The Roman Catholic bishop of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape in Missouri has shared his "deep concern" over a church-affiliated hospital's decision to extend benefits to married gay couples. Bishop James V. Johnston also says that those who defend the traditional teaching of marriage are not "hateful bigots."
"I was not consulted or informed by Mercy Hospital Springfield of its decision to provide same-sex couples marriage benefits. I am deeply concerned. By this decision, Mercy Hospital Springfield calls into question its identity as a Catholic Christian institution," Johnston wrote in a statement to News-Leader.
In the same statement, he says that pastors and leaders who defend marriage as an institution between one man and one woman are sometimes called "hateful bigots" for their position by people who claim to support tolerance. more >>
Pope Francis said at the conclusion of his trip to the Philippines that he firmly stands behind the Roman Catholic Church's ban on contraceptives, but said that those who have too many children are failing to be responsible parents. The Vatican leader also spoke out against forcing the teaching of gender theory at school, comparing it to the way the Nazis indoctrinated children.
Francis backed Blessed Paul VI's stance against contraception on board the papal flight from Manila back to the Vatican, but said that "this does not mean a Christian must make children one after another," Catholic News Service reported.
The pontiff used as an example the case of a woman who became pregnant for an eighth time after having to undergo a cesarean section to give birth to her seven children. He said that such a scenario is "tempting God." more >>
As the first head of the Roman Catholic Church to be from Latin America and winner of Time Magazine's Person of the Year, Pope Francis is kind of a big deal.
And like any person who is a big deal, he has said a lot of things on a lot of topics. Problem is, there is also a lot of stuff attributed to him that, well, might not be accurate.
From judging to atheism, from animals to launching a Third Vatican Council, below in no particular order are a few of the statements that Francis either did not make or that have been taken out of context. more >>
A pregnant woman who was recently fired by a Virginia church's daycare center for not setting a date for her wedding to the father of her unborn baby says she might take legal action.
Apryl Kellam was fired from her position at the chid development center just days after she said she received a raise on Jan. 7.
James Coalson, Kellam's fiancé and the father of her soon-to-be born child, told The Christian Post that they've been mulling the idea of seeking legal counsel after Staples Mill Road Baptist Church's firing for her violation of the center's employee handbook. more >>
A Texas district court judge has rejected the Mayor of Houston's motion to forgo a jury trial in the "Houston pastors" lawsuit, which seeks to force the city to allow voters decide whether or not to overturn a transgender rights ordinance, which allows self-identified transgenders to use bathrooms designated for the opposite sex.
The lawsuit looks to require Houston Mayor Annise Parker and the city to act on a petition, started by conservative Houston-area pastors and activists, calling for a voter referendum to allow the people of Houston to decide whether the ordinance, which passed last May, should stay or go.
Although the city's secretary Anna Russell verified that the petition had exceeded the amount of signatures needed to force the referendum, Parker refused to put the initiative on the ballot during last November's election. more >>
A bill has been introduced in the Texas Legislature that if enacted would strip the salary of any Texas-government employee who issues a marriage license to a same-sex couple.
Known as House Bill 623, the recently introduced bill declares that no state funds will go to the distribution of gay marriage licenses.
