Sorry for being a little un-active lately but the first project I was working on for final year at Uni came to a climax this week, thought I would share my work with you guys. The scheme was for a temporary theatre outside the exiting National Theatre in Southbank London. They are partially rendered, drawn over in Illustrator and then painted in Photoshop. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Not bad Spud. I like the characters. The outlines on everything are getting a little annoying though. It would be cool to see you combine the architecture stuff with the characters and make a full painting out of it.
Thanks guys, and especially for the critique noted about the outline, definitely habit I have picked up but not appropriate in all cases

Love the way you block in those colors. It's very effective and give the painting a unique feel. The pig is my favorite.
Your hatching is lovely, too.
Unless you already know about the weekly community activities, I suggest you check out environment of the week.
I think that would be a great source of inspiration to you and practice.
Those drawings in your last post look really cool. And your use of colors is so expressive! Sorry, I can't give you any critiques I'll definitely keep an eye on this sketchbook in future.
Are those three military dudes drawn from reference or imagination?
@ Jizu Thanks man!
@Christoffer Thanks, and will definitely check those out when I have some spare time!
@LeaderOfZombies Thanks, and yeh the soldiers are all from reference, I suck at gas masks so decided to practice

Democrats hope refusal to extend the tax cut will show the Republicans favor the rich. GOP argues that the public will see the two-month extension as a gimmick and blame the Dems.
This analysis is by Charles Babington of The Associated Press.
Democrats feel they're closer than ever in their long-running bid to paint Republicans as being much more eager to cut taxes for the rich than for the working class.
But public contempt for Congress is so rampant that the effort may fade away in a pox-on-all-their-houses fog. If that happens, President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats could lose a political edge as they head into the 2012 elections with a struggling economy.
Democratic strategists say Republicans are blundering by refusing to extend a payroll tax cut, even after the Senate overwhelmingly approved a temporary compromise Saturday. GOP lawmakers previously fought hard to extend Bush-era income tax cuts for everyone, including the wealthiest.
"This is a rare moment when the public is with the Democrats on a tax issue, and against the Republicans," said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.
Helping out those in need is always a good thing to do. But it's only sometimes tax-deductible. Make sure you know the rules.
This post is from Kelly Phillips Erb at Forbes.
It's the season for charitable contributions.
Charitable donations are an excellent way to reduce your tax burden for the year, all while doing something for the greater good. But as with everything in tax law, there are procedures and rules that need to be followed.
You'll get a bigger deducation if the charity uses your car rather than sells it. Either way, be sure to follow the rules and save the paperwork.
This post is by Lynnette Khalfani-Cox of Insurance.com.
Looking to make a smart financial move before the end of the year? Try donating a car you no longer want, need or use.
Donating a vehicle to charity may net you a hefty tax deduction. However, you need to meet certain requirements to qualify for the deduction.
If you're feeling philanthropic, start by deciding on an IRS-approved charity you'd like to benefit. Just remember that the charity you select must be an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) for you to get a tax deduction.
Consult IRS Publication 4303, "A Donor's Guide to Vehicle Donations," as well as IRS Publication 78, which lists qualified charities. (Religious groups aren't listed, but they qualify as well.)
No, you can't make a whole year's payments and save more. Be careful that accelerated payments don't throw you into an Alternative Minimum Tax situation.
This post is by Kay Bell at Bankrate.com.
A little year-end attention to your mortgage payment could lower your upcoming federal tax bill.
Unlike rent, which you pay beforehand (i.e., your Jan. 1 bill covers your stay in the rental unit for that coming month), your mortgage payments are made at the end of your occupancy period. That means your Jan. 1 mortgage statement represents interest for the month of December, making it a tax-break-eligible bill for this year.
By accelerating that payment even by just a day, you get an additional tax deduction for the interest paid.
Don't get greedy, though. You can't make your February, or any other upcoming, mortgage payment early to boost your year-end tax deduction amounts. Tax law generally prohibits write-offs for prepaid interest (there is an exception for loan points in some cases). Each year, you can deduct only the home mortgage interest for that year.
A new poll finds support for continuing the payroll tax cut and deep discontent with Congress. More voters favor service cuts over tax increases.
This story is by Laurie Kellman of The Associated Press.
Most Americans want Congress to vote to continue the payroll tax reduction, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll that comes as Democrats and Republicans wrestle over whether to extend the cut through 2012.
It's the latest instance in which lawmakers on Capitol Hill have allowed partisan sniping to hold up a measure to put in place a policy that most Americans support, like ending the Bush tax cuts, cap and trade, and a surcharge on millionaires.
The dragged-out debate over whether to extend an expiring payroll tax reduction is one of many developments that have kept voters furious with their leaders all year. On the brink of the 2012 presidential and congressional elections, virtually all Americans are disappointed and frustrated with the political scene and nearly 6 in 10 say they are angry, the AP-GfK survey showed.
"It seems like there are parties that only want to get their agenda done," said liquor store owner James Jacobsen, 47, of East Hartford, Conn. "They're catering to special interests and not Americans. They are not representing the individual American."
Treatment of short-term and long-term losses is different, but either may get you a reduction in taxable income, and therefore tax owed.
This post is by Kay Bell at Bankrate.com.
Plummeting stock prices can cast a dark cloud over anyone's finances. However, at tax time, these capital losses can produce a ray of write-off sunshine.
When you sell any pharmaceutical flops or banking blunders, you can use them to offset gains from more successful ventures -- or even a portion of your everyday income.
A capital loss is the result of selling an investment at less than the purchase price or adjusted basis. Any expenses from the sale are deducted from the proceeds and added to the loss.
The key point is that capital losses are only losses after you sell them. A stock sitting in your portfolio with a deflated price may cause you distress, but it doesn't do you any tax good until you dump it. (The sale of personal-use property, such as a car, doesn't get this favored tax treatment. Such losses can't be deducted as capital losses.)
States disagree over how deal purchases should be taxed. California has decided to levy sales tax only on what you pay, but New York argues you should pay tax on the full value.
This post is by Janet Novack of Forbes.com.
Good news for California deal-of-the-day addicts: The sales tax they have to pay when they use coupons purchased from Groupon, LivingSocial or other Internet daily deal sites has gone down.
In a special notice issued last month, the California State Board of Equalization said sales tax should be levied only on what a Groupon user has paid for an item, not the list price of the item he's getting.
So if you paid $50 for a $100 Groupon that you use at a California merchant to buy a $100 item, the sales tax applies to only $50. If you buy a $115 item with that $100 Groupon plus $15 in cash, the sales tax applies to $65 — the $50 you paid to Groupon plus the extra $15 you had to fork over to the merchant.
The new ruling is significant because back in February a spokeswoman for the California BOE, which administers the state's sales tax, said the board expected merchants to collect sales tax on the full face value of the item purchased — meaning the full $100 or $115. At that time, however, she also said the BOE had asked its legal counsel to review whether its position was correct.
GOP candidate's proposal would cut taxes 62% for millionaires and put a major hole in the federal budget, analysis finds. Gingrich disputes deficit projection.
This story is by Stephen Ohlemacher of The Associated Press.
The tax plan by GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich would provide big tax breaks to the rich and blow a huge hole in the federal budget deficit, according to an independent study.
The analysis by the Tax Policy Center says households making more than $1 million a year would see their taxes drop by an average of 62%. Overall, federal tax revenues would drop by an estimated $850 billion in 2015, a figure that would dramatically worsen the budget deficit unless it is offset by unprecedented spending cuts, the study said.
"The revenue losses are enormous," said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center.
Gingrich proposes an optional 15% flat tax on income. Under the plan, taxpayers could stay in the current system, which has a top tax rate of 35% on taxable income above $379,150, or switch to the new 15% tax. The new tax would apply to income at all levels, but there would be a variety of tax deductions and credits.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTVB) - The Capital Hill conundrum on Obamacare continues. Republicans are boosting the volume of concern about the healthcare reform law. Opening a House hearing today, Michigan Republican Dave Camp said businesses are struggling to figure out how to implement the law. He argued that there are more questions than answers about the pending implementation of key parts of the reform, including the IRS' role in enforcing the individual mandate provision of the law. Michigan Democrat Sander Levin accused Republicans of being obsessed with the healthcare law, at the expense of other key issues. He chided GOP lawmakers for repeated attempts to repeal or defund the legislation and said, "It's the law."

