The first of the 388 workers arrested in the immigration raid on the Agriprocessors meatpacking plant in
The Postville raid was one of the many recent immigration operations leading to criminal charges and deportations for thousands of people. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff calls this "closing the back door." Meanwhile, his department seeks to "open the front door" by establishing new guest-worker programs, called "close to slavery" by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Something is clearly wrong with the priorities of immigration enforcement. Hungry and desperate workers go to jail and get deported. The government protects employers and seeks to turn a family-based immigration system into a managed labor supply for business. Yet national political campaigns say less and less about it. Immigrant Latino and Asian communities feel increasingly afraid and frustrated. Politicians want their votes, but avoid talking about the rising wave of arrests, imprisonment, and deportations.
This month national demonstrations across the nation are protesting the silence, asking candidates to speak out. Immigrant communities expect a new deal from a new administration, especially from Democrats. They want a new
In its first 100 days, a new administration could take these simple steps to benefit immigrants and working families:
* Stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from seeking serious Federal criminal charges, with incarceration in privately run prisons, for lacking papers or for bad Social Security numbers. * Stop raiding workplaces, especially where workers are trying to organize unions or enforce wage and hour laws. This would help all workers, not just immigrants, to raise low wages. * Double the paltry 742 federal inspectors responsible for all
After the first 100 days, Democrats will have to decide what reforms to bring before Congress, and when. Some would delay action for a year or more. But the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and dozens of trade groups won't sit on their hands. They've been pushing for years for big guest-worker programs, more raids and enforcement, and a weak legalization program. But many immigrant and labor rights activists advocate three steps toward an alternative, more progressive reform:
1. A moratorium on raids, while protecting human and labor rights, in the first 100 days. 2. A law to give green-card visas to the undocumented and clear up the backlog of people already waiting for them. If visas are more easily available abroad, people won't have to cross the border without them. That law could also create jobs in unemployed communities, repeal employer sanctions laws that make work a crime for immigrants, and encourage labor law reform to protect workers' rights. Guest-worker programs with a record of abuse should be ended, as they were in 1964. 3. A new approach to trade policy and renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), so they stop causing poverty and uprooting communities, making migration peoples' only alternative for survival. Reject new trade agreements with countries like
There's common ground here among immigrants, communities of color, unions, churches, civil rights organizations, and working families. Legalization and immigrant rights, tied to guaranteeing jobs for all working families, can bring people together. All workers, including immigrants, need the right to organize and enforce labor standards, the same goal sought by unions in the Employee Free Choice Act. Changing trade policy will benefit working-class communities in the
The diverse communities who need these reforms can and will find ways to seek them together. In fact, if Barack Obama wins the presidency and a larger Democratic majority takes hold in Congress, they will owe their victory to this coalition.
After the election, this same coalition will need jobs and rights. But immigrant workers are going to jail now. The wave of raids continues to divide families, even as candidates hold rallies and ask for votes. In
Promises of change aren't enough. For candidates who want working-class votes, the first step is to speak out.

Tanglewood's mission is to teach Maine youth and adults to be effective and caring citizens of the earth through affordable environmental education and nature-based experiences. Tanglewood's vision is to create a place where people learn to live responsibly and in balance with the earth. It encourages reflection and respect, while inspiring change within ourselves and our communities.
Since its inception, Tanglewood has been a place where children and adults could come to and learn how to better care for the earth. The mission and vision of Tanglewood are rooted in the firm belief that making connections to nature and each other as a community will foster a deep understanding of how to live responsibly and in balance with the earth.
'To live responsibly and in balance with the earth' is what Tanglewood is all about, and Tanglewood strives to strike balance with the earth through a sustainable lifestyle.
But what is sustainability?
Lester Brown of the Worldwatch Institute defines a sustainable society as "one that satisfies its needs without diminishing the prospects of future generations." Great. But how does Tanglewood strive to be a model of sustainability?
Historically, Tanglewood has emphasized sustainable concepts through its programming. Campers learn about the details of ecosystems and basic ecological principles that guide them to understand that everything in nature is connected, even themselves.
Campers and staff are encouraged to think outside the box and push Tanglewood toward becoming a more sustainable community. Many initiatives that have been adopted have come from staff and campers. What new ideas do you have? We would love to hear them!
Here are some of our sustainability highlights:
Local Food…Tanglewood's Garden.
Local food… teaching healthy, sustainable eating habits
Reducing trash:
Measuring Waste, Creating Compost
Garbology: the study of garbage
Taking recycling to a new level
Chickens and goats, oh my!
In 2011 Tangled Tuesdays began as a day to celebrate all things sustainable and green
Environmentally conscious and safe cleaning products
Greener Bathrooms
Sustainability built into all Tanglewood's programming