"State or local taxpayer funds or governmental salaries may not be used for an activity that includes the licensing or support of same-sex marriage," reads HB 623. more >>

Demon Dash is the good kind of 4 player mayhem
The iPad has had its share of party games on it, and we here at Appspy are constantly surprised by the ingenuity and amusement that many of these games bring to the table. Demon Dash continues that trend as a four player racing game. You hold down your demon button to charge, and release to speed off, but the catch is that your directional arrow is constantly spinning, so if you don't time it right, you may end up any which way. Alongside normal race modes, the trailer shows off variations of Breakout, Pinball, and other party games. Take a look for yourselves... Demon Dash launches on Wednesday the 27th. It's only a couple of days away, so if you like what you see, start revving those de…
Baby Lava Bounce Review
As gamers, we have certain expectations about he ways our virtual worlds behave. For instance, anyone who's played a platformer - especially one starring a plumber or hedgehog - will know that lava is bad. Baby Lava Bounce has come to change our conceptions. Instead of dealing firey death to all in its path, perhaps lava just wants to be loved. Problem is, rather than red hot hugs and kisses, these lava blocks can only express their affection through wanton destruction. Each lava has…
Watch The Video ReviewEPOCH.2 Review
Epoch. was Uppercut Games' answer to the question "how do you get a third-person cover shooter to work on a touchscreen?" The solution the team hit upon was to ditch floating joysticks altogether, and use an entirely gesture-based system to let you spring in and out of cover, target enemies, and launch special attacks. The sequel, Epoch.2, is very much a retread of the first game. It's got a bigger campaign, more weapon and upgrade options, and some new robotic enemies and bosses to t…
Watch The Video ReviewNo objections: buy entire Phoenix Wright Trilogy for £2.99 / $4.99
Capcom has temporarily lowered the price of the Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright Trilogy HD as part of its Thanksgiving sale. Though the app itself has always been free to download, it only gave you access to the first chapter of the first Phoenix Wright game . To unlock all three games (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, and Phoenix Wright - Trials and Tribulations) you needed to pay around £14 / $17. However, if you want to go toe-to-toe with crime in a highly stylised courtroom while wolfing down your Thanksgiving turkey, you'll now be able to play through the entire trilogy for only £2.99 / $4.99. Though we were slightly taken aback by the re-…
You heard it here first folks - Cuebox is 3 dimensional Pool
And we don't mean that the pool table is lovingly rendered in 3D, we mean that the entire game of Cuebox is played in three dimensions. Take a look at the trailer, and you'll see what we mean. I dunno, I have enough trouble with the geometry and force needed to sink the balls on a flat surface. Adding another dimension to it leaves me intimidated. For those willing to rise to the challenge however, Cuebox will be available on November 29th for the price of $3.99.…
For those wanting some target practice on the go, check out Firing Range
In an article I wrote last month, I likened a lot of the shooting we do in videogames akin to target practice. How fortuitous then that Firing Range appears in my inbox, an iOS adaptation of the Xbox 360 game of the same name. If you want to test your aiming abilities with a selection of firearms over ranges of increasing difficulty, this looks like a good way to go about doing so. Have a look at the trailer to see it in action. It looks like moving your gun around is done via touch, but we hope there might be a tilt option as well. For those interested, the game is available now for $0.99. [App Store Link]…
Galaxy on Fire: Alliances | Hands-On
Galaxy on Fire: Alliances may not be the sequel you were expecting. In fact, it's not really sequel at all. Rather than creating another instalment of third-person ship-to-ship combat, developer Fishlabs has decided to take the series in another, more strategic direction. The result is a free-to-play game based around resource management and social co-operation, where you must unite with other players from around the world to form international armadas capable of bringing the universe to its knees. The open beta for Galaxy on Fire: Alliances went live in 14 countries today, including New Zealand and Canada. I went hands-on with the game earlier today. Here is the result: Incidentally,…
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Panem Run | Hands-On
You all knew it was coming. Where a blockbuster movie franchise passes, an endless-runner tie-in is sure to follow. Following in the well-worn footsteps of Brave, Oz: The Great and Powerful, and Despicable Me 2, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire now has its own Temple Run-inspired mobile game. Below you will find a short video showing the game in action. In truth, you could probably close your eyes and imaging playing Temple Run while being chased by bees and it would do the same job. Still, I am duty-bound to supply you with footage of new games, and supply I have. Now you have to do your part. It'll only take five minutes, and then we can all forget this ever happened.…
