Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:
Good afternoon. My name is Judson Starr and I am very pleased to accept your invitation to provide my perspective on the federal environmental crimes program and to suggest areas where there is more work to be done.
Personal Background
After I returned from Vietnam in the early 70's and while attending Georgetown University Law School, I had the privilege to work on the staff of Bill Ruckelshaus during his first tenure as EPA's Administrator and also at the Environmental Law Institute, a local environmental think tank. Once I had my law degree, however, I turned to criminal law. That combination of environmental and criminal law led me to the US Department of Justice in 1978. At Justice I first held the title of Director of the Environmental Crimes Unit. Later I became the first Chief of the Environmental Crimes Section. During my decade at Justice, I worked closely with my counterpart at the Environmental Protection Agency and others in implementing a federal environmental crimes program. In 1988 I left the Justice Department to head the Environmental and Energy practice at the Venable law firm, then and now chaired by former US Attorney General, Benjamin Civiletti.
My practice concentrates primarily on advising individuals and corporations on environmental compliance and management systems, conducting internal investigations where wrongdoing is a concern and in representing those charged with violations of environmental laws. I therefore have spent roughly half of my professional career prosecuting environmental criminal cases and the other half representing those with serious or potentially serious environmental problems.
Background of the Environmental Crimes Program
For more than two decades I have experienced or observed many of the "growing pains" in the development of this program. I have watched Congress change the federal environmental statutes, which once were only misdemeanor sanctions, to felonies. The strengthening by Congress of these sanctions made a significant impact in capturing the attention at that time of US Attorneys offices, judges and investigative agencies which previously treated federal environmental crimes as a much lower priority when they were misdemeanors. In an attempt to achieve a higher standard of corporate accountability, which is no small issue today, I have seen the development of the Responsible Corporate Officer Doctrine, a doctrine peculiar to this field, take hold and be refined. In the process, this doctrine has made it easier for the government to prosecute individual corporate officers. Since 1987 I have seen the application of federal sentencing guidelines to individuals who have now been sentenced to lengthy periods of incarceration. Until these guidelines were enacted, judges generally treated environmental wrongdoing as a mere regulatory violation.
I have also watched as EPA's investigators obtained law enforcement authority and no longer were treated as the "poor stepchild" in the law enforcement community. I have also seen the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia expand its basic and advanced curriculum to ensure that federal and state law enforcement officials are properly trained about how to build the environmental criminal case. I have witnessed the evolution of the prototypical defendant grow from so-called Mom and Pop entities to the point where, particularly in the maritime field, well known, large corporations have been targeted, charged and convicted. Lastly, I watched the program work through its "political baptism" during the end of the first Bush Administration and the beginning of the Clinton Administration when then House Commerce Committee Chairman Dingell held lengthy oversight hearings into how cases were being handled by the Department of Justice during that period of time.
Present Times
Since the tragedy of September 11, I have been very concerned about the direction of this program. No one can argue that intentional and serious environmental crimes that can have a significant adverse effect on the public health and welfare should not be prosecuted. But I wonder whether the priorities after 9/11 may have changed the definition of villain so as to omit the environmental criminal. For the past year EPA criminal investigators have been tasked to assist at the site of the World Trade Center and at the Pentagon and to shift their time and attention to other anti-terrorism efforts. Will the focus of EPA's investigators permanently move to where the resources and the spotlight shine on an even greater danger than "ordinary" environmental crimes?
Furthermore, and somewhat unrelated to 9/11 issues, what will happen in the cities like Boston, Baltimore, Houston, and others where individual prosecutors with extensive experience in environmental crimes have been transferred to other, more pressing matters or simply moved on professionally? To the best of my knowledge, out of the 94 US Attorney offices, only the offices in Syracuse, Miami, Seattle and Anchorage, currently have experienced criminal prosecutors assigned to do these environmental cases.
It is self evident that the Department of Justice cannot do cases alone. The government's latest initiative -- the prosecution of those in the maritime field -- has been very successful if success can be measured by the strengthening of an industry's environmental compliance programs to a much higher level when much less emphasis was placed on these programs only a short time before. The involvement of the Coast Guard in that initiative has been essential. However, post 9/11 there are many other demands placed upon the Coast Guard. While the FBI has contributed to the prosecution of environmental cases, the FBI has also experienced even greater demands on its priorities. And, as noted, the EPA has found itself shouldering new burdens. What do these events mean, however, for the prosecution of these cases? My sense from speaking to people across the country is that environmental enforcement, and environmental crimes particularly, is no longer the priority it once was.
Reprioritization of investigative and prosecutorial resources away from serious environmental crimes at this time, would, in my opinion, be the wrong step. This is because the relationship between the environment and internal security and anti-terrorism efforts is a critical one. Most companies which have considered the lessons of 9/11 have looked to their environmental compliance units to also beef-up security and anti-terrorism efforts. We must remember that policing a pipeline, a port or terminal, and overseeing the transportation of hazardous waste, from a security or anti-terrorist perspective, is only an extension, not a departure, from otherwise normal environmental compliance activities. For example, the American Chemistry Council and other Associations have published "Site Security Guidelines for the U.S. Chemical Industry," that is meant to be easily adapted into most existing environmental, health and safety compliance programs, particularly those that follow the standards in the Federal Sentencing Guidelines compliance program. I might also suggest that Congress consider legislation that would mandate coordination of the functions of environmental compliance with anti-terrorism security.
However, if federal criminal enforcement efforts are diminished because of other pressing priorities, so also will be the authority of the corporate environmental officers charged with internal compliance with the environmental laws in a large number of companies. The people who perform these essential functions within the corporate hierarchy are sometimes perceived as producing little that can be attributed to the bottom line. They derive their powers from another source. What I have seen time and time again is that their powers emanate from a fear - a fear that if they do not do their job well, their company and their bosses might be exposed to criminal liability. A strong criminal enforcement program that wisely selects cases appropriate for criminal prosecution is essential to their empowerment and therefore to protection of our nation's health, welfare, safety and natural resources. They are also a part of our overall homeland security.
As always, emphasis must be placed on the wise selection of cases. The Department of Justice is often criticized, sometimes with justification, for how it exercises its wide discretionary powers in the cases it brings. The discretion is wider in environmental cases than in any other area of criminal law. My colleague and also a former Chief of the Environmental Crimes Section, Ron Sarachan, will address some of those case selection issues. However, if the goal is to obtain greater compliance with the environmental laws, and not to see how many people can be put in jail or how high corporate fines can exponentially grow, choosing clearly the cases to focus on and enunciating a unified DOJ/EPA centralized system will give the program greater credibility.
Mr. Chairman, I appreciate your invitation to present my views to the Subcommittee and I look forward to answering any questions you may have.

