Juvenile Justice
Program aims to move offenders into workforce
The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice is partnering with two new job training programs designed to expedite the assimilation of former young offenders back into their communities and to prepare them for re-entry to the workforce after being charged with a juvenile offense.
"For efforts to stop recidivism to have any chance of working at all, the education process for youth in our care cannot end at the gates of our detention facilities," said Commissioner Avery Niles. "Community Outreach programs like these are essential to continue ongoing activities and training."
"That's why the Education Division at DJJ is excited to be working hand in hand with outside organizations that can assist with this next step in youth development," said DJJ Associate School Superintendent Dr. Audrey Armistad. The next steps in Community Outreach for DJJ are new programs like "RESPECT" and "Transition to Success."
"Transition to Success" is a collaborative transition program between the Adult Education Program of the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice school system and Georgia Mountains Regional Workforce Development.
"The goal of the 'Transition to Success' program is to provide GED preparation and testing opportunities," said Armistad. "This innovative program includes technical college enrollment and tuition, job training, and employment for youth involved with the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice, whether they are incarcerated or on probation."
In order to meet the needs of Georgia's young offenders, the "Transition to Success" program is based inside the Gainesville Regional Youth Detention Center (RYDC). Students who transition from the Gainesville RYDC back into the community can continue to receive services provided by the Georgia Mountains Workforce Development, as long as they are involved with DJJ.
Eligible students will be enrolled in GED preparation courses taught by Lanier Technical college instructors. There they can receive additional job training, and employment or technical college enrollment after release.
The "RESPECT" program works with the Governor's Office of Workforce Development and takes a different approach to preparing young offenders for transition back to their home communities. "RESPECT" stands for Re-Entry Skills Preparation & Education Career Training.
"This is soft skills training," said Armistad. "Our students enrolled in this transition program are taught network building, proper attitude and behavior for the workplace, how to write resumes and how to prepare for interviews."
DJJ students at the Eastman Youth Development Campus (YDC) can enroll in the Graduate Education Program there and sign up for the "RESPECT" program. Students who transition from Eastman YDC back to their community can continue to receive services provided by the Governor's Office of Workforce Development through twenty local Workforce Investment areas in Georgia.
"Young people convicted of juvenile offenses often encounter many challenges when entering the workforce for their first time," said Niles. "These difficulties can magnify the risk of a juvenile re-offending once released. It can even lead to later adult criminal activity. But the "RESPECT" program helps Georgia's young people break the recidivism cycle by leaving their former juvenile offender behaviors behind to focus on more positive futures," the Commissioner said.
Chartered as Georgia's 181st school district and accredited by both the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Correctional Educational Association (CEA), the DJJ School System was recently renamed as the Georgia Preparatory Academy. The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice operates one of the largest school systems in the state.

Amid a state budget standoff, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has ordered that some 200,000 state workers receive only the federal minimum wage. That's a $1.45-per-hour cut from California's minimum wage. But the man who issues the checks, the state controller, says he will refuse to follow the order and, if necessary, will borrow funds to maintain present pay rates.
AP via Google:
"Today I am exercising my executive authority to avoid a full-blown crisis and keep our state moving forward," Schwarzenegger said. "This is not an action I take lightly."
The moves could save hundreds of millions of dollars a month, but whether full-time employees' paychecks will be cut is in doubt because the state controller, who cuts the checks, has said he will not comply with it.
Lawmakers have yet to agree on a spending plan a month after the state's fiscal year began, leaving California without the ability to pay for contractors, the higher education system and legislative employees.

The City of Borger has officially taken action to participate in the issuing of revenue bonds by the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority.
Action was taken by the Borger City Council earlier this month to authorize participation in the CRMWA's Subordinate Lien Revenue Bonds, Series 2011, and approve an amendment to the City of Borger's conjunctive use groundwater supply agreement with CRMWA.
Local fire crews responded to a grass fire near Skellytown Wednesday afternoon.
Crews began fighting the fire around noon. The fire was about six miles east from Carson County on Highway 152, approaching the Hutchinson County lines.
It caused the closure of the highway, sending traffic through Panhandle. The call was reported at 11:10 a.m. and was put out at 2 p.m.
Skellytown and Panhandle Fire Departments first responded to the scene and eventually asked for mutual aid, bringing in Hoover, White Deer, Borger, Stinnett, and Hutchinson County.

Desiring God 25th Anniversary Reference Edition
For a quarter century, Desiring God has powerfully delivered the message that the over-arching purpose of human life is to "glorify God by enjoying Him forever." Now considered a modern classic, the book's impact is profound and timeless.
"I do not come to the Bible with a hedonistic theory of moral justification. On the contrary, I find in the Bible a divine command to be a pleasure-seeker—that is, to forsake the two-bit, low-yield, short-term, never-satisfying, person-destroying, God-belittling pleasures of the world and to sell everything 'with joy' (Matthew 13:44) in order to have the kingdom of heaven and thus 'enter into the joy of your master' (Matthew 25:21). In short, I am a Christian Hedonist not for any philosophical or theoretical reason, but because God commands it (though He doesn't command that you use these labels!)….
Only one thing ultimately matters: glorifying God the way He has appointed. That is why I am a Christian Hedonist. That is why I wrote this book."