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse magically appears on the App Store
Disney Interactive has just released its re-imagining of '90s Sega classic Castle of Illusions for iOS devices. Rather than simply tart up the original Mega Drive for the App Store, Disney has decided to port this year's PSN and XBLA release Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse onto iPhone and iPad instead. Though it shares the 2D original's castle setting and rodent lead, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse is a 3D platformer which constantly shifts perspective. Sometimes you'll be guiding the mousekateer from right to left in traditional platforming fashion. Now and then, however, the camera will shift to an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective or fixed angle. The cons…
Invade the Atlas Mountains against the clock in Call of Duty: Strike Team update
Activision's hybrid shooter Call of Duty: Strike Team now features even more ways to kill a dude from another country, thanks to the game's latest update. If wading through enemy territory with only a side arm and a flak jacket between you and a permanent dirt nap isn't exciting enough for you, then you might enjoy Strike Team's newly-added Beat the Clock mode. This mode has you blasting baddies against the clock, with every fallen hostile adding valuable seconds to your timer. Players who have reached XP level 16 will also find an extra map available to them. Set in the Altas Mountains, this combat zone can be explored in Time Attack and Survival modes. What's more, the dev team has i…
Jetpack Joyride developer lets you play with its huge snake in Colossatron: Massive World Threat
Jetpack Joyride developer Halfbrick Studios has taken to YouTube to warn us of an incoming threat to our national security. According the video (below) a giant mechanical snake called Colossatron is tearing up capital cities, laying siege to skyscrapers and soldiers alike with a terrifying arsenal of space-age weaponry. Luckily for us, this massive metal serpent is merely a character in Halfbrick's lastest iOS project Colossatron: Massive World Threat. You will take control of the titular snake, and have to conquer earth's military defences while increasing your own firepower. To boost your weapons' capabilities, you need to reconfigure the snake's modular 'powercores', aligning d…
Tricky sequel Touchgrind Skate 2 rolls onto the App Store after midnight
I don't know about you, but I like my modes of transportation to have an engine and some nice, comfy seats. However, if you're one of those 'active' types who enjoys belting around concrete parks on a piece of wood nailed to a set of shopping trolley wheels, then you might want to check out Touchgrind Skate 2 when it appears on the App Store later tonight. The sequel to the popular Touchgrind Skate expands on the original game by offering a choice of skateparks in which to practise your stunts. As before, you pop these tricks by placing two fingers on the deck and using a combination of well-timed taps and flicks. There's also the option to record your best moves and share them onl…
Deemo Review
It's been a while since gamers fell out of love with rhythm games. This was mostly due to the over-saturation of rock music sims driven by plastic guitars, but also because of lack of creativity in the games themselves. Deemo does its best to address these issues by not only providing feedback as you tap and slide, but also presenting a fantasy through the melding of music and haunting artwork. The story, such as it is, tells the melancholic tale of a lonely creature who finds the co…
Watch The Video ReviewJoe Dever's Lone Wolf Review
Gamebooks may be a niche market, but it is amazing how many people have fond memories of them. Relying on people's nostalgia for the '80s has worked for many gamebook publishers, and now Joe Dever, author of the infamous Lone Wolf series has thrown his hat into the fray with a new four part saga. With the release of Steve Jackson's excellent Sorcery! earlier this year, however, Lone Wolf has its work cut out for it. It's an interesting take on the genre, but one which creates as many p…
Watch The Video ReviewFriendstrap - a game of comfort and endurance
How well do you know your friends? Have you ever wanted to have an interesting conversation with a complete stranger? That's where Friendstrap comes in. The concept is simple. Each of the two people participating hold their finger on the screen. The first one to lift their finger off loses. The game suggests topics of conversation that range from the mundane and bizarre, to deeply personal, and things you might not want anybody to know. The 12 minute demo video will explain it all better than I could (if you have the endurance to watch it). A game of chicken lies at the center of this app, but even for a completely open and honest person (or someone playing the game with their partne…

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

SpeechRecognizer.AudioSignalProblemOccurred Event
.NET Framework 4.5
Occurs when the recognizer encounters a problem in the audio signal.
Namespace: System.Speech.Recognition
Assembly: System.Speech (in System.Speech.dll)
To get which problem occurred, use the AudioSignalProblem property of the associated AudioSignalProblemOccurredEventArgs.
When you create a delegate for an AudioSignalProblemOccurred event, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event-handler delegates, see Events and Delegates.