Classic car enthusiasts know that owning one of these special vehicles can be exciting. The rewards are numerous but there are important details that always need to be addressed. Many new owners do not realize that its upholstery may need to be repaired or replaced. Research and planning ahead ensure that the right selections are made when considering this important issue.
Initial Considerations
There are two ways to go about repairing or replacing upholstery. Professional auto upholstery shops offer various services in a variety of price ranges. Do it yourself options may save money but could create damage that will be costlier later. The choice will depend on the extent of the damage as well as your own skill level and how much time you want to devote to this project.
Start by looking over the type of upholstery currently installed in the vehicle. You can see what types of fabrics were used in original models as a guide for replacement. Go over pictures of the car when it was first produced as well as any articles from the time for the most comprehensive details.
Do It Yourself Repairs And Reupholstering
For do it yourself enthusiasts, repair kits can be found at auto supply stores and fabric shops. These kits can repair a number of different problems such as rips and tears. They can also be matched to any colour or grain. Many kits include the full compliment of items needed to do the repair in a few simple steps.
If full reupholstering is the only option, a do it yourself installation can be difficult alone. Start by checking the frame to ensure that the body is in good condition. A re-weld may be necessary if any parts are broken off. Be sure to take care of any rust that may also be on the frame. Once clean, coat it with a rust preventative before painting. Before removing any items, take full photos of the vehicle for reference. This will prevent any items from being incorrectly replaced or reset during installation.
Foam padding can be found at many locations, including fabric shops. This ready-to-use item will fit most car seats. You can also purchase foam selection that requires users to create shapes that will accommodate seating areas. If you decide to use this method, seating should be modelled after the current selection.
Make sure you have the right tools for the job. Necessary implements often include scissors, hog clip pliers, utility knives and hog clips. Work from centre outwards towards the sides while anchoring with the hog clips. This will ensure a smooth finish. Batting is added next. It is used to fill the bolsters and held in place with foam or fabric glue. This will keep the seat free of lumps as well as any wrinkling that may occur.
Professional Upholsterers
Professionals auto upholsterers can be an expensive option for repairs. Their experience and work with other vehicles will dictate a large portion of the price. Their services range from reupholstering the entire car to dealing with small selections. Look for those professionals with a good reputation among car owners.
Upholstery should always be properly maintained in classic vehicles. Owners understand the unique look that defined their car at the time it was produced. Many classic car enthusiasts check we buy junk cars as they look for information on their distinctive makes and models.

Mayor Announces Tree Recycling for Residents
· Waste Reduction Center - 636 Meriwether Avenue
Residents living outside the Urban Service District may also utilize the drop off centers and should check with their private waste haulers to see if tree pickup service is available and when it will begin.
People taking trees to the recycling sites are encouraged to bring containers to take home the fresh, evergreen mulch for use in the spring. The evergreen mulch performs particularly well for acid-loving plants, such as azaleas and rhododendrons.
For every five trees recycled, approximately 35 pounds of mulch can be created to help nourish new plant and tree growth. Last year, the tree-cycling program produced 5.42 tons of mulch. A large quantity of it is used as cover for metro government planting beds.
For more information, please contact MetroCall at 311 or 574-5000.

Providence Hosts Worcester After Thanksgiving Feast
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins (9-6-2-1, 21 PTS, 4th Atlantic) host the Worcester Sharks (9-5-1-3, 22 PTS, 3rd Atlantic) this evening at the Dunkin' Donuts Center for the teams' fourth of 12 regular season meetings in 2010-11. The clubs last matched up on Oct. 31, a 6-1 Sharks win in Rhode Island. On the year, Providence is 1-1-1-0 against Worcester.
Tonight's game pits a pair of streaking teams against one another with Providence at 4-0-1-0 in its last five games and Worcester at 2-0-0-1 in its previous three. The P-Bruins have been gradually rising in the Atlantic Division standings thanks to a 7-1-1-0 November, including three wins after regulation. Most recently, Providence traveled to Bridgeport on Wednesday and left Connecticut 2-1 overtime winners. Second-year forward Jamie Arniel was the game's top star after netting his third overtime winner of the year, while Michael Hutchinson shined yet again with 27 saves. The rookie net-minder is a perfect 5-0-0 in his last seven games dating back to Halloween.
Both Arniel and Hutchinson are among Providence's leaders at their respective positions with Arniel pacing the P-Bruins with nine goals and 15 points and Hutchinson leading the club with six wins, a 2.75 goals-against-average and .909 save percentage. Zach Hamill and Steve Kampfer have each dished out 11 assists for the team-lead.
On the other side, the Sharks went into Thanksgiving after a 3-2 victory at Hershey on Wednesday evening. Goalie Alex Stalock earned 41 saves in defeating former P-Bruins net-minder Dany Sabourin. Sean Sullivan scored a goal, the eventual winner, and added an assist to extend his point-streak to three games. Worcester is led by Jonathan Cheechoo's 17 points, including a team-best 12 assists, while Benn Ferriero has 10 goals. In net, Stalock has seen the bulk of the action, going 8-6-1 in 15 outings with a 2.83 GAA and .902 save percentage.
In the season-series, Ferriero has three goals and four points for Worcester, a point-total matched by Brandon Mashinter and Justin Braun, who is currently in San Jose. Arniel leads all Providence players with two goals, while Kampfer and Joe Colborne each have two points as well. Between the pipes, Nolan Schaefer is 1-1-0 for the P-Bruins, as is Stalock for the Sharks.
Worcester brings one of the top power plays in the AHL into the game, currently sitting third at 21.5%, while Providence is ranked 24th at 14.5% with the man-advantage. Meanwhile, the P-Bruins are 26th on the penalty kill at 78.0%, while the Sharks are 10th when short-handed at 86.4%.
After a rare Saturday off, the P-Bruins get back to work on Sunday at The Dunk, playing host to the Portland Pirates for Silly Band Night at 4:05 p.m. The silly band packs are free to the first 1,000 kids age 12 and under. To purchase tickets or for more information, call the P-Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com.

