The Problem With Public Policy Schools
December 06, 2013
James Piereson
This fall, Georgetown University announced the creation of a new school of public policy , thanks to a gift of $100 million from an alumnus. And in October, the University of New Hampshire announced that it would use a $20 million gift to launch a public policy school of its own.
It is easy to understand the impulse behind such actions. "Its an awfully frustrating time in the world," David Ellwood, dean of Harvards Kennedy School of Government, told us. "There are large and challenging problems, including climate change, demography, budget problems, terrorism, extremism and partisanship." At public policy schools, he explains, "we think its our job to fix these things." The faculty and students, Ellwood says, "are united by the principle of making the world a better place."
But are policy schools making a dent in Ellwoods long and varied list of problems? The Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration already lists some 285 such institutions in the United States, and new ones are opening up but the field as a whole seems to be having an identity crisis. The schools curricula and missions have become at once too broad and too academic, too focused on national and global issues at the expense of local and state-level ones. Its not clear that the schools are preparing their graduates to fix all that needs fixing.
"Policy schools used to be much more about how to translate ideas into solutions to public problems," says Anne-Marie Slaughter, former dean of Princetons Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and now president of the New America Foundation. Scholars at policy schools "do extremely important work," she asserts, but often, "thats not work that policymakers read."
The basic premise behind a school of policy derives from the modern idea of constitution-making that wisely crafted laws can shape the character and conduct of citizens. Philosopher David Hume articulated this view in his 1742 essay, "That Politics May Be Reduced to a Science," arguing that while sound administration is crucial in a monarchy, the structure of the constitution and laws is more important in republican systems, where individual freedoms and public good come together. James Madison and other American founders became early practitioners of Humes science of politics.
In the 20th century, political science moved from the design of constitutions to the crafting of policies by neutral experts. Progressive leaders such as John Dewey, Woodrow Wilson and Louis Brandeis argued that modern industrial society had grown too complex for the common citizen or the average elected official. It required a new class of public servants to adjudicate conflicts between business and labor and to serve on boards and commissions regulating corporate activity in the public interest.
Some of the first public policy schools were founded in the 1930s in response to the creation of New Deal government agencies. The virtue of these schools is that "they trained many people who went into government and did good things," says John DiIulio, who runs the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and was the first director of President George W. Bushs White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. "They wired the house of American bureaucracy."
Sizable government initiatives in the postwar era created more demand for such institutions, which became "an expression of the Progressive idea that bigger government was better government," DiIulio explains. For example, he says, "no one had ever built an interstate highway system before," and no one knew how to make the federal government work with state and local governments and for-profit contractors to make it happen. Enter public policy schools.
The mission of these institutions began to change in the 1970s, when the Ford Foundation issued multimillion-dollar grants to eight universities, including Yale, Duke and the University of Michigan. According to Graham Allison, writing in 2006 in the Oxford Handbook of Public Policy, the new cadre of students needed to be versed in not only "budgetary cost and efficacy" but also "social equity, civil rights, and quality of life." People who were concerned with intragovernmental relations and American federalism began to seem "old and crusty," DiIulio says. Now the goals of these schools were to dream up ways to "make the world a better place."
Lofty goals have often produced research and teaching that is further and further removed from the day-to-day operations of government. While the field is so disparate that "its hard to talk about public policy schools as a whole," Slaughter cautions, she and other school leaders identify certain trends, including a renewed zeal for quantitative analysis. When Georgetown President John J. DeGioia announced his universitys new policy school, he explained that "the availability of massive data to provide new analytic tools have resulted in an invaluable opportunity for our university." The new emphasis on big data is reminiscent of the Progressive idea that if we just gather enough information, the policy conclusions will be obvious to all.
James Wilburn, dean of Pepperdine Universitys School of Public Policy, worries that too often, "what gets studied depends on whether there is an available database." He accuses economists at policy schools of being "more interested in their models than in the people" whom public policy will affect.
Many schools have begun to look like a mishmash of the academic departments from which their faculty members hail such as political science, economics and sociology. But those people may have no more or less interest than colleagues from their home departments in shaping actual policy. Of course, many of these schools draw at least some faculty members from politicians who have lost elections or wonks whose parties are out of power in Washington. But such celebrity instructors are short-timers and do little to draw the academic faculty which dominate the schools out of their bubbles.
There is also a certain grandiosity that characterizes the missions of these institutions. With the exception of certain schools such as the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government, most schools are concerned more with national and international policy than with local and state matters. Many of the places that do focus on the latter, DiIulio says, "are not among the more prestigious."
It is not that the better-known schools never do local projects. Ellwood told us how Kennedy School students helped the mayor of Somerville, Mass., remake his citys finances with "performance-based budgeting" measuring how much snow gets plowed, for example, not how many snowplows are used. Ellwood offered this as an example of how policy schools have to focus on "management as much as big, bold, creative solutions."
But one wonders how many Kennedy School graduates aspire to solve Somervilles fiscal problems as opposed to, say, climate change and terrorism? Only 6 percent of the schools 2012 graduates went into local, regional or state-level government jobs.
To understand how much the trajectories of policy school alums have changed, one need only take note of a lawsuit against Princeton by the Robertson family. In 1961, the heirs to the A&P fortune gave $35 million to the university specifically for the purpose of training people to go into government service through the Woodrow Wilson School. Forty years later, they found that the school was instead training people to go into a lot of other fields from nonprofits to Wall Street. (After a six-year legal battle, an agreement was struck whereby Princeton retained control of the endowment, which had grown to $900 million , but would pay out $50 million to create a new foundation aimed at preparing students for government service.)
Of course, public-private partnerships are ubiquitous now; public policy isnt shaped solely by government staffers but by various sectors and players as well, and it makes sense that graduates ambitions would reflect that. Indeed, Slaughter says that if she were starting a policy school today, it would offer only joint degrees, so that students could develop expertise in the various arenas they might encounter in the years ahead. But training people to be competent in multiple sectors only makes the job of policy schools even more diffuse.
So, what should these schools be doing in terms of training and research? DiIulio suggests that maybe its time for them to return to their roots, teaching students to focus on implementing policy and making the government we have work better. "These seem like technical, boring matters, [but] someone has to get under the hood," DiIulio says. For instance, he adds with a laugh, "How do you build an IT system for a new federally financed system of health care?"
Henry Brady, the dean at the University of California at Berkeleys Goldman School of Public Policy, told us in an e-mail that his school has been "quite successful with a real impact on bringing tough-minded economic and analytical methods into government and bringing evidence based research into the formulation of regulations and the appraisal of programs (although politicians often ignore the research)."
That last caveat may prove the most important. Slaughter notes that the research coming out of public policy schools is "less and less accessible to the lay reader. The jargon has become more and more specialized." She says she "doesnt know anyone in government who would read the academic journals that policy school professors get rewarded for publishing in," and while the "need for translation [for lay readers] is ever greater, the rewards for translation in the academy are ever smaller." Indeed, she says, "in many departments you will be less valued by your colleagues because youre no longer doing cutting edge research."
If policymakers ignore policy school research or cant understand it, what can policy professors and graduates possibly accomplish?
Arthur Brooks, formerly a professor of business and government at Syracuses Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and now president of the American Enterprise Institute, says that students coming out of policy programs are "no match for the trillions of dollars in unfunded mandates and liabilities," not to mention the "power of the unions and the bureaucracies." Public policy schools "could produce 10,000 graduates a year," he adds, "and it wouldnt hold a candle to the power of those interests." Asking whether public policy grads have made a dent in the budget crisis "is like sending 75 Jesuits to China and complaining that the country isnt Christian." Brooks says, "At Maxwell, we were just trying to train graduates to be good in whatever careers they had."
Its probably true that experts are no match for organized interests, from public-sector unions to corporations, in which case the Progressive idea was bound to fail. Unfortunately, though, its not clear that the policy schools ever fought these battles or that they are equipped to do so now.

