...Oral Communication Eulogy Terry Bradshaw: September 2, 1948-September 2, 2018 Good morning everyone. I would just like to take a few moments to say a few words about my good friend Terry Bradshaw. Firstly, to his daughters Erin and Rachel, you meant the world to him. You two are the biggest accomplishments in his life. And for a man who accomplished it all, that says a great deal. Terry grew up a simple boy turned man, in Shreveport, Louisiana. The second of three sons of Bill and Novis, throughout his life, he was teased for the fact of where he came from. Some called him the “Bayou Bumpkin”. In the words of Terry, “I may be dumb, but I ain’t stupid. Those that knew Terry also knew that He was one of the most inspirational stories in sports and in life in general. Terry didn’t make millions as a NFL quarterback in the 70’s. In fact, he spent the off season as a used car salesman in Pittsburgh. He was smart, the hometown hero everyone wanted to buy a car from. No one had more fun late in life than Terry Bradshaw. Despite his constant headaches and dizziness from a life of getting knocked down, he still managed to get back up and live his life to the fullest. He even overcame clinical depression that he faced through much of his adult life. He once told me it was so bad that he couldn’t even enjoy his super bowls wins. But Terry being Terry, he bounced back, and became a poster child on how to live through and beat depression. I was lucky enough...

...Terry v. Ohio Assignment 1 Kristi Beeler Prof. Demetrius Abraham LEG110 April 28, 2012 According to the definition in a text by Ralf Rogowski, civil law is “a body of rules that delineate private rights and remedies, and govern disputes between individuals in areas such as contracts, property, and family law.” (Rogowski, 1996) Common law is defined as “the system of laws originated and developed in England and based on court decisions, on the doctrines implicit in those decisions, and on customs and usages rather than on codified written laws” (Common Law, 2009) according to The American Heritage Dictionary. I believe that the main difference between civil law and common law is that civil law is primarily figured on written law and common law may be reviewed on customs and laws that are rewritten for certain jurisdictions. In the case of Terry v. Ohio Officer McFadden was working his routine patrol which he had worked for many years. He was a plain clothes officer who was walking his beat when he noticed suspicious actions of three men. He watched them pass by and look into a storefront around 24 times. Then he finally decided to approach them because it appeared they were going to hold up a store during daytime hours. He walked up to them, identified himself as an officer, and asked their names and they just mumbled their response. Officer McFadden then turned one suspect around and began to frisk him. Through his outer coat he felt a gun but could not remove...

...In Terry v. Ohio, 392 U. S. 1 (1968), the court considered whether police, in the absence of probable cause, can stop, question, or frisk an individual. The case proposed that in order to stop someone for questioning, the Police must have a reasonable suspicion that the person is about to commit or has already committed a crime. If after someone has been stopped, the police want frisk a suspect for weapons, they need to have reasonable suspicion that the person is armed and threatening. The Court recognized that the Fourth Amendment protects the right of every individual to the possession and control of his own person. At the same time, it recognized that in certain circumstances, public safety might require a limited "seizure," or stop, of an individual against his will. The Court consequently set forth conditions circumscribing when and how the police might conduct a Terry stop. They include what has become known as the "reasonable suspicion" standard. 392 U. S., at 20-22. Justice White, in a separate concurring opinion, set forth further conditions. Justice White wrote: "Of course, the person stopped is not obliged to answer, answers may not be compelled, and refusal to answer furnishes no basis for an arrest, although it may alert the officer to the need for continued observation." Id., at 34. After Terry v. Ohio case, police officers only needed reasonable suspicion to search a person for weapons. However, the search is strictly limited to weapons. The case did not do...

...Reasonable Suspicion, Plain View, and Plain Feel In Terry v. Ohio (1968) 392 U.S. 1, an officer patrolling a high crime area, known for shoplifters and pickpockets, witnessed Terry and another man walk past a store and glance inside the window twenty-four times. The suspect’s unhelpful identification led to a protective pat with the slightest intrusion of privacy. The Terry stop and frisk was constitutional based on reasonable suspicion. Terry requires specific and articulable facts in light of the officer’s training and experience, based on the totality of the circumstances and officer’s safety. In Pennsylvania v. Mimms (1977) 434 U.S. 106, an officer conducting a traffic stop asked the driver to exit the vehicle. The officer observed a large...