Plaid Cymru outlines why devolving business rates is a key opportunity to revive town centres
The Party of Wales has called on the Welsh Government to show ambition and use business rates to revive Wales' struggling town centres.
The party's economy spokesperson Alun Ffred Jones has said that the party had long campaigned for the devolution of business rates as a means of supporting Wales' ailing town centres and supporting SMEs.
The UK Government recently announced that it will devolve business rates to the Welsh Government.
Plaid Cymru has called for the criteria for determining the Rateable Value of business properties to be reformed, to remove the disincentive for businesses to improve their property and to give the location of properties a greater influence in the valuation process.
The Party of Wales Shadow Economy Minister Alun Ffred Jones AM said:
"Our town centres used to be bustling, vibrant places to shop.
"Across Wales there are high streets that used to be full of shoppers and traders that now lie empty, bar a few charity shops or discount stores.
"It's a sad indicator of a political culture that has failed to support the businesses that contribute the most to our economy.
"Plaid Cymru has been campaigning to change this for many years. We have long called for the UK Government to devolve business rates to Wales so that we can set them at an appropriate level to help our businesses grow and prosper.
"We want to extend the Business Rate Relief Scheme to cover all businesses with a rateable value of £15,000 or less which would take 83,000 businesses out of paying rates.
"We also want to address the imbalance which makes Wales the most expensive place in the UK for small businesses by introducing a separate business rate multiplier for large businesses which could help fund a cut in the multiplier for small businesses.
"At present, Wales only has one multiplier rate that applies to all businesses irrespective of size, while England has a separate rate for smaller and larger businesses and Scotland has an additional third rate for supermarkets.
"SMEs are the backbone of the Welsh economy, making up 99% of the companies in Wales and more than two-thirds of the private sector workforce.
"They are the majority of shops on our high streets, and it is important that government does what it can to support them."

I just worked John in Belle Glade, FL for the third time. That in itself isn't so remarkable, but what is different about this series of contacts is that each time I've worked him it's been with a different call.
The first time I worked him with his personal call, WB4MED (FISTS #10516). The second time I worked him he was using the FISTS club call KN0WCW (FISTS #10000). This time I worked him he was using the local club call, WA4VVA (FISTS #11500).
Now, I just have to figure out a way to work him with a fourth call next time.

The Political
Branding Issue
Editorial Staff
The Creative Issue
The Digital Issue
What's in Store
for 2013
Jon Huntsman, a centrist GOP candidate, former governor of Utah and ambassador to China, used the slogan "Country First." His anti-negativity platform and fiscally conservative messaging scored points, but his moderate stance on climate change and civil unions didn't resonate with the party. He suspended his campaign in January after coming in third in New Hampshire.
Fiscal and social conservatives, dubbed "Tea Party favorites," included Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain who each campaigned on platforms calling for fiscal responsibility, free markets and a constitutionally limited government. Their messaging also included positions on social issues such as reproductive choices and marriage rights.
Bachmann, who founded the Tea Party caucus in the house, was an early favorite in this party within a party, garneringinterest as a relatable candidate. Her brand was weakened, though, by frequent gaffes. She suspended her campaign in January after a shortage of funds and a sixth place finish in the Iowa Caucus.
Governor of Texas Rick Perry ran on a platform of "Make Us Great Again," but his brand was weakened by a poor performance in a fall 2011 primary debate. Also voters felt his illegal immigrant tuition position in Texas was off message for the party. Perry suspended his campaign in January after poor finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Herman Cain built a brand with underdog and straight shooter appeal. Cain's slogan "Lets Get Real," song "I am America" and simple policy messaging, such as his 9-9-9 tax plan, helped his brand gain traction. An alleged affair and sexual harassment allegations derailed momentum. Cain suspended his campaign in December 2011 before the primary contests.
Ron Paul, an established libertarian brand, also had appeal for Tea Party voters. Paul's campaign slogan, "Restore America Now," aligned with Tea Party values, however, his messaging on issues such as legalizing drugs, reducing aid to Israel and cuts to Defense weakened his brand appeal among the base. Yet Paul remained in the race longer than anyone other than Mitt Romney.
Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the House in the 1990s, gained after others fell from grace. Gingrich attempted to sway a broad audience with, "Unleash the American people; rebuild the America we love." Yet, his brand could not overcome negative perceptions tied to house ethicssanctions, alleged lobbying activities and a colorful personal life. His verbose approach also lacked appeal and relatability.
Rick Santorum surged from the bottom with therallying cry "The Courage to Fight for America." Santorum won over the Tea Party with conservative social and fiscal positions, beating Mitt Romney in the Iowa Caucus by 34 votes. He struggled, though, to appeal to moderates and women. In April, with depleted funds and a hospitalized daughter, Santorum suspended his campaign.
Throughout the entirety of his campaign, MittRomney struggled with a perception problem around consistency and relatability. He was seen as the front-runner even before announcing his candidacy, but left his party dissatisfied for much of the election cycle. His slogan, "Believe in America," did little to differentiate him and much of his messaging focused on attacking President Obama. While accusations his planswere vague persisted, ads with CEO testimonials touting his financial leadership added value to the Romney brand.
After clinching the GOP nomination, Romney had the opportunity to bolster his brand with the selection of a strong runningmate. Romney chose to make his brand more appealing to the far right, whom he had yet to win over, by selecting Paul Ryan, whose fiscal policies align with Tea Party positions.
The GOP celebrated the Romney-Ryan ticket at the Republican National Convention in August 2012. Shortly after the convention, Romney's now-infamous "47%" comment leaked. Romney's comments, calling almost half of Americans subsidy dependent victims, damaged efforts to build a relatable brand. Unanswered calls for more tax return information also diminished the sense of his brand's authenticity.
President Obama, whose re-election campaign had yet to take off in earnest, and VP Joe Biden, were equally celebrated at the Democratic National Convention. Speakers included former President Bill Clinton, who praised Obama's record, challenging the gap between policy accomplishments and public perception of the first term. Theconvention success led to a bump in the polls for Obama.
President Obama, in what many saw as a very tight race, built on his 2008 "Hope" slogan with a more actionable campaign promise: "Forward." The president still had to overcome a perception gap and messaging from the Romney camp spotlighting the still lagging economy. However, improved financial news late in the campaign season helped boost the Obama brand's authenticity.
With consistent messaging and a steadfast strategy of speaking first about his wife and daughters and then on a tactical level about issues and plans in clear language, President Obama strengthened the relatable brand he had created for himself. He remained persistent in his stances on tax cuts and job creation.
Obama's disconnected demeanor in the first debate was inconsistent for a president known for his warm, everyman candor, and caused him to lose the moderate lead he had held against Romney. Romney's "binders full of women" comment in the second debate helped reverse Obama's downward trend. At the close of the third and final debate the two were polling head-to-head.
The turning point may have occurred as late as the week before the election. When Hurricane Sandy hit the northeast, President Obama paused his campaign and headed to the hardest hit communities. Meanwhile, Romney lost relevance and understanding because of previous threats to cut FEMA funding.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a favorite amongst the GOP who had spoken at the Republican convention, publicly praised Obama for his handling of the disaster, increasing the President's relevance and understanding. By the weekend before the election, Obama had made up for his polling gap by almost all accounts.
This campaign season was arguably about undecided voters and an electorate dissatisfied with the two major party brands. Following its election loss, the Republican Party in particular will need to realign its brand. President Obama has his work cut out for him in maintaining his brand's authenticity and avoiding perception gaps in a way he did not in his first term.