Defending British Universities
A host of Britain's most esteemed thinkers have joined a campaign that calls for university autonomy, research free from short-term economic concerns and higher education that allows graduates to lead richer and more rewarding lives.
David Attenborough, Richard Dawkins and Andrew Motion are among the founding members of the Council for the Defense of British Universities (CDBU). It will be officially launched on November 13 and will initially focus on building its membership and developing its public agenda.
The council's initial 65-strong membership includes 16 peers from the House of Lords plus a number of prominent figures from outside the academy, including the broadcaster Lord Bragg of Wigton and Alan Bennett. Its manifesto calls for universities to be free to pursue research "without regard to its immediate economic benefit" and stresses "the principle of institutional autonomy."
It adds that the "function of managerial and administrative staff is to facilitate teaching and research."
Sir Keith Thomas, historian, former president of the British Academy and a member of the council, writes in this week's Times Higher Education that the level of "audit and accountability" demanded of universities by the government is "excessive, inefficient and hugely wasteful."
In addition, "the very purpose of the university is grossly distorted by the attempt to create a market in higher education."
He calls for Britain's higher education funding councils to be scrapped and replaced by bodies truly independent of government. Thomas, a distinguished fellow of All Souls College of Oxford University, was primarily responsible for drawing up the manifesto and instigating the council following a conference in London titled "Universities Under Attack," held in November 2011.
Howard Hotson, professor of early modern intellectual history at the University of Oxford, has also been involved with the CDBU since its inception.
He stressed that the launch was designed to build membership rather than put forward fully formed proposals, with a manifesto designed to appeal to a "broad church" that would have to do "a lot of thinking" before it put its full case to the public and the state.
Membership is open to anyone, not just academics, and contributions to the organization will be voluntary, he said.

After taking a job at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine later that year, he mapped the brains of undergraduates who had been instructed to lie about whether a playing card displayed on a computer screen was the same one they'd been given in an envelope along with $20. The volunteers - who responded by pressing a button on a handheld device so they wouldn't have to speak - were told that if they "fooled" the computer, they could keep the money. Langleben concluded in 2002 in a journal called NeuroImage that there is "a neurophysiological difference between deception and truth" that can be detected with fMRI.
As it turned out, other researchers in labs across the globe were already reaching for the same fruit. Around the same time, a UK psychiatrist named Sean Spence reported that areas of the prefrontal cortex lit up on fMRI when his subjects lied in response to questions about what they had done that day. Researchers from the University of Hong Kong provided additional confirmation of a distinctive set of neurocircuits involved in deception.
For fMRI early adopters, these breakthroughs validated the practical value of functional imaging itself. "I felt this was one of the first fMRI applications with real value and global interest," Langleben says. "It had implications in crime and society at large, in defense, and even for the insurance industry."
The subject took on a new urgency after 9/11 as security shot to the top of the national agenda. Despite questions about reliability, the use of polygraph machines grew rapidly, both domestically - where the device is employed to evaluate government workers for security clearances - and in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, where Defense Department polygraphers are deployed to extract confessions, check claims about weapons of mass destruction, confirm the loyalty of coalition officers, and grill spies.
The need for a better way to assess credibility was underscored by a 2002 report, The Polygraph and Lie Detection, by the National Research Council. After analyzing decades of polygraph use by the Pentagon and the FBI, the council concluded that the device was still too unreliable to be used for personnel screening at national labs. Stephen Fienberg, the scientist who led the evaluation committee, warned: "Either too many loyal employees may be falsely judged as deceptive, or too many major security threats could go undetected. National security is too important to be left to such a blunt instrument." The committee recommended the vigorous pursuit of other methods of lie detection, including fMRI.
"The whole area of research around deception and credibility assessment had been minimal, to say the least, over the last half-century," says Andrew Ryan, head of research at the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute. DoDPI put out a call for funding requests to scientists investigating lie detection, noting that "central nervous system activity related to deception may prove to be a viable area of research." Grants from DoDPI, the Department of Homeland Security, Darpa, and other agencies triggered a wave of research into new lie-detection technologies. "When I took this job in 1999, we could count the labs dedicated to the detection of deception on one hand," Ryan says. "Post-2001, there are 50 labs in the US alone doing this kind of work."
Through their grants, federal agencies began to influence the direction of the research. The early studies focused on discovering "underlying principles," as Columbia's Hirsch puts it - the basic neuromechanisms shared by all acts of deception - by averaging data obtained from scanning many subjects. But once government agencies like DoDPI started looking into fMRI, what began as an exploration of the brain became a race to build a better lie detector.
Paul Root Wolpe, a senior fellow at the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania, tracks the development of lie-detection technologies. He calls the accelerated advances in fMRI "a textbook example of how something can be pushed forward by the convergence of basic science, the government directing research through funding, and special interests who desire a particular technology."
Langleben's team, whose work was funded partially by Darpa, began focusing more on detecting individual liars and less on broader psychological issues raised by the discovery of deception networks in the brain. "I wanted to take the research in that direction, but I was hell-bent on building a lie detector, because that's where our funders wanted us to go," he says.
To eliminate one major source of polygraph error - the subjectivity of the human examiner - Langleben and his colleagues developed pattern-recognition algorithms that identify deception in individual subjects by comparing their brain scans with those in a database of known liars. In 2005, both Langleben's lab and a DoDPI-funded team led by Andrew Kozel at the Medical University of South Carolina announced that their algorithms had been able to reliably identify lies.
By the end of 2006, two companies, No Lie MRI and Cephos, will bring fMRI's ability to detect deception to market. Both startups originated in the world of medical diagnostics. Cephos founder Steven Laken helped develop the first commercial DNA test for colorectal cancer. "FMRI lie detection is where DNA diagnostics were 10 or 15 years ago," he says. "The biggest challenge is that this is new to a lot of different groups of people. You have to get lawyers and district attorneys to understand this isn't a polygraph. I view it as no different than developing a diagnostic test."
Laken got interested in marketing a new technology for lie detection when he heard about the number of prisoners being held without charges at the US base in Guant�namo Bay, Cuba. "If these detainees have information we haven't been able to extract that could prevent another 9/11, I think most Americans would agree that we should be doing whatever it takes to extract it," he says. "On the other hand, if they have no information, detaining them is a gross violation of human rights. My idea was that there has to be a better way of determining whether someone has useful information than torture or the polygraph."