I would not recommend making this. The "quick" is totally incorrect. It took double the time for the rice to cook.
Yoga Joy4 Mar, 2014
I tinkered with the recipe a bit to reflect what I had on hand (Subbed hot links for andouille, creole seasoning for old bay, red bell pepper for green) The rice needed a lot more time to cook. Probably would have taken 30 minutes for rice to cook IF the heat had been kept on low. Aside from that, the jambalaya was very easy & quite yummy.
SimpleLifeandHome4 May, 2012
Oh-me-oh-my! It was delicious! Even better: my kids loved it, too. I didn't have the Old Bay seasoning, so I added a little paprika and thyme, plus cayenne pepper for some kick. I'm always looking for new recipes to make dinner more exciting, and this recipe hit the spot. Definitely making this again!

yummy. love it.

This was very good and easy to make. It all came together pretty fast. The only thing I might change would be to add a little more rice next time.

Tax ratification could eliminate school budget deficitAugust 20, 2012, 9:00 pm by Adam Troxtell School officials are accounting for a net deficit of just over $400,000 in the 2012-13 Marble Falls ISD budget ahead of a tax ratification election that could make up for that amount. The draft budget was presented at the school board meeting Monday night, and it accounts for a $2.2 million decrease in revenues. Expenditures were slashed by $700,000 from last year, but Accounting Supervisor Lisa LeMon said that number could creep closer to 2011-12 numbers. If voters approve the district's tax shift on Aug. 25, the increase in funds would eliminate most of that deficit while reducing taxes by a penny at the same time.