The Learning Curve
Having completed registration here and nationally, I began 'The Learning Curve Era'. Consuming information in great gulps helped speed the time a bit, yet just as a curved road requires slower, more careful driving, so does this time of learning. I don't have much to offer readers in regard to time condensation here. Try to enjoy the view as you go, committing as much as possible to memory and note-taking...and remember, if not navigated rightly, you could miss a turn or even go over a cliff. The Learning Curve Era has only one real requirement...that we learn! One piece of advice I found but did not follow was to 'clear the slate'. Placing current projects on the shelf is not… [more]

Questions to Ask Your Paid Adoption Searcher
Reuniting with your family members can be a difficult and arduous journey. For some, the search is simple, quick, and easy. For others, it is a process-a long process, at that. Whether hiring a private detective is the first option on your list or the last option, here are some common questions to inquire about before settling on one private detective over another. What resources will be used? Find out what methods he or she regularly employs to get the job done. Are you comfortable with all the methods or resources that may be used? Your private investigator should be able to talk in depth about each resource. Not only should you be comfortable with it, he or she should also be confident… [more]
Social Security Death Index Part 3
When using the Social Security Death Index and viewing the field "last residence" try to remember that this is the address of record. It does not mean that this is the place of death. A perfect example is an elderly couple who had a summer home in the Northeast and a winter home in the south. The husband had passed on while residing in Florida but in the search results of the Social Security Death Index last residence is listed as a northern state. Many people have two official addresses especially if summer and winter home is involved. Another thought to keep in mind when using the Social Security Death Index is that the zip codes shown are those that… [more]
Social Security Death Index Part 2
When searching the Social Security Death Index you can search b y date of birth and date of death as well as where a person lived and applied for their social security number. This is often times where the office that issued the Social Security number was located. You can also search using the residence at time of death which is the address of record but not necessarily where they lived or died and finally where the burial allowance or death benefit was sent. According to the Social Security Administration a Social Security Number is composed of three parts totally nine digits. The first three digits is called the area number, the second set of two digits is called the group… [more]
Social Security Death Index Part 1
President Franklin Roosevelt said in a radio address on the third anniversary of the social security act on August 14, 1938 ""Long before the economic blight of the depression descended on the Nation, millions of our people were living in wastelands of want and fear. Men and women too old and infirm to work either depended on those who had but little to share, or spent their remaining years within the walls of a poorhouse. The Social Security Act offers to all our citizens a workable and working method of meeting urgent present needs and of forestalling future need". Some of you may or may not realize this but the first Social Security card was issued December 1, 1936 and on January 1, 1937… [more]