A redesigned benefit structure is the most promising opportunity to reduce pension costs and, therefore, pension underfunding. We calculate a required accrual for pension benefits each year at 22.5 cents for every dollar of salary. Increasing the retirement age to 65 reduces pension costs from 22.5 cents for every dollar of salary to 16. 8 cents (a savings of 25.3 percent). Changing the final average compensation base to the course of a career cuts pension costs from 22.5 cents to 15.1 cents (a savings of 32.8 percent). Removing the cost of living adjustment reduces pension costs from 22.5 cents to 17.2 cents (a savings of 23.5 percent). In the unlikely case that all three of these changes were implemented, annual pension costs could be reduced by 62 percent, from 22.5 cents to 8.4 cents per dollar of salary.

As The Times of India celebrates its 175th anniversary, the largest English daily in the world is rededicating itself to leading change in the country. (Five years ago the newspaper's "Lead India" campaign, from JWT, won a Grand Prix at Cannes.) Sponsored by India's largest automaker, Maruti Suzuki, "I Lead India" seeks to mobilize youth and make them grassroots agents of change at a time when Indians are filled with negativity and pessimism. The country has seen a shocking increase in both government corruption and crime, and Indians are losing confidence in their leadership.
The campaign advocates going beyond armchair criticism, with a TV commercial urging viewers to stop pointing fingers and blaming others. Instead, it pushes Indians to stand up and be counted. "It's down to the individual. You are your own leader," says the chant that accompanies scenes of young people joining together to set fire to the status quo. Print ads encourage youth to be the change they want to see (a sentiment often credited to Gandhi). On the Web, the Times is on the lookout for youth across 26 cities to create a brigade that could spearhead change, tackling issues of critical relevance to their cities. "I Lead India" is a clarion call for the next generation.

Great holiday 10/10 for everything we will holiday again at devon
hills lodges
It was a nice place it was quite and clean not much to do in off season the only thing that let it down for us was the cleaniness of the lodge on arrivelapart from that we had a relaxed hoilday
Peaceful surroundings. Nice pub.
Beautiful setting, very quiet but would really benefit having a shop on site - appreciate there are emergency supplies that can be purchased in the bar but not the same as having a "corner shop". The lunchtime menu in the pub needs a bit of attention - not much selection - everything with chips! The evening carvery was excellent value for money.
great lodge,well kept and lovely interior. site was really nice and relaxed. Blagdon Inn was really good with excellent meals . Only downside was we were next to busy road which woke us up at 6am every morning. Can not fault it otherwise.
Lovely and peaceful break with hot tub, great food in the bar.
Excellent value for money. Staff helpful and friendly. Swimming pool clean and good size. Lodge clean and modern. Decking needed a bit more of a clean. Good location, close to supermarket and town centre.
Our lodge was close to the road and was quite noisy which wasn't a massive problem for us but I imagine if you had children this could be an issue.
Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Stunning accommodation and beautifully maintained grounds. Great pub and facilities. Quiet and remote from the hustle and bustle of life.
Very comfortable cabin in a very quiet location. We would definitely go again and have no problems recommending.
Fantastic holiday all that was missing was a little shop and possibly a stuttle bus into town.
We didn't really use the facilities on the site but if we had if been interested in keeping up with the gym or swimming it would of been ideal but it wasn't something we were interested in, as it was only me and my partner. The site was very calm and peaceful enjoyed our rest there. Would defiantly use it again .
It was great but the wifi and the TV signal was appalling
TV channel signal poor. Wi-Fi charges very high Per gadget for 24 hrs period which can significantly increase the cost of holiday (additional cost). No oven gloves in the apartment. Good facilities onsite and in the surrounding areas.
Very pleasant stay! Stayed from Friday -> Monday. Made use of facilities, Swimming pool and Sauna were lovely, Blagdon Inn was perfect, Nice pub food and small play area for kids in the garden. Very close to Paignton Zoo (and a Morrisons) which we took full advantage of being with a 3 year old. Lodge was lovely! Very big and spacious living room, Modern décor with nice size kitchen and plenty of storage. My only quibbles are the decking area around the lodge wasn't cleaned, as in there were spiders webs across all the 'fencing' which had clearly been there some time..... there were also a few spiders with oldish looking webs on the ceiling in the lodge. Cannot fault anything with the lodge other than that, a slight bit of dusting and brushing the fence would have made me score this 10/10. Also - I wish the Blagdon Inn provided more entertainment! Friday night they had karaoke and disco which our 3 year old thoroughly enjoyed, but nothing for the rest of our stay. We took all our own food as we didn't know what facilities there were but we didn't need too! Morrisons being so close by and the fact the pub does a curry 'all-you-can-eat' buffet on the Saturday and a carvery on the Sunday, you don't need to take your own food. Prices are reasonable too. Would stay here again :)

