of whom took vocal roles in the repeal effort.
A leading figure in Virginia's conservative circles, Mr. Marshall is "seriously" considering a 2012 bid for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Jim Webb, who supported repeal. In 2008, he narrowly lost his bid to be the party's U.S. Senate nominee to former Gov. James S. Gilmore III at the Republican convention.
But the near upset underscored how his political stock has risen in recent years, in which he's been involved in some of the state's most high-profile legislative and legal battles.
In 2006, he spearheaded the push to get on the ballot an amendment to the state constitution defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman. In 2008, he led a successful state-constitution challenge to a bipartisan transportation deal brokered that had handed an unelected body the power to levy taxes to raise millions of dollars for road projects in Northern Virginia. This year, he sponsored the bill that challenged the federal government's authority to mandate that every resident purchase health insurance.

The Wauwatosa School Board got a lesson in butterfly populations and heard a plea for help from Friends of the Monarch Trail co-founders Barb Agnew and Jim Price this week.
School Board President Michael Meier said he would seek advice from within the district about what kind of program might work, serving both butterflies and education.
The chief outcome of a program involving the district might be planting flowering plants and milkweed.
Monarchs eat almost exclusively the nectar of flowering plants, Price said, and lay eggs only on milkweed plants. The larvae of monarchs — caterpillars — eat only milkweed.
The loss of prairie to development and expanding cropland, chiefly for corn production, has had a devastating effect on the monarch population. On the County Grounds near the Eschweiler Buildings, typically a summer home for monarchs, only a handful were observed this year, Agnew said.
The development of the County Grounds has changed butterfly habitat, despite a butterfly preserve at Innovation Campus. But the loss locally is also a microcosm of what's happening globally.
Wintering sites in Mexico, measured in area occupied, were at nearly 21 hectares — about 51 acres — in 1996-97. In the current winter, it's about 1.6 acres, Price said. The monarch butterfly is on the brink of extinction, he said.
Agnew said some progress has been made by working with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation on improving connectivity of parcels and developing a pilot project for "butterfly-friendly" landscaping. Involving the schools would be another step in improving prospects for the monarch.
A rain garden was created at Jefferson Elementary School in 2004, but Price said that while developing a monarch waystation is inexpensive, it takes work to keep them up.
Agnew said monarch raising and cultivation in classrooms has proved engaging, especially for younger students, and that it could be enriching for older kids as part of a STEM program, which emphasizes science, technology, engineering and math.
Population studies, environmental analysis, field work and monitoring all call on such skills.

Is 3 middle names too much or okay?
Okay, so here are my two faves for a girl and a boy. I'd like to know people's opinions on them, good or bad! I like long names, but I'm concerned about bullying, etc.
Girl: Aurora Niaṁ Elowen Edda
Boy: Apollo Blaize Kristeva Quillon
Niaṁ is pronounced neev, Quillon is pronounced quill-un, everything else is pronounced how it's spelt.
Nicknames would probably be Rory and Olly.

I think unless you're royalty that two middle names is kind of the maximum.Mother to: Patrick Werner (3/10) , Mary Claire (06/12) and Margaret Rose (05/15)

Like the above poster said, there is no particular reason for someone outside of royalty to use more than two middle names, so it kind of seems like overkill; however, I think that you can really do what you want. Your name choices are really pretty and unique and I think they flow pretty well together. I doubt that kids would be bullied for their middle names; you just don't use middle names enough for them to be common knowledge. The only time my middle name has ever been broadcasted, so far, was in my high school graduation (I went to a tiny school). If your kids really had a problem with all their middle names being used for some formal occasion or another, they could just, for instance, request that only the first one go on their diploma/wedding invitation/etc.Arthur • Bernard • Reuben • Theophile

I find myself finding many combos with two middle names a mouthful, more than two would definitely be a big mouthful. I feel that with several middle names it sounds more like a list of names. I find saying complete combos (including the surname) out-loud very helpful. Getting your spouse, a family member, or friend to do it can be very helpful. Sometimes it is best hearing the combos come from someone else's voice.Piers Lachlan | Gray Everett | Tadhg Wilder

French. A lot of famous Italian and French actors, writers, scientists, etc. had three or four middle names, maybe even more. Rudolph Valentino had four middle names and three last names, if I remember correctly. It does seem rather exotic and "glam", but yeah, I wouldn't recommend using more than two in general.~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3

Girls: Azalea, Cordelia, Elizabeth, Rosalind, Scarlett, Portia, Felicity, Juliet
Boys: Fitzwilliam, Sebastian, Percival, Prospero, Orlando, Darcy

Here's a cool passage on "forgotten great-grandmothers", from a new book I came across on Amazon this weekend:
"We carry the past around with us all the time, and not just in our bodies. It lives also in our customs, including the way we speak. The past is a set of invisible lenses we wear constantly, and through these we perceive the world and the world perceives us. We stand always on the shoulders of our ancestors, whether or not we look down to acknowledge them.
"It is disconcerting to realize how few of our ancestors most of us can recognize or even name. You have four great-grandmothers, women sufficiently close to you genetically that you see elements of their faces, and skin, and hair each time you see your reflection. Each had a maiden name she heard spoken thousands of times, and yet you probably cannot recall any one of their maiden names. If we are lucky, we may find their birth names in genealogies or documents, although war, migration, and destroyed records have made that impossible for many Americans. Our four great-grandmothers had full lives, families, and bequeathed to us many of our most personal qualities, but we have lost these ancestors so completely that we cannot even name them. How many of us can imagine being so utterly forgotten just three generations from now
by our own descendents that they remember nothing of us--not even our names?"
David W. Anthony, 'The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World' (Princeton University Press, 2007), pp. 3-4.