I complete my last comment : the 2 files are loaded even if the primary blog uses BP Default.

- Keywords 2nd-opinion removed
Just checked, on multisite legacy's buddypress.css and buddypress.js are also loaded in child blogs.
In 01.patch, I've done a number of things:
- Move all theme compat logic away from the BP_Legacy class constructor and into the parent BP_Theme_Compat class under a new method - start().
- Add multisite and multiblog checks to the start() method
- Add last check for a BP template (members/members-loop.php) as a final resort
- Rework conditional logic so we don't have to check for bp-default and the members loop until necessary
- Use the new parent start() method in the BP_Legacy class constructor.
The decision to move all theme compat logic away from BP Legacy was so future BP template packs can easily use the parent start() method instead of having to add that logic in their class constructor.
The multisite and multiblog checks address imath's problem about BP Legacy's styles being added where they shouldn't.
The members/members-loop.php check was added so theme authors don't necessarily need to add add_theme_support( 'buddypress' ) to their theme, which is great as a lot of theme authors will be late in updating their themes.
Let me know what you think.
comment:5 @boonebgorges — 3 years ago
At a glance, I mostly like this method much better. Doing the logic in the base BP_Theme_Compat sense makes much, much more sense.
The locate_template() brute-force is somewhat unelegant and inefficient. I worry about running this kind of locate_template() call on every single page load (which is what will happen in cases where theme compat actually ends up running). Is it possible to cache this value somewhere where it'll be more easily accessible? Or am I being overly concerned about a miniscule bit of overhead?
The multisite/multiblog stuff is good, though it undercuts the original point of this ticket, which is that styles need to be loaded where the members/groups widgets are loaded - which is possible on non-root blogs. I guess the correct solution for that particular issue is to put some minimal styles into a separate stylesheet, and then enqueue it from the widget's display method.
comment:6 @r-a-y — 3 years ago
I worry about running this kind of locate_template() call on every single page load (which is what will happen in cases where theme compat actually ends up running).
Yeah, I understand that it's an unnecessary check, but the performance should be miniscule as is_file() / file_exists() calls are cached in the stat cache.
We could add this temporarily and look to remove the locate_template() check in 1.8 when hopefully all theme devs are aware of add_theme_support( 'buddypress' ).
If you think that's inefficient, check out BP_Component::includes() and BP's own bp_locate_template(), which both use a ton of is_file() and file_exists() checks when a file doesn't exist! :)
styles need to be loaded where the members/groups widgets are loaded - which is possible on non-root blogs.
We could add a separate method - enqueue_sitewide_styles() - above the multiblog check and add a sitewide stylesheet that would include the widget styles? Or BP core could handle this much like it does the widget JS.

Touché :)

This seems simpler to me. At least for 1.7, I think chances are pretty low that anyone is going to be creating BP template packs so extensive as to include widget stylesheets. For this release, let's roll imath's suggested styles into standalone stylesheets, and enqueue them from the widgets like we do with their js.
As for r-a-y's patch, I'll try to test it this weekend. I think it's sensible to try to include this in 1.7, because it makes life much easier for people building their own theme packs, and we don't want to encourage people to make them more complicated than necessary. I'll try to build some unit tests for it too, if I get a few minutes.
comment:8 @boonebgorges — 3 years ago
comment:9 @boonebgorges — 3 years ago
I've done some thinking about this, and I think that r6865 is a good enough solution for now.
For one thing, it's not trivial to add some styles to a widgets-only stylesheet, and then to load only that on child blogs. That's because the widget inherits at least some of its styles from the main buddypress.css. And duplicating those inherited styles in a widgets-only stylesheet will make it more complicated for themers to make consistent changes across sites. In any case, since buddypress.css is fairly stripped down (it only applies to the #buddypress div, unlike the heftier stylesheet of bp-default), it's not likely to clash with other stylesheets, so there shouldn't be any compatibility issues if we load buddypress.css even when it's not used. And CSS files are so aggressively cached by browsers that it shouldn't matter in terms of performance.
More generally, I don't think there's a huge performance issue with running the theme compat process on blogs other than the root blog. For templates, theme compat only kicks in when bp_locate_template() (or a related function) is called, which it won't be on these child blogs. For CSS, loading the stylesheet is fairly harmless; see the paragraph above. The only real worry is our JS, where there could, in theory, be conflicts with markup in a child theme. In a perfect world, we'd do some rudimentary checks before attaching any of our jquery stuff (like, we'd check for the presence of #buddypress or something), but IMO it's only in a fairly extreme edge case that there'd be a problem, so it's not pressing to fix for 1.7.
Finally, while I think it's fine to run theme compat on non-root blogs, I do like some of r-a-y's other suggestions: namely, (a) moving the bp-default, etc checks into a start() method of the parent class, and (b) introducing the locate_templace( 'members/members-loop' ) brute-force BP compatibility check. Moreover, I think that they are very good things to introduce before 1.7, because it'll set the stage for the best practices in child theming/template-pack development (for instance, we'd have a hard time moving the setup_globals() calls later on, if template packs had already implemented it the old way). So I'm going to go ahead and commit those changes, and close this ticket.
comment:10 @boonebgorges — 3 years ago
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
(In [6866]) Moves some core theme compatibility logic to the BP_Theme_Compat parent class
Since every new BP template pack will need to do the same kinds of checks
before starting the theme compat process (is this a child theme of bp-default,
etc), it makes sense for a parent::start() method to handle the logic, rather
than requiring individual template packs to reproduce it in their child
In addition, this changeset introduces a fallback check for legacy BuddyPress
themes. For themes that are not child themes of bp-default and also have not
declared current_theme_supports( 'buddypress' ), BP_Theme_Compat::start() now
checks for the existence of members/members-loop.php in the current theme, and
if found, it interprets it as a sign that the current theme does indeed support
BuddyPress, and that theme compatibility should be aborted. Theme authors are
still urged to use current_theme_supports( 'buddypress' ) in their template