Turning Partnership into Positive Results
Partnership, collaboration, teamwork, association, alliance. These and other common buzz words are often used to describe the methods by which many community-based programs are delivered. Being a 4-H agent in a rural county in Oregon, I've found that in order to reach the intended audience, I sometimes need to pull community partners together in order to meet the established program goals.
The Need
One example is the Curry County Youth Leadership Camp. The camp was developed because of the need to provide educational programming during the summer for junior high youth. As a result of funding cuts, the Central Curry School District summer recreation program had been drastically reduced. Many youth in this rural area (town size is 2,000) would not have been involved in any outside educational or recreational programs during the summer.
Previously, the Curry County office of the Oregon State University Extension Service had collaborated with the school district on a variety of educational programs. So, a small committee went to work and developed a program that would offer leadership, team-building, problem-solving, organizational, and public-speaking skills and fun all rolled up together. The committee included participants from schools and 4-H — and it was open to both youth and adults. The result was Curry County Youth Leadership Camp.
The Program
The Youth Leadership Camp is offered to youth in grades seven through nine — mainly because other programs were available to youth in the other age levels. The county 4-H program already reaches many youth from the county, but most traditional programs — such as the 4-H summer resident camp which I direct — reach either the junior campers (fourth through sixth grade) or the senior counselors (ninth through twelfth grade).
The camp was pilot-tested for the first time during July 2004. For the two-day camp, participants traveled up the Oregon coast nearly 130 miles to Camp Baker. The camp, owned and operated by the Boy Scouts of America, offers leadership training in a challenge-based camp setting. Qualified facilitators led youth on a climbing tower and a low and a high ropes course to develop trust and leadership skills within the group. Following the one-day session at Camp Baker, the group spent a partial day at the nearby Oregon Dunes State Park. At the dunes, the campers drove dune buggies and were led in team-building exercises. The participants stayed overnight in a school, which helped to keep lodging costs down. Thirteen campers and two adult chaperones participated in this camp.
Both partners (the school district and 4-H Leaders Association) agreed to partially fund this camp with a budget of approximately $1,000. The school district assisted by providing bus transportation at a reduced price and donated the driver's time and expenses. The 4-H leaders contributed support, supplies, and staff to train chaperones, co-direct the camp, and provide follow-up after the camp. In addition, each participant contributed $40 and had to apply in order to attend.
The Results
The results from this unique camp program have been very evident and have shown that program goals have been met. They include:
The Educational Component of Camp
Camps across America are establishing that they are no longer simply a place for children to have fun, but also a partner in the educational process and in the development of youth. Camp directors recognize that the same activities and programs that their camps have traditionally offered can be packaged as highly effective alternative learning models. As education officials search for solutions to bridging educational gaps because of budget cuts, camps are uniquely positioned to fill these gaps with proven, effective programming.
Camp and Community Partnerships
As discovered with the Curry County Youth Leadership Camp, community partners are willing to invest in time, energy, and resources in order to bring about a positive, educational offering for the youth from their community.
Camps: An Expanded Role
In order to create an effective community-based partnership, it's important to have the proper balance among the participants. Balance is a characteristic of healthy communities, and a healthy community always balances the needs and interests of the group with the needs and interests of persons (DePree 1997).
Fostering New Partnerships
The Curry County Youth Leadership Camp program may have long-lasting effects in the community because it has fostered further partnerships between community agencies and organizations to address new educational opportunities. During a recent community needs assessment, sponsored by the Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service, three strategic directions were identified:
All three strategic directions support the primary goal of the OSU Extension Service of Building Sustainable Communities. Programs such as the Youth Leadership Camp enable community partners to come together to reach their clientele and promote a more healthy and capable community. OSU Extension Service is able to be more effective in reaching into the community because of these partnerships.
Camp programs that choose to view their programs as viable options in a child's educational and social development will be the ones that are successful in the future. Those that work with schools and community organizations to offer programs and activities will not only complement the school-year curriculum but also extend the learning process year-round.
Doug Hart has a B.A. and an M.A. from Oregon State University. He is an associate professor at OSU and has worked at the OSU Extension Service for sixteen years. Hart is the 4-H agent/staff chairman for the Curry County/OSU Extension Service in Gold Beach, Oregon, and has directed numerous county and regional 4-H resident and day camps.

Published Tuesday, August 09, 2011
The Newnan Times-Herald
The Georgia State Election Board voted Monday to accept Coweta County's proposed consent order and close the state election board case against Coweta.
The case was filed over the mis-districting of some residents of the Kingsbrooke subdivision off Tommy Lee Cook Road.
They live in the Coweta Board of Commissioners Third District, but some residents were districted for voting purposes in the commission Fourth District, instead.
The state election board initially heard the case in February. At that meeting, Coweta County Attorney Nathan Lee told the board that the problem stemmed from the fact that there is a subdivision named Kingsbrook in the Fourth District and some streets in Kingsbrooke "got put into the other Kingsbrook subdivision," in voter records.
Lee offered to put together a consent order laying out the actions the county will take to ensure that nothing like that ever happens again.
At Monday's state board meeting, held at the Coverdell Legislative building in downtown Atlanta, Inspector General Chris Harvey said Coweta had presented the consent order.
"They have provided a remedial plan," Harvey said. That plan includes county elections officials verifying voter registration records with the county's Geographic Information System office. "Which they have done now and which they will do every six months to make sure they are accurate," Harvey said.
There were no questions from the state elections board members, and no public speakers -- neither county officials nor anyone affected by the error.
A motion to accept the consent order and close the case was made by board member Kent Webb and seconded by David Worley. The vote was unanimous.
The state elections board will not release any details about any cases before the cases are closed. While the case is active, the only information that is released is the case number and name of the person who filed the complaint.
All information is releasable, however, once a case is closed. The Times-Herald has requested the entire case file, though it has not yet been received.