Enchanting cabin near Mt. Rainier park entrance!
My husband and I booked the Laze Daze cabin for part of our 10th anniversary trip from the east coast. Neither of us had been to Washington State before and we wanted to experience Mt. Rainier, so we were excited when we found this wonderful cabin online that was so close to the Nisqually Entrance of Mt. Rainier NP. The owners, Dovey and DeWain, have made this extraordinary little cabin into such a gem! After having driven straight to the cabin (with a stop at the Copper Creek Inn to pick up a fresh blackberry pie - a must do - the best pie I have ever eaten) from Seattle where we had flown in that morning from the east coast, my husband and I were exhausted and it was rainy and chilly outside. When we got to the cabin and opened the door, we were greeted with warmth from a lit woodstove and classical music playing softly in the background. On the table, we found a sweet Happy Anniversary card from Dovey and DeWain and note welcoming us to the cabin from Brenda, the housekeeper. I loved everything about this cabin; the hardwood floors, immaculate bathroom, comfy beds, and even the small deer that visited us the first couple of days we were there and ate the provided deer food right out of our hands! The Stellar Jays, of course, were close by to eat any food remnants the deer left behind! The cabin is surrounded by huge trees and enormous ferns, giving you a sense of awe at the old growth forests surrounding you. My husband and I feel very fortunate to have stayed at Laze Daze cabin. It was a truly memorable experience that I will highly recommend to everyone I know!

ONEIDA COUNTY (WAOW) - A house fire in Oneida County has left a husband and a wife dead.
Autopsies positively identified the victims as Mark and Kaye Juel of Harshaw. Crews found their bodies Tuesday, after the fire destroyed their home about 20 miles west of Rhinelander.
Kaye Juel worked in the Oneida County Jail for more than 30 years and as the Jail Administrator for 20 years.
Investigators say they worked closely with Kaye on numerous occasions and she will be greatly missed.
"If there's a memory that I cherish it is sitting in this room and letting her talk about her grand kids and the time she got to spend with them," Lt. Lloyd Gauthier said. "She was well-known, respected and loved by all of us. This is a difficult time."
The cause of the fire is not yet know. The investigation has been turned over the to state's Fire Marshall.

After clinching a playoff spot, the Atlanta Braves rushed the field. But it wasn't a spontaneous celebration that erupted with Wild Card fever and fervor. They rushed the field because Freddie Freeman hit a two-run walk-off homer. If it wasn't a walk-off, there probably wouldn't have been anything different about the post-game celebration. There were never going to be bottles of champagne or locker-room interviews just for clinching one of the two Wild Card spots.
The Braves don't get to celebrate anything this year. At least, nothing in the regular season. They're in a weird spot -- good enough to run away with the first Wild Card, not good enough to win the division. They're officially the first "Whoop-di-freaking-do, we won a Wild Card" team of the new era.
The American League is filled with teams that currently have some serious tunnel vision, scratching and clawing for one of the available Wild Cards. The Orioles and A's have the inside track, but the Angels and Rays are charging back, and the A's have a tough schedule, while the Orioles and Rays finish out the season playing head-to-head, which gives everyone that much more of a chance, and the last week is going to be nuts, seriously nuts, with the ups and the downs and the lefts and the rights …
But they're all playing for the right to a single game. A one-game playoff, after which one of the teams will look up and say, wait, what just happened? One-hundred-and-sixty-two games for this? They don't have time to think about that right now.
The Braves get it. They're waiting around for a game. Anything can happen in a game. Mark Whiten can hit four homers in one game. Bengie Molina can hit for the cycle. A good pitch, down in the zone, can get ripped for a bases-clearing double. The worst team in baseball can score three runs against the best reliever in baseball. Every individual game has high potential for complete nonsense to occur. There's no safety net.
If there's a franchise that can't get too upset about being the first "Whoop-di-freaking-do, we won a Wild Card" team, it's the Braves, who kept a 103-win team out of the playoffs in the pre-Wild Card era. At least they'll get the chance to advance deep into the playoffs, which is something that teams in their position -- the team with the fifth-best record in the league -- didn't have for a century.
This is a new paradigm, though. And it used to be that a Wild Card berth was worth celebrating because it was a free ride to the playoffs. Over a couple of decades, we got used to that idea. It's weird that a team as talented as the Braves, who have had a playoff spot locked up for close to a month, doesn't get to look forward to a normal playoff berth. The Braves are the first team to taste the bittersweet potential of the new format.
Even before the first Wild Card play-in game, I'm pretty sure I like it. I'm not wild about teams flailing around all season and then getting back into the race with a hot month, but it's hard to argue against the sudden interest and enjoyment that Phillies fans and Brewers fans had in September. Angels fans still have a reason to care. And that Orioles/Rays series might be amazing.
That's all nice. But while I almost feel bad that the Braves have a playoff spot sewn up and little to celebrate -- that's "almost," Royals fans; don't throw things at me -- the best part of the new format is the death of the "Whoop-di-freaking-do, we won the division" team. Those used to exist, you know. "Cool, we won the division. Looks like an extra home game in the playoffs for us! Maybe."
The Braves have had an excellent season, but the Nationals have been even better. Their reward? Their long, long, six-month trudge isn't going to hinge on the vagaries of a single game. They'll still have to play a short series, and all manner of weird things can still happen, but it's not wholly dependent on one starting pitcher not having his best stuff, or a normally sure-handed third baseman booting a ball at exactly the wrong time.
It's a weird, almost-hollow feeling for a team like the Braves, that probably feels like they should have something to celebrate. But the divisional races are back, and they mean far, far more than they used to, which is a tradeoff that most of us will take. It used to be that a division crown was worth something only to teams that weren't good enough to qualify for the Wild Card if they lost -- sort of like the White Sox and Tigers this year.
Instead, it's the Nationals feeling a little comfortable with their preparations for the playoffs, and the Braves feeling a little uncomfortable. It's not how it used to be, but it's almost certainly better. I wanted to hate the second Wild Card. But it's won me over, even before the first play-in game. It took a team not getting especially excited over a guaranteed Wild Card spot to make me realize it.

