Testimony :: Hon. Christopher H. Smith
Chairman - Helsinki Commission
Opening Statement
The Honorable Christopher H. Smith, Chairman
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
July 19, 2000
Briefing on
"Religious Liberty: The Legal Framework in Selected OSCE Countries"
I am honored to open today's briefing alongside the Librarian of Congress, Dr. James Billington, as I believe the report being released today represents an extraordinary effort by researchers at the Library and within the American Law Division of the Congressional Research Service to outline the treatment of religious groups by a representative sample of countries which have signed onto the Helsinki Final Act and are participating States of the OSCE.
The OSCE participating States have committed to ensure that their laws, regulations, practices and policies conform with their obligation under international law and are brought into harmony with the provisions of the Declaration on Principles and other OSCE commitments.
In keeping with its mandate to monitor these commitments and in light of the longstanding concerns over the status of religious liberty in the OSCE region, the Helsinki Commission requested through the Congressional Research Service that a study be conducted of legal systems in various OSCE States and the effect of these laws on religious liberty. We know of no other repository of such legal detail and focused analysis of laws.
Twelve countries, including the United States, were selected for their diverse geographical, historical, and religious characteristics. The views expressed in the report represent the views of the individual researchers and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Helsinki Commission, the Congress, or any individual Commissioner. It is our hope that this two-year project will be a resource for governments, academics and religious groups in fostering a better understanding of the legal framework for religious liberty, and in encouraging countries where restrictions exist to amend or abolish their restrictive laws and practices, bringing them into conformity with their OSCE commitments.
The issues raised in the report are timely. For instance, last month, the lower house of the French parliament passed a law creating a new crime of "mental manipulation" and establishing civil and criminal penalties for activities by religious or philosophical groups that government officials deem unacceptable. This is the latest French parliamentary action to threaten the religious liberty of French citizens. I have urged the French Parliament to abandon this course of action. Regarding Greece, the Helsinki Commission and minority religious groups have been critical of Greece's policy of listing religion on national identity cards because it left minority religious groups in Greece vulnerable there and wherever else they may travel on that card in the European Union. I commend the Greek Government's decision to abandon that policy in May. In Turkey, various raids on Protestant groups over the last year and the continuing conflict over the closure of the Greek Orthodox seminary on the island of Halki indicate serious issues of religious discrimination in that country.
The ramifications for these laws and governmental polices are broad, affecting people throughout the OSCE region. For instance, Austria's restrictive law passed in December 1997 is often referenced as justification for other OSCE countries -- Russia, Uzbekistan, Romania, Ukraine and Belarus -- to have restrictive laws. French polices are reportedly having an influence in former French colonies, well beyond the OSCE region. A negative precedent is being established, in contravention to international religious liberty commitments.
I am pleased to be joined by my good friend, The Honorable James Billington, with whom I traveled to Moscow two years ago to discuss the 1997 religion law with Russian Government officials. I appreciated his insights during that trip and look forward very much to his participation in this briefing. I welcome Mr. David Sale, Director of Legal Research in the Law Library, who shepherded the report through its critical final stages; Wayne Merry of the American Foreign Policy Council who will comment on the report Library of Congress. I thank the staff of the Law Library and the Congressional Research Service for their work on this project and look forward to comments from a number of the researchers as well.

Districts submit teacher evaluation plans
Oceanside APPR accepted, Island Park making adjustments
1 2 Next page >
Both the Oceanside and Island Park school districts were among a fraction of the total school districts in the state that submitted their teacher evaluation plans on time. And while Island Park's plan was sent back for minor changes, Oceanside's was accepted by the state.
Of the 700 school districts in New York State, only 300 or so actually submitted teacher evaluation plans. About half of the plans submitted were accepted by the state.
"I'm very pleased," said Oceanside Superintendent Dr. Herb Brown. "We worked hard with the teacher's union and the principal's union, because this is not just for teachers. It's an evaluation of principals, too."
The teacher evaluations, also know as the Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) were mandated by New York as part of its new curriculum program, the Core Curriculum Standards (CCS). The new education mandates were implemented to make New York be in compliance with President Obama's Race to the Top initiative, which awarded states with millions of dollars in grants for implementing education reforms.
Both Oceanside and Island Park submitted their APPR plans by July 1, which the state said was the deadline. The plans have to be given final approval by the state by Jan. 17, 2013. But the state never outlined penalties for districts that didn't submit their plans on time, just penalties if the plans were not approved by Jan. 17.
According to Dr. Brown, Oceanside was contacted by the state after its plan was submitted and told to make a few minor changes. "It was more for changing the language," Brown said. "The heart of it was fine. So it was easy for us. Other people might have other issues where it's more substantial and they have to go back to their union and renegotiate something."
Under Oceanside's APPR, teachers are graded on a 100-point scale. New York State gives the district a score out of 25 points for each teacher based on their students' performance on standardized tests. The district bases 60 points on classroom observation and the final 15 points is based on a collaborative effort by teachers.