The following example defines an event handler that gathers information about an AudioSignalProblemOccurred event.
private SpeechRecognizer recognizer; // Initialize the speech recognition engine. private void Initialize() { recognizer = new SpeechRecognizer(); // Add a handler for the AudioSignalProblemOccurred event. recognizer.AudioSignalProblemOccurred += new EventHandler<AudioSignalProblemOccurredEventArgs>( recognizer_AudioSignalProblemOccurred); } // Gather information when the AudioSignalProblemOccurred event is raised. void recognizer_AudioSignalProblemOccurred(object sender, AudioSignalProblemOccurredEventArgs e) { StringBuilder details = new StringBuilder(); details.AppendLine("Audio signal problem information:"); details.AppendFormat( " Audio level: {0}" + Environment.NewLine + " Audio position: {1}" + Environment.NewLine + " Audio signal problem: {2}" + Environment.NewLine + " Recognition engine audio position: {3}" + Environment.NewLine, e.AudioLevel, e.AudioPosition, e.AudioSignalProblem, e.recoEngineAudioPosition); // Insert additional event handler code here. }

"Unsweetend Muriels"
I m 90% sure that these are simply unsweet versions of Muriels. Everything is the same except for the sweetness. I got these because they were a couple bucks cheaper but I now know why. They re not too bad if you like a cheap unsweet Cigar but if you want sweet, go with Muriels.

"Great short smoke for the money"
I was looking for an inexpensive short smoke for my drive to work (which is about a half hour) to replace White Owl Miniature and this does it. In fact they are a much better cigar.Mild, consistent, great burn and above all good taste.Inexpensive-you wont feel too bad if you have to ditch them prematurely

Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford
The Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford, was founded in 2001. Previously it was a sub-faculty of the Faculty of Literae Humaniores (which had been founded in 1913).[1] Despite this, the teaching of philosophy at Oxford dates back to mediaeval times, while the faculty can boast 150 full-time philosophers, building on the established tradition of Oxford philosophy. It is part of Oxford's Humanities Division. It is currently ranked 2nd in the world by the Philosophy Gourmet report.[2] It is ranked first in the UK by the Complete University Guide,[3] Guardian,[4] Times [5] and Independent.[6]
Some of the world's greatest philosophers have studied or taught at Oxford, including William of Ockham, John Locke, Jeremy Bentham and Thomas Hobbes, and in more recent times Amartya Sen, Peter Strawson, Alfred Ayer, Gilbert Ryle, Isaiah Berlin, Bernard Williams, Thomas Nagel and Elizabeth Anscombe.
Other philosophers (e.g. Thomas Nagel and Noam Chomsky have been brought to Oxford to lecture at its named lectures, such as the John Locke Lectures and the Gareth Evans Memorial Lectures.
Oxford has these chairs in philosophy:
- White's Professor of Moral Philosophy (founded in 1621)[7]
- The Waynflete Professorship of Metaphysical Philosophy (founded in 1859)
- The Wykeham Professor of Logic (founded in 1859)
- The Nolloth Professor of the Philosophy of the Christian Religion (founded in 1920).
- The Wilde Professor of Mental Philosophy (founded in 2000).
- Professorship in Ancient Philosophy

Details Released on Investigations Into Two Former Sheriff's Department Employees
Marion County Sheriff Jerry DeVore has released Freedom of Information requests on internal investigations of alleged sexual harrassment at the department that ended with the employees under investigation leaving their jobs.Sheriff's Department Sergeant Forest Elkins retired the same day DeVore served him a letter that he was suspended with pay pending an investigation into allegations that he had sexually harassed two female employees of the department. The letter informed Elkins he had the right to have a labor council representative present with him for the pre-disciplinary meeting and that he would be called at a later date for an investigatory interview by one of the department's detectives. Later in the day on September 25th, Elkins presented a one sentence letter to the sheriff that said 'Please be advised that effective this date I am retiring.'
The internal investigation report released as part of the Freedom of Information Act included interviews detailing specific incidents where Elkins had allegedly made verbal comments that made the female employees uncomfortable. In one case, the employee confirmed she tried to avoid shifts when Elkins would also be working.
The other internal investigation involved former Jail Administrator Jeff White, who resigned. A female employee said White had agreed to provide her with a part-time job and allow her to live in his rental home in return for a relationship after the two met on a dating website. She claimed in her interview that she never wanted the relationship to be sexual, which White allegedly later pushed.
State's Attorney Matt Wilzbach had initially requested the investigation of White for any criminal wrong-doing. However, Wilzbach says after reviewing the report, he decided NOT to file any criminal charges in the case.
DeVore says he immediately ordered investigations into the allegations and then took action when they were completed.