Midnight Moon Apple Pie is a handcrafted blend of midnight moon, apple juice and a cinnamon stick. As they blend and age, these ingredients create a 70 proof (35% alc./vol.) Spirit that tastes just like homemade apple pie.
Piedmont Distillers Founder, Joe Michalek, is a native New Yorker who moved to North Carolina in 1995. Through his job in marketing, Joe had the opportunity to travel the South attending music festivals, NASCAR races and the like. On one such adventure, Joe found himself in a cabin in the woods listening to a jam session by local blues legends, when someone handed him a jar of peach moonshine. At first, Joe was apprehensive to take a sip. After all, he didnt know where it came from or who made it. He did not hesitate long, after all this was the stuff of legends. He took a sip of the illicit brew and was surprised that it tasted great and was very smooth. Over the next several years, moonshine became Joes passion. He read books, tasted all sorts of recipes, watched documentaries and eventually earned the trust of local moonshiners. These old-timers shared their recipes, distilling techniques and general tricks of the trade. Once he had learned as much as he could, Joe decided it was time to share North Carolina moonshine with the rest of the world. Piedmont Distillers opened its doors in 2005, with our first spirit Catdaddy Carolina Moonshine. Catdaddy harkens back to the moonshining days-of-old with its corn recipe, secret flavors, copper still and small batch process. In May of 2007, moonshine and racing legend Junior Johnson became part owner of Piedmont Distillers and together we introduced Junior Johnsons Midnight Moon. It is based on the Johnson familys generations-old moonshine recipe. It is also born in a copper still, made from corn, crafted in small batches and triple distilled. While our first two spirits are moonshines, Piedmont Distillers does not consider itself strictly a moonshine distillery. Rather, our focus is on hand-crafted, superior quality spirits that are made one small batch at a time. We are constantly innovating new spirits that embrace distilling traditions and ingredients of the region, excite the palate and the senses, and offer people something different than whats typically on the store shelves. Piedmont Distillers is a small operation with fewer than ten employees. We are located in the town of Madison (pop. 2000). The distillery is housed in the towns former train station built in 1915. Madison, North Carolina is exactly what you might imagine. A small, Southern town filled with kind folks, many of whom have lived here their entire lives.

"You get 100 games into it and you find yourself way back, then you say this isn't the year," Rollins said on May 9 when the Phils were just five games back.
There you have it.
And don't expect Manuel to call another meeting any time soon.
"We've had enough meetings, believe me," Manuel said.
This stat doesn't help matters: The Phillies would need to go 48-19 (.716 winning percentage) to finish with 89 wins, which according to Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press, is what the second wild card team has averaged since 2000.
And let's not forget that good teams win at home. They take advantage of knowing how a ball comes off the wall. They feed off the crowd's every cheer. And they get the pleasure of sleeping in their own beds and getting to the ball park on their terms, not when the team bus is arriving.
The Phillies at home this year are pathetic.
They are 17-29 in South Philly (.369 winning percent) and have lost six in a row at Citizens Bank Park entering Saturday. They have won only four of the 15 series played at home (nine series losses, two ties) and have yet to have a winning homestand (four losses, four splits).
Phillies pitchers own a 4.19 ERA at home, 11th in the NL, and they've been outscored 206-173 this year. Their 173 runs scored at home are 13th in the league (although 11 teams have played more home games than them).
Tickets are still selling, although the stadium isn't as packed as it used to be. But if this continues, the string of 250 consecutive, regular-season sellouts will end sooner rather than later.
Twitter @inthephilshouse
Ryan Zimmerman (Washington Nationals) … The third baseman is a big reason his team is atop the NL East standings. In his last seven games, he hit .423 (11-for-26). More than half of his hits (6) have gone for extra bases (three doubles, three home runs) during that stretch. He was one of only five players in the league with three home runs in the last week. And he has five RBIs.
Bryce Harper (Washington Nationals) … The rookie, who's already become known for making a splash with his speed and hustle, hit .167 (5-foro-30) in his previous seven games. He had only one extra-base hit and one RBI over the last week.
105: Triples for Jimmy Rollins and Jose Reyes, who are tied for most career triples among active players.
CATCHING UP WITH FORMER PHILLIE … Ben Francisco. The outfielder was just traded this weekend from Toronto to Houston. In 27 games with the Blue Jays, Francisco hit .240 (12-for-50) with two RBIs, five doubles and a triple. During the 2 1/2 seasons he spent in Philadelphia from 2009-11, he batted .259 with 17 home runs and 75 RBIs in 225 games.
Did you know?
Roy Halladay, who is starting Tuesday's game, needs just four strikeouts to reach 2,000 for his career. … Is one of only two players to lead the AL and NL in stole bases (Ron LeFlore is the other). … Erik Kratz has his degree in business administration from Eastern Mennonite University. … Chase Utley needs 10 home runs for 200 in his career and Ryan Howard is 12 shy of 300. … Under Charlie Manuel (since 2005), the Phillies have the second-best, second-half record in MLB (317-200). Only the Yankees (326-198) have more post All-Star break wins during that stretch.

Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network
The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network is a group of programs funded by CDC to estimate the number of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and other developmental disabilities living in different areas of the United States. The ADDM Network sites all collect data using the same methods, which are modeled after CDC's Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Surveillance Program (MADDSP).
ADDM Network goals are to:
- Provide data about how common ASDs are in a specific place and time period (also known as prevalence),
- Describe the population of children with ASDs,
- Compare how common ASDs are in different areas of the country,
- Identify changes in ASD occurrence over time, and
- Understand the impact of ASD and related conditions in US communities.
Why is the ADDM Network Important?
Watch this video to learn more
What We've Learned
CDC estimates that about 1 in 88 children has been identified with an ASD. These estimates from the ADDM Network are based on data collected from health and special education records of children living in 14 areas of the United States during 2008. These 14 communities comprised over eight percent of the United States population of 8-year-olds in 2008. Information was collected on children who were 8 years old because previous work has shown that, by this age, most children with ASDs have been identified for services.
In 2007, CDC's ADDM Network first reported that about 1 in 150 children had an ASD (based on 2002 data from 14 communities). Then, in 2009, the ADDM Network reported that 1 in 110 children had an ASD (based on 2006 data from 11 communities). This means that the estimated prevalence of ASDs increased 23% during 2006 to 2008 and 78% during 2002 to 2008.
Here are the key findings from our most recent report:
- The number of children identified with ASDs varied widely across the 14 ADDM Network sites, from 1 in 47 to 1 in 210.
- More children were diagnosed at earlier ages—a growing number of them by age 3. Still, most children were not diagnosed until after they reached age 4.
- On average, diagnosis was a bit earlier for children with autistic disorder (4 years) than for children with the more broadly defined autism spectrum diagnoses (4 years, 5 months), and diagnosis was much later for children with Asperger disorder (6 years, 3 months).
- Almost 5 times as many boys were identified with ASDs than girls (1 in 54 compared to 1 in 252).
- White children were more likely than Black or Hispanic children to be identified as having ASDs, but the largest increases during 2002-2008 were among Hispanic children (110%) and Black children (91%).
- The majority (62%) of children identified as having ASDs did not have intellectual disability (intelligence quotient <=70).

Current ADDM Network Activities
- The ADDM Network is now in its 3rd phase of funding. Currently there are 12 ADDM Network sites monitoring the prevalence of ASDs among 8-year-old children living in these communities during 2010.
- CDC has also provided supplemental funding to six ADDM Network sites to monitor the prevalence of ASDs among younger children (4-year-olds) using ADDM Network methods. These efforts will increase our understanding of the characteristics and early identification of younger children with ASDs.
- Some ADDM Network sites also study the prevalence of other developmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, hearing loss, and vision impairment.