Testimony :: Statement of Hon. Ben Nighthorse Campbell
Co-Chairman - Helsinki Commission
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Promoting and Protecting Democracy in Montenegro
Tuesday, February 1, 2000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate your calling this hearing on the important issue of protecting democracy in
Throughout the 1990s, the American public was confronted with the human tragedy associated with the virtual
disintegration of Yugoslavia. In Croatia, Bosnia and last year in Kosovo, the media brought home images of
literally millions of refugees, of concentration camps, of rape and torture victims. Each time we see these images,
we are confronted with the difficult question of what to do in response.
Coddling a ruthless dictator -- who is now an indicted war criminal - ultimately led to more deaths, displacement
and crimes against humanity. Many have been torn between sympathy for these innocent victims of brutality, and
concern over the enormity of the effort it takes to stop those responsible for such heinous acts. In Bosnia and
Kosovo, that effort included putting thousands of American men and women in harm's way, both to make peace
and then to keep it.
I had the opportunity to meet with some of our men and women in uniform who are serving in Kosovo when I
visited the region last year and again just a few weeks ago. Many of our soldiers are being asked to perform jobs
that have nothing to do with military action, but may be helpful in restoring order and the rule of law. While I may
not agree with certain aspects of their mission, it is important that we support our troops when they are at risk in
foreign lands.
Against this backdrop, common sense makes clear that timely efforts to prevent the outbreak of conflict are worth
pursuing. We are fortunate today that we can focus on developments in Montenegro where the prospects for
democracy offer one of the few glimmers of hope in a region torn by conflict and ethnic hatreds.
Almost 25 years ago, the Helsinki Final Act laid out the premise that respect for human rights and fundamental
freedoms are essential for true peace. Montenegro seems, in recent years, to have chosen that path, yet it is in the
precarious position of being part of a larger Yugoslav federation in which human rights are violated and
democratic developments are ruthlessly crushed.
Today's hearing offers an important opportunity to explore the possibilities of averting yet another costly and
protracted conflict in the Balkans. I look forward to hearing from our three distinguished witnesses about the
current situation and the prospects for democracy in Montenegro as well as in Serbia.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Does seeding make sense?
Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/9/2010 9:20 AM ESTJust looking at the d1 boys soccer tourney, for games through Nov. 8, the lower-seeded team has won 14 of 24 contests. It's particularly notable at this stage, since as the tourney progresses, there are probably fewer matches between teams with widely divergent seeds.
In what should be the least competitive matches, the 14 matches in which the difference in seeds was 9 or more, the lower seed has won 50% of the time. When the difference in seeds has been 7 or less, the lower-seeded team has won 70% of the time.
There has to be a better way.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/9/2010 9:30 AM ESTIt happens in every sport. Every league is different, some are incredibly strong from top to bottom and have middle of the pack or near last place teams that are significantly stronger than the top team from another division. The team from the stronger league has the lower seed becuase they won fewer games but were playing much stiffer competition. The team from the weaker league has a better record/win percentage but has their wins over teams that wouldn't be able to compete against the middle/lower seed from the stronger division.
Other than completely re-aligning the leagues based on say competitiveness of the programs instead of geography, what is the solution? Even that would only work for so many years, as every few years you have a swing from one league to the other depending on the athletes from that area in that time frame. It's a difficult task they have and they definately aren't doing it right now in a way that makes any sense, but what are the options?
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/9/2010 11:17 AM ESTSeeding matters in that there are often times when you get the 10 strongest teams from a division having to knock each other out in the early rounds. You then end up with lopsided games in the semi's and finals, which does neither team any good. The team from the stronger league that survived the early rounds against tough opponents smokes the team that got through the tournament playing creampuff opponents. Strength of schedule needs to be factored in if they're ever going to get the seedings "right", it can't just be win/loss percentage and achieve the most competitive bracket from prelimary round through finals.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/9/2010 12:22 PM EST
Some purposes of school athletics might be to set examples for competitiveness and fairness, and develop ability.
An improvement might be to require at least as many wins as losses in D1 games to qualify. Then base seeding on total points in D1 games, using 3 points per win and 1 per tie, following global practice in the sport.