After winning the Tournament of Champions on "Jeopardy!," West Allis resident Michael Falk took the other contestants, and their guests, out for dinner.
"When the cameras weren't filming, we joked that the winner had to buy dinner," Falk said. "So I bought dinner for everyone."
Falk had just won more than $300,000 on the trivia game show, and, although he didn't have the money in hand, he was still true to his word.
Falk took the contestants, and their guests, to a restaurant in Los Angeles, where the NBC studio is located. It cost Falk more than $700.
"That was one of the most impulsive, exciting things I've ever done. We had an absolute blast," he said.
Finding a calling
Falk was a meteorologist and newlywed when he qualified for "Jeopardy!" in 2006.
"I've been interested in trivia and game shows my entire life," said Falk, who is now a junior high math teacher at St. Mary's Visitation School.
"I was very nervous, almost quaking," Falk said, describing his first time on the show. "It was very exciting and stressful, but very fun as well. Alex (Trebek) and the show's producers make it feel like you're a superstar; they want to make the experience such a positive thing."
Falk won that first "Jeopardy!" competition. And the next one. And the one after that.
After a three-day stint on the show, Falk had won $60,000; but his winnings didn't stop there. He was invited back onto the show later in 2006 to compete in a two-week Tournament of Champions, where he won an additional $250,000.
In total, Falk competed in eight games.
"Part of what I did with my winnings was to go back to school to be a teacher," Falk said. He had been considering making the career change earlier, but "my winnings helped make that possible."
"I also bought a new house outright and can go through life without having to pay a mortgage," he added.
Welcome back
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, "Jeopardy!" will begin filming "The Battle of the Decades" in late January. The tournament will welcome back 15 contestants from each decade of the show's history —the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Winners from each decade competition will ultimately face each other for the grand prize: $1 million.
"It really is an impressive roster of competitors," said Falk, who was chosen as one of the 45 contestants to come back to the show. "They're pretty much who ever made a splash on 'Jeopardy!'"
He flies to Los Angeles on Monday, and there is a school full of fans happy to see him go.
"They've been really excited about it from the start," Falk said.
He said he hopes his experience with the game show will reinforce the school's attitude that learning can be fun and that "it's worthwhile to know things."
Trivia in school
To get students excited about learning, Falk and his colleague, middle school social studies teacher Burke Seeberg, began the academic Quiz Bowl in 2010.
The Quiz Bowl, modeled after the "Jeopardy!" game show, uses categories to test students' knowledge of different topics.
The school's team of about 30 students has qualified for national championships.
"The culture here (at the school) is that trivia and knowledge is cool," Falk said. "They're eating it all up."
Principle Mary Tretow credits students' love of learning to Falk's teaching style.
"Michael is one of the most gifted teachers I've ever worked with in my career," Tretow said. "He appropriates that love of learning in all of his classes ... and to be able to bring that TV-ism to the school is just wonderful. I think we have future 'Jeopardy!' contestants in our midst thanks to him."
The episodes will not air until later this year, so Falk will be obligated to keep the results secret.
If he does happen to win the $1 million, Falk said, he plans to keep his purchases modest.
"I'd like to go on vacation somewhere I can scuba dive, and maybe buy a fast sports car — that'd be my splurge purchase — but I'd also like to save for my son's education," Falk said.

How to Choose a Textbook, or, Why I Wrote My Own
Monday, January 12 from 4:30-6:00 PM in Swift 200
Led by Dale Walker (PhD, 1998), Director of Development and Alumni Relations at the Divinity School and author of a recent book for use in introductory courses on the New Testament (Beyond the Obvious: Doorways to Understanding the New Testament [Anselm Academic, 2014]). Dr. Walker's "textbook" takes a different approach from most others, seeking to be briefer, topical, and synthetic, as opposed to exhaustive, book-by-book, and atomizing. Its aim is to orient readers to biblical criticism rather than walk them through every issue, and it prioritizes the preparation of students for productive discussion in class. This approach incorporates recent research on student learning and on making knowledge sticky. In preparation, participants are asked to read in advance the packet of materials available here.