Newly christened Max Miller Walk already suffering from neglect and vandalism
4:50am Wednesday 26th February 2014 in News
A commemorative walk named in memory of a pioneering British comedian is suffering from neglect and vandalism.
Max Miller Walk, named for stand up comedian Thomas Henry Sargent, better known by his stage name, Max Miller, was unveiled last year in a special ceremony to mark the 50th anniversary of his death.
The walk, which runs alongside Marine Parade, has now fallen into disrepair and has been marked by graffiti artists.
Max Miller was a Brighton native, being born in Kemp Town in 1894, and was a star of stage, songs and the early screen.
On May 6 last year, the Mayor and Mayoress of Brighton and Hove and television presenter Michael Aspel OBE revealed the street sign in memory of The Cheeky Chappie.

Ultimate Spider-Man: With 'Toon Power Comes Reading Responsibility [Pt. 1]A tv news article
Children holding comic books… say it ain't so! Well, today on this gloomy afternoon at Sunset Boulevard's Meltdown Comics, there was nothing short of bright smiles from youngsters for the Ultimate Spider-Man Release Party. Kids whose parents were smart and hip enough to bring them to the event were even treated with an early viewing of the cartoon (debuts April 1st on Disney XD), Spider-Man photo-ops, a chance to meet The Avengers' "Agent Coulson" Clark Gregg, and cupcakes. Spider-Man cupcakes.
More importantly, those in attendance were treated to a cool superhero cartoon with enough edge and simplicity to keep all goers happy. Before the screening at Meltdown's Nerdist Theater, both media members and fans received free copies of an Ultimate Spider-Man (animated) comic book and were able to have them – or any other materials – signed with creators and voice actors alike. Among the many marketing schemes from the "House of Ideas," this may be the best one yet: getting our youth to read comics.
Even if the kiddies just flickered through a few pages afterward, or left them bent and corner-torn between their mommy's minivan seating, it's still an admirable thought from Marvel. And, thankfully the animated version itself was just as brilliant. "Ultimate Spider-Man" packed a ton of "LOL" moments, and the voice actors -- Drake Bell as Peter Parker, Chi McBride as Nick Fury, Steven Weber as Norman Osbourne, and, returning from his film version as Jonah Jameson in J.K. Simmons – were stellar across the board.
Longtime animated Spider-Man fans were also able to chime in during a special Q&A, as well; so, before I was able to share a few moments with "Spider-Man" writer and producer, Paul Dini ("Batman: The Animated Series," "Batman Beyond," Arkham Asylum video game), here's a rundown with today's all-star cast:
- A huge fan of the 60s cartoon asked whether that had an influence on "Ultimate Spider-Man," in which Marvel's Head of Television, Jeph Loeb (Batman: The Long Halloween, Spider-Man: Blue), replied that they would obviously try to shy away from a simple remake, particularly with today's new generation, but definitely keep the spirit of the older cartoons. Show producer Steven T. Seagle added that the "Ultimate" approach was, "What if Spider-Man was never written? [Originality] is what we're going for."
- With the Ultimate Spider-Man comic's changing of the guard from Peter Parker to new web-slinger, Miles Morales, it begged the question of whether we would see the new Spider-Man in the cartoon as well. To which became a running theme throughout the end of the Q&A, "Anything is up for grabs," show producer Seagle answered. It was noted that the cartoon was pitched before the sister comic's writer Brian Michael Bendis decided on the change. "But that's not to say it isn't a possibility. We're keeping things wide open."
- Questions about possible Spider-Woman or Spider-Girl appearances in the cartoon, as well as Iceman and Firestar inquires were dealt with similar responses. The cool thing is, though, after witnessing Avengers' Captain America and Iron Man as well as some of Marvel's more "obscure" villains (i.e. Wizard, Klaw) during the pilot, there's sure to be plenty of treats for many True Believers. Look for Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Nova in the coming episodes.
- Loeb and Seagle also let loose that there's also an animated Hulk in development. And he won't be alone: "Sort of Hulk's dysfunctional family. We'll be seeing Red Hulk, She-Hulk, Skaar…and A-Bomb" join in on the smashing.
- Dini's wife, actress Misty Lee, was enthusiastic about her portrayal as Parker's Aunt May. "She's going to be super young, super fun. If this Aunt May asks you to eat your wheat cakes, you'll want to eat them." Lee also referred to this version of May as a more zestful, friend-figure than that of other May depictions in the past. Parker and May "will be playing video games. She's very active with yoga… Yup. Her hip isn't broken."
- And what would a Marvel Q&A these days be without Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Phil Coulson!? Clark Gregg said – deadpanning, of course— that he only intended to portray Coulson throughout the line of Marvel films "to do animation." Gregg's looking forward to "a more complex and exciting form of [the agent.]" He'll also voice Parker's high school principal.
Stay tuned for Part 2, for an interview with Ultimate Spider-Man writer and producer Paul Dini!
Travis Walecka has gone through more phases than Paris Hilton has gone through tan lines; or apropos, more phases than variations of Batman titles. Hip-hop critic. MMA fighter. Furniture mover. Screenwriter. Hollywood bouncer. This guy puts Dean Malenko to shame, or perhaps, only Hayden Christensen. Nonetheless, this all-too-positive "Loose Cannon" (as monikered from various music and film review sites) newfound phase is simply, comics. And it's going on three years strong. After blowing the lot of his savings on graphic novels and stupid "collectible" figurines, Travis decided to leave it all alone in Boston and head to his next destiny: Hollywood, California.