The effects would include 1) fewer teams would qualify, which is OK considering about 2/3 qualify now; 2) the mis-seeding of teams for the reasons you've explained would be reduced, resulting in fewer blowouts and "surprises", and 3) schools would be encouraged to play as competitive a schedule as possible.
There would still be the need to win it on the field, there would still be upsets and unexpected championship runs, etc., but these would be 2 relatively simple changes that would improve the process.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/9/2010 1:52 PM ESTThey seem to be able to do it with the Super 8 hockey tournament, hopefully someday they can figure it out. Acton-Boxboro has potentially a very unfair road.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/9/2010 2:07 PM ESTI really don't think it is that big of a deal and I think it would be next to impossible to seed them with any kind of accuracy. Lets take Oliver Ames and Braintree for example. There is little doubt in my mind that those two teams are better then East Boston and Madison Park. But in what world is anyone going to say that 500 teams should be seeded higher then teams with 0 or 1 loss? Thats just not going to happen. No matter the seeding there are going to be teams like Acton-Boxboro with a tougher road then most. I would love to get a seeding system based on subjective standards, but I just don't think its practical.
Alex, I think the Super 8 has its own issues not to mention hockey is a little different because the Catholic schools are so much stronger then the public schools which isn't necessarily the case in soccer.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/9/2010 9:40 PM ESTGo back to the 22 point system from the 80's and 90's. 18 points to get into the tourney is too low. There is no reason to have 25 teams in a section, it rewards mediocrity. If a team from the North or South that has played a prelim happens to make the Finals, it will be their 7th game in 14 days. It will be the West's representative's 5th game. Ridiculous. Don't focus on the seeding, focus on the equality of the brackets/sections. That is alot more easily remedied.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/10/2010 10:24 AM EST
For D1 boys in EMass, now that quarterfinals are set, you can see that the current "seeding" only identified 6 of the remaining 16 teams. Such a system should be able to average more like 12/16. It doesn't require a subjective selection process, just one that focuses on results in D1 games. That's not hard to put in place. It's transparent. It doesn't mean schools have to change leagues or won't make the tournament, it just means that those whose leagues include a lot of smaller schools will be seeded lower than now. It would show that a team like Mansfield, "seeded" 20th but winner of 2 "upsets", should have been viewed as a favorite in both so far. Only 3 South teams had more D1 wins than Mansfield.
If there's no inclination to improve seeding, then scrap it, and go with the suggestion to pair up teams from different leagues, but geographically close. This would boost attendance, which is always nice for the kids, and should be a plus from the MIAA perspective.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/10/2010 1:49 PM ESTBasically the rule is that if you have a .500 record in your division you get into the tournment, Teams just need to get in. Smarter coaches schedule tough games outside their div and league in order to get battle tested for the tourny even it lowers their seed.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/10/2010 2:21 PM ESTI'm not sure, I disagree and think seeding makes a huge difference. If you looked at A-B's potential road, St. John's Prep, Masconomet, Lincoln-Sudbury, Lexington vs. 17 seeded Somerville(Hyde Park, Madison Park and now Medford before moving on to L-S and Lexington). A-B has two much tougher opponents than Somerville did, even though A-B had a higher seed.
I bet I could do it in under 2 hours. Take the best 16 teams out of each section N and S, D-1, D-2 and D-3. Rank them accordingly, come up with some RPI-like system. The funny part is although this would be a much fairer system, you would probably get more people complaining.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/10/2010 2:24 PM ESTAnd honestly, if I was Baumritter or whatever the A-B coach's last name is, I would be pretty upset.
3 losses, 2 against L-S and the other to SJP. They did go out and beat Algonquin and tied Concord-Carlisle. Doesn't seem like justice to me.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/10/2010 3:30 PM ESTThe current way using winning % is the only fair way to do it. Can you imagine the MIAA trying to decide the seeds based on records, strenghth of schedule, etc. would take a semester to do. They would think their the NCAA basketball committee.
If your going to win it all, you should be able to beat everyone and anyone.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/10/2010 6:27 PM ESTYou're entitled to your opinion, we'll just have to agree to disagree. However, I did agree with your statement there would be a lot more complaining.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/10/2010 7:18 PM ESTWhere did the grousing about the seeding come from: a strong team out of a tough league complaining about a low seed or a humiliated high seed with a great record, from a weak league - who cares? If you win, you're still in. If not, you go home (hopefully with grace and dignity) just like every other team. Seeding, as we all know, doesn't mean squat on the field. Winning's the coin of the realm.
Re: Does seeding make sense?