Again with the Google! This time it's GV Mobile (short for Google Voice, the re-branded Grand Central service) and the above video comes courtesy of Sean Kovacs.
If it's a correct reflection of what we'll see when/if GV Mobile hits the App Store, then it seems to be focused primarily on using Google Voice to make almost Skype-like calls. Google Voice is, of course, far more than a simple calling service, so you also get SMS sending (receiving is handled via the built-in, default iPhone SMS/Messages app), as well as voicemail.
So, is this the Google Voice goodness you've been waiting for?
Isn't skype still better cause if it calls the phone then it will be using minutes what's the advantage??? Am I missing something???
Anyone know what kind of iPhone or iPhone case that was in the YouTube link above? I've never seen anything like it...
Why would this replace Skype? All it does is route your call to/from the numbers you select...it uses standard POTS - not Internet telephony. For example, when I dial out from the app on my iPhone GV actually makes 2 calls -- one to my cell (or whatever other number I want it to dial) and the person I want to call. This really isn't anything like Skype...
I don't see this as a threat to skype.
You end up using your minutes, either to receive the call or to call back.
Skype to skype on the iphone will be better as soon as the FCC beats ATT into submission and we get notifications.
I'm glad everyone likes the video!
I'm curious, in this forum, if the iPhone users here would like to see more videos like this demoing apps. Most of the ones I've seen are more of the "dark and grainy" variety, and I was thinking of marketing videos done like this to app developers. Would you be more likely to buy an app if it had a nice-looking and nice-sounding demo video?
Also, I'd love to get feedback on the video itself. I did it very quickly with no lights and some cutting corners on the editing (things I totally wouldn't have done if I knew it was going to get this much exposure!), so I know that there are a few things that could be improved. What else could I do better next time, if someone actually hires me to do this?
And to Sean: the iPhone case is the Power Support Air Jacket for the iPhone 3G.
@adam the vid was great! Nice job. This looks like a revolutionary app and product in its entirety to moi. Wish I could and will attempt to get on the user based ground floor with this one. At the very least I will dl on the first pr.
This app is definitely something that I've been wanting. I've used GC and now GV for the past two years as my work number, but using the GV mobile website is clumsy at best (though better than nothing).
It's for people who somehow need to use phone services via the internet at no extra charge. It's probably very useful for traveling, but other than that... I don't get it either.
Not exactly Steve. It has a little different focus than does Skype.
With GV you get a phone number. That phone number will find you, either in the office, or on your cell, or at home, and it will forward the call to you.
If it can't find you it will take a voice mail.
Why not just carry a cell phone in your pocket and give THAT number out i hear you asking.
Because when Bob is covering your desk when you are skiing in the Alps, then you would have to give Bob your phone.
Its more of a permanent phone number, with a self managed switch board attached. And it does most of those other skype things as well. But it doesn't assure you of free calls.
The focus isn't about free phone calls, its about maintaining contact via one phone number regardless of where you are.
I run a PTA. We give parents our gvoice phone number and send the call out to each of the board members phones. This makes sure that they can always reach someone and we don't have to give out our home phones.
Looks like this app didn't get approved by Apple/Itunes.

I Will Shoot You From Afar: DIY Wolverine Claws Made Out Of Ice Skating Blades
This is a kid posing with his homemade Wolverine claws. He says he made them for $5 out of nothing but a couple old pairs of thrift store ice skates, a couple nails, a couple bolts, and access to an acetylene torch and bench grinder. Really -- and for only $5?! You sure you don't want to come clean about anything? There's nothing wrong with priding yourself on frugality, but you and I both know those are at least $8 claws. The jig is up!
Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a link to the Instructable to make your own, just don't expect to make a pair for under $10 like this liar. Three pairs of thrift store ice skates for $1.75 apiece -- please.

Samsung Digimax i5 review
Its feature set is both competitive and interesting, and it has a top-notch 64mm LCD, but the 5-megapixel Samsung Digimax i5 can't keep pace with the competition when it comes to speed and photo quality
- Useful, broad feature set
- Large, bright LCD
- Ultraportable
- Solid build
- Voice-recording mode
- Included text-recognition software
- Strong video-recording features
- Large internal memory
- Slow performance
- Below-average picture quality
- Not as intuitive to use as competition
- Not suited for wide-angle shooting
Available in black (pictured), red and silver, the Samsung Digimax i5 is solidly built, ultraportable and generally comfortable to hold. Until you power the camera on, a small metal door protects the nonprotruding 3x zoom lens and the flash. When shooting, it's easy to block the lens with your fingers if you're not careful. Although the camera lacks room for an optical viewfinder, the 64mm LCD is large, bright and useful under all but the most extreme lighting conditions.
Buttons for shutter release, power and the Safety Flash feature sit along the camera's narrow top edge. The former two caused us some initial fumbling; we found it easier to locate and press the higher-profile Safety Flash button, which boosts the ISO setting so that you can take low-light pictures without the flash. The remaining controls on the rear of the camera are logically arranged and easily accessed, but even the savviest digital photographer will need to read the manual to figure out where to find some of the camera's features.
ISO settings, white-balance selections and colour adjustments to individual RGB channels are well hidden. You reach them by pressing the button marked with an exposure-compensation icon, then pressing the up and down arrows of the four-way controller. Once we discovered this, changing settings became easy. The Night scene mode provides aperture and shutter-speed controls but extremely limited ones.
The Mode button, with its selection of auto, manual, movie and various scene modes, offers pared-down but redundant access to items also accessible via the Menu button. The camera's horizontal menu navigation works differently from most digital cameras' systems and takes a little getting used to, but it actually works well. As you scroll across the top of the LCD, a colour-coded submenu automatically appears for each feature, making it easy to just scroll down and pick the setting you want.
This Samsung offers a good selection of basic controls, including metering, continuous shooting and sharpness. It also provides a number of colour effects. Three unique features, which Samsung dubs 'special effects', include the following: several focus frames that help position subjects for maximum sharpness; a composite feature for combining several shots into one frame; and a function that adds a decorative border to the image. The first two are helpful; the decorative borders are tacky.
Other standout features include the bundled Digimax Reader software, which applies character recognition to convert images shot in Text mode into text files. Its video mode captures 30fps VGA MPEG-4 clips with or without sound. You can operate the zoom while shooting -- which still isn't a common feature -- although the sound recording cuts out while you're zooming. At 50MB, the i5's internal memory is larger than most, allowing you to store 20 highest-quality images, either as a digital album for your favourite photos or in a pinch because you've forgotten your SD/MMC card.
The camera turned in an average performance at best and elicited mumbles of frustration in the continuous-shooting mode, which blacks out the screen while capturing less than 1fps. Both start-up time and shot-to-shot time exceeded two seconds -- and twice that with the flash. Autofocus worked relatively quickly with high-contrast subjects but otherwise wandered and searched before locking in, often on the background rather than the subject. You can turn on the autofocus-assist lamp to improve matters somewhat.
Image quality
We also got uneven image quality from the Samsung Digimax i5. While it produced generally accurate exposures, most of our test shots looked soft and sharpness dropped off noticeably closer to the edges of the frame. Macro shots fared slightly better, but their details appeared less than crisp. We didn't see a major purple-fringing problem, but our photos contained noticeable visual noise, and when we used the Safety Flash mode, the resulting noise made our images virtually useless.