Please call me Nhoe. Born in Vietnam, grew up in Vietnam and Germany. Perpetually torn between the ideas of keeping photography as a passion and turning pro, so in the meanwhile, just dawdling here in Berlin.
In photography, I search for sincerity, depth and raw emotions, not only beauty. And once these things meet, I simply shoot and snatch the moment for myself. Like a squirrel gathering nuts, I stash away these moments, just in case nostalgia kicks in.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. — One of the city's newest stores not only features bargains for those looking to remodel their home, it also supports new home ownership in the county.
Today, the Habitat for Humanity of Madison County, is celebrating a grand opening for its Re-Sale Store, 800 E. 19th St.
The store, which sells donated building supplies, lighting, tools and appliances, has been open since May with a limited inventory. Karl Graddy, executive director of the Habitat for Humanity of Madison County, says now that donations have increased they are ready to invite the public in for an official opening.
"It took awhile to get enough stuff," he said of their inventory. "We are not that big, but we did sell over $3,000 in the month of September."
Graddy said the items donated are tax deductible and all proceeds generated from the store go back into supporting the local organization.
"Sometimes people just want to change their style or move and they donate items," Graddy said. "We are selling at 15 to 20 percent of what you would pay for things if they were new."
Carl Caldwell, a volunteer with Habitat for Humanity of Madison County, said he volunteers 20 to 25 hours a week with the nonprofit Christian organization. The new store now consumes more than half of those volunteer hours.
"The more we get in and the more we sell allows us to build more frequently," said Caldwell. "It helps us, helps to get our name out and it's been a great thing to do.
"We are seeing an increased amount of traffic weekly," he said. "And at this point, it has all been word of mouth."
That's not to say Caldwell hasn't been creative in bringing new business into the store.
"We have been using Craigslist to help sell items," Caldwell said. "It's amazing the number of email responses I get about our hours or to describe the item. It's been very successful."
Lowe's has already donated three trailer loads of trim and flooring to the new store, but private donors have donated items like windows, doors, cabinetry, vanities, toilets and lighting, Graddy said.
The Re-Sale Store is located at Habitat's new 8,000-square-foot headquarters that were opened in May as part of the organization's 25th anniversary.
As for those looking to update their homes, Gaddy says they should stop in and take a look around.
"If you name it, we probably have it," he said.

Jets owner Woody Johnson spoke to the media on Thursday, addressing a number of topics.
This has been an offseason full of drama for the Jets following a disappointing 8-8 campaign. Players have complained about QB Mark Sanchez, WR Santonio Holmes and the overall lack of chemistry in the locker room.
"I dont think the whole locker room is toxic. I think there were clearly a few players who had conflicts," Johnson said. The owner did speak on MSNBC last week, but this was his first time talking to Jets beat writers about the team since the season ended.
With regards to Sanchez and Holmes, Johnson said, "They won a lot of games togethera nd one is good for the other. Santonio makes the quarterback a lot better and vice-versa. They have a good reason to iron this thing out and I think they can do it."
Johnson confirmed that Holmes will be with the team next season. "He may be one of the best players we've ever had here. ... He's extraordinarily talented," he said.
Johnson also showed his confidence in Sanchez. "Despite some of the reports, he's a very hard worker. He can do everything that you want a quarterback to do. When he has the confidence, which I think he'll have this year, ... he's had a lot of success in his life," the owner said.
When asked about possibly pursuing Peyton Manning, should he become available, Johnson said, "We're going to look at every possibility."