Saint Joseph's University Department of Public Safety
A job for all . . .
Who is responsible for Safety and Security at Saint Joseph's University?
The safety and security of all who live, work and visit Saint Joseph's University is of paramount importance to the entire Saint Joseph's community. The primary concern of the Department of Public Safety and Security is to seek to provide the highest reasonable level of security on our 100+ acre campus. Our SJU community shares this responsibility and during the school year, several crime prevention and security forums are conducted. This shared responsibility is a very important element of our overall safe learning environment.
The Federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or Clery Act, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Act 180, Uniform Crime Reporting Act require the publication and distribution of the following information, as well as the keeping of an open crime log that is available for inspection in security headquarters at Barbelin Hall, Rm 13. Information for this Report was compiled by the Department of Public Safety and Security, in consultation with Student Life. It includes all reports to Public Safety, Residence Life, other Campus Security Authorities and local police departments, regardless of whether they have been determined to have occurred.
* The statistics listed below are the number of crimes reported to Public Safety. They do not reflect the outcome of investigations by Saint Joseph's University Public Safety or the pertinent police department.
Pennsylvania Uniform Crime Reporting Act Crime Rates
In addition to the Clery Act, the Pennsylvania Uniform Crime Reporting Act requires the release of crime statistics and rates to students and employees. The rate is based on the actual number of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) students and employees which is calculated according to the following state-mandated formula. The formula is the number of FTE students (6251) plus the number of FTE employees (1438). The 2012 FTE is therefore 7959 or 12.56. The rate is obtained by dividing this figure into 100,000 and multiplying the quotient by the individual statistics to produce the crime rate per 100,000 persons in each category.
Procedures for Reporting a Crime or Emergency
Members of the Saint Joseph's University community are encouraged to report all crimes and emergencies to the Department of Public Safety in a timely manner. To report a crime, emergency, or non-emergency, call Public Safety at extension 1111 or, from outside the University phone system, (610)660-1111. Public Safety Officers trained to dispatch are available at this number 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer your call. Based on the nature of the call, an officer may be dispatched to your location, or you may be asked to report to the Public Safety Office to file an incident report. The Department of Public Safety will provide assistance with contacting Philadelphia Police or Lower Merion Police, if needed. To further assist with reporting crimes or emergency situations, 150 emergency phones are located throughout the campus, both inside and outside the buildings. These phones provide a direct line to the Public Safety Office; simply pick up the handset or press the "call" button. You will be immediately connected with a Public Safety Officer who will be able to determine your location based on the emergency phone you are calling from.
All Department of Public Safety incident reports involving students are forwarded to the Vice President for Student Life and the Office of Community Standards for review and judicial action, if necessary.
Should the victim of, or witness to, a crime wish to make a confidential report, there are several means of doing so. Reports filed confidentially are counted and disclosed in the Annual Crime Statistics and enable the University to identify crime patterns. An Anonymous Tip Line has been established to provide the Department of Public Safety with "tips" about criminal activity or behavior on campus. Call extension 1114, or (610) 660-1114, to reach this recorded line and leave a message. The Anonymous Tip Line is monitored by the Director of Public Safety and information provided will be thoroughly investigated. Though monitored, the Anonymous Tip Line is not meant for emergencies that require immediate action. Another means to make an anonymous report is through the Tip Box located in the Drexel Library. The drop-box is situated to the right of the computer classroom on the ground floor and allows for anyone to drop off an anonymous message that will be promptly checked by Public Safety. Additionally, individuals can fill out an anonymous Tip Form located on the main MYSJU website as well as under the Public Safety Channel under the School Services tab. Click on the "Safety and Security Tip Link" and complete the form.
Timely Warning to the Campus Community
The University will provide timely notice to the campus community regarding crimes considered to be a serious or on-going threat to the safety of or health of students and employees which are reported to Public Safety or the local police. The Director of Public Safety, or a designee, will make a determination if a timely warning is required and will draft the message for review and approval by the Vice President for Administrative Services, the Vice President for Student Life, and the Office of University Communications. The manner of notification depends upon the particular circumstances of the crime. Means of communication such as telephone voice mail broadcast messages, electronic mail, University publications, Campus Announcements on the SJU Today tab within MYSJU, the Open Crime Log, and the student newspaper are available for this purpose. A "Campus Alerts" box is permanently located on the main MYSJU website and is utilized to quickly disseminate emergency information to the University Community. The University also has a siren/public address warning system and a cell phone text messaging system in the event of an emergency.
Preparation of the Annual Report
Under the Federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act, the preparation and dissemination of an Annual Report containing crime statistics for the past three years and campus security policies is required. Preparation of this report is the responsibility of the Department of Public Safety and requires the compilation of crimes reported throughout the previous calendar year. The crime statistics are gathered primarily from the Department of Public Safety Incident Management System, but also include statistics provided by the Office of Community Standards. Once completed, the Annual Report is published and made available to the campus community. The report is also posted on the Saint Joseph's University website at http://www.sju.edu/resources/security/annualreport.html. An email is sent to students, faculty, and staff members once the Annual Report is posted. This email includes the web address and information on how to obtain the hard-copy report.
The Department of Public Safety submits the statistics published in the Annual Report to the Department of Education which is made available to the general public through the Department of Education website.
Campus Security Authorities
The Clery Act requires "Campus Security Authorities" to report campus crime statistics for inclusion in the Annual Report and to facilitate timely warnings. "Campus Security Authorities," as defined by the Clery Act, include security and law enforcement officers; deans (or other senior student administrative personnel); coaches; residence hall staff; overseers and advisors to student clubs and organizations; and other campus officials who have "significant responsibility for student and campus activities," such as, but not limited to, student housing, student discipline and campus judicial proceedings. Professional and pastoral counselors are exempt from the reporting requirement while working within the scope of a license or certification.
The following are designated as Campus Security Authorities:
All administrative employees in the Division of Student Life, including, but not limited to, Vice President for Student Life; Assistant Vice President for Student Development; Director and Assistant Directors of Residential Life; Director, Assistant and Associate Director of Community Standards; Residential Area Managers and Resident Hall Managers; Director, Assistant and Associate Directors of Student Leadership; Senior Director of Adult Student Life, Assistant Vice President and Directors for Student Educational Support Services; Associate Vice President and Directors, Associate Directors, Assistant Directors and all team coaches for Recreational Sports and Intercollegiate Athletics; Director of Campus Ministry; Director of the Student Health Center;
All Deans, Associate Deans, and Assistant Deans of the Undergraduate and Graduate programs within the School of Business, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College for Professional and Liberal Studies;
All administrative employees in the Division of Administrative Services, including, but not limited to, Director of Dining Services; Director, Associate Directors, and Assistant Directors of Facilities Management; Director and Assistant Directors of Public Safety and all Department of Public Safety personnel to include uniformed officers, residence hall desk attendants, gate attendants, and drivers.
Others designated as campus security authorities include the Vice President and Directors for Human Resources; the Director of the ELS Language Center; all advisors to student groups, clubs and organizations; and all non-professional counselors (such as victim advocates).
Safety of Campus Facilities
Residence halls are staffed by security personnel on a 24 hour basis. The residence halls are equipped with state-of-the-art access systems. Only residents, their registered guests, and approved members of the University community are permitted access into the residence halls by swiping their Saint Joseph's University identification cards in the card access readers. Smaller campus houses are not staffed but do have access systems to control entry. Student's rooms are equipped with knob locks, night latches on the doors and window locks. Suites have card access readers.
Public Safety personnel and Residence Life staff work together to enforce security measures in the residence halls.
The campus is divided into several patrol areas and when unsafe conditions (landscape, lighting, etc.) are noted, the proper department is notified. Fire alarms, emergency phones and lights are inspected and tested on a monthly basis.
How is the Department Structured?
The Department of Public Safety and Security reports to the Vice President for Administrative Services and consists of a Director, Assistant Director Operations, Assistant Director Administration, Public Safety Investigator, 3 Patrol Shift Managers, 9 Patrol Shift Supervisors, 76 officers, 72 residence center desk attendants and 16 gate attendants.
Public Safety officers must be certified under Commonwealth of PA Lethal Weapons Training Act 235 prior to employment. Additional pre-service training is provided to all new officers. Public Safety officers do not carry firearms and do not have arrest authority. They are employees of Saint Joseph's University and as such, operate solely as agents of the University. Criminal investigations are conducted by one of the two outside law enforcement agencies that are responsible for coverage at Saint Joseph's University. They are Lower Merion Township on the Merion and Maguire Campuses and Philadelphia on Central and Overbrook Campuses. The Public Safety department has a longstanding and successful working relationship with both departments. While these relationships are well established, they are not memorialized in any written agreement. They will report student off-campus involvement in criminal activity to the University. All crime victims have a right to report any criminal incidents to local police. The Department of Public Safety encourages this right and will assist with the reporting process.
Security and crime prevention presentations are made at student forums throughout the year. Special emphasis on Public Safety services and Crime Prevention practices are made during New Student Orientation programs for undergraduates, graduates, and international students. Articles are also published in the student newspaper and special crime prevention tips are posted on MySJU. Members of the Department of Public Safety also address new employees at orientation sessions conducted by the Office of Human Resources.
Off-campus Student Organizations
Saint Joseph's University does not have any officially recognized student organizations in off-campus facilities, to include housing.
Alcohol, Drugs and Firearms Policies
The carrying of or presence of a firearm is not permitted on University property, including but not limited to one's vehicle, office, residence or locker, except when the firearm is carried by a deputized law enforcement officer and/or agent who is conducting official business on University property.
The University policies concerning the possession, use, and sale of alcoholic beverages and drugs,and the prohibition against the presence of firearms on campus, are intended to conform to the applicable statutes of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and are stated in full in the SJU Student Handbook. Such statutes define firearms as any pistol, revolver, shotgun, or any weapon which is capable of firing a projectile.
In compliance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, no person under twenty-one years of age shall attempt to carry out the purchase, possession, consumption or transport of alcoholic beverages on University property or at any event sponsored by the University. No student or employee of the University shall attempt or carry out the transfer of any form of identification for the purpose of falsifying age in order to secure alcohol. No student or employee of the University shall give permission or render assistance in the sale, furnishing, or providing of alcohol to any person under the age of twenty-one.
Only under the conditions clearly stipulated in the University guidelines is the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages by students twenty-one years of age and older permitted. This conditioned permission should not be interpreted to mean that the University encourages the use of alcoholic beverages. Furthermore, the University considers intoxication, disorderliness or offensive behavior deriving from the use of alcoholic beverages, regardless of a person's age, to be unacceptable and subject to disciplinary action.
Saint Joseph's University prohibits the unlawful sale, manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of any drug by University employees or students in the workplace, on University property, or as part of any University sponsored activity.
As a condition of employment, all employees will abide by the terms of this Policy and must notify the Vice President for Human Resources (or Provost in the case of faculty members), no later than five (5) calendar days after any conviction for a violation of a criminal drug statute occurring in the workplace.
To reflect its commitment to alcohol awareness, the University calls upon key individuals and departments to educate the University community on the dangers of alcohol abuse and to enforce policies on alcohol use: 1) The Wellness, Alcohol, and Drug Education (WADE) Office coordinates alcohol education and programming as well as materials to assist students concerning alcohol usage. 2) The Department of Public Safety assists in implementing and enforcing the policy, and monitors individuals entering residence halls through the use of Public Safety Officers and Residence Hall Desk Attendants. 3) The Alcohol and Other Drug Task Force assists the Vice President for Student Life by making recommendations concerning the policy.
The University is in this regard vitally interested in the well-being of all members of its community and, therefore, offers assistance by making available to all members of its community a counseling office staffed by professionally trained personnel. The services of a qualified psychiatrist are also available. The University strongly urges its members to take advantage of these services. In addition, the Wellness, Alcohol and Drug Education Program offers a comprehensive library collection on the topic of drug use and abuse.