While the detective is out of the room the other people put sweets such as wrapped candies, homemade treats etc. onto a plate and name one sweet "TOMMY". Then the detective comes back into the room and picks up one sweet at a time, when the detective picks up "Tommy" the other people stop the person and all the sweets the detective has picked up is theirs to keep and the left overs go back with the other sweets. Then another person is the detective and leaves the room etc. This carries on while each person takes a turn until all the sweets have been used.

Halal Assurance
The hotel you stay in is probably the place that you will spend a considerable amount of time on your trips and probably have a number of meals. As such it is best to choose a Hotel that has a certified Halal restaurant. Here you will be fully assured that the food served is Halal. When a Halal certifying authority certifies a restaurant, it general means that both food and beverages served in the restaurant is Halal. In our Hotel listing the icon on the left indicates that the Hotel's restaurant is Halal certified.
The next best option is to find a Hotel which at least has a Halal Certified Kitchen. In this case at least some of the restaurants of the hotel, if not all, will be served by this kitchen. Since it is only the kitchen which is certified Halal, this generally also means that the Hotel may serve alcoholic beverages in the restaurants. Hotels which have a halal certified kitchen are highlighted with this icon in our Hotel listing.
Certfiying restaurants and kitchens Halal are mainly widespread in countries like Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, UK, etc. In the Middle Eastern countries, this type of certification is not fully practiced. In most Middle Eastern countries, usually the controls for halal assurance are done when the food enters the country. It is assumed the food is Halal given the controls implemented at the country level. The icon on the left is placed in our listing, in such places where the Hotel does not have an external Halal certification, but assures the food is Halal.
In such Hotels it is also ways good to check with the Restaurant Management how comfortable they are with their Halal assurance.
Then there are Hotels which say that meat items like beef, lamb, chicken etc. they procure are Halal certified. Since we are unable to fully verify this we do not highlight such features of hotels.
For Hotels which do not serve Halal food we posed a question to Mufti Jakhura whether one could eat vegetarian food in such Hotel restaurants and the answer was as follows:
"In principle, if the vegetarian food does not have any haram ingredient, nor has it been contaminated with impure utensils and cutlery or haram meat products and ingredients, it would be permissible to consume the vegetarian foods available. However, as the possibility of contamination is high, especially if the meals are prepared in the same kitchen, one should ensure that such contamination does not take place and that clean utensils and halal ingredients are used in the preperation of the vegetarian meal prior to consuming the same.
As such, care should also be taken on vegetarian and seafood items as well, that they do not include any haram ingredient and that there is no contamination with meat products.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best, Was Salaam," Mufti Shafiq Jakhura.
Halal Food only Hotels
There are many Hotels, specially in some Muslim countries, which serve only Halal food and beverages. Some of them serve Alcohol, but all the food is assured Halal. In our Hotel listing the Hotels which provide such services are highlighted by the following icons.
This indicates that all the food and beverages in the Hotel are assured Halal. Halal assurance icon in the listing will indicate how the Hotel assures the food is Halal (certified restaurants/kitchen or self assurance).
This indicates all the food in the Hotel are assured Halal. In this case the Hotel may serve Alcohol. Halal assurance icon in the listing will indicate how the Hotel assures the food is Halal (certfied restaurants/kitchen or self assurance).
Halal Food services in Hotels
You could also look at the following icons in the Hotel listing for other Halal food facilities and services in and around the Hotel:
These icons mean the Hotel has one or more restaurants serving Halal food. As for how it is assured Halal, you need to look at the three Halal assurance icons mentioned earlier in the Hotel's listing.
This indicates that the Hotel can serve Halal breakfast on request. This service is only highlighted if the Hotel does not have a restaurant serving Halal food. Some hotels are able to provide a selection of Halal breakfast on request. In this case , generally, prior request needs to made.
This icon in a hotel listing indicates that the hotel can provide a list of restaurants serving Halal food in the vicinity.
These icons indicate that in the vicinity of the Hotels there are restaurants serving Halal food.
We will Insha Allah continue to work on proviiding as accurate information as possible for the Halal conscious travellers. If you have any comments or find any errors in our hotel listing please let us know and we will do our best to correct them.
Please also do not forget, if you are not sure of finding Halal food in the destination you are travelling to, you can always take with you ready to eat halal food packages that can be found now in the supermarkets.
"O mankind! Eat of that which is Halal and Tayyib on the earth....." Quran 2:168