Please enter a valid mileage
Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Nissan Versa
By KBB.com Editors
Several automakers, including Nissan, foresee a comeback in entry-level compact carstriggered largely by rising fuel prices. "For the first time in many years," said a Nissan senior marketing manager, many shoppers are "giving serious consideration" to smaller automobiles. These marketing folks detect a "void" in the sub-$14,000 price range, noting that a new generation of young people, known as "echo boomers," will reach driving age soon. Nissan promises class-leading horsepower and torque for its new entrant, the Versa hatchback, along with generous interior space. Billed as a "no-compromises" value-priced offering that reaches beyond basic amenities, the Versa is surprisingly roomy inside. A sedan is due later.
Versa leads the small-car pack in spaciousness, which is worth considering if you carry passengers in the back seat. Standing tall in both dimensions and refinement, it may also tempt those who appreciate the smoothness of a CVT, which promises 36-miles per gallon highway mileage (according to EPA fuel-economy estimates).
Nissan's hatchback might not satisfy you if you need to fit three occupants into the rear, unless they're slima shortcoming common to entry-level compacts. If you like anti-lock braking but don't want to pay extra for it, it's an option on the Versa, not standard equipment.
Even more than the new Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit, Nissan's Versa is a small car with serious passenger space and an affordable price. Positioned above the Nissan Sentra, it's also among the first smaller cars to offer a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Driving Impressions Nissan's CVT is virtually flawless. Almost no engine noise is noticeable in ordinary driving and you hear only a tolerable light snarl during hard acceleration. Acceleration rivals conventional automatics, though...Versa falls somewhat short on upgradeslike most smaller cars. Reacting capably on curvy roads, it feels quite confident in the corners and exhibits good stability on expressways. Although the well-controlled ride is pleasant on good surfaces, on rougher roads the occupants may feel a lot of those surface imperfections, but few are particularly troubling. Deep-set gauges are easy enough to read.
Rear-Seat Space:
Not too many larger cars are as easy to get into and out of, and as spacious for knees and feet, as the Versa. Rear-seat riders can expect real comfort, without asking to push the front seats far forward.
Continuously Variable Transmission:
Nissan has been a leader in CVT installations, which substitute a belt and twin variable-diameter pulleys for the usual gears. That effort pays off in exceptionally smooth, linear and rewarding operationonce the driver gets accustomed to the fact that no gear changes will be taking place.
The Versa provides considerably more knee and foot space than many larger automobiles. Front and rear headroom are abundant, too. Close to "chair-height" seats assure impressive comfort, and double French seam stitching on the seats is but one indicator of careful attention to detail. The compact rear suspension results in a low, flat cargo floor, and front seats are nearly as large as a Maxima's. As in so many smaller cars, the center rear position is a hard perch.Exterior
Designers sought to avoid some customary small-car traits, including being boxy or blandand they've succeeded. Taller and more upright in stance than most smaller cars, the Versa is exceptionally easy to enter. You can see at a glance that the passenger compartment takes up much of the car's length, the back doors are particularly long and the windshield is about as far forward as possible. Five-door hatchbacks excel in versatility but, like minivans, aren't popular with everyone. Some shoppers might prefer to wait for the Versa sedan.
Every Versa is equipped with seat-mounted side-impact airbags and head curtain airbags, a tire-pressure monitor, electric power steering and an engine immobilizer. The basic S model includes 15-inch steel wheels with full covers, body-colored mirrors, a cargo cover, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, 120-watt CD stereo, air conditioning and tilt steering wheel. The SL version adds a 180-watt stereo with six-CD changer, 15-inch alloy wheels, driver's height adjustment, rear center armrest, remote keyless entry and power windows, locks and mirrors.
Anti-lock braking is optional for all models. Seven option groups are offered, including a Power Package for S models. An Audio Package for hatchbacks includes a Rockford Fosgate-powered subwoofer. SL models may have a Convenience Package that adds Intelligent Key entry, Bluetooth hand-free phone operation and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio switches. An SL Sport Package includes a rear roof spoiler, side sill spoilers, front and rear chin spoilers and fog lamps. XM or SIRIUS Satellite Radio may be installed in SL models and a sunroof is optional.
For the U.S. market, Nissan's 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine has been specially tuned for stronger low-end torque. Three transmissions are available: a six-speed manual, four-speed automatic (delayed introduction), and the Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). As production increases, the CVT is expected to oust the four-speed automatic as an alternative to a manual gearbox. In the SL trim level, a four-speed automatic will not be offered at all. The CVT incorporates a virtual Low range, for long, steep hills and heavier pulling.
1.8-liter in-line 4
122 horsepower @ 5200 rpm
127 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4800 rpm