Dr. Walker completed his dissertation on 2 Corinthians 10—13 under the direction of Prof. Hans Dieter Betz. He has served as an adjunct faculty member at a number of institutions throughout Chicago and at the University of Wyoming. Co-sponsored by the Early Christian Studies Workshop.
Student Mental Health and Today's College Teaching
Thursday, Jan 15 from 12:00-1:30 PM in Swift 201
At the typical American college or university, the rate of students visiting campus counseling services for serious mental health issues has doubled in the last decade. What's behind this alarming trend? What are mental health practitioners observing, and what advice do they have for new college teachers? Join Dr. Michael Pietrus, psychologist at the University of Chicago's Student Counseling Service and its Divinity School liaison, for a discussion on the state of mental health on today's college campuses and its practical implications for classroom instruction and course design. Coffee and tea will be provided. Please feel free to bring a lunch. A packet of advance reading is available here.
Designing Assessments That Cultivate Rigorous Creativity (Arts of Teaching Series)
Wednesday, January 28 from 4:30-6:00 PM in Swift 201
In this Arts of Teaching sequel to "Cultivating Rigorous Creativity" (Fall 2014), participants will design and workshop a sample assessment that cultivates creative as well as critical thinking. (Participants who did not attend Mr. Maxwell's fall workshop should view it in our multimedia library in advance.) In preparation for this workshop, all participants will read and annotate a text of their own choosing and then design a prompt, model, and rubric for an assignment on the chosen text. During the workshop, participants will examine the assignments to determine their effectiveness. Each participant will leave the workshop with a polished assessment that demands rigorous creative thinking. A reading packet, including a full description with samples of the required assignment (to be completed in advance of the workshop), is available here.
Led by Mark Maxwell, English and Fine Arts, Rolling Meadows High School. Mr. Maxwell is the author of the novel Nixoncarver (St. Martin's Press) and several short stories, and many of his students have gone on to publish their own creative writing.
Curricula and Criticism in Religious Studies: Notes from the Institutional Field
Friday, February 6, from 10:30 AM-12:30 PM in Swift 208
Led by Professor Brian Britt (MA 1987, PhD, Religion and Literature, 1992), Chair of the Department of Religion and Culture at Virginia Tech. Professor Britt will discuss some key elements of Religious Studies curricula and departments, with a focus on the challenging transition from graduate student teacher to faculty member. The workshop is intended to help participants understand and articulate how their teaching fits into wider departmental and institutional contours, and to develop language and tools for negotiating disciplinary (and interdisciplinary) expectations in the field of Religious Studies. Co-sponsored with the Religion and Literature Club.
Pre-Workshop Exercise: Participants are asked to choose a department at an institution they imagine themselves wanting to join and read what's on the web about mission statement, curriculum, and larger institutional context. On the basis of this research, they should then "write themselves into" the department with a three-year teaching schedule and sketch of committee/service assignments. They should choose an institition they don't know first hand. In the session we'll discuss this exercise with an emphasis on the perspective of the candidate and newly-hired colleague.
Dean's Winter Craft of Teaching Seminar with Chancellor Rebecca Chopp
Thursday, February 12 from 12:00-2:00 PM in the Swift Common Room
Led by Rebecca Chopp (PhD, Theology, 1983), Chancellor of the University of Denver and former President and Professor of Religion at Swarthmore College and Colgate University. In this unique Dean's Seminar, Chancellor Chopp will draw upon her extensive experience in higher education leadership to discuss her approach to the classroom and university administration. She will address the future of higher education and liberal education in particular, as well as the rewards and challenges of administrative leadership today.
In addition to her service as chancellor and president, Chancellor Chopp has served as Dean of the Yale Divinity School and Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs at Emory University. She is the author or editor of numerous books, including Remaking College: Innovation and the Liberal Arts (Johns Hopkins, 2013), Differing Horizons: Feminist Theory and Theology (Fortress, 1997), and Saving Work: Feminist Practices of Theological Education (Westminster, 1995). She has held several national leadership positions, including as a member of the governing board of the Association of American Colleges and Universities and as president of the American Academy of Religion.
A packet of advance reading is available here in two parts: Part 1 and Part 2.
The quarterly Dean's Craft of Teaching Seminar is the flagship seminar of the Craft of Teaching program, centered on issues of course design and institutional context. Complementary lunch is provided at all Dean's Seminars for the first 25 RSVPs. Please RSVP at any time to , indicating meat, vegetarian, or vegan preferences.