...Dissent of Terry v. Ohio Defending Justice Douglas’s Dissent of Terry v. Ohio Terry v. Ohio is a landmark supreme court case that started on October 31st, 1963, in Cleveland, Ohio, when police officer Martin McFadden observed three men engaging in suspicious behavior. At first, two men, John W. Terry and Richard Chilton, were taking turns pacing up and down Euclid Avenue, stopping to peer into a storefront, then congregating at the street corner. Later, a third party (Katz), met the two at the corner then left abruptly after brief conversation. Officer McFadden then confronted the three men, searched their outer garments under the suspicion of criminal intent, and found a pistol on Terry and another on Chilton. Terry’s defense argued the gun found on Terry was inadmissible in court as evidence, stating that his 4th Amendment right to protection from unreasonable search and seizures was violated. The court denied the defendants' motion on the ground that Officer McFadden, on the basis of his experience, "had reasonable cause to believe . . . that the defendants were conducting themselves suspiciously, and some interrogation should be made of their action." Purely for his own protection, the court held, the officer had the right to pat down the outer clothing of these men, who he had reasonable cause to believe might be armed. The Supreme Court of Ohio dismissed their appeal on the ground that no “substantial constitutional question” was involved (Kemp, David. (2012). Terry v. Ohio...

...Uncle Terry Paula Hebb ENG121 Jennifer Miller May 4, 2015 Uncle Terry When my mom died, I wasn't aware that she had siblings. The only person I had met in my mother's family was my grandmother. After my mom's funeral, we lost touch, and I didn't give her any more thought. That was until I read my mom's obituary in May 2014. The obituary said that my mom was survived by a brother, whose name was Terry Cartwright. I thought it might be a long shot, and I didn't have anything to loose, so I decided to search for him. I went online, and there were several Terry Cartwright's listed in Ohio. I knew that I would be traveling to Michigan soon, so I decided to make a side trip to visit my mom's grave in Ohio and find a little piece of my mom and her extended family. I was ecstatic to have this connection to my mom. I traveled to Michigan to visit my cousin Deb. I stayed with her for a couple of days and then I left to go to Warren, Ohio. My mom is buried there, and I thought maybe the burial records would give me an address to my grandmother if she were still alive. I arrived in Warren, and since it was so late I checked into my hotel, then decided to wait until morning to go to the cemetery. I woke up excited the next day because I was one step closer to meeting my uncle. I showered, dressed and left to the cemetery. When I stopped by the office and spoke with the office manager. I asked her if there was a way to find out who was responsible for my mother's grave site. She...

...My name is Terry , I am a single mother to an amazing 4 year old. I have been a student at Capella for an entire year, however, I took off the last 6 week course in order to go on a mission trip with my church. I currently work for a PBM (pharmacy benefit manager) as a pharmacy technician for the clinical review department. I am a licensed alcohol and drug counselor, however, I do not currently practice in a professional environment. I am working on my MBA with health care management because I feel that along with my pharmacy background and chemical dependency background that there will be opportunities to merge the two together in light of healthcare reform. My goal for this class is to explore more in the area of healthcare policies and decision making, as I see this to be a very prominent issue in our society. I am apprehensive about this class, as with all my classes, due to the time needed to do a good job. My job is very demanding, with us working anywhere from 50 to 60 hours a week. My son will be starting pre-school on September 5 which will bring a new set of demands and time issues to my life. I love challenges and I love learning, so when the two collide, I find that I am able to do whatever it takes to get the job done. I look forward to learning from each of you during the next six...

...to read “Terry Fox: His Story” , written by Leslie Scrivener as my book for this assignment. There are a lot of things that I have learned about so far by reading this book. Like some of the symptoms Terry got from his cancer when he was doing the run, like chest pain, blurred vision, dizziness etc. One really important thing that I learned about Terry himself was that Terry was a real fighter because of the amount of pain he had to go through to get all the way to Thunder Bay where he stopped. Leslie Scrivener did a really good job organizing the ideas of the story. She did that by making it sort of a timeline and all the event’s came in chronological order. She also put some images on a few pages of the book showing Terry’s most valuable memories when he was...

...There aren’t very many really revolutionary pieces of music in this century or any other. Terry Riley’s In C is one of those revolutionary pieces. It’s hard to tell how little structure there is to the music if listening to the piece with little or no background. As the music crescendos and ascends from one raga to another, you can hear how Riley’s minimalist approach allows the musician a freedom to feel the music and become one with it. Its unpredictable nature allows a certain surprise each time the listener hears the piece performed. There are so many possibilities. The Indian influence gives it its minimalistic glory. It invokes feelings a relaxation and freedom in the listener. The notation provided for the piece serves as merely a suggestion on how it should be performed. 53 melodic patterns are displayed on the one page, with any number of performers playing each pattern consecutively. The real twist here is, that while the piece starts with everyone on the first pattern, it is completely up to the discretion of each individual member on how many times the phrase should be repeated before they move to the next one. This level of interaction provides limitless possibilities in rhythmic variations, dynamics, tempo, and the time taken to perform the piece. It has been described as an aletoric composition. What’s most impressive about this piece is the balance established between structure and chance. Each melodic pattern follows a logical progression from one another,...