"2010 Nissan Versa: bought this car to replace Grand Marquis that broke down with only 30K miles. I have 60K miles on this Nissan and have had '0' mechanical issues. I had a 1991 Nissan Versa and put 100K miles on it in 3-years w/out any issues. Nissan's have been reliable and great value for your money. Even for a small sedan this vehicle is a pleasure to drive and my kids (x4) love to ride in it. Nissan's even come with a spare tire which in this time of companies skimping back is a plus especially when you get a flat (which we did). There is allot of power with this car to the point that sometime there is more power in comparison to acceleration (then the transmission can handle). The body of the car is flimsy and susceptible to easily being damaged. The front and sides crumples easily in light impacts."

Biblical Languages
Master of Divinity (M.Div.) students are required to obtain competence in at least one biblical language for use as an exegetical tool in the study of the Bible. This requirement may be met by the course GBBL 500 (Elements of Greek Exegesis); by transcript evidence of one year of biblical Greek or Hebrew at the undergraduate level; or by GBBL 510, GBBL 520 or GBBL 530, GBBL 540.
It is strongly recommended, however, that students who anticipate further graduate study in theology complete a full-year course in biblical Greek and/or Hebrew. To obtain full benefit from courses in biblical studies, students should enroll in the biblical language course, as well as in GBBL 511 (Seminar in Biblical Interpretation), as early as possible in their academic program.
Advanced Standing
- M.Div. students may petition for up to 15 units of advanced standing from upper-division undergraduate work in religion.
- The number of core courses in any department that may be replaced by advanced standing is limited to two.
- MAPS students may petition for up to 10 units of advanced standing from upper-division undergraduate work in religion.
- MA(TS) students may petition for up to 10 units of advanced standing on the basis of undergraduate biblical language study or upper-division undergraduate coursework in religion.
- MAYM students may petition for up to eight units of advanced standing from undergraduate coursework in religion.
- Prior to formal admission, the Request for Advanced Standing Petition form should be completed.
- All advanced standing examinations are administered in a proctored setting.

Units transferred are limited to one half of an earned master's degree. A minimum of 30 units for the M.Div., 22 units for the MAPS and MA(TS), and 16 units for the MAYM must be completed at Azusa Pacific Seminary.
Additional Degree Requirements
Advancement to Candidacy
Before students are allowed to enroll in courses beyond a total of 20 units, they must be advanced to candidacy in the Master of Arts (Theological Studies) program.

For all the things that might reasonably freak out a basketball player in what's likely to be the most important game of his life, looking up into the stands and seeing 15,000 or so people wearing identical size XXL white T-shirts wouldn't seem to rank especially high. Players, even the San Antonio Spurs who've been there before, carry with them the expectations of millions of humans, the crushing confluence of their own lifetimes' aspiration and effort in one game, and the knowledge that this game's outcome will define their season, and to a certain extent their careers. Also they're exhausted. Also whenever they make a mistake, Gregg Popovich yells at them. Given all that, how terrifying is it, really, to be surrounded by Miami Heat fans modeling the indoor-sunglasses/oversized-white-T-shirt look? And how is an arena full of Heat fans dressed like they're participating in a DJ Khaled Lookalike Contest any different than any other Miami Heat game, really?
It depends on the T-shirt in question. Here is the one that the Heat are giving to fans attending Thursday's Game 7:
The shirt waiting on the seats for Heat fans before Game 7 of the #NBAFinals: pic.twitter.com/SRs5CBzNEo— The NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) June 20, 2013
"A Miami Heat Gem!" raves the Miami Herald. "A glowering version of A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders album cover, but with Juwan Howard in the Kool Moe Dee role!" raves ... well, anyway, that's what I think it looks like. The shirt is overstated, and a little presumptuous -- that is the Larry O'Brien Trophy on the lower right, not a member of the Heat's active roster -- but also nothing compared to the glowering CGI shirtlessness on display in the Heat's online roster page. But this shirt reveals multitudes upon further examination. So: let's take a closer look at this thing.
Here we see the challenges of making a T-shirt like this work. Dwyane Wade's naturally rectangular head fits perfectly into the format, but Joel Anthony -- besides looking like a headband-less LeBron James with Sonny Chiba's eyebrows -- has seen his cheekbones devoured by some dubious lighting/cropping. Whatever cropping work was done around Udonis Haslem's jawline left him with a frankly implausible chin-knob; he looks like an inverted Lego-head. Birdman, honestly, is just always going to present a pretty significant visual challenge. So consider some slack cut, there, and thanks for airbrushing his tie-dyed throat.
Again with the all-devouring glare/predatory Hanes Beefy-T fabric. Much of Jarvis Varnado's face is just missing from this picture of Jarvis Varnado's face, which is a bummer given how difficult it would be for Heat fans to recognize him even if his full face were depicted. Also notable is the squaring off of Chris Bosh's head, giving him a crisp low-top fade that would've been the envy of any member of the 1992-93 Charlotte Hornets. Perhaps most impressive is that, on a T-shirt full of people making their tuffest faces, Mike Miller's face is clearly broadcasting the message "I'm late for jury duty."
LeBron, again, holds up pretty well to the crop-job, as does Ray Allen. Mario Chalmers seems to have lost some of his right ear to THE LIGHT, but probably appreciates this, as it spares him having to listen to LeBron and Wade chastise him relentlessly for not looking intense enough. "RIO," Wade barks from the top row, "focus, and try to look meaner." Chalmers, happily, can't hear a word. Also ... actually, let's give Rashard Lewis his own paragraph.
The impulse to do something about Rashard Lewis' disconcertingly robust face merkin is reasonable enough. There are Major League relievers rocking Rick Rubin-ian bro-goatees with encrusted Arby's horsey sauce and bits of cake in them who think that Rashard Lewis' current chin-thing is excessive. They are correct in this. But of all the ways to manage it, there has to be a better way than gently rounding it off with an airbrush into a perfect semicircle.
This T-shirt is hungry, and Norris Cole's cheeks have paid the price. Juwan Howard seems angry about what's happened to his teammate's face, but James Jones -- played here by a lieutenant angrily demanding Michael Madsen's badge and gun in a Cinemax movie called either Erotic Fatality or Gun Cop -- is incensed. Whether with Madsen's loose-cannon approach to justice (to be fair: he's a good cop, but he was specifically instructed to do this one by the book) or his role in this T-shirt is tough to say. No great work of art, be it Gun Cop or this T-shirt, gives up its secrets easily.