Cheap shot and Red Card at the end of a 4-0 beating by Sandwich.
Their fans cheering the cheap shot artist (17) as he left the field.
They barely got the ball over midfield. Their league must be weak. They had nothing.
Without the fine play of their goalie it would have been 10-0.
Re: Does seeding make sense?
posted at 11/10/2010 8:45 PM ESTTo answer the topic question, no not really. But is there a fairer way to seed it? Yes but it would probably become less fair than the system that is in place now ex. teams from lower leagues wouldnt be able to prove themselves if they were cut from the bracket. Lets also remember the MIAA isnt the BCS it wouldnt be very easy to 'rank' the qualifying teams from each league only knowing 1) their record and 2) the relative strength of the league, the latter being more controversial imo. The league I know best is the NEC. The games are certainly not the prettiest to watch and some of the teams arent too great, but it does have some teams that CAN compete with the very best playing THEIR style. It would be biased to say that one league is inferior to another based on how they play and how many club players there are in a given league. I also think if the conferences were 'ranked' too much emphasis would be put on history rather than the quality of the teams that given season. Using the example of the NEC again, the quality of the league fluctuates pretty significantly imo, and im sure this is true with other leagues. If there was actually a way to rank the leagues EACH season I'd be for it but I seriously doubt it would be possible. Is the system in place perfect? No, but it good enough imo given the resources and lets not make changes that will cause injustices in different ways.

