Agency History: During the Republic of Texas and until the Constitution of 1869, the office of coroner functioned primarily to identify homicides. In 1955 the Texas Legislature passed the Baker Bill which allowed counties with a population greater than 250,000 to establish an Office of Medical Examiner to assume those duties previously conducted by the Justices of the Peace. The revision of the Code of Criminal Procedure in 1965 mandated that counties with populations greater than 500,000 shall establish a Medical Examiner’s office. Currently, the statute requires counties of over 1,000,000 to establish a Medical Examiner’s office. Those counties with medical schools were exempted from the law. The Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 49.25, mandates the Medical Examiner to determine the cause and manner of death in all cases of accident, homicide, suicide, and undetermined death. In cases of natural death, when the person is not under a doctor’s care, or the person passes away in less than 24 hours after admission to a hospital, an institution, a prison, or a jail, the Medical Examiner must be notified. Harris County, although it had a medical school, was among the first counties to opt for a medical-examiner system.

Lawrence Raful Professor of Law Elijah the Prophet lived in Israel during the ninth and 10th century BCE (Before Common Era). Although his name does not grace the title of any of the biblical books of the major and minor prophets, throughout the ages he has become the central figure in Jewish traditions, a mysterious and beloved “everyman.” Elijah, in various disguises and roles, works for justice and performs miracles to help the poor and downtrodden. He is best known as part of an important ritual in the Passover meal, and he is said to be present at births and weddings. But Elijah’s most prominent role, perhaps the major reason that he has become so popular, is as the precursor, the forerunner, of the coming of the Messiah (see Malachi 3:24). It is for this reason that Jews everywhere greet the end of the Sabbath day and the beginning of a new week with a prayer that, God willing, Elijah the Prophet will appear this week, to herald the coming of the Messianic era.

  • Three Stories and Three Questions About Participation in Genocide Aliza Luft
    Three Stories and Three Questions about Participation in Genocide Aliza Luft On Behavioral Variation in Genocide y first time walking into the Mutobo Demobilization Center for ex-combatants in Musanze, Rwanda, I thought I would feel confident. After all, I had been reading and thinking about the Rwandan Genocide for six years, and Mabout genocide more generally since I was ten. I knew perpetrators were most often people like you and me – ordinary men and women caught up in awful situations who participated in gruesome crimes for countless reasons; some we knew and already had well-established evidence of (obedience to authority, peer pressure), and some we didn’t (what is the role of ethno-racial categories in genocide?). I therefore surprised myself when, walking past the detainees, I began to feel nervous and afraid. These men and women were my age, but they had murdered someone; I hadn’t. Could I ever truly understand what motivated them to kill? For better or worse, my initial trepidations quickly gave way to confusion. I met with one man, then another; I observed as a large group of men, boys, and women took lessons on national history and politics; I went for a walk with one woman, recently repatriated from Democratic Republic of Congo, and then sat with her and another woman as they showed me pictures of their children and described their experiences fleeing Rwanda in summer 1994 and, now, returning home. Repeatedly, as these ordinary Rwandans told me about their experiences during the genocide, I heard something new: Yes, I participated in the genocide.

  • 3700 Connecticut Avenue NW
    HISTORIC PRESERVATION REVIEW BOARD STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Landmark/District: Cleveland Park Historic District (X) Agenda Address: 3700 Connecticut Avenue NW ( ) Consent (X) Concept Meeting Date: January 26, 2017 ( ) Alteration Case Number: 17-216 (X) New Construction Staff Reviewer: Steve Callcott (X) Demolition ( ) Subdivision Murillo/Malnati Group LLC, with drawings prepared by Dynerman Architects, seeks concept review for demolition of a two-story frame house and construction of a three-story brick house in the Cleveland Park Historic District. Property Description The existing house at 3700 Connecticut Avenue was constructed in 1920 as one of three bungalow style houses designed by J.A. Moore for owner Catherine McCarron along Rodman Street. The property has been altered considerably over time, and in November 2006 (HPA 06- 377) the Board determined the house to be non-contributing due to significant alterations of the building's structure and the loss of numerous original and character defining features. As detailed in the November 2006 HPO report, the original side gable roof was removed during the 1960s and replaced with the current double-roof. The entrance was originally located on Rodman Street and included a full length porch with a stone base and wood columns; the porch has been enclosed and a new entrance and stoop added to the Connecticut Avenue elevation. Most of the original windows have been altered and the original wood clapboards have been covered with aluminum siding. In exchange for the conveyance of a small piece of land at the rear of site, the National Park Service holds an easement on the property that limits any new construction to a single-family home of the same general footprint as the existing house and with a maximum height of 40 feet.

  • A HISTORY of RAVENSWOOD Excerpt from the Bugle, a Publication of the Brentwood Historical Society August 2011 by Preston Bain
    A HISTORY OF RAVENSWOOD Excerpt from The Bugle, a publication of the Brentwood Historical Society August 2011 By Preston Bain Thomas Wilson immigrated to America from Ireland in the mid 1700’s and followed the migration trail down through Virginia and the Carolinas and finally over into Tennessee where he settled in the late 1700’s. His grandson, James Hazard Wilson II, who built Ravenswood was born in 1800 and would be one of several children by James Hazard Wilson, Sr. and Ruth Davidson Wilson. James II grew up in Williamson County and chose to remain here and start a family while his brother, Samuel, moved west to Texas and became one of the first Secretaries of State after it’s admission to the Union in 1845. In March of 1821, James Hazard Wilson II married his cousin Emeline Wilson. Prominent Tennessee and Texas historical figure Sam Houston served as the best man at his wedding. James and Emeline would settle in Brentwood and build their home in 1825. The home was christened Ravenswood in honor of their friend Sam Houston whose Cherokee Indian name was “the Raven”, most likely due to the jet black hair of his youth. Sam Houston ran away from home when he turned 16 and went to live with the Cherokee Indians near the Hiawassee River. The tribal chief became a father figure to Sam and gave him the Cherokee name Colonneh, meaning "the Raven”. Sam lived with the Cherokee for about 3 years before returning home to Maryville, TN and enlisting to fight in the War of 1812.