Lake Erie College Alumna Gives Additional $100,000 Toward Humanities Legacy Endowed Scholarship
(PAINESVILLE, OHIO) – A Lake Erie College alumna, Deborah Goodrich Royce '80, has donated an additional $100,000 to The Humanities Legacy Endowed Scholarship Fund she established in 2005.
The Connecticut resident created the fund to provide scholarship support for students majoring in the humanities, an area close to her heart as she herself earned a bachelor of arts degree in modern foreign languages. The fund was also designed to honor faculty members. Last year, her donation honored long-time Lake Erie College Professor of English George Farrell (English) and Emeritus Professor of Italian Egidio Lunardi, Ph.D.. This year's gift of $100,000 is in honor of Professor of history Kim McQuaid, Ph.D. and Jake Rufli, Emeritus Professor of theatre arts.
"It's thrilling to see a graduate honor faculty members who have made an impact on her life," said President Michael Victor. "Deborah Goodrich Royce has achieved a successful career in the arts and is now providing students with opportunities to fulfill their dreams of pursuing a career based in the humanities," he added.
The Humanities Legacy Endowed Scholarship Fund offers a minimum of two scholarships per academic year and is available to current or incoming Lake Erie College students majoring in the area of social science, foreign language, English, psychology or fine and performing arts. Students must have a 3.5 grade point average to apply for the scholarships and must maintain a 3.0 grade point average to retain them.
Royce donated the money to the College as a challenge to other alumni to establish endowed scholarships in the name of faculty members who made a great impact on their lives. The fund allows donors of $25,000 or more to establish an additional number of scholarships to recognize a humanities faculty member of their choice.
Spending her career in the arts, first as an actress in film and television; then, as a story editor at Miramax Films, she also dedicates her talents to volunteer work. Royce serves on the board of directors of the Hunter Foundation and the Literacy Volunteers of Stamford/Greenwich, Conn., where she also teaches writing to adult English as a second language students. Royce and her husband, Charles, restored and reopened the Avon Theater Film Center, an independent cinema in Stamford.
Founded in 1856, Lake Erie College is a dynamic and progressive institution of higher education. The College offers 26 undergraduate majors and master's degrees in business administration and education. This coeducational college, grounded in the liberal arts, enrolls just over 1,000 students of all ages and is nationally recognized for its equine studies programs and international learning opportunities for students.

The Goodman® ASPF Multi-Position Air Handler is suitable for use with refrigerants R-410A and R-22. This unit's blower design includes an EEM (energy-saving), fixed-speed motor that can enhance the efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps.
The unit can operate with a heat pump or condenser of two different tonnages, as noted in the product description above. The unit comes equipped with an orifice (flowrater) for the larger listed tonnage. If you wish to pair the air hander with a condenser or heat pump of the smaller tonnage, an orifice in that tonnage will need to be used (unless a TXV is specified instead). If you are purchasing a new Goodman heat pump or condenser, the required orifice can be found on our site by clicking the Accessories tab on the product page for that item. However, if you are just purchasing this air handler and wish to pair it with equipment of the lower tonnage rating as listed on the description for this air handler, you will need to separately purchase the smaller orifice and install it in the air handler before operating. See this step-by-step guide to learn how to easily do so. Alternatively, instead of an orifice a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) may be used or required for some equipment, such as 14 SEER and higher heat pumps and all equipment that uses R-410A refrigerant (see equipment spec sheets for details or call us for assistance).