Agreed. It was an unfortunate incident. Their fans (student ones) showed very little class. I was told to "blank off" as I was waiting for one of them to pull out of a parking spot. How proud the parents must be.

Anyone know what's the problem source or does there any exist bug indicated such problem? I have to say, the users with Manager privilege (even the original person who share the notebook) on the root notebook with the same result~ (We only shared the root notebook and the sub-notebook automatically inherit the sharing properties from the root notebook.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- A 10-year-old boy is relieved to be ok after he watched robbers steal his game consoles while hiding under the bed.
Christopher King was home alone at the time. He called police and hid under his bed after he heard class shattering downstairs in the middle of the day Friday.
"I was so scared I wanted to just burst out crying," King said. "But I was like 'Chris just calm down, stay cool and collected.'"
While King spoke with the dispatcher, the two men were making their way up to his room. He said he watched their feet as they moved around packing.
"I honestly thought they were going to look down and see me," King said.
When officers arrived they arrested one suspect, 19-year-old D'andrew Greene. They quickly found the electronic equipment that was taken. Police said the remaining suspect is at large, and King was happy to see his father come home a few minutes later.
"I came downstairs crying and gave him a big huge hug and it was over," King said. "I was so happy that everything was over and I was safe and everything's fine."

Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Brodie, who was best known for his extensive World Cup coverage, passed away last week at the age of 86.Manchester United legend Harry Gregg, ex-NI international goalkeeper Pat Jennings, FIFA vice president Jim Boyce, blind waterskiing champion Janet Gray and Olympics legend Dame Mary Peters were among the high profile mourners at Cregagh Presbyterian Church in east Belfast. Dame Mary recalled how he was instrumental in the creation of the track bearing her name.While working at the Belfast Telegraph, he began a campaign to honour Mary for her Olympic achievements.They shared another dream, she told the congregation, which was the creation of a sports museum in Northern Ireland to honour past heroes and heroines and to inspire future generations."We, the committee, are determined that that will happen," she said, revealing that a library will now be created at the museum, in Malcolm Brodie's memory, inspired by his love of books."She added: "He was a unique man. He inspired so many generations. To know him was to love him."Sport and football was our kingdom and Malcolm was our king.Jim GraceyBelfast Telegraph's Sports Editor Jim Gracey said: "He was sharp, incisive, fiercely competitive, unerringly accurate and his credibility was beyond question."The much respected journalist reported on 14 World Cup finals since he began covering the global sporting event in 1954 - more than any other journalist - and was awarded the Jules Rimet Trophy by FIFA for his efforts.He also never missed a Northern Ireland match - home or away - from 1946 to 2009.Originally from Scotland, Brodie was evacuated during the Second World War from Glasgow to Portadown, Co Armagh, where he began his career in journalism.He joined the Belfast Telegraph in 1943 when he saw a vacancy for a copy taker advertised and later, set up the paper's first sports desk before becoming Sports Editor.His services to journalism were recognised down through the years with numerous awards, including an MBE.His three sons and granddaughter sat beside his widow Margaret during the funeral service, which was followed by a private committal at Roselawn Crematorium. © UTV Share Share Share

A Sweet Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Wanna protect your dome? Wanna protect it in style too? Well here it is, great overall helmet, Iv taken a few falls and its kept my brain in pretty good order. Its pretty light, and after a whole summer of riding doesn't smell either.
Popular helmet for a reason
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a very popular helmet. Your helmet should fit your head. Not all helmets fit the same. For me, and many other people, this helmet is very comfortable and relatively light. It breathes well. Fair price for a really good helmet.
The only real complaint that my friends have made comes from those who wear a Leatt brand neck brace and feel the Remedy doesn't fit with the Leatt as well as Troy Lee and some other brands.
I personally would buy this helmet again and recommend it.

Great for DH Skateboarding
I use this for Donwhill Longboarding. I haven't crashed in it yet, nor has it taken any impacts, but it seems sturdy enough. I had Giro halfshell that kept the back of my head intact in a 35 mph crash on asphalt, and the Remedy has significantly thicker foam so it should be very good protection in a crash. It fits nicely. My head is 57 cm and it fits perfectly. One of the reasons i picked this helmet was the shape of the back. It does not come straight down the back of the head but is angled inward at the base of the neck. This enables better head position when in tuck than other helmets i have tried. The visibility is excellent. FOV is no significantly reduced when wearing the helmet. The vent in the face guard also allows for some vision so that you can glance down at your feet/board without necessarliy having to move your entire head. It is also very light. Lastly, some might not like the clip style chin strap fastener, however, I find it very much preferable to a d-ring strap when wearing gloves. Sunglasses can be worn with this helmet. Buy it. Buy it now.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you are a downhiller looking for a great, light, stylish, and protective helmet then this is definently for you! i have taken lots of spills and faceplanted hard a couple of times and it was such a face saver!! must have. works awesome with goggles and keeps you cool. also extremely light. buy it and you wont regret it.
Comfy and Light
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was surprised when I received this helmet. Backcountry's sizing chart was right on the money and this thing doesn't weight very much. Granted, it's not DOT approved and wouldn't hold up to moto use, but I think it's more than adequate for DH or urban biking. It's not even that hot! I have not tried this dome piece with goggles, but so far, with sunglasses vision is great. I would definitely recommend this helmet!
Great Helmet
Good price for a great helmet. Fits well, looks great, and does the job.
great and well ventilated helmet
Second full face that i've ever bought. well worth. recommend it to anyone!!!!
it DOT certified?

No. Not DOT certified

is this helmet multiple hit rated or after a gnarly tumble should it be retired for a new one?
Not rated for multiple gnarly hits. Inspect your helmet regularly for damage. If you are unsure, send it in to be inspected.
Good Buy
Very happy with my purchase. Good ventilation even on warm days and long rides. When I take my water breaks I take it off to ventilate and cool off my mellon further. I dont wear this with goggles but regular wrap around shades. I use mine for regular/tough XC riding and its my only helmet. It gave me a big confidence boost on the very technical rocky trails i ride here in MD.
Great design but the graphics seem more subdued than the manufacturer image.