Styling Tip
Step 1: Using your fingers, distribute a dollop of mousse onto towel-dried hair.
Step 2: Blow-dry hair while using a round brush to move two-inch sections forward, rolling the ends under and in toward your face.
Step 3: Create a side part, then apply a dab of pomade on fingertips and slightly twist wispy pieces around your face. Finish off with a light misting of hairspray for all day hold.

Missouri US House races show shifting voting trends
By Charles Minshew
Click on the tabs to see election results from U.S. House of Representative elections in Missouri from 2008, 2010 and 2012. The colors on the map indicate the lead held by each party in counties across the state. In counties, where multiple districts are represented, the party's lead is based on all ballots cast in the county. In 2008, District 1 Congressman Lacy Clay, a Democrat, had no Republican opposition. In 2010, Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer had no Democratic opposition.

Time to retire those old queue manager start and stop scripts?
I remember back when I started a queue manager and I had to start all of the ancillary processes after wards. So I ended up writing start scripts to start the queue manager, the listener, the trigger monitor, the channel initiator, and the command server. Over time, some of those were started as part of the queue manager start up (command server and channel initiator). In version 6 you could define the listener(s) as a queue manager object and tell the queue manager when they should run. In addition you can define a service to start... [More]

Tips for trouble shooting trigger problems in UNIX and Windows environments
Have you set up a queue for triggering and a message is put to the queue that should cause it to trigger but the message just sits there? There's a good chance that there is actually an explanatory message being written but you can't see it. Most people start the trigger monitors in a start script or as a service and so don't get to see the output. Depending on your environment and what changes are allowed, this can be fixed pretty easily. If you are experiencing a triggering issue, you can just kill the trigger monitor and start it again...

HTTPS for Mr. DataFlowEngine
In WebSphere Message Broker V6.x, when running HTTPInput node message flows with HTTPS enabled, you were required to configure HTTPS for biphttplistener at the the broker level. If you were running multiple HTTPInput node message flows in a single broker, all the flows were forced to use the same broker-level biphttplistener process. This meant that a configuration change made to biphttplistener process would affect all the HTTPInput node message flows. In HTTPS terms, this also meant that all the flows were required to use the same... [More]

You're changing the queue managers default listener port. Be very careful, because this could cause channel problems, or other unexpected results, which are difficult to debug. Each queue manager is created with the default listener port set to 1414. This default port is used whenever you choose to omit the port number specification on your channel definitions and other commands. If you are going to use a default listener port other than 1414, then you might want to consider using the same default listener port for all of your queue... [More]