It's amazing how many product pitches I've received in the past few days. Even in phone calls. Do they not read my blog? Do they have no clue what's happened in my life in the past five days?
Apparently not.
I'm sad I'm not going to Syndicate. I'd like to ask Richard Edelman about why PR folks are sometimes so clueless.
Now, keep in mind, not all are.
Frank Shaw, Vice President of Waggener Edstrom, demonstrated his clued-in behavior by sending me a very nice note. Not that he needed to demonstrate that again. He's proven that he is clued in many, many times before. I guess that's how you get to be vice president at a major PR firm instead of just a lackey paid to smile-and-dial.
But, in today's world of search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Technorati, Feedster, and others, it just isn't good to be clued out.
I don't know what to do about it. Other than to turn down free stuff. And not write about such jerks' products or companies. It's amazing how much free stuff I've been offered since I told the world I'm not going to accept it anymore.
The good PR folks can call me anytime. After all, I wrote a book with one. Oh, wait, he doesn't like being called a PR guy. Says he's retired from that business. Oh, yeah, Shel, you're the best, and you just don't wanna be associated with the bad ones. Me neither.
Boy, has PR changed since we have the ability to share our lives in real time with the world? You bet it has.
You also now understand how Microsoft got such bad PR. We forgot that PR is done one relationship at a time. I wonder now how many press releases we sent to journalists who were sitting with mothers who were dying?
How is blogging changing PR? One mother at a time. Heh!

We have placed two other orders for our giant family vacations to Maine a few years back. They even made a donation last year to Team G-Willie last year. We've been really happy with how all of the shirts have come out Thanks!"

Anaheim city officials continue to stonewall reporters inquiring as to the nature of a vague item up for discussion at Tuesday's city council meeting that could allow the city to issue bonds to fund upgrades for the Honda Center needed to pave the way for a southerly relocation of the Sacramento Kings. Eric Carpenter of the Orange County Register reports that city officials refuse to acknowledge that the matter, which apparently won't be voted on until April 12, is even related to a potential Kings relocation.
Meanwhile, confused Anaheim residents wonder why the city would consider issuing bonds on behalf of billionaire Anaheim Ducks owner Henry Samueli given the city's annual $10 million budget deficit.
All told, the Kings' relocation could run into public roadblocks in Anaheim, just as the franchise's attempts to have an arena built in Sacramento ran into trouble every time a municipal body got involved. Much of that was due to some rather stubborn positioning by the owning Maloof family and the NBA, but it illustrates what hurdles public money presents.
The NBA's franchise owners are scheduled to discuss the Maloof family's options on April 14. The Maloofs must apply for relocation by April 18.

A case stemming from an altercation on a moving school boys between several young boys has been turned over to the Autauga County juvenile court.
The incident was investigated by the Autauga County Sheriff's Office after one of the boys was hospitalized.
It happened Friday, February 7, 2014, on a bus on its way to Pine Level Elementary.
According to authorities, words were exchanged between three boys on the bus and two of the boys got physical, "pushing and shoving" each other. The nine-year-old victim was reportedly hit in the stomach, officials said.
Once at school, the child told his teacher his stomach hurt and he was sent to the nurse, who then called an ambulance.
The student was taken to a Prattville hospital where doctors expressed concern about possible internal injuries and he was transferred to a Birmingham hospital and has since been released. On Friday, the victim's parents reported the incident to the Autauga County Sheriff's Office.
Autauga County Sheriff Herbie Johnson declined to comment on what the fight stemmed from.
He said a video camera was rolling on the bus at the time of the incident. The sheriff's office subpoenaed Autauga County school officials for the footage so they could review it.
Spence Agee, Autauga County school superintendent, said he reviewed the tape before he handed it over to authorities.
"I took a look at the tape and looked at the incident briefly and I noticed two males in a minor altercation on the bus and I handed the tape over to the sheriff's department," he said.
Rumors spread rapidly about the incident which Agee addressed.
Chief Deputy Joe Sedinger said Tuesday that the investigation by the Autauga County Sheriff's Office into the matter was complete and that two petitions had been signed for harassment against the 11-year-old boys who targeted the nine-year-old on the bus. All of the documentation and findings were turned over to the juvenile office. Sedinger said it will be up to a juvenile judge to determine whether any action is taken against the boys.
A copy of the findings will also be provided to the Autauga County Board of Education.
Agee said that the Autauga County school system would conduct its own internal investigation once they received the findings from the sheriff's office. He declined to release the video of the scuffle due to the fact that the case involves minors. He said the school system will wait until the case moves through the court system before deciding if any disciplinary action would be taken against the students.