my head is around 55 cm which size i choose??
S M L (51-55cm) (55-59cm) (59-63cm)
My head size was right on the border of medium and large. I chose the medium and the fit was perfect. The helmet should be snug but comfortable. I would try a small first.
Awesome helmet
My first full face, and has saved my face multiple times. Fits good with my SPY magnetos. Ventilations good, and it's pretty light on your head.
Great Helmet.
I bought this as my first full face helmet for MTB and I'm very happy with my purchase. It's an awesome helmet and it's totally saved me from getting multiple concussions. My friend also uses the Remedy and I watched him basically land on his head and almost cracked the helmet and he was completely fine. The only thing is that it is a little wide but I'm ok with that. It's still smaller than your typical Moto Helmet and it passes ALL saftey standards for DH. Also my Oakly Crowbars and Oakley Mayham goggles fit perfectly with them.
Giro Bucket
Fits rather snug (I am in the middle for a medium for the sizing guide) so if you are towards the upper end be careful. Graphics are ok especially considering the price.
protected my head
my head size is around 58-59 so I was right on the border of M or L size. I went with a M and it was too tight. Returned it for an L and it was looser but not too jiggly. the remedy protected my noggin from a major crash that cracked it but not my skull. I had a concussion, pulled my shoulder, and apparently knocked out for a bit. whee! good helmet. a bit heavy but I'd carry the weight if I know the protection is there.
Are these helmets good for atv/dirt bike...
Are these helmets good for atv/dirt bike riding?
Not really.... the helmets on hucknroll are almost always bike specific and are made with different materials and have different ratings, qualifications, etc.
I recommend checking out the link below for good Motor Sports helmets made by a brand that also makes biking helmets. SixSixOne also has some good helmets that qualify for both powered and non powers biking/atving.
Yes these are good helmets for atv/dirt biking, because they are light weight but still offer protection with ventilation. MX and Avt helmets offer more padding inside the helmet are a little heavier but will withstand a harder fall than a mountain bike helmet will.
There's a reason why these are for MTB and not ATV. They are lighter and offer less protection than a Moto or ATV helmet would. Giro does make ATV helmets but this is not one of them.

Item # DED0013
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Drop Handlebars in stock than that.View Similar Products
Deda Elementi Zero 100 Bars - 31.7mm $0.00
Deda Elementi developed its Zero 100 Bars with a heat-treated, triple-butted 7075 aluminum construction in order to combine the ultimate in strength with a low overall weight. The bars incorporate many of the same advanced technologies as Deda's top-end carbon models, albeit at a far more manageable price.
The Zero 100 Bars were designed using Deda's Rapid Hand Movement (RHM) platform. Compared to traditional drop bars, the Zero 100s have a fairly shallow drop and a shortened reach. This variable radius bend shaping makes changes in hand positions much quicker and smoother than traditional, deep drop bars. The RHM shape also provides a comfortable perch while on the hoods, as the natural bends provide a seamless transition from the bars to the hood bodies.
Like all Deda road bars, the Zero 100s accept aero bars on the center section. Deda measures the clamp area of its bars as 31.7mm, which is essentially identical to other manufacturers' 31.8mm (save manufacturing tolerances). Deda takes the metric fraction 31.75mm and rounds down, while other manufactures take this same fraction and round up.
The Deda Elementi Zero 100 features 128mm of drop and 75mm of reach. Both are measured outside-to-outside. The bars are available in sizes 40, 42, 44, and 46cm and in the colors Black, Matte White, and White. The weight of the bars is roughly 250g.