"Oilprices swung wildly this week, rising to near 30-month highs. ... Theride is not over yet. … There may be ups and downs, but long term, highoil prices are here to stay," predict analysts and professors in aKnowledge@Wharton (KW) March article. KW is a publishing arm of theUniversity of Pennsylvania. Among others, naturalcatastrophes, political turmoil, the economic theory of supply anddemand, negative media coverage about dwindling supplies, and possiblefurther disruptions are the main drivers of crude oil prices. Different influencingfactors may have opposite effects on oil prices, taking them for aroller coaster ride. Japan's catastrophe had a downward effect on oilprices because the market expects, given the damaged oil refineries, amuch lower Japanese demand for crude oil, lowering the price. Then, shortly after, Bahrain demonstrations drove crude oilprices up, because the world sees Saudi Arabia surrounded by countriesexperiencing political unrest. So, the guessing game is on amongexperts, and no one is really sure what the future brings. Adetrimental effect could be the fear of nuclear power plants, givenJapan's disaster. "Longer term, a backlash against nuclear energy—inJapan and beyond—could drive oil prices back up again," KW speculates.
"SaudiArabia has one-fifth of the world's proven oil reserves [approximately260 billion barrels in 2010], and maintains the world's largest oilproduction capacity," according to the EIA website. The UnitedStates, European, and Asian nations consider Saudi Arabia their mainoil supplier, and any disruption would negatively affect the economiesof many nations.Saudi Aramco, which is owned by the Saudis,has a mission to explore for more oil reserves, though their luck seemsto have run out lately, because of very little new oil fielddiscoveries. Without oil exports, Saudi Arabia's earnings from crude oil sales would be affected, as it contributes close to 90 percent of that country's revenues. Saudi Arabia was recently outpaced by Venezuela, whose presidentannounced at the beginning of 2011 that their proven reserves reached297 billion barrels, and they are now the country with the largest crude oil reserves.Libya's earnings from hydrocarbon exports reached 95 percent in 2011,and this country is known to hold approximately 46 billion barrels ofoil, the largest oil reserves in Africa. It is ranked ninth in the worldwith regard to proven oil reserves. While Saudi Arabia'sexplorations are coming up dry, analysts suggest that Libya still haslarge amounts of undiscovered oil fields and might surprise the world'soil experts in the long run. The United States has 21 billion barrels of proven oil reserves as of 2011, a smidgen when compared to Saudi Arabia.

"Golden Rule Politics: Reclaiming the Rightful Role of Faith in Politics" challenges a political myth constructed over 25 years by the Christian Right that the Republican Party is America's moral party and the party of God's favor.
The 36-minute documentary--produced and directed by Baptist Center for Ethics Executive Director Robert Parham and EthicsDaily.com Culture Editor Cliff Vaughn--has an accompanying discussion guide for use in church, civic or home discussion groups.
Rooted in the theological conviction that God is neither a Republican nor a Democrat--and that neither party is thoroughly moral or completely immoral--the DVD explores the rightful role of faith in politics through interviews with clergy and politicians in Alabama, Missouri and Tennessee. It expands the moral agenda from the narrow list of issues prioritized by the Christian Right to the fuller expression of issues found in the Christian tradition, beginning with the biblical priority of doing justice.
"Golden Rule Politics" features interviews with pastors and faith leaders who discuss how party politics have sometimes attempted to co-opt religion and trample on the separation of church and state. It eschews the more familiar faces and shouting heads of partisan politics and instead interviews four faithful Democratic politicians in red states who know the religious and political landscape better than many.
In an online video clip from the DVD, William Buchanan, pastor of Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church in Nashville, Tenn., terms efforts to identify God with any political party a "major spiritual distortion."
"God is Spirit, which means if God is Spirit, then God is neither Democrat nor Republican," Buchanan says. "I think we have attempted to place God on one side or the other of this political battle. But if God is Republican or God is Democrat, then we have reduced God to humanity. We know humanity has its weaknesses and its frailties, and we have made God like us. If God is Republican or if God is Democrat, the world is in a major fix, because both parties have proven their vulnerabilities."
Judy Baker, a Democratic legislator in Missouri and a pastor's wife, describes her public service as extending a call to ministry that led her to earn a divinity degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
"Because I'm a Baptist minister's wife, I'm seen as quite the anomaly," she says in this clip. "I'm actually looked at with a lot of mystery. They want to know, 'How can you be both a Baptist minister's wife and a Democrat?' And I got that question over and over when I first went down to the Legislature a couple of years ago."
Baker says she still attends numerous events where she introduces herself as a Baptist minister's wife with a master's degree in divinity. "And they will say, 'Then you're a Republican?'" she says. "I'll say, 'No, I'm a Democrat.' It's just shock in the eyes of people. For some it's really difficult to make the transition."
Congressman Lincoln Davis, D-Tenn., says one reason he remains a Democrat is because of what the Bible says about concern for the poor.
"My father and mother were staunch Democrats," Davis says. "As a kid growing up I watched my mother and father literally wear a Bible out. So for me, probably one of the reasons I stay a Democrat is because of the Matthew 25 part, of what the government ought to be doing: the sick, the hungry, the naked, the thirsty, the oppressed, the homeless. I mean when you read the Scriptures you'll find over 2,000 instances and quotes where we are to reach out to the lesser amongst us and to the poor, not the wealthiest."
"When you look at how the Religious Right has used our faith and driven a wedge politically in this country, it frightens me somewhat," he says.
Between an introduction and conclusion on the rightful role of faith in politics, the video offers four chapters: Politicians Speak to Faith; Clergy Speak to Politics; Wall of Separation Protects All; and Expanding the Moral Agenda.
Politicians and clergy appearing in the DVD include:
--U.S. Congressman Artur Davis from Alabama's 7th District
--U.S. Congressman Lincoln Davis from Tennessee's 4th District
--State Representative Judy Wall Baker from Missouri's 25th District
--State Senator Roy Herron from Tennessee's 24th District
--Pastor Jim Evans of First Baptist Church, Auburn, Ala.
--Pastor John Baker of First Baptist Church, Columbia, Mo.
--Bishop Henry Parsley of the Episcopal Church of Alabama
--Pastor William Buchanan of Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church, Nashville, Tenn.
--Pastor Tim Alexander of Smith Springs Church of Christ, Antioch, Tenn.
--Associate Pastor Carol Richardson of First Baptist Church, Memphis, Tenn.
--Susan Pace Hamill, professor of law at the University of Alabama Law School
--Robert Parham, executive director of Baptist Center for Ethics, Nashville, Tenn.

Only a few pairs of the special addition shoes were made and they never made it to the stores. They cost $5,000 at Kickk Spott in Washington, D.C. on December 28, 2012. Nike has worked with Jay Z and Kanye West before on shoes, and with the brother-like relationship that Jay-Z has with LeBron James, it made sense for them to put out a special edition version of the LeBron 9, specifically for the Watch The Throne Tour. Kickk Spott is the only ultra-high end sneaker shop in the area, and the only one that does consignment as well. (Photo by Marvin Joseph/The Washington Post via Getty Images)

In the past the City of Pleasureville has had no luck in retaining a police officer. They complain there is not enough "action" in Pleasureville.