Teaching the Undergraduate Research Paper (Arts of Teaching Series)
Monday, February 16 from 12:00-1:30 PM in Swift 201
Teaching the research paper begins with understanding the tacit skills and knowledge needed for novice learners to move from passive reading to active engagement with sources. The difficulty for the instructor rests in being able to identify and then teach these to students of varying interests and abilities. Anne Knafl (PhD, Bible, 2011), Bibliographer for Religion and Philosophy, and David Frankel, PhD student in History of Judaism and Library Intern, will discuss strategies for teaching the research paper, drawing on their experience collecting, evaluating and teaching scholarly materials at the Regenstein Library. This workshop will address not only the how but the why of assigning research: Why should students write research papers? Do they know? Do you know?
In preparation for the workshop, all participants should complete the assignment available here. The workshop handout is available in advance here. Please feel free to bring your own lunch.
Divinity School Syllabus Workshop (Arts of Teaching Series)
Friday, February 27 from 11:30 AM-2:30 PM in Swift 208
Led by Lucy Pick, Director of Undergraduate Studies and Senior Lecturer in the History of Christianity. This annual three-hour workshop centers on course and syllabus design. Participants draft course titles and descriptions that are peer-reviewed during the workshop. Participation is limited and advanced registration is required. In the first hour, participants will discuss the principles of good course design including how to title a course and write a course description, how to structure a course for college students, what kinds and how many readings and assignments to include, among other topics. The remaining time will be used to discuss the course titles and descriptions submitted by participants, considering how to make them stronger, and how they might be fleshed out into a full syllabus. Lunch will be provided. In order to register, you must email Prof. Pick ( ) by Friday, February 20 at noon with your name, the title of a college-level course you might like to teach some day (or have taught) and a brief, one paragraph description of the course. You can also include a short list of readings you might use in the course. It should be no longer than a single page.
Liminal Pedagogy: The Humanities and the Transformative Ritual of the Intro Course
Thursday, March 5 from 4:00 – 5:30 PM in Swift 208
Led by Jeffrey Kripal (PhD, History of Religions, 1993), J. Newton Rayzor Professor of Philosophy and Religious Thought and former chair of the Department of Religious Studies at Rice University. Prof. Kripal will discuss his two-decade experiment in adopting the structure of van Gennep and Turner's model of initiation as an apt and powerful tool for teaching the introduction to the study of religion course at two separate institutions: a small, relatively homogenous liberal arts college and a robustly multicultural research university. Prof. Kripal has recently used the same model to write a next-generation textbook on the comparative study of religion (Comparing Religions [Wiley-Blackwell, 2013]). Prof. Kripal will also discuss that collaborative process, some of the challenges his co-authors and he faced, and his experiences visiting colleges and universities that have adopted it.
The Table of Contents and a Note to the Instructor from Prof. Kripal's textbook are available here, and a recent syllabus using the textbook is here. Excerpts from the book's chapters are also available by request; please email

Share this news story Native Instruments will release their first fully fledged club mixer/controller in November. Traktor Kontrol Z2, "the world's first 2+2 DJ control mixer," has been announced. 2+2? That's how Native Instruments are describing the number of channels on the Z2, which takes in two standard channels and two "remix channels" for re-edits and the like. Above the two main channels are three-band EQs and a filter, while new Traktor software features Macro FX and Flux Mode are given dedicated controls at the Z2's edges. The body of the Z2 is said to be built from "aircraft-grade" aluminium and houses a 24-bit soundcard. Existing Traktor controllers such as the F1 or X1 can be connected to the new unit via USB, as seen in the introductory video below. It's also worth noting that the package comes bundled with Traktor Scratch Pro 2. Native Instruments will release the Z2 on November 1st, 2012 at a suggested retail price of 799 Euro.

Re: transport from albert airport
Took some finding but here is the airport website:
There's a car hire place listed, although I suspect you will need a taxi to get there unless Jet2 has organised an onward bus transfer. No other airlines use the airport as yet (ad it is closed at weekends) so there would be no real need for public transport.Be the first to rate this answer!