Seminary Receives Estate Gift for Pastoral Care and Counseling Program
Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary has received a $1.4 million bequest from the estate of Cecil and Josephine Osborne. This gift, creating an endowment for Pastoral Care and Counseling, was received by the Seminary in May 2012. Further future distributions from the estate will ultimately bring the total gift to approximately $2 million.
Dr. Cecil Osborne, a renowned psychologist and author who died in March 1999, was a pastor for more than 40 years. He established several social ministries programs and started nine churches in addition to pastoring First Baptist Church in Burlingame, CA for 34 years. He also authored 13 books, among them two bestsellers –
The Art of Understanding Yourself
The Art of Understanding Your Mate
. He established Yokefellows, Inc. in 1957 and the Burlingame Counseling Center in the South San Francisco Bay Area.
Yokefellows was an organization devoted to the spiritual and emotional growth of individuals through small group counseling and Bible study. Dr. Osborne assumed full-time directorship of Yokefellows in 1970, which ultimately served 90,000 persons in churches of 30 denominations in all 50 states and 14 foreign countries.
Cecil and Josephine were married in 1986, and lived all of their married lives in California. Josephine, who died in April 2012, was a marriage and family counselor originally from England.
"The Osbornes spent many years ministering together," said Victor Vanloo, Director of Development. "This gift will extend that partnership in ministry beyond their lifetimes, and we hope it motivates others to think about what kind of legacy they can offer."
"We are grateful for the Osbornes' vision for a counseling program and for creating an estate plan to fulfill their dream," said Dr. Jeff Iorg, Seminary President, explaining that the Osbornes gave over 90% of their estate to Christian causes, with most going to the Seminary. "We are pleased to see their true desire come to life through this donation."
The Seminary is currently designing a Master of Arts in Christian Counseling degree. Many of the required courses for the MACC will be available in 2012-13, and students will be admitted to the program in fall 2013.
"Students who want to begin the program immediately may take course work in the Seminary's existing counseling concentration as part of the Master of Divinity curriculum," said Dr. Michael Martin, Vice President of Academic Affairs. "Along with counseling course work, the MACC will require many of the same Bible, history, and theology courses required in the MDIV. Once the MACC launches, students can transfer into the new degree and apply hours earned under the MDIV toward receiving the MACC."

The truth about property assessments
(Page 2 of 2)
Under Suozzi, the assessment system produced errors, forcing taxpayers to overpay because those errors were not corrected before payment was demanded. The "county guarantee" forced the county, not the school districts and towns, to pay tax certiorari refunds. This meant that the county had to pay back money it never actually received. As a result, Nassau was left with approximately $1.6 billion in debt and outstanding liabilities.
After four years, the system is still far from perfect, but it has improved tremendously. Mangano has frozen assessments for four years and implemented a settlement program that has saved the county $28 million annually and reduced taxpayer liability by 93 percent. He has also repealed the county guarantee and developed a plan with the Nassau Interim Finance Authority and the County Legislature to end borrowing and pay off assumed debt.
Mangano should be applauded for his efforts, and not attacked by the liberal media. Sadly, the Suozzi campaign has also resorted to attacks on me to resuscitate his flailing campaign. In fact, in this very paper, one of Suozzi's cronies accused me of using my column as Mangano propaganda.
Then, during their debate, Suozzi claimed that I tried to use the Shinnecock Indians to bring casino gaming to the new Coliseum. That is far from the truth.
Let's not forget that the Shinnecock have been underrepresented and mistreated for far too long. Recently, the federal courts and government finally recognized them as a legitimate tribe.
Suozzi is obviously not a fan of Native Americans, and the claim that I attempted to bring them to the new Coliseum for gaming is a fabrication.
The Suozzi campaign has trouble with the truth.

Sorry Al but the assessment problem is neither Suozzi or Mangano's fault. The problem started in the fact that before properties were reassessed they were all based on 1931 home/land values. Now the problem is that if you do not challenge your assessment and your neighbor does get a reduction yours goes up to pay for his reduction, so it makes property taxes a shell game.
As to raising taxes I wish you would remember how your Buddy Tom Gullota gave away the store to the unions to get the vote, and had no plan how of how to pay for it.
As I have sad before the only way we can lower our taxes is to reduce the salaries and pensions of the Police/Teachers, but no politician would ever propose that since it would be suicide for their career.
Probably the only way to get taxes in line and fair is to get rid of the tax based on a assessed house value, but only tax the land and make the rest of the tax an income tax.
Tuesday, October 22, 2013 | Report this
Independent1 is correct. Assessment reductions/exemptions IS a shell game pitting one property owner against the other. There is plenty of blame to go around for both parties
Neither party has done anything to correct the distorted, inflated, unintended, large exemptions given clergy who own private homes. NYS Real Property Law 460 grants a $1500 exemption to clergy on private homes....in Nassau that exemption is turned into as much as over $18,000. 38 home owners in Hewlett Woodmere pay no school taxes.
Then County Assessor Levinson made a public appeal for a revision of the law in 2006 and not one State , County , or Town rep as spoken to the issue.

