  • Ritual in the “Church of Baseball”: Suppressing the Discourse of Democracy After 9/11 Michael L
    Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies Vol. 2, No. 2, June 2005, pp. 107–129 Ritual in the “Church of Baseball”: Suppressing the Discourse of Democracy after 9/11 Michael L. Butterworth Baseball was among the most prominent American institutions to respond to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Tributes at ballparks across the country promised comfort to millions in shock but soon developed into rituals of victimization that affirmed the Bush administration’s politics of war, discouraged the expression of dissenting opinions, and burdened the nation with yet another disincentive to reflect constructively on its response to terrorism. This essay views the aftermath of 9/11 as a quasi-religious social drama in which ballpark tributes became a ritualized vehicle for a belligerent patriotism that sought unity at the expense of democratic discourse. Keywords: Baseball; Democracy; Patriotism; War on Terrorism; Rituals of Victimization On October 12, 2003, the Chicago Cubs and Florida Marlins played in the fifth game of baseball’s National League Championship Series. Thousands of Chicago fans, hoping to see their team end a 58-year World Series drought, made their way to Miami’s Pro Player Stadium and provided loyal and raucous support for the visiting Cubs. When the game reached the seventh-inning stretch, Cubs fans enthusiastically began singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” but they were quickly silenced by the stadium’s public address system and the remaining fans who belted out “God Bless America” instead. One fan in a Cubs hat and jersey lamented, “Come on, it’s a baseball game!” Only after the public display of patriotism had subsided were Cubs fans able to perform their song.1 Michael L.

  • “America's Irish Tenor”
    R R ONAN ONAN T YNAN T “America’s “America’s YNAN IrishIrish Tenor”Tenor” RONAN TYNAN “America’s Irish Tenor” Ronan Tynan is truly a modern day “Renaissance Man.” Faced with numerous challenges throughout his well documented life, he has persevered with enormous passion and determination. He attributes his success to his faith and the knowledge that the Man Above guides him through every door he opens. Though Ronan enjoyed singing as a boy, he did not seriously consider formal voice study until he was 33, when he was well into his residency as a physician. Ronan won both the John McCormack Cup for Tenor Voice and the BBC talent show Go For It less than one year after beginning the study of voice. The following year, he won the International Operatic Singing Competition in Maumarde, France. He made his operatic debut as Pinkerton in Puccini’s Madame Butterfly , and concert repertoire in performances of Verdi’s Requiem , Mendelssohn’s Elijah , Handel’s Messiah , Rossini’s Stabat Mater , and Puccini’s Messa di Gloria . In 1998, Tynan joined Anthony Kearns and John McDermott (later Finbar Wright) as The Irish Tenors, an instant worldwide sensation. Other than his concert schedule, Tynan has performed for countless dignitaries. Notable performances include: The 80th birthday celebration of former President George H.W. Bush in 2004, the Funeral of President Ronald Reagan in the summer of 2004, The White House Governors’ Ball in February 2007, The White House St. Patrick’s Day Reception in 2008 which was attended by members of the U.S.

  • Texas and National/International Disability Timeline: Significant Events 1776- 2010
    1 | P a g e TEXAS AND NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL DISABILITY TIMELINE: SIGNIFICANT EVENTS 1776- 2010 INTRODUCTION: This timeline presents events of historical significance from the birth of the United States to the present day. The focus is the history and achievements of people with disabilities in the state of Texas, nationally, and internationally. Where appropriate, the timeline uses people-first language, but in some instances has preserved historical terms that are derogatory by today‘s standards. These terms are included here in an effort to accurately reflect the context of the time in which they were used. TIMELINE FROM 1776-2010 1776 Stephen Hopkins is one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Many medical historians believe his signature on the Declaration – second in size only to that of John Hancock – is evidence that he had a disabling condition, possibly cerebral palsy. Hopkins is known for saying, ―my hands may tremble, my heart does not.‖ 1784 Valentin Huay, known as the father and apostle of the blind, established the Institution for Blind Children to help make life for people who were blind more tolerable. Huay also discovered that people who were blind could read text materials printed with raised letters. 1793 Phillipe Pinel, a physician at La Bicetre, an asylum in Paris, removes the chains attached to people with mental illnesses. Some had been chained to walls for more than 30 years. 1798 The First Military Disability Law was signed by John Adams for the relief of seamen who were sick and disabled. (July 16, 1798). 1800 Phillipe Pinel writes Treatise on Insanity in which he develops a medical classification for the major illnesses: melancholy, dementia, mania without dementia, mania without delirium, and mania with delirium.

  • Shemekia Copeland
    Shemekia Copeland In spite of her young age, Shemekia Copeland is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the blues. While still in her 20s, she has opened for the Rolling Stones, headlined at the Chicago Blues Festival, scored critics choice awards on both sides of the Atlantic, and shared the stage with such luminaries as Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Taj Mahal and John Mayer. Copeland’s passion for singing, matched with her huge, blast- furnace voice, gives her music a timeless power and a heart- pounding urgency. Born in Harlem in 1979, Copeland came to her singing career slowly. Her father, the late Texas blues guitar legend Johnny Clyde Copeland, recognized his daughter’s talent early on and brought her on stage to sing at Harlem’s famed Cotton Club when she was eight. Shemekia stepped out of her father’s shadow in 1998 with her debut recording, Turn the Heat Up!, and soon after appeared in the movie Three To Tango. Her song “I Always Get My Man” was featured in the film Broken Hearts Club, and her second album, Wicked, scored three Handy Awards and a Grammy nomination. She joined Telarc International this past February for her latest recording, Never Going Back. This new chapter in Copeland’s story represents a crossroads on her ongoing artistic journey. While she will always remain loyal to her blues roots, Never Going Back takes a more forward view of the blues, and in so doing points her music and her career in a new direction Michael Feinstein Michael Feinstein, one of the premiere interpreters of American popular song, has been a household name since the success of his 1988 one-man Broadway show, Isn’t It Romantic.