The check for the existence of 'members/members-loop.php' seems to be affecting my approach to the BuddyPress upgrade process.
With BP 1.7, I was planning not to declare add_theme_support('buddypress') so that the legacy javascript was auto-loaded - and then I would dequeue the legacy CSS file. Now, however, my theme is assumed to support BuddyPress even though I have opted not to declare that it does.
Could BuddyPress at least register the legacy CSS and javascript with wp_register_style() and wp_register_script() so that theme developers have the option to easily add them if they detect version 1.7?
comment:18 @r-a-y — 3 years ago
With BP 1.7, I was planning not to declare add_theme_support('buddypress') so that the legacy javascript was auto-loaded
add_theme_support( 'buddypress' ) tells BP not to load BuddyPress' theme compatibility layer or any of its CSS and JS. So you do want to add this code snippet.
The development version of BP Template Pack automatically adds add_theme_support( 'buddypress' ) in its codebase so you shouldn't have to worry about this.
Try the bleeding version:
And let us know if that addresses your problems.
Edit: To clarify, I mean that the next version of BP Template Pack will automatically add add_theme_support('buddypress'), so you shouldn't have to worry about adding this code snippet to your WP theme.

This seems a bit overcomplicated. If your theme comes with BP templates, then I assume that you want them to be used. The purpose of add_theme_support( 'buddypress' ); is to tell BP not to do theme compat - that is, to use your bundled templates. So, like r-a-y says, I'd suggest that you declare it.
Could BuddyPress at least register the legacy CSS and javascript with wp_register_style() and wp_register_script() so that theme developers have the option to easily add them if they detect version 1.7?
The problem with that is that the bulk of the bp-legacy stuff is not loaded at all if your theme declares current_theme_supports( 'buddypress' ). So, assuming you follow the advice laid out here by me and r-a-y, doing a separate wp_register_script() (rather than relying on wp_enqueue_script() to do the work, as we do now) wouldn't help much.
That said, if you want to use bp-legacy's JS, you should just register/enqueue it directly. The following should work:
wp_enqueue_script( 'bp-legacy-js', BP_PLUGIN_URL . '/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js' );
comment:20 @needle — 2 years ago
Thanks r-a-y and boonebgorges - yes, working with the github BP Template Pack fixes my issues. I don't need to declare add_theme_support('buddypress') in my theme and can keep instructions to people as they were. I was thinking that it would be nice to dispense with the need for BP Template Pack, but since existing installs of my theme use it, it makes sense to keep going with it.
That said, if you want to use bp-legacy's JS, you should just register/enqueue it directly.
Thank you both for your help.

imath did some great work in his original patch; however, in the CSS, we make assumptions that every theme will use a widget class.
That is not always the case. For example, TwentyTen uses the widget-container class instead of widget. Therefore, the widget styles will not apply.
The widget JS will also fail because the JS explicitly depends on the widget class:
In 03.patch, I've wrapped all BP widgets with <div class="widget buddypress">. This is so imath's CSS will still work and most importantly, BP's widget JS is able to pick up the widget filter. I've also tweaked the CSS a tiny bit.
We should look at adding this back into the 1.7 milestone.
comment:23 @boonebgorges — 2 years ago
Thanks, r-a-y. But I don't think that we can do what you've suggested. If we add .widget to an inner div, it could cause all sorts of other issues if the .widget class appears on parent elements (as it will in some themes).
It's unfortunate that the styling and js are busted on themes that don't use the .widget class as we expect, but as far as I can tell, this is not a regression: on *secondary* (ie, non-BP) blogs, this always would have been the case.
I think we do need a solution, but I think it needs more thought, and possibly some modification to the way the JS works. In the meantime, I don't think this is serious enough to hold up the release - we can fix in a point release.

True; this was something I was thinking about myself after I posted 03.patch.
03b.patch is an alternative patch and should satisfy all requirements.
- I've renamed all widget classes to widget-buddypress
- I've changed all widget JS to also look for widget-buddypress so we can keep compatibility with bp-default themes
- I've changed bp-legacy's CSS from .widget.buddypress to .widget-buddypress
Tested on bp-default, TwentyTen and TwentyTwelve.
Let me know what you think.
Update: We could also change the widget classname to "widget buddypress". The downside to this is if a theme already uses widget in the class, it'll be duplicated. But W3C doesn't consider duplicate class names as invalid HTML (just checked). I know this is considered bad syntax, but thought I'd throw it out there as another alternative!

(In [6903]) Restore legacy widget CSS classes for backwards-compatibility.
r6865 changed all widget CSS classes to 'buddypress'.
However, we have to be considerate to themes that are already using the
older widget CSS classes from BP 1.6 and lower.
This commit brings back these CSS classes. See #4869.

r-a-y - What's left to do on this ticket?

What's left to do on this ticket?
We need to address what I mentioned in comment:22.
There are two alternatives that I brought up, which are both mentioned in comment:24:
- attachment:4869.03b.patch - which changes the widget CSS class from 'buddypress' to 'widget-buddypress'. Negatives to this is changing the CSS class, which might interfere with theme devs that are already using the current classes.
- Adding an additional 'widget' class to the existing widget CSS classes. This is probably the easiest fix, but could cause duplicate CSS classes, but it passes W3C validation.

- Keywords commit added
Let's go ahead and change the widget class. I'm guessing there are very few users who have used that particular selector to change widget styles in the few months since 1.7 came out. If anything crops up during the beta period, we'll consider other routes.