Sexual Violence Policy
Saint Joseph's University policy on sexual violence is stated in its entirety in the Student Handbook and the University's web site at http://www.sju.edu/int/resources/humanresources/sexualviolence.html. The policy identifies and describes procedures and resources available to those individuals who believe they have been a victim or victims of a sexual violence, identifies possible sanctions for violations of the policy, appeals procedures and educational programs.
Saint Joseph's University will not tolerate sexual violence, whether forcible or non-forcible, on its campus or at any University-sponsored events, by any member of the SJU community regardless of location (i.e. on or off campus) when involving SJU students or employees. The University can and often will, in its sole discretion, take action under this policy for off-campus behavior.
An individual who believes that he or she has been a victim of sexual violence is encouraged to report the matter immediately to the Department of Public Safety and Security (610-660-1111), and/or the local police (911). However, a report may instead be made to the Title IX Coordinator if the respondent is a student, the Provost if the respondent is a faculty member or the Vice President for Human Resources if the respondent is an employee who is not a faculty member or is an independent contractor, volunteer, trustee or visitor.
Saint Joseph's University has developed a Rape Education and Prevention Program (REPP) and trained teams to assist an individual who has reported a sexual offense. REPP's web site, http://www.sju.edu/int/academics/cas/sociology/rape_education/repp.html contains information about reporting sexual offenses, medical treatment, victims' rights, criminal and disciplinary proceedings, the need for professional counseling, campus personnel and services available for victim assistance, information about testifying in court, feelings and reactions experienced by most victims and ways to deal with feelings.
Counseling and Psychological Services (610-660-1090) offers confidential counseling to students for a wide variety of concerns, including the psychological effects of sexual offenses. Referral for in-patient or out-patient psychiatric care is also available to students, faculty and staff.
The Department of Public Safety and Security will provide information about filing criminal charges. If the person making the report of a sexual offense so desires, the Department of Public Safety and Security will assist her or him in contacting the local police. This office will also provide information for contacting a member of REPP (Rape Education and Prevention Program 610-733-9650, available 24 hours a day) if she or he so desires.
The timely preservation and collection of relevant evidence is important should criminal charges be pursued. Evidence including clothing, drinks, glasses, bed linens, etc. should be preserved. In order to preserve evidence of body hairs and fluids, a victim should be medically examined as soon as possible and before showering, bathing or other clean up occurs. REPP members are available to support and accompany individuals through the examination and interview process, as needed.
The Director of Community Standards, in consultation with Residence Life staff and other members of the University Community may make interim adjustments to academic, living and/or employment situations of a student who has reported to have violated the Sexual Violence policy as may be necessary for the protection of the complainant. Other safety measures may be offered as necessary when a student makes a complaint about a non-student respondent.
When the respondent is a student, the report will be addressed through Community Standards as a violation of the Sexual Violence Policy. Both the complainant and the respondent will be offered a support person from the SJU community who may accompany him/her throughout the process.
A sanction will be imposed for violation of this Policy. The University has wide discretion as to the sanctions that may be imposed, including removal from the residence community, removal from participation in extracurricular activities, suspension from the University and/or expulsion from the University. Appropriate sanctions may also be imposed upon groups or organizations found to have violated this policy. Both the complainant and the respondent shall be informed of the University's final determination in a disciplinary proceeding and any sanction imposed against the respondent.
In an effort to promote awareness of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking several educational programs are conducted throughout the year. During New Student Orientation incoming students participate in a program addressing these issues which also included by-stander intervention. Similar programs are conducted for student athletes, members of Greek organizations, and student leaders such as Resident Assistants, Orientation Leaders and Service Trip Leaders. Initiatives are carried out during Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April and include educational programming in the residence halls and a "Take Back the Night" event in partnership with REPP.
Criminal Records and Sex-Offender Registry
The University has no policy concerning the admission of students with criminal records and applicants are not questioned concerning their criminal record. If a prospective student's criminal conduct comes to the University's attention, appropriate consideration is given in the application process.
Criminal background checks are conducted on all new employees.
The Pennsylvania State Sex Offender Registry can be reached by phone at 717-783-4363 or via email at http://www.pameganslaw.state.pa.us/.
There are 8820 students enrolled at Saint Joseph's University across full and part time programs both undergraduate and graduate. Approximately 62% of the undergraduate day students live in University housing. Saint Joseph's employs 328 full-time faculty, 312 adjunct faculty, 793 full-time employees and 100 part-time employees.
What about Campus Housing?
Campus housing consists of 13 high-rise buildings and 8 smaller houses. Students also live in university owned multi-story buildings away from main campus. Housing is apartment style in the latter. While most rooms are doubles, there are a few singles and triples. Houses are single sex. High-rises are co-educational according to floors and wings with single sex suites. Housing is primarily provided to undergraduate students.
Campus housing remains open for student occupancy from August 15th through May 15th. During the winter and summer breaks, when classes are not in session, most residence halls are closed.
A Residence Life Staff member is responsible for each high-rise. Each hall within a high-rise has a resident assistant. Security training is required for all resident staff prior to the beginning of classes. Monthly staff meetings for resident assistants include an update on problems and discussion of potential solutions.
Housing for upperclassmen (juniors and seniors) is based on a lottery while freshmen and sophomores are assigned according to their request and space limitations. Changes are made on a space available basis.
Visitors to high-rises must identify themselves, be escorted into the building by their host, and leave identification at the desk. In the houses and apartments, guests are escorted by their host. Houses and apartments are locked and entrance can only be gained by a resident student allowing entrance.
Students may have a guest for not more than two consecutive days. Guest passes are issued and checked. Applicants for positions at the university are sometimes housed on campus, but space is rarely available.
Attending Events on Campus
Classes are usually limited to registered students, but lectures, athletic contests, and plays are open to the community. Certain events require campus ID and persons not having ID will be asked to leave the campus.
Saint Joseph's University does not normally undertake rental of its facilities. Consistent with its educational purposes, however, the University may accommodate the activity of responsible outside organizations when such activity is judged to be consistent with University educational purposes and mission.
Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures
Information regarding the University's response to various emergency situations can be found in the Emergency Preparedness Plan located at www.sju.edu/resources/emergency. The Plan contains notification and response procedures for significant events involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees on campus. The University conducts various tests of emergency response procedures to include table-top and field exercises coordinated with local emergency response teams and law enforcement agencies. Department of Public Safety administrators have received Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Incident Command training and typically oversee coordination efforts with first responders on behalf of the University.
When the Department of Public Safety receives information regarding an immediate threat, the Director of Public Safety (or a designee) will act upon such information without delay and with foremost concern for the University community. In collaboration with such individuals as the Vice President for Administrative Services, the Vice President for Student Life, and the Assistant Vice President of University Communications, the Director of Public Safety will determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless the notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist victims or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.
The University has several means of providing emergency notification. Some or all of these means may be utilized in the event of an immediate threat. An Emergency Text Message alert system is available for members of the University community to participate in. Enrollment is voluntary and students and staff are encouraged to register their cell phone numbers in order to receive the emergency text messages (registration is available on the School Services tab of MYSJU). Messages can be sent to everyone registered or to specific segments of the University community. Campus-wide electronic mail messages may also be utilized along with the "Campus Alerts" box on the main MYSJU page. Permanently located on the left side of the MYSJU login screen, the "Campus Alerts" box is a quick and far-reaching method of disseminating information to members of the SJU and larger communities. A siren/public address warning system is located in the bell tower of the Barbelin/Lonergan building and can be used to broadcast messages to the immediate surroundings.
Evacuation procedures are tested twice each semester for all residential facilities. Public Safety and Residence Life staff oversee evacuation procedures and provide guidance to evacuating students. In addition, evacuation drills are conducted once each semester for campus academic and administrative buildings. Academic building evacuation drills are generally scheduled during "free periods" to ensure minimal disruption to classes in session and will be announced to facilitate preparation and participation by building occupants. Administrative building evacuation drills may be conducted at any time and can be coordinated with staff to maximize participation and minimize disruption. Documentation to include date, time, location, and whether the drill was announced or unannounced is maintained by Public Safety.
Drills are an important opportunity for students and employees to familiarize themselves with the locations of emergency exits, egress procedures, and evacuation assembly points. Maximum participation and cooperation are expected. Drills also allow the Departments of Public Safety and Facilities Management to thoroughly test the fire alarm systems located in each building and immediately address any deficiencies observed. Evacuation maps are located at the exits of each building and general evacuation procedures are described in the Emergency Preparedness Plan. Additionally, the Department of Public Safety will publicize evacuation procedures in conjunction with at least one evacuation drill per calendar year.
Missing Student Notification
If a member of the University community or a parent has reason to believe that a student who resides in on-campus housing is missing, he or she should immediately contact the Department of Public Safety at (610) 660-1111 and/or the Office of Residence Life at (610) 660-1062. The Missing Student Notification will generate a Public Safety Incident Report and subsequent investigation. Investigation efforts will include, but are not limited to, checking the student's residence, class schedule, swipe access history, meal plan usage, location of private vehicle, speaking with friends and acquaintances, and calling the student's cell phone number.
Once an investigation has been conducted, should the Department of Public Safety determine that the student is missing and has been missing for a period of 24 hours or more, the appointed University representative will contact Philadelphia or Lower Merion Police as well as the individual that has been designated as the student's missing person contact. Additionally, the Vice Presidents for Student Life and Administrative Services will be notified. For non-emancipated students less than 18 years of age, a custodial parent or guardian will be notified by the University after the 24 hour period in addition to any emergency or confidential contacts listed.
Each student residing in an on-campus residential facility has the option to register a confidential contact person to be notified in the event that the student is reported missing. Registration is available via MySJU and the information collected will only be used by authorized University officials and law enforcement officers during the course of a missing person investigation. Even if a student has not registered a confidential contact person, local law enforcement will be notified in the event that the student is reported missing.
If, during the initial stages of the investigation, it has been determined that the student is "involuntarily missing," i.e. abducted, kidnapped, or endangered, the appropriate law enforcement agency will be contacted immediately. Upon these exigent circumstances, it will not be necessary to wait for 24 hours to make the required aforementioned notifications.

