The Echo: March 8, 2013 TAYLOR UNIVERSITY Weekly Edition Snowed out page 12 Elephants’ fate discussed at conference page 5 Celebrating 100 years as Taylor’s News Source Since 1913 1 Volume 100, Issue 18 Friday/Thursday, March 8-March 14, 2013 TheEchoNews.com ‘Taylor Confessions’ makes waves Meredith Sell Features Editor Jon Stroshine News Editor Angelina Burkholder L&T Editor Taylor has confessions to make. A lot of them. A Facebook page called “Taylor Confessions” took campus by storm this week. The page, created Monday, had 194 likes and 98 anonymous confessions as of last night. What started as confessions of breaking the soft-serve ice cream machine in the DC and disregarding the LTC’s no dancing policy quickly escalated into admissions of low self-esteem, same-sex attraction and suicidal thoughts, with some claiming the Taylor community offers no support for their problems. The page contains a link to a website where Facebook us- ers can anonymously submit confessions. “There is so much fear against the rules that the Life To- gether Covenant imposes upon you,” said the page’s admin- istrator, who self-identified as a sophomore male, via Skype. “My goal with this page was not necessarily for humor or en- tertainment . We really wanted to see c h a n ge .” After receiving a submission, the administrator said he Continued on page 6 Capture Beauty Week encourages discussion Hannah Anderson Contributor This past week, Women’s Programming Cabinet hosted Cap- ture Beauty Week, an event tailored for Taylor ladies. The title “capturing beauty” can be seen by some as vain and superficial. Former Women’s Programming Cabinet and current Olson Hall Director, Lisa Barber, explains that the week is not necessarily about beauty. In fact, this year the theme was “Bloom where you are planted: Growing into a Infographic by McLean Roberts woman of God”. The speakers included a smattering of Taylor professors including Edward Meadors, Faye Chechowich and Cathy Leever and Owens set to move in Weatherspoon.

  • Hines Ward Discovers a New Fan Base Dancing with Stars
    Hines Ward discovers a new fan base dancing with stars Monday, May 23, 2011 By Maria Sciullo, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette LOS ANGELES -- Hines Ward's foxtrot proficiency might not sound as crucial as being able to outleap a Baltimore Ravens defensive back, but "at this time in his career, it's all- important," said Andrew Ree, his manager. Mr. Ward, 35, and professional partner Kym Johnson, 34, will compete tonight in the finale of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars." They won't learn who takes home the cheesy but much-coveted "Mirrorball Trophy" until Tuesday night, but having just reached this point in Season 12 makes the Steelers wide receiver a winner. National Football League lockout or no lockout, there are not many seasons left on the playing field for Mr. Ward. He said he is keenly aware that DWTS has upped his recognition factor. "I mean, you can't buy this kind of exposure," he said before a recent rehearsal outside Adam Taylor/Associated Press of CBS Television City. "You know, I'm getting into a new fan base." Hines Ward and his partner Kym Johnson compete during the He stopped to smile at what was once an absurd notion: "When I walk through a mall, competition "Dancing with the people recognize me for my dancing skill."

Nielsen/E-Poll N-Scores are weekly rolling surveys of 1,100 respondents age 13 and up. It is a comprehensive evaluation of the overall endorsement potential of an individual sports personality, combining the measure of awareness and appeal - - how strongly one likes or dislikes the subject -- as well as specific personal attributes and other factors such as whether he or she is "approachable," "funny" or has "good energy." These polls are conducted in 30 markets, including Pittsburgh.

  • Pressbook “God's Not Dead 2”
    PRESSBOOK “GOD’S NOT DEAD 2” Quanto sei disposto a rischiare per difendere quello in cui credi? PREMESSA Secondo quale criterio si stabilisce quali argomenti possano essere affrontati pubblicamente e quali debbano invece essere discussi in forma esclusivamente privata? In cosa consistono la libertà di espressione e di parola? Fino a che punto il diritto a difendere i propri valori non invade la sfera di libertà altrui? Quando i fatti storici cessano di essere tali a causa dell’orientamento ideologico di un’élite e si resta soli a sostenere quello che si ritiene essere una verità oggettiva, fino a che punto si è disposti a difendere il proprio pensiero, anche a costo di compromettere la propria vita privata e professionale? E’ questo incipit di GOD’S NOT DEAD 2, il nuovo legal thriller distribuito da Dominus Production, al cinema dal 2 Marzo 2017. GOD’S NOT DEAD 2, ambientato in una corte di giustizia statunitense, è ispirato ad una causa legale reale e affronta il delicato tema della difesa del diritto alla libertà di espressione e di opinione, mostrando un quadro di insidiosa discriminazione ideologica subita dai cristiani nella società contemporanea. Il film evidenzia, inoltre, il pericolo di ideologizzazione dei canali comunicazione con la conseguente deformazione non solo delle informazioni ma anche degli accadimenti storici. Missione del film è invitare lo spettatore ad interrogarsi sui grandi valori dell’esistenza, arrivando a domandarci: quanto siamo disposti a rischiare per difendere ciò in cui crediamo? La storicità di Gesù Cristo – illustrata da Grace Wesley agli alunni della sua classe di liceo – diventa argomento centrale della causa legale che vede la docente, cristiana, accusata di aver violato la separazione fra Stato e Chiesa.
