In 2002, Herrington became the first enrolled member of the Native American tribe to fly in space. This was abord the Space Shuttle Endeavor’s STS-113 mission. Tom Bee and Douglas Spotted Eagle Following a three-year lobbying effort by Ellen Bello, founder of the Native American Music Awards and the Native American Music Association, the Grammy award was first presented to Tom Bee and Douglass Spotted Eagle in 2001 as the producers of the compilation album Gathering of Nations Pow Wow. In 2011, the category Best Native American Music Album was eliminated along with thirty others and replaced. Native American works will now be eligible for the Best Regional Roots Music Album category.

    Options for Federal Judicial Screening Committees Second Edition September 2011 (2D

    Options for Federal Judicial Screening Committees Second Edition September 2011 (2d. ed.) OPTIONS FOR FEDERAL JUDICIAL SCREENING COMMITTEES: Where They Are in Place, How They Operate, and What to Consider in Establishing and Managing Them The Governance Institute, the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System at the University of Denver (IAALS), and Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution have revised the June 2010 first edition of this guide, and will continue to issue revisions periodically. It provides United States senators, other federal legislators, and their staffs with information about creating committees to screen potential judicial and law enforcement position nominees; provides them and committee members with information about committee operations; and provides others interested in federal judicial selection with information about an often- overlooked aspect of the process. It is not a “best practices” manual, in part because relatively little is known about how such committees work and even less about what seems to work best. The most current version of the guide is available at: www.du.edu/legalinstitute and www.brookings.edu/experts/wheelerr.aspx This guide was authored principally by: Russell Wheeler, president of the Governance Institute and a Visiting Fellow in the Brookings Institution’s Governance Studies program. He has served on the IAALS Board of Advisors since its creation in 2006. Rebecca Love Kourlis, executive director of IAALS. She served on Senator Ken Salazar’s screening committee and co-chaired the committee that Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet appointed to screen candidates for two District of Colorado vacancies. (Malia Reddick, director of judicial programs for the Institute, assists with ongoing revisions.) The Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS) is a national, independent research center dedicated to continuous improvement of the process and culture of the civil justice system.

    The Fifth Circuit Four: the Unheralded Judges Who Helped to Break Legal Barriers in the Deep South Max Grinstein Junior Divisio

    The Fifth Circuit Four: The Unheralded Judges Who Helped to Break Legal Barriers in the Deep South Max Grinstein Junior Division Historical Paper Length: 2,500 Words 1 “For thus saith the Lord God, how much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast.”1 In the Bible, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are said to usher in the end of the world. That is why, in 1964, Judge Ben Cameron gave four of his fellow judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit the derisive nickname “the Fifth Circuit Four” – because they were ending the segregationist world of the Deep South.2 The conventional view of the civil rights struggle is that the Southern white power structure consistently opposed integration.3 While largely true, one of the most powerful institutions in the South, the Fifth Circuit, helped to break civil rights barriers by enforcing the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education, something that other Southern courts were reluctant to do.4 Despite personal and professional backlash, Judges John Minor Wisdom, Elbert Tuttle, Richard Rives, and John Brown played a significant but often overlooked role in integrating the South.5 Background on the Fifth Circuit The federal court system, in which judges are appointed for life, consists of three levels.6 At the bottom are the district courts, where cases are originally heard by a single trial judge. At 1 Ezekiel 14:21 (King James Version).

    Arizona's Inspirational Women

    Arizona’s Inspirational Women Patch Program Guide ARIZONA’S INSPIRATIONAL WOMEN Patch Program Guide GREETINGS! The Arizona’s Inspirational Women Program is a collection of stories about women who have demonstrated a life-time of confidence, courage, and character and have made Arizona and our world a better place. By sharing these generational stories, we believe that current Girl Scouts will find hope and inspiration and learn about how they can also make our communities a better place. WHAT “INSPIRATIONAL” MEANS TO US » Lives by the Girl Scout Promise and Law » Is dedicated to a passion or a cause of choice » Stands up for what she believes in » Shows kindness and compassion towards other women and girls The activities included for the Arizona’s Inspirational Women Patch Program are structured around three components and are available for girls in all levels of Girl Scouts. You will work with your Troop Leaders to take-action through a hands-on activity that represents the inspirational woman’s life you are exploring. This program features numerous women that you can learn about--you may choose just one or as many as you’d like! By completing the activities for one or more of the women, you will earn the main patch, and the rocker with that woman’s name. Each year, a committee of volunteers will add worthy women to this patch program, so the list of women you can learn about will grow. Annually, GSACPC will host an event where we will announce the new women who have been added to the program that year.