Supplementing your Personal Learning Network with Twitter
Twitter? A learning tool? Can you really learn 140 characters at a time?
Used correctly Twitter can be a great addition to your personal learning network. First, you've got a account setup on Twitter right? You know the basics of Twitter right? If not, Google "Twitter Tutorial" or "How to use Twitter". This video on How to use Twitter by Howcast isn't bad.
Got it? Great.
Find and Follow Relevant Users
So how do you go about it? Let's say you'd like to learn a bit more about our favorite topic--E-Learning. The core method for learning about a topic with Twitter is to follow users who discuss that topic. To learn about E-Learning, start to follow users who tweet useful information about E-learning.
How do we find these users? OK I'll give you an easy one. Follow us @learningcouncil (click on the link and then click the Follow button)
Find and Follow Relevant Lists
Great, now you are following one account who tweets about E-learning. How do we find more? Time to learn about Twitter lists. Lists allow Twitter users to organize the people they follow into groups. By segmenting your following list into groups, you can then filter tweets from your main stream and just view the tweets originating from a selected list. More importantly, for our purpose, you can also subscribe to other people's lists.
Want to see what lists we've created for you on @learningcouncil? Click on the Lists menu item, and you should see the Best of E-Learning List (or you can click on this link) If you want tweets from all the people that belong to this list to appear in your Twitter stream just click on the Follow this List button. The cool part of this is as we curate this list (by adding people that are providing great resources or removing people who are generating too much noise) your Twitter stream will automatically adjust. Want to be more selective or just curious about who we have on our list? Click on the Following Tab. Another list worth following is @microassist's ASTD list.
Use Twitter's Search Function
More? You want to find more great users to follow. Well two suggestions. In the black bar on the top of your Twitter page there's a Who to Follow button. Click on it and Twitter will give you suggestions on who to follow. If you spend a bit of time finding great people to follow your Twitter stream should have tweets that are related to our favorite topic E-learning. If you find a user who's not contributing to your learning unfollow them.
Another way of finding great resources is to search the Twitter stream for topics of interest. For example, type in "Elearning" Voila! You get tweets related to Elearning.
The Learning Solutions 2011 conference is in progress right now (yep as I type this article). Want to keep up with tweets from the conference? Search for #LS2011. #LS2011 is the hashtag for the conference. Wait! What's a hashtag? The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages. Go to Twitter's page on Hashtags to learn more.
Start Conversations
A little secret about Twitter, if you follow users a certain percentage of them will follow you back. If you start posting tweets on a particular topic, users interested in that topic will start following you. Over time you will build up a network of users who are interested in a topic. If you see someone ask a question, hit the Reply button on your Twitter client and answer it (Twitter has a blog post on replying, if you'd like to learn more). Need a question answered? Ask. Don't be discouraged if you don't get a reply initially (if it's about E-learning try asking us by including @learningcouncil in your Tweet--we'll try to answer or get our followers to answer).
Whew! A long post. Other thoughts on how to use Twitter as part of your personal learning network? Comment or Tweet.