Preparing reflective practitioners
- Nurturing a diverse learning community that values mutuality
- Offering a practice-based curriculum
- Encouraging nonviolent and restorative responses to conflict
- Fostering reflective, value-based practice and critical self-reflection
- Furthering the lifelong process of strengthening and acquiring the skills, knowledge, attitudes and values needed for peacebuilding
- Sustaining a long-term commitment to justice and peace
The master's program in conflict transformation prepares students to creatively work for long-term sustained, structural change, whether in an organization or community or on a large-scale level. The program is practice-oriented; faculty come from the field and the student body is made up of peacebuilding practitioners from around the world.
Students may choose to focus their studies on restorative justice; psychosocial trauma; strategic peacebuilding; community development; or organizational leadership. Students may also choose to create a unique specialization. Students engage in local, mentored practice throughout the program; with faculty and staff support, students work in the local community to develop their skills in concrete ways while addressing key justice issues in the Shenandoah Valley. All students develop a portfolio of practice highlighting skills, research and publications.
"CJP's greatest strength may be that its professors are seasoned reflective practitioners: they have clearly done their homework and their fieldwork. And they teach on their toes with an agility that comes only from enacting their subject matter." –Jonathan McRay, M.A., 2013
Degree Requirements
The Master of Arts in Conflict Transformation is awarded upon successful completion of 45 semester hours. This includes 24 credits of core requirements, courses taken towards a specialization, and electives. Students work with a faculty advisor to establish a course of study that will meet that student's vocational goals. When pursued full time, the program can be completed in two years; limited-residency students normally finish in three to five years. All students are required to spend at least one semester on campus.
To graduate, the student must meet all course and practicum requirements, earn a minimum GPA of 3.00, master program assessment criteria for competency, and obtain formal approval of the faculty for graduation.
Core Requirements
Master of Arts
Foundations for Justice & Peacebuilding I
Foundations for Justice & Peacebuilding II
Practitioner skills courses (Choose at least one):
- Negotiation & Mediation
- Restorative Justice Practices
- Transforming Trauma
- Facilitation: Process Design & Skills for Dialogue, Deliberation & Decision-making
- Conflict Coaching
- Three-Dimensional Negotiation
Research methods (Choose at least one):
Practicum (6-9 credit hours)
Each student is encouraged to develop a specialization within their degree that is aligned with their vocational goals. Students will work with their advisor to assess their interests and goals and will plan their course of study to develop their specialization. A specialization will typically be rooted in two or three thematic courses, complemented by research and skills classes particularly relevant to that area of practice. Each student will be guided toward creating a portfolio of projects that build and demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Learn more about standard tracks or creating your own specialization.
Dual Degree with Master of Divinity
Students at the Center for Justice & Peacebuilding may opt for a dual Master of Arts in Conflict Transformation and Master of Divinity degree, offered in conjunction with Eastern Mennonite Seminary. This degree can be completed in four years of full-time, continuous study, one year less than if each degree were pursued separately. Students wishing take this course of study must be admitted to both programs.
Students are required to complete core requirements in both programs and work closely with advisors in both programs to establish a course of study that meets the student's vocational goals. The dual degree is 111 semester hours: 78 in the seminary (57 hours of core coursework and 21 hours of ministry track electives) and 33 hours at CJP (24 hours of core requirements and specialization courses, and nine hours of electives). Seminary admissions requirements and additional information about the dual degree can be found on the seminary's website.
Graduate Certificate in Conflict Transformation The 15-credit graduate certificate is designed for professionals who wish to develop secondary skills to further their work and organizational mission. The certificate can be completed in two semesters or two summers, or through a combination of summer, online and weekend courses. Participants work with a faculty advisor to develop a program that meets their needs. Required coursework: Foundations I OR Analysis: Understanding Conflict AND Practice: Skills for Peacebuilding.
Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship Also 15 hours, this graduate certificate equips leaders to manage nonprofits and understand how people function within organizations. Offered by EMU's MBA program, with select coursework at CJP.
Graduate Certificate in Theology for Peacebuilding For students wishing to integrate biblical perspectives and peacebuilding studies. This certificate, offered by Eastern Mennonite Seminary , is 24 credit hours and combines 15 credit hours of coursework at the seminary and nine (including Analysis and Practice) at the Center for Justice & Peacebuilding.
NEW Graduate Certificate in Restorative Justice Are you a restorative justice practitioner or an international transitional justice consultant? This 18-credit-hour certificate will increase your knowledge and skills and provide space to reflect on your work.
