The Dean Scream

While attending the Alumni Lecture last week was the first that I have heard of both Jeb Bush and Howard Dean. I have been aware of the presidential campaigns in 2004 and many presidential actions taken by former president George W. Bush; but was still unaware of any substantial information from either Governor. After listening to the Alumni Lecture I only gained knowledge of viewpoints from questions that were asked from a small number of Northern Kentucky University students. I asked a classmate about Howard Dean and besides being the former governor of Vermont, what is Howard Dean known for? In response was “the Dean scream.”

Howard Dean served as Vermont governor in the years 1991-2003 and then ran for democratic presidential nomination in 2004. Dean is eminent for the enthusiastic yelp or "scream" that he demonstrated at an Iowa speech during his campaign known as the Dean scream. Many believe the negative publicity received after “the Dean scream” that is was the ultimate reason to why Dean’s political campaign had lost, after he failed to win only the support of one state (Vermont) during the primaries (“Howard Dean”).

In the beginning Dean was ahead in the polls and a victory look promising. What went wrong? Dean’s presidential campaign soared to exceed fundraising records for a Democratic presidential primary; and his campaign was widely known for its extensive outreached to voters through the internet which was a great key and leading factor during 2004 (“Howard Dean”). However, was it “the Dean scream” that was way over exaggerated by the media; that eventually took a negative effect on the public? The “scream” is still mocked by several comedians in the business, such as Dave Chappelle who has made Dean into a laughing stock. Some may believe that the cause to why Dean in the end failed was due to “the Dean scream” and others tend to think that is was Deans more conservative views upon issues such as raising taxes, or minimizing unemployment to minorities (United States).

Whatever the reasoning to why Howard Deans presidential campaign was the main leader in the polls in the 2004 Democratic presidential nominations and in due course plummeted to the bottom is still a mystery; however “the Dean scream” will continue to live on as one of the most outrageous and enthusiastic acts to ever be acted upon by a politician.

Most students are making their way to their classroom lines preparing to be escorted to class. The kindergarten playground that was once buzzing with activity is now quiet with six lines slowly being formed. Ms. M. has moved through the crowd of parents and has found her line. Ms. M. claps her hands three times and pauses. Students are familiar with this routine and begin looking in Ms. M.’s direction.

Sam Winchester Monologue

...collected, and Dean isn't, because she had always assumed they would go out swinging, together. When she gets to Sam, the scene before her is nothing like she imagined the younger Winchester’s death to look like. There are no demons, or angry spirits, he isn't killed by a wendigo, or a witch. He's killed by a seventeen year old boy, driving an old Chevy pickup. Sam is lying almost motionless, in the middle of a quiet road. He’s the victim of a hit and run. There’s an awful lot of blood surrounding him, pooling around his chest, and his blood is bubbling rhythmically from his mouth. As a reaper, she's seen her fair share of hit and run deaths, but this is different. This is Sam Winchester, the man who saved the world from Apocalypse, not once but twice, the man who rid the world of the devil, twice. The man who has killed thousands of evil creatures alongside his brother, and now here he lay, in...

Essay On Robots Are Better Than Humans

...Robots can be built to drive and have fun, do competitions, and practice, so people can learn how stuff works and can actually learn more stuff. I am into robots so I joined the “First Robotics” competition to learn more about robots. The founder of “First Robotics” is Dean Kamen and he said “First is more than robots. The robots are a vehicle for students to learn important life skills. Kids often come in not knowing what to expect-of the program nor of themselves. They leave, even after the first season, with a vision, with confidence, and with a sense that they can create their own future.”( “vision and mission”). Robots are still expensive and cost a whole lot of money and time because you still need to clean and lubricate the joints, make sure there are no oil, and hydraulic leaks, and that is a whole lot of work just to make sure the robot works...

College Should Not Get Paid

...K.Williams 1 I feel that college students shouldn’t be paid. A college student represents his or her institution and it is his responsibility to play with honesty and devotion. Many students find it the best way to earn money and leave the education behind. [pic] Sport is necessary but there should be schedules for playing sports and studying. In my opinion, a good player should be given scholarships and medals as an encouragement to be a wining athlete and a successful student. Let us also not forget, talks of collegiate pay for play, the reason college athletes are in school in the first place is they are here to acquire an education (hence the word student before athlete) which in turn will catapult them to lucrative careers down the road. “Sports as great as it is, is at least in college, a side show and should remain that way if for nothing else to protect the innocence and integrity of the game. For the athletes who are great and posses the potential to elevate their games to the next level, they will eventually be more than adequately compensated for their athleticism to the tune of millions in some cases. And before you under value the worth of a college education, look at it like this for some perspective. A college education, especially an American, one of the most desired attributes worldwide.” .”(Powell, A 2004) Every day Latinos climb on boats, along with anything else that will float, to try to navigate themselves on to Florida's...