The problem with attachment:4869.03b.patch is the widget class change will also affect bp-default, which might cause CSS issues on customized bp-default themes. So I'm not sure that is the right way to address this either. Damn backpat!
This leaves adding the additional 'widget' class as the only option unless there is a better idea?
comment:31 @boonebgorges — 2 years ago
OK, let's just go with the additional 'widget' class and see what happens during the beta period.

Eleanor Holmes Norton
A Purity Ring For Bambi
September 15, 2011
The moral relativists are at it again. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D., D.C.) and Reps. Jim Moran (D., Va.) and Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.) have written Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to propose use of a non-lethal immunocontraception vaccine to control the population of white-tailed deer in Rock Creek Park. The deer have taken over this urban park, which runs the length of Washington, DC, posing a danger to motorists.
Meet Trey Gowdy, Tea Party Politician and D.C.'s Most Unlikely Friend
July 06, 2011
A few weeks ago, in anticipation of the District's budget being taken up by Congress, I joined D.C. autonomy activists at a small press conference tucked away in the back corridors of the U.S. Capitol. The District's lone delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton, and its mayor, Vincent Gray, took the opportunity to rally representatives from various organizations to join in D.C's most awkward annual ritual: attempting to beg, scold, or otherwise shame Congress into abstaining from attaching riders to the city's budget.
Just How Much Taxation Without Representation?
April 15, 2010
Over the past year or so the nebulous movement known as the Tea Party has co-opted many of the symbols of the founding fathers to fight against (among other things) taxation without representation. However, on Tax Day it is important to remember the one group of present-day citizens who know what "taxation without representation" really means: residents of the District of Columbia. A refresher: Washington, D.C.

Nite Lite Photo Of The Day~
May 1, 2012 3:02 PM
The Pagoda at Patterson Park, originally known as the Observation Tower, was designed in 1890 by Charles H. Latrobe, then Superintendent of Parks. Erected on Fort Hill, also known as Hampstead Hill, the Pagoda still stands on this site…
While known as the Pagoda because of its oriental architectural appearance, the design was intended to reflect the bold Victorian style of the day. From the hill one can view downtown, the suburbs, and the Baltimore harbor.

The Seminary is located on a suburban campus of 15 acres at the intersection of Church Road (Route 73) and Willow Grove Avenue in Glenside (Cheltenham Township, Montgomery County), approximately three miles from the Fort Washington exit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and within a half hour of Center City Philadelphia. All the many advantages of a large metropolitan area for study, ministry, employment opportunities, recreation, and cultural interests are thus readily available. In addition to the colleges and seminaries, the libraries and museums, and the famous symphony orchestra of Philadelphia, the cities of New York and Washington, D.C., are also easily accessible.
Most of the Seminary's administrative offices are located here, including Admissions, Alumni, Development, Registrar, Student Affairs, and the offices of the president.
There are five buildings on the main suburban campus. Van Til Hall was dedicated in 1975 in honor of Cornelius Van Til, former professor of apologetics. It contains air-conditioned classrooms equipped with smart technology, both audio and video instructional aids, a student/faculty mail room, a large lobby for receptions or exhibits, and the 350-seat Rust Auditorium, named in honor of Adolf H. Rust, a longtime friend and supporter of the Seminary.
The Montgomery Library, dedicated in memory of James H. Montgomery of Rochester, New York, and of his sister, Marguerite Montgomery, is a three-story stone building, air-conditioned, containing quiet areas for research. With the addition of the Andreas Academic Center, seating is available for 215 users.
The Andreas Academic Center is a four-story addition to the library, named for honorary trustee Lowell W. Andreas. Here the faculty offices are arranged by departmental floor. This building also houses a 16-user student computer lab, the Westminster Hebrew Institute, the SaRang Korean Missions Center, the Craig Center for the Study of the Westminster Standards (equipped with smart technology), and the Edward J. Young Seminar Room.
The J. Gresham Machen Memorial Hall houses the administrative offices. It also provides dormitory and kitchen facilities for 18 unmarried students, or those at seminary without their spouses.
The Student Center contains the Loft and the Cafe.
Visitors are welcome at any time of the year. Students wishing to meet with an Admissions representative should write or phone to arrange an appointment. Click here for directions.
Although the campus is located outside the limits of the city of Philadelphia, the postal address is: Westminster Theological Seminary, P.O. Box 27009, Philadelphia, PA 19118. All communications and packages sent through the postal system for members of the administration, staff, faculty, and student body should bear this address.

CRANSTON ŌĆō All the West Warwick football team needed Friday night was four good quarters; the result on the scoreboard meant less than how the team played in their season-opening, non-league game against Division IŌĆÖs Cranston East.
The Wizards got both.
After going 3-7 last season, West Warwick was out to prove it is a much improved team; Friday against Cranston East, the Wizards were clearly the better team as their defense took the ThunderboltsŌĆÖ running game completely out of the books and the offense played smart football in a 33-14 win.

NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Mike Pignataro, a Vietnam vet, thought his war efforts were over until Sept. 11, 2001, when he was thrust onto the front lines of what is now called the War on Terror.
The Purple Heart recipient, who lost part of his left leg flying in combat, recalls the shocking events with the introspection of someone who had already experienced hell only to face the same sort of devastation decades later.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Louisville isn't ready to be relegated to spoiler status just yet.
Heading into Thursday's game at No. 6 West Virginia, the Cardinals think there's still time to save a disappointing season.
"It's an opportunity to go and get a big, big upset and go out there and show on national TV that we're still a good football team and we can still play," quarterback Brian Brohm said.
It's a phrase Brohm couldn't have imagined saying in the preseason, when it appeared the Cardinals and the Mountaineers would once again meet in early November with Big East bragging rights on the line.
The winner of the last two games has gone on to claim the conference title and a Bowl Championship Series game victory. Louisville won a 44-34 thriller last year in arguably the biggest victory in program history.
Thursday's game could be just as big for the Cardinals, who plummeted from No. 8 in September to out of the polls entirely after a string of embarrassing losses.
"Obviously it hasn't gone the way we planned," Brohm said. "But I think we've got to put that behind us and look at it like it's a new season these last three games and make the most out of the season we can."
The Cardinals (5-4, 2-2 Big East) will likely need to win at least two out of their final three against the Mountaineers (7-1, 2-1), South Florida and Rutgers to earn a bowl berth for the 10th straight season.
It won't be easy. The last time the Cardinals played at Mountaineer Field, they let a 24-7 second-half lead get away in a 46-44 triple-overtime loss that proved to be West Virginia star Steve Slaton's breakout game. Slaton scored six touchdowns as the victory propelled the Mountaineers to a conference crown and a win in the Sugar Bowl.
Brohm ended that game just short of the goal line while trying to score a game-tying 2-point conversion in the third overtime. More than two years later, the energy that pulsed through the stadium during West Virginia's comeback still echoes.
"It was especially loud toward the end of the game when they were coming back, all that momentum, you could feel it in the stadium," he said.
The Cardinals would like nothing better than to make one of the more rowdy places in college football fall quiet after ruining the Mountaineers' outside shot at a berth in the BCS national title game.
And though the Mountaineers rank in the top 10 in the nation in total offense and total defense, Louisville is hardly shying away from the challenge.
"We feel we can play with anybody, and we feel we're matched evenly with West Virginia," Brohm said. "We don't feel like they have any superior talent or any advantage over us. We can play with them, we can play with everybody that's left on our schedule. There's no intimidation factor going in there."
Maybe, but the Cardinals will need to play more crisply than they have recently. Louisville began the season as one of the nation's highest-scoring offenses but has averaged just 26 points a game against conference opponents.
"We have too many negative plays," Brohm said. "We just need to avoid getting in third-and-longs. If we can keep moving the ball forward, throw the ball away, avoid a sack, we can stop hurting ourselves."
Just as troubling has been the team's inability to put opponents away. The Cardinals let a 10-point lead against Connecticut get away then needed a goal line fumble by Pittsburgh in the final minutes to avoid overtime.
"I think we need to learn to finish games," coach Steve Kragthorpe said. "When we've gotten ourselves in the lead, we haven't played particularly well. We have to understand at that point in time, to me, that the game is still 0-0 in terms of the way we play each snap."

Shrapnel - THE VIRUS CONSPIRES
For the last five to ten years, I have been championing the return of thrash metal by a series of new bands. Some have made it and built pretty solid careers (Havok, Municipal Waste), and others have come and gone (what happened to Lazarus AD). That said though, there's be no shortage of bands in the last decade that have returned to the roots of thrash to make authentic and new thrash that have been more than welcome to those of us that live in hope that Exodus and Death Angel can continue their winning ways since coming back. In short, it's been very good to have a gluttony of new bands making this kind of music. Formed in 2009, Shrapnel jumps right into the middle of this fold with THE VIRUS CONSPIRES. This release is 100% a facemelter, seemingly cut out of 1988 and intent to simply destroy everything in it's path. It's technically excellent, sonically crushing and as good a thrasher as anything that's come along in awhile.

"I have 10 souls in my pocket—childhoods ravaged, memories destroyed by this man. You can't give back the pieces of their souls that he took."
That's what lead prosecutor Joseph McGettigan said on the final day of the Jerry Sandusky trial, just before jurors began deliberations on 48 counts of child sex abuse. He's right. Even if Jerry Sandusky is sent to prison for the rest of his life, that doesn't undo the alleged abuse these ten men say they suffered. Yes, a guilty conviction would give them a sense of closure, a sense of justice, but it doesn't go back in time and stop this alleged tragedy from ever occurring.
So how do we move forward now, after hearing about the nightmares these men say they lived as little boys, stories of screams that went unanswered, abuse that went unnoticed? When the verdict comes in, do we watch the media coverage of it, then turn the channel, move on to the next big story? No. Just as those twelve jurors now have a responsibility to give these alleged victims justice, so too do all of us.
The only bright spot in this tragic case is the spotlight it shed on the issue of child sex abuse and the awareness that was raised by the high-profile nature of the case. Jennifer Marsh, director of the National Sexual Assault Hotline, told me on The CrimeLine that when the accusations against Jerry Sandusky began in November, she saw an over 50% spike in the number of calls. Similarly, when the trial began, she saw a 30% jump in the number of calls. She says the strength these accusers showed when testifying on the stand has inspired other survivors to come forward and break their silence.
Not only has the case inspired survivors, but also witnesses. "It's been an educational process for people," said Marsh. "We've had people through the hotline who say, 'I think there is something going on, but I'm not really sure,' people speaking up, people as a community realizing this is their responsibility."
She says there are many lessons to be learned from the trial: victims are not alone, it's not their fault, there is help and there are resources out there, and those who suspect abuse have a responsibility to speak up. My hope is that once the verdict is in, the lessons learned from this trial are not forgotten. My call to action to all of us who have been following the trial is to continue to raise awareness and to try to prevent child sex abuse. How? Education.
We must educate children about the danger of child sex abuse, the signs, how to stop it and how to speak up. Erin Merryn, a survivor of child sex abuse, has toured the country emphasizing the need for each and every state to pass Erin's Law, which would require schools to educate children about sex abuse in a child friendly manner. "Growing up in Illinois public schools every year I was educated with my classmates on tornado drills, fire drills, bus drills, stranger danger, and learned the 8 steps to say "NO" to drugs through D.A.R.E.–Where was the drill on how to escape a child molester? Where was the lesson plan on sexual abuse, safe touches, and safe secrets," Merryn asks in her online petition. Erin's Law has been passed in five states. Let's hope the Sandusky trial inspires more people to write their legislators to pass the law nationwide.
We must also educate parents about the warning signs of sex abuse and how to prevent it, including within their own circle of family and friends. Fight Crime: Invest in Kids is a nationwide campaign for child abuse and neglect prevention. The campaign is urging Congress to protect and expand funding for evidence-based home visiting services. These home visiting programs focus on the range between prenatal care to preschool age and send specialized paraprofessionals to the homes of low-income, first-time young mothers. Home visitors provide guidance to young parents and help families address head-on the most prevalent reasons for child abuse and neglect. "This case is an urgent reminder that all of us have a responsibility to protect children from harm," said Natasha O'Dell Archer, national director of Fight Crime: Invest in Kids. "We can and must do more to prevent cases of abuse wherever and whenever we can. The research shows that we can start doing that by ensuring that at-risk families have access to voluntary home visiting with proven ability to help prevent child abuse."
As the saga of the Jerry Sandusky trial comes to a close, the fight against child sex abuse is far from over. These are just some steps we can take to try to fight back: raise awareness and educate. For more on lessons learned from the trial, watch this week's CrimeLine.