There are only three women at our Commission meetings that complain of not having an officer.

Graphic Designer Wages
- May 10th, 2014
- Write comment
Graphic Design/Graphic Art have historically been know to be considered good careers, with competitive wages. But in recent times, with the advent of private trade schools popping up everywhere, designers today are encountering a situation where there lies market saturation.
As these private schools churn out more and more degreed Graphic Designers we see a phenomenon of market saturation that drives down the wages for that particular market. The situation can be harrowing to say the least. Take for instance the Albuquerque, NM market. New Mexico has long been known for low wages, income inequality, poverty, etc.
Back when I was still in school, the school we attended give job postings to their favorite students. The ones they deemed suitable. But often these jobs working for sign shops or printers offered little more than $7-$8 per hour. The problem with this situation as more and more "wet behind the ears" junior designer take these low paying jobs, it drives down the wages for the whole market. It creates a transpiration where employers don't pay designer what they're worth.
The first graphic design job I took was in a small town, and I initially started at $8 per hour. After nearly five years, I had made only about $10.50 per hour. These were considered good wages for the small town I was situated in, as there really weren't any jobs that paid that much, save for a few factories on the outskirts of town. Still, $10.50 per hour was difficult and challenging. Back then I was in a situation where things were at least sustainable, but I was going nowhere fast.
I had to make a move eventually. Things in my life had changed in scope from necessity to survival, and I had to make a move. It has taken tremendous continual sacrifice, discipline, tenacity and persistence, but I can say with pretty fair certainty that I now make much higher wages than most designers in the Albuquerque, NM market. I have also expanded on my skills exponentially and grown not only as a designer, but in photography, motion graphics, video and audio.
In many cases I'm lucky, and in others I make sacrifices few others would make, but often I think about other designers out there struggling with low income and dignity. I learned when I left my first graphic design job that I was actually the highest paid designer. And with the corporate attrition model they never replaced my position. I assumed they would have given my former coworker a pay bump since my position no longer existed. To this day, that poor girl has NOT seen a raise, and was making less than me to begin with. It is very sad.
True story; One evening, someone made a phone call to Dominion Graphics. This happens from time-to-time, as years ago I let those third rate phone book companies list me. I get lots of requests from business cards to photo touch up, signs, etc. But that one evening that one phone call was different. It was from a young woman, calling on behalf of her husband. It seems he had been out of work, as a Graphic Designer, and she found my listing, and called in the hopes that I was hiring. Sadly, I was not, and explained to her the then model Dominion Graphics was operating on; cottage industry.
Our conversation took on another tone, the young woman was drunk, and ranting about what hard times her and her husband had fallen on, and how bleak things were for Graphic Designers. Her poor husband had even attended the same school as I, and owed lots of money in Student Loans. In a bizarre twist this young, married woman began flirting with me. I had to let her off the phone, but after hanging up I found myself reflective of how hard and harrowing times are for many people in this country, and in these times.
That former coworker of mine was recently diagnosed with MS. In her early 30s no less. And that former workplace of mine had been reduced to only one person doing what three of us had once done. My heart goes out to those who struggle continually to make ends meet. We designers should make better efforts to be better advocates of one-another, instead of corporate-conditioned competitors, driving eachother's wages down, stepping on heads to climb to the top, or manuevering around ingeniously and kissing up to Executive Staff. We ought to advocate for one-another, this is our livelihood.

Two weeks have passed since Rusty Purser made the official announcement he was stepping down as the Borger Athletic Director and Head Football Coach in order to take the same positions at Taylor ISD near Austin.
During that time, Borger ISD Superintendent Chance Welch said as of Thursday, May 3rd, the school district had received around 45 applicants expressing interest in the Borger AD and Head Football positions, with interviews tentatively to start taking place next week starting on Monday, May 14th.
On Friday, West Texas High junior Nathan Forrest took 11th place in the Class 1A Boys State Golf Tournament held at the Lion's Golf Course in Austin.

On Saturday, the Frank Phillips College Plainsmen baseball team wrapped up the 2012 season with a pair of losses to the #9 Howard College Red Hawks 11-1 and 10-0.
In game one on Saturday, Howard's Clayton Crum had a good outing on the pitcher's mound by getting the win and limiting the Plainsmen to two hits. At the plate, Howard scored at least one run in every inning.
Chance Harlen had a double for the Plainsmen, while Andrew Landin drove in the lone Plainsmen run.
Zach Johnson got the loss on the mound for the Plainsmen.
West Texas High was in a must win situation Friday afternoon in Canyon.
Facing Lockney for game two of a best of three series, the Comanches played a much better game than the first one, but they fell a little short, losing 10-8 and bowing out of the baseball postseason.
Errors still plagued the Tribe as they were charged with seven. The team played on turf, which could have caused some of the problems.
Jess Shields pitched 3 and 1/2 innings and had 3 strike outs, walked 1, and allowed 8 runs, just one was earned.
LEVELLAND-On Friday evening, the Levelland Lobos scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to pull ahead for the 5-3 win over the Borger Bulldogs in the 3A Bi-District Playoff Round.
The win on Friday allowed the Lobos to win the Bi-District series two games to none, after defeating the Bulldogs 16-5 on Thursday evening in Borger.
After seeing game one slip away in the sixth inning on Thursday, the Bulldogs came out focused and put together a better performance on Friday.
On Thursday evening, the Levelland Lobos took advantage of seven walks leading to 10 runs in the sixth inning, on their way to defeating the Borger Bulldogs 16-5 in game one of the 3A Bi-District Playoff best-of-three series.
Control issues plagued the Bulldog pitchers all evening as three pitchers combined to give up 12 walks and hit three batters through six innings of work.
Despite control issues and four errors, the Bulldogs were in position to get a late inning win by only trailing by one run, 5-6, after the fifth inning.
West Texas High took on the Lockney Longhorns Thursday night at West Texas A&M in game one of the best two out of three series. Things did not go the way of the Comanches as they committed 5 errors, left eight base runners stranded, and their hitters struck out 11 times, in a 13-2 loss. Carlos Juarez was the losing pitcher for WT. Juarez is WT's go to pitcher but he left the game in the middle of the third inning. Juarez allowed 10 runs, six of them unearned. He struck out three batters. Alex Ramirez pitched one and a half innings. He allowed three runs and struck out two.
The Frank Phillips College Lady Plainsmen Women's Basketball team has signed Sharley Hale, a 6-0 forward from Amarillo Highland Park.
On why she picked Frank Phillips College, Hale commented, "The reason that I have chosen Frank Phillips is because it's very close to home. The coach and the girls were very welcoming and heart warming." Hale added, "When I first began playing basketball, I always had this dream in the back of mind to go play basketball at Frank Phillips. Now that I have signed my letter of intent I can officially say that I have fulfilled that dream in life."
Frank Phillips College Men's Head Basketball Coach Chris Hackett will be hosting a boy's basketball camp on Tuesday, May 29th through Friday, June 1st at the BCAC. The camp is open to boys ages 7-17 and is scheduled to run from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. each day.
In the camp, Hackett and the FPC Coaching Staff will focus on fundamentals including shooting, passing, dribbling, rebounding, defense, and individual offense. The camp will also feature 1-on-1, 3-on-3, and 5-on-5 leagues, daily competitions, and camp prizes and certificates.
On Thursday evening, the Borger Bulldogs (9-13) will have the rare luxury of opening up the playoffs on their home field when they take on the Levelland Lobos (21-7) in game one of a best-of-three series in the 3A Bi-District Playoff Round.
The Bulldogs and Lobos are not complete strangers on the baseball diamond, as the two teams were district foes prior to the last realignment back in 2009 and 2010.