"He is doing okay, but he is under a lot of stress," Dahlila replied. "That's good at least he isn't have anxiety attacks anymore," Daxton said in hopefulness.

"Well I hope your ready for the test Daxton," Dahlila joked. "I was born ready," Daxton laughed. They pulled their things together and grabbed their bags. Daxton headed for the school. There was a quiet scream. Daxton turned around to see about ten of Dahlila's study sheets blowing across the green grass with Dahlila crawling up off the ground with a bruised cheek running after the papers. "What happened," Daxton yelled. "I was putting my papers in a bag when a person in a suit and a black mask over their head punched me in the cheek.

Soho

...Soho is a region rich in culture. From its heavy media presence to its famous night life, Soho has become a place for tourists to flock to when they visit the city of London. Soho is in the West End of London but was farmalnd until 1536 when Henry VIII claimed the area as a royal park. The area was shuffled around for much of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and eventually became an are for immigrants and the like to settle down. Many had hoped that it would become a fashionable area, and would develop on a grand scale to become similar to the nearby Bloomsbury, Marleybone and Mayfair. By the mid-nineteenth century any respectable families had moved out of Soho and prostitutes, music halls and small theatres began to inhabit the area. By the turn of the century, cheap restaurants and neighborhood pubs became a meeting place for intellectuals, writers and artists. This continued into the sixties and many have said that many of these people "never stayed sober long enough to become successful." Many also credit this period for the increased popularity of the Soho pub. Soho is a name that comes with certain connotations: mostly sex shops and clubs. The name Soho has inspired regions in Hong Kong, New York and Buenos Aires. Soho plays host to industry, culture, media and entertainment.

The Plight of Young Girls Living as Teenage Prostitutes

...The Plight of Young Girls Living as Teenage Prostitutes Angela Clyde October 5, 2009 Shorter College Professor Ashley Robbins Abstract In recent years there has been a surge in the number of young girls living as teenage prostitutes. The average age of a teenage prostitute today is 13 years old, and this problem has hit communities from the impoverished to the upper middle class. The lure into prostitution has captured girls that are runaways from broken homes, as well as those who suffered emotional and sexual abuse. Although these girls are offenders, they are first victims; thus causing advocates, social workers, and policy makers to unite to establish prevention programs and provide help to those girls living as prostitutes under the hands of men who represent themselves as their pimp a way of escape. Teenage prostitution is a problem in our community that many have failed to look at the severity of its growing presence. The number of girls living a life of prostitution has greatly increased over the last few years and is now beginning to draw local and national attention. The numbers and tragic stories of these young girls lured into this lifestyle for various reasons are beginning to cause society to stop and take notice. Girls as young as eleven years of age are being forced into a lifestyle of prostitution as a means for survival. In order to begin to work on addressing the problem of teen prostitution...

Halloween Film Critique

...John Carpenter’s Halloween: A Film Critique Michael Chapes Instructor David Hayes ENG 225 February 13, 2014 “It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare.” - Sheriff Leigh Brackett As long as there have been stories, there have been stories about the other, the unrealities we might categorize today as fantasy... Early myths in all cultures are populated by demons and darkness, early Egyptian mythology resounds with tales of a world beyond the physical, a realm of the spirits, to be revered and feared. Classical mythology is filled with monsters such as the Cerberus, the Minotaur, Medusa, the Hydra, the Sirens, Cyclops, Scylla and Charybdis, to name just a few. Every culture has a set of stories dealing with the unknown and unexplained, tales that chill, provoke and keep the listener wondering "what if..?" Horror films are the present-day version of the epic poems and ballads told round the fires of our ancestors. Horror movies of the 1970s reflect the grim mood of the decade. After the optimism of the 1960s, with its sexual and cultural revolutions, and the moon landings, the seventies was something of a disappointment. By 1970, the party was over; the Beatles split, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix died, while John Kennedy, his brother Robert, and Martin Luther King were all felled by an assassin’s bullet. These tragedies seemed to be just the first domino to fall, for then came Nixon...

Josh is the only student in the class who refuses to sign and is then required by Radisson to debate the topic with him, with the class members deciding who wins. Radisson gives Josh twenty minutes at the end of the first three lecture sessions to argue that God exists. In the first two debates, Radisson has counter arguments for all of Josh's points. Josh's girlfriend Kara (Cassidy Gifford) breaks up with him, fearing that standing up to Radisson will jeopardize their academic future. Ultimately, it comes down to the third and final debate between Radisson and Josh, who again both make compelling points. Josh then halts his line of debate to pose a question to Radisson: "Why do you hate God?" After Josh repeats the question twice more, Radisson explodes in rage, confirming he hates God for his mother's death that left him alone despite his prayers. Josh then casually asks Radisson how he can hate someone that doesn't exist. In the end, Martin (Paul Kwo), a foreign...