The £297 waterproof jacket incorprates the Versace sister label's design sensibility with French brand K-Way's trademark practicality.
BY Bibby Sowray | 10 July 2013
Versus, the sister label of Versace, has turned to K-Way, purveyors of the humble - and rather unglamorous - pac-a-mac, for its new collaboration.
K-Way was founded in 1965 by Parisian Leon-Claude Duhamel, who wanted a lightweight, completely waterproof jacket that could be easily transported when not in use. And so the brand's signature nylon jacket which folds away into a small hip bag was born.
Almost 50 years later and the brand is still as popular as ever with both young and old, and provides an array of different styles. It's no stranger to a high-fashion collaboration either; Marc Jacobs and hip French brand A.P.C. have previously teamed up with K-Way.
READ: Versus's next collaboration will be with K-Way
But this latest partnership with Versus has produced by far their wackiest product to date. The two labels have created what they claim is the "perfect" zip-up jacket and an iPad case that incorporate equal measures of style and practicality.
K-Way's trademark packable, reversible, wind and waterproof jacket has been adorned with the Op-Art-esque monochrome pattern inspired by the brand's latest ready-to-wear collection, which was created by British designer J.W. Anderson. Of course, if the pattern is a little too wacky, then you can simply turn it inside out to have just a plain black jacket.
To co-ordinate with the jacket there's lightweight, resistant and waterproof iPad case, which features a black outer and monochrome patterned inner for £79.
The Versus x K-Way iPad case
"I love the Versus Versace and K-Way collaboration, because Versus Versace lives on the street," said Donatella Versace, the Italian brand's creative director. "The jacket and iPad case are an amazing new way to get the Versus Versace look, and to bring attitude and energy to everyday essentials."
The collaboration is part of Versus's new re-positioning plan, which sees the brand team up with different brands and guest designers to create capsule collections to sit alongside the seasonless Versus Versace range.
The jacket and iPad case are avaiable from versusversace.com now.

Our Facility
There won't be any surprises when you come to visit our farm because it's as pretty as the pictures show you and we do our very best to keep it clean all the time!
We have an indoor arena sized 60' x 145' with a great stereo system to allow you to enjoy your favorite music while you ride!! Our 88' x 177' outdoor arena is finished in vinyl and we had it COMPLETELY and professionally re-done in August 2013. It is a beautiful and safe riding space and there are NO rocks to pick!!!!
For lunging or working with your horse there is a 60' wooden round pen on site as well.
There are 13 fenced paddocks/fields and the fencing primarily consists of electric, vinyl and coated wire. All but 2 fields have their own run-in shelter and there is electricity to most of the paddocks so we're able to have heated water in the winter. The barn houses 12 stalls with windows, (all but one) and they range in sizes from 10' x 10's to 11 1/2' x 14's. In the stalls are automatic waterers and rubber mats topped up with a generous amount of pine shavings in every stall.
Our wash stall has hot and cold running water and is a favorite tool that's regularly used by all our boarders or if you prefer we have an Anivac system for bathing.
Tacking up your horse is convenient by using any one of our 5 sets of safe cross ties within our 10' wide aisle ways. A large tack room with an automatic locking door is available for our boarder's tack and conveniently located close to the cross ties. We will be building individual tack boxes, hopefully in the 2013 Fall/Winter.
For you and your horses safety we installed a security system that allows us to have cameras running and recording 24 hours a day. This system was installed in August 2012.
Please have a look at some of the pictures of our beautiful facility and property!

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
Known across Britain as Wozza or AWT, Anthony Worrall Thompson - whose godfather was screen legend Richard Burton - became a household name through appearances on Ready Steady Cook and as the presenter of Daily Cooks Challenge.
Born on May 1, 1951, in Stratford-upon-Avon, Henry Anthony Cardew Worrall Thompson attended a public school in Canterbury before going on to study hotel and catering management at Westminster College. In 1978 he landed a job as a sous chef at Brinkley's Restaurant in London, where his culinary talents obviously made an impression as he was promoted to head chef after just a month. After taking time out with a six-month sabbatical in France, Anthony returned to the restaurant and incorporated all he'd learned abroad in a revamped menu.

text: Cactus Jack 5pts After driving Chrysler minivans for almost 20 years, I got the Enclave (which is almost identical in specs) because I find the new Town and Country to be godawful ugly. I'm actually considering getting rid of it already after only 4,500 miles. I loved my Chrysler's 3.8 and 4 speed automatic, hate Buick's 6 speed which seems to shift up and down at odd times. Not nearly as pleasant driving on hilly or twisty roads as the Chrysler. I miss the sliding side doors, which are much more convenient in parking lots and a lot easier to get in and out of. Unbelievably, I never even thought to check if the seats fold flat or remove -- I just assumed it. Major mistake!! Despite nearly identical measurements, I could get a 4X8 sheet of wallboard or plywood to lay flat on the floor of my Chryslers; I had to cut 16" off and tilt it sideways to get a 4X8 panel in this car. And gas mileage is much lower than in my old Chrysler. This car is nice and quiet and rides and handles well.