While fighting game fans have had a frenzy of activity as of late with franchises like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat making strong comebacks, the lesser known (but almost equally beloved) Darkstalkers franchise has had a tough go of it. Well, it appears that after the latest lackluster resurrection of the franchise, the Darkstalkers series will be sitting out more than a few rounds.
This according to a post on Siliconera where Capcom's Matt Dahlgren spoke during Comic-Con about the company's view on the latest release, Darkstalkers Resurrection, and how that has impacted the current plans for the franchise.
"Darkstalkers Resurrection did not perform as well as we would have liked to perform," said Dahlgren. As a result, ""There is nothing Darkstalkers on the immediate horizon for sure."
Does this news come as a disappointment to the Darkstalkers fans amongst you or do you agree that Capcom needs to take some additional time off from the franchise to figure out what will make it special again?

Rioting erupted on Saturday evening after a peaceful protest against the fatal shooting of local man Mark Duggan turned violent. Cars and buildings were set alight in the trouble, which spread to other parts of the capital last night.
The music retailer confirmed that stores in Wood Green and Enfield were targeted by looters - but that no staff were harmed, as the shops were both closed at the time.
In a statement, an HMV spokesperson said that HMV had now secured both sites and was currently assessing the full extent of the damage to fixtures and fittings.
And they added that levels of stock loss appeared to be extensive.
"Whilst its on-site teams are working hard to normalise matters as quickly as possible, it is likely that it will take a number of days before the stores are in a position to re-open. In the meantime HMV trusts that customers will understand, and apologises for the inconvenience this may cause," they added.

What Is The Best Snowmobile In 'GNA Country [POLL]
As the snow continues to fall and the accumulations are climbing a ton of snowmobilers are getting ready for a big weekend!
As the snow continues to fall and the accumulations are climbing a ton of snowmobilers are getting ready for a big weekend!
Some people are calling it Nemo but most people are calling it a blizzard, which is what it is. Many cities in the Albany area have snow emergency policies for snow removal, so check our list to make sure you don't get towed or violate the emergency order!
Instead of stressing over the white stuff which is piling up. Sometimes it is nice to have a little fun to de-stress before you go out for another round of shoveling or snow blowing.
TGIF people! It's Friday, in case you somehow lost track of time and forgot that it is the best day of the week. I'm home with the kids today, but don't think that means I'm not surfin' the web and finding links to share with you. Here's what I've got for you today:
Have you heard we're getting a storm? We haven't had much winter in the past two years so any storm delivering any amount of snowfall gets people all excited. We're expecting a pretty big storm though and many schools decided to close ahead of the storm. Our list of closings is continually updated as is our real time weather.
A major winter storm is ready to pound the Northeast. A blizzard watch is actually posted for Eastern New England with predictions of 8-14 inches expected for the Albany area on February 8, 2013.
I hear people around Albany and Glens Falls talk about running to the grocery store before a big snow storm and stocking up and they always get the same stuff. It makes no sense.
We've had plenty of snow for people to build snowmen this year, but this one listener really got creative!
This morning when I hopped in the car for the ride down from Glens Falls for the morning show on 1077 'GNA I had 6 inches of the white stuff and the snow was still falling , but lightly.
As everyone prepares for the First Winter Storm of the 2012/2013 season, Steve Caporizzo has provided some more updates for Wednesday, December 26, 2012.
I have been waiting for this, and it is finally going to happen! Some actual real snowfall in the Albany area and beyond.
My wish for snow still goes unanswered. Yesterday and continuing into today Central New York is getting a white Christmas.

An action/adventure game taking ques from both film-noir and samurai-drama's of old, "samurai_jazz" takes players on an adventure through an enigmatic city, engaging in realistic sword-fights, encounters with mythological beings, and quirky dialog with the local inhabitants all presented in a pseudo 8-bit format. While action remains the central focus, a bit of detective work and puzzle-solving is necessary along with the usage of twitch-reflexes while having to plan and perform strategies effectively to overcome each of the game's abstract scenarios.
Details for the release of samurai_jazz on Desura...
Posted by BlazeEpic on May 4th, 2013
Recently, samurai_jazz has been approved for publication on Desura (http://www.desura.com) and will be seeing it's full release in the very near future. While I can't pin-point a specific date at this point, it will be within the coming weeks.
The full version will be available for $2.99 (USD) and includes the full adventure not seen in the demo, along with the option for both an easy and hard mode on top of the game's normal mode.
If you would like to see samurai_jazz released on Steam, please vote for it on my Greenlight page for the game here:

The audio signal from the PC needs some form of amplification to drive the speakers.
I suggest looking into either line drivers or a marine amplifier.
And if your wife is dictating rules about your vehicle PC install, I wish you luck. Spouses and vehicle projects rarely work well together, unless all are onboard.