Opinion of wweisgarber about:
The order shipped fast and secure. The product, Ava 27's are excellent and well made. They work well and cast fine with about a 9' rod. In the fall the Ava's are deadly with Stripers along the Jersey Shore, especially when they are chasing sand eels close to the beach. Will buy again. Thanks, Captain Bill.

Fall to No.1 Union in TSAC Semifinals
Click for Box Scor
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – NAIA No. 20 Trevecca (19-11) lost in the TranSouth Semifinals at No. 1 and undefeated Union University (31-0) on Friday by the score of 82-74. Trevecca's seniors are now 99-33 in their career.
Jennifer Bognar (Hillsboro) became the third member of this Trevecca team to surpass the 1,000 point career scoring mark. Mariska Reed and Kristin Archie are also in the 1,000 point club. Bognar is the eighth player in Trevecca women's basketball history to surpass the 1,000 point scoring mark.
The game didn't start until 8:15 p.m. because the Trevecca bus was caught in traffic on the interstate due to a traffic accident. Once past the accident winter weather delayed their progress further. The game was scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m.
Trevecca jumped out to a 3-0 start and didn't allow a Union basket until the 15:01 mark of the first half. Trevecca led until Union tied the game at 11 with 10:39 to go in the first half. Union didn't gain the lead (19-17) until the 6:33 mark. Union pulled ahead by 10 points (38-28) and lead at the half 38-30.
Trevecca cut the Union lead to just four points on a couple of occasions in the second half. The first came at the 17:38 mark (39-35) and the second came at the 16:51 mark (41-37) of the second half. Trevecca later cut the game to five points (58-53) with 10:45 to go in the game. Union pulled ahead again and lead by as many as 16 points before the Trojans cut to eight (82-74) for the final score.
Mariska Reed led Trevecca with 22 points and shared the team high in rebounding (6) with K.C. Van Atta. Abby Lawson (13) and Kristin Archie (13) also reached double-figure scoring. Reed was 7-of-10 from the field and hit 4-of-5 from beyond the three point line.
Trevecca will advance to the NAIA National Tournament in Jackson, Tenn. The tournament will run from March 19 through the 25th.

Civil Rights Coalition: TSA Violates Travelers' Rights
Amy E. Ferrer, Associate Director
Bill of Rights Defense Committee
(413) 582-0110
Washington, DC—Late last week, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), supported by the Bill of Rights Defense Committee (BORDC), filed a lawsuit in federal court, seeking an emergency stay of TSA's controversial airport body scanner program.
Arguing that the airport security program violates several federal laws and the Constitutional right to privacy, the coalition urges a federal appeals court to suspend the program.
"The TSA has disregarded virtually every law and constitutional principle that applies to the operation of the body scanner program. This lawsuit is critical to uphold the rule of law," said Chip Pitts, president of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee's board of directors, and a plaintiff in the lawsuit. Marc Rotenberg, president of EPIC and lead counsel in the case, said the TSA program is "unlawful, invasive, and ineffective."
According to the coalition's filing, the TSA program violates the federal Privacy Act, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the Administrative Procedures Act, and the Fourth Amendment, as the body scanners are highly invasive and are applied to all air travelers without any particular suspicion.
In an earlier a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit concerning the body scanner program, EPIC succeeded in obtaining government records revealing that the TSA required the devices to be able to store and record images of naked air travelers.
Taking note of that revelation, the coalition has also argued that the body scanner program, which makes it possible for TSA officials to observe air travelers stripped naked, violates the religious beliefs of some air travelers.
The case is EPIC, et al. v. DHS, et al., No. 10-1157. D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, filed July 2, 2010.
About BORDC
Formed in 2001, The Bill of Rights Defense Committee (BORDC) is a national non-profit grassroots organization. We defend the rule of law and rights and liberties challenged by overbroad national security and counter-terrorism policies. BORDC supports an ideologically, ethnically, geographically, and generationally diverse grassroots movement to protect and restore these principles by encouraging widespread civic participation; educating people about the significance of our rights; and cultivating grassroots networks to convert concern, outrage, and fear into debate and action.