Comments about Liquid Force Shane Hybrid Wakeboard 2012:
Previous to this board, I had the 138 Shane Carbon X, which was a light, snappy board. I really liked how easy it was to break it loose, and on edge it was locked in. Instantly after riding the Hybrid, I liked it even more. The grind base is fast and loose, I was really surprised with the difference, just awesome. It feels a little heavy, but isn't any heavier compared to other brands boards at the same level. Once I was riding it, I couldn't tell any weight difference. It has awesome pop, ollies great, and lands soft.If you are looking for a fun board to ride, this has my recommendation. Of other boards I have ridden, trust me I am no pro, just someone who loves to ride, this has been my favorite.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Shane has yet again delivered true perfection. Buttery wholeness with edges that would carve out lines on Mount Vesuvius like the veins of an Autumn Aspen.

I heard the following rumor, FWIW: La Sportiva is selling a DIY shoe studding kit. You can also use sheet metal screws to "nail" your boots or shoes, but word is they pull out all too easily. Hobnails work better, as the threads are designed to really grab and hold in just about any sole rubber, and they're tipped with tungsten alloy so they last longer than soft steel sheet metal screws. Plus you can insert to optional depths, thus making the nail more aggressive or more mellow in terms of how they feel and perform.
It is not a rumor. :)http://www.sportiva.com/products/prod/441Also found this interesting article:http://www.mountainrunning.com/features/february_08/index.html
I've used the sheet metal studs for a couple years, and haven't had a problem with them coming out. Be sure to use an electric drill with adjustable torque, and set the torque low, so that you don't strip the rubber. Good advice here:http://www.skyrunner.com/screwshoe.htmI've found some harder screws herehttp://www.korkys.com/Kold_Kutter_Ice_Studs_p/20260.htm I use 3/8" long screws for winter running shoes. Have fun!

After a 6% run in just four days, profit taking overtook the markets Monday with 22 of the Dow's (DJI) 30 blue chips closing lower. There was little in the way of negative news to account for the pullback; in fact, there were a number of positive developments.
Several retail sales stocks, including Best Buy (BBY) and Amazon.com (AMZN), were upgraded because of their strong positions in an otherwise weak economy, but Macy's (M) and Target (TGT) received lower earnings revisions.
The energy stocks were generally higher, impacted by higher crude oil prices, and the banking group was generally lower following a cut in estimated earnings for the year on JPMorgan Chase (JPM).
Technology stocks were strong, following an assurance by Apple's (AAPL) Steve Jobs, who addressed his health issues with investors, and the stock rose 4.2%.
But the health of the auto industry is still poor, and even though the December auto sales numbers were better than expected they were the worst in many years with General Motors (GM) reporting December sales off 31% versus December 2007 and Ford (F) down 32%. Worst hit was Chrysler, which reported sales down 53%.
Yet economic news was better than expected. The Commerce Department reported that construction spending in November fell 0.6%, but experts had been looking for a fall of 1.2%.
At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) was down 82 points to 8,953. The S&P 500 (SPX) fell four points, closing at 927, and the Nasdaq (NASD) was off four points at 1,628.
The February crude oil contract rose $2.47 to $48.81 a barrel, and the Amex Energy SPDR (XLE) gained $1.18 to $51.33.
Gold futures were lower on Monday. The February contract lost $21.70 at $857.80. The PHLX Gold/Silver Index (XAU) lost $4.65 and closed at $118.78.
What the Markets Are Saying
Monday's low-volume selling did little to enlighten technicians as to the future direction of the market. But it should serve to remind anyone who is an outright bull that the going is tough for those who choose to run against the grain of a bear market.
Even though last week's rally was impressive, there have been stronger rallies than that recently. The six-day run that ended on Nov. 4 (Election Day) at Dow (DJI) 9,625 produced a return of more than 18%. It wasn't long, however, before the bear reared its head and, on Nov. 21, stocks hit a new low at Dow 7,392.
Our internal indicators are now overbought and the S&P short-term indicators are now bearish. Only the intermediate term is neutral, and long term is bearish. Let's not get caught up in bullish fever unless Dow 9,600 and S&P 1,010 are broken with gusto. We remain hedged with a bias to the short side of the market.
Today's Trading Landscape
Earnings to be reported include: Acuity Brands (AYI), Aehr Test Systems (AEHR), AngioDynamics (ANGO), Finish Line (FINL), Global Payments (GPN), Landec Corp (LNDC), Neogen (NEOG), Resources Global Professionals (RECN), Standard Microsystems Corp. (SMSC), The Mentor Network (NWK) and Xyratex Ltd (XRTX).
Several economic reports are due including: the Redbook Retail Sales Index for Jan. 3, December Non-Manufacturing Index (the consensus expects 37), November Pending Home Sales (the consensus expects 0.4%), November Factory Orders (the consensus expects -2.2%), December FOMC Minutes, and ABC/Washington Post Consumer Confidence for Jan. 3.

ICA holds a veritable treasure trove of historical recordings, the Cologne Broadcasts especially honing in on a rich period of performance in Germany. This stellar 1956 Berlioz Requiem is conducted by maestro Dimitri Mitropoulos, an exceptional musical mind and predecessor of Leonard Bernstein as music director of the New York Philharmonic. As added interest, this release features a young Nicolai Gedda as the tenor soloist in the Sanctus.
"Dimitri Mitropoulos was best known in the US until late in his career, when he broadcast this deeply felt Requiem, still high-voltage despite mono sound ." *****