I think the composition and subject are spot-on. My only criticism would be ( on my monitor at least ) that the contrast may be a little strong and detail is being lost in the mushrooms highlights and the ferns shadows. Also some of the subtle tones are hard to see.
The water droplet is superb.
This is only an opinion.

fabulous picture. guess the critique about the highlights is correct, but when I opened it and looked, I just thought "wow ! fabulous !"
On my shortlist, this one
Nominating Constructive Critique
What can I say? This is just a stunningly perfect composition.
Congratulations on your first upload. I can't wait to see what else you have to share with us.
Nominating Constructive Critique
It's a very dramatic image, very well executed. The saturated colours work well but there are a few blown highlights on the fungi and the top right background. Also, some sharpening artefacts surround the fungi, but these are hardly noticeable.
I love the shaped made by the plants.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Hi Gary, and a big welcome to EPZ. What a beauty for a first upload. Composition is very good and exposure seems ok however the bright area to the right is distracting and I think overall it coukld be a tad sharper. A curves adjstment would bring out a little more detail in the fern curls and maybe calm down the overexposed areas on top of the little shrooms. All in all a lovely image well done
Nominating Constructive Critique
It's just a magical image. I agree about its little flaws, but cannot fault the composition and all those beautiful curly shapes that come together so perfectly.Last Modified By pamelajean at 15 Dec 2007 - 10:59 PM

Seminole, Florida -- The 15-year-old girl critically injured on Labor Dayin a tubing accident on Lake Seminole died of her injuries Tuesday morning.
Keswick Christian School in St. Petersburg broke the news on its Facebook page around 10:40 a.m. the following statement:
"At 9:30 this morning, Katie Yale entered eternity and the arms of her Savior. We are devastated, but grateful that though we grieve we do not grieve as those who have no hope (I Thess 4:13).
We ask you to continue to pray for the Yale family at this extremely difficult time. Be near, Lord Jesus."
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office also confirmed the news to the media.
Sources at the scene initially said one person received minor injuries when a Sea-Doo collided with a rope that was attached to a boat that had been towing someone on a raft.
However on Monday night, officials said the accident was much more serious and that 15-year old Katie Yale was critically injured, while 13-year-old Aubree Franz had minor injuries.
Investigators say it was sometime before 1:45 p.m. when Douglas Yale, 44, was driving the boat and towing Katie and Aubree on a tube. The accident happened as Ryan Godcharles, 21, collided with the tube while on a Sea-Doo.
The collision, which officials have said does not appear to be a result of alcohol, sent the girls into the water. Both girls were taken to a local hospital, where Katie died the following day.
Godcharles was not injured in the crash.

Comments about Hal Leonard Guitarist's Guide To Scales Over Chords - The Foundation of Melodic Guitar Soloing (Book/CD):
Ever wonder what Phil X is talking about when he starts mumbling about majors, minors, and pentatonic boxes? Tired of just playing other people's music? This is the book for you and i's amazing! I know quite a bit of music theory but this is the first book that i have ever seen that shows how to turn that theory into playing! I really, really love this book and, if you continued reading this review after seeing "music theory", I bet you will too!

Share this with your favorite Child.
A cartoon of the path we must travel if we are to love this life.
Man-child, Woman-child, or Child…there's a lot to learn, a lot of helpful reminders in these simple illustrations.
As Trungpa Rimpoche said, Om Grow Up Svaha is the most profound mantra of them all.
Sure: we can always be children inside–playful, present.
But life isn't just about us. Life is about something bigger and more beautiful than that. Life is about service. And it's on that path, or climb, that we'll find lasting joy.

Hello! I really really enjoy this cartoon! It is a lovely reflection of many of the stages of life we all go through or are going through or will trek through. I found the "ask, tells" in the pink changing to "listening" just delightful! As well as, "taking everything personally" changing to "understanding." Naturally, these of course have been some of my big lessons. However, I need some clarification. In the green patch up top, it states "blames self for the world." I find blame toward self or others to be an immature perspective. Please feel free to expand on this if I am missing some major point! Also, "died happy, won the war," seems to perpetuate the dichotomy of the mind: us versus them. Thoughts?
I wondered about this, too. I don't think it is expressed well. Blaming self is not a good thing. But, it may mean something like 'Peace, it starts with me.' When I look at a problem, where am I in it, what can I do? This goes from personal issues to global. There is a lot said about the incorrectness of others' thinking and doing, but where is my responsibility in it? That's my take anyway.
Hi, I really enjoy this cartoon, and… as I collaborate with a language exchange community based in the website http://www.coollanguages.org, would like to translate it into other languages, like spanish or italian that are my mother tongues… are you interested?

From organized clean-up efforts to educational outreach, the Tri-Cities area has responded to the environmental need.
"The health of our natural resources is directly connected to our quality of life," Grand Haven Convention & Visitors Bureau director Marci Cisneros said.
Cisneros is one of many people who are concerned about the river's ecosystem.
"This is why it is so important to adopt a stewardship-type approach and take a more active role in keeping the Grand River watershed a healthy functioning ecosystem," she said.
The Grand River Green Up, scheduled for June 1 this year, is the largest and most successful grassroots event of its kind.
"It has made a big difference in removing thousands of pounds trash and recyclable items each year," Cisneros said.
Elaine Sterrett Isely, a director with the West Michigan Environmental Action Council, said her group and others, such as Clean-up Our River Environment (C.O.R.E.), aid in improving the river environment.
"They've done a lot of work in the last several years looking at pharmaceutical collection," she said.
Kaye Nedderman, president of C.O.R.E., said that collecting unused prescriptions is a necessary effort.