James was on a charter flight to Greece last weekend. Travelling with his pregnant wife. Couldn't believe the behaviour of leaving cert students on the flight. It got so out of hand that cabin crew had to stop the inflight service. The captain made an announcement asking the student to behave themselves. The woman sitting behind them started to cry she was so upset on the flight. When they got to the terminal the chaos continued. Worried about travelling back on this Flight. Falcon Travel told us that they have not been made aware of any incidents on the flight nor did the cabin crew report any safety concerns.

Mix of veterans, newcomers lead Molloy
1 2 Next page >
Molloy has qualified for the East Coast Conference women's basketball tournament in each of head coach Tim O'Hagan's seven seasons, but it's hardly a slam dunk to finish among the top six these days.
"The conference has gotten stronger every season," O'Hagan said. "We have to compete hard every night. In the end, three quality teams won't make it [the tournament.]
"We've got a fun group, and a lot of talent to build around," he added. "The younger girls are pushing the veterans, and in the end we'll be a better team because of it."
Following an 82-60 home defeat to conference rival St. Thomas Aquinas last Saturday, the Lady Lions stood at 2-4 overall and 0-2 in ECC play. Molloy was led offensively by senior Ashley Addison (12 points) and freshman Alex Hampton (10 points, four assists.)
O'Hagan said he likes the team's athleticism that allows it to run the floor as well as knock down shots in the half-court offense, but added there's work to be done on defense. The Lady Lions, who finished 11-16 last season, allowed an average of more than 80 points through the first six contests. "We're not nearly as good as we could be defensively," O'Hagan said. "That's the first thing we need to fix."
An encouraging sign came in a heartbreaking 73-72 defeat to visiting Post on Dec. 6. Molloy held standouts Monique Chance and Raven Wright-James to six and five points, respectively, but it wasn't enough. Chance had her only two baskets in crunch time, including the game-winning shot with three seconds remaining. "We took out their two best players," said O'Hagan, "but a bunch of others made plays." Senior Christina Marra (16), Hampton (13), Addison (11), and senior Ikema Ross (10) all scored in double figures in the loss.

Crash-Testing Residential Construction to Improve Strength and Safety
You've heard of the crash-test dummies used to test the safety of automobiles. Home insurance companies recently began using this concept to "crash-test" residential construction. The goal is to provide insight, feedback and concrete evidence about home construction that will help devise new disaster-proof construction practices for home building. Home insurance companies can sponsor a test chamber that simulates severe weather conditions and the effect they have on model houses. For example, tests can simulate Mother Nature's harshest weather conditions by inflicting gale-force winds, torrential rains, hail, fire and debris. The chief engineer for the Institute for Business and Home Safety, Time Reinhold, says "This is an opportunity to create demand for better construction." The IBHS lab is designed to subject model homes to simulated weather conditions typical of a Category 2 or Category 3 hurricane such as 140 mph winds produced by fans, hail created by freezing water in different size molds, fire produced by blazing embers (burning mulch hurled by fans), open gas lines and burning shrubs and trees, and rain with up to 8" per hour produced by sprinklers.
The IBHS's test facility debuted in October of 2010 with two test homes side-by-side. One was built to typical building codes used in the Midwest. The other one incorporated structural reinforcements and more durable materials. The results were impressive with the reinforced home suffering only cosmetic damage while the standard-code home collapsed in minutes.
The results were clear. It is worth investing in reinforced construction when it comes to durability and safety. For more information about cost and additional details, review this "crash-test" article.

Always apply for NM, no points so it's luck of the draw.

In your opinion what states should I start building preference for? Currently I put in for CO and WY as well as SD where I live.
Also which state should I put my wife in for to hunt down the road? She does not have preference in any state except SD.. We are talking about hunting 5-10 years from now. Probably only two states.
Thanks in advanced.
Always apply for NM, no points so it's luck of the draw.
AZ late season and you will hunt there every 5 years.
I would say it depends on what type of terrain you want to hunt as well. Also, if you will be hunting from a camp packed in or from a town. If you hunt with a bow, you can typically hunt sooner/more often than with a rifle. Colorado and Utah have OTC bull tags though some of the units can be tough to hunt or overcrowded with hunters. I agree with Wapiti about NM. There are several units you can shoot a quality bull in with pretty decent draw odds.
Nice to see another SD resident on the forum, welcome!
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.

A variety of sources of financial aid are available.
1. Department assistantships. The Department of Urban Planning offers teaching assistantships and project assistantships, awarded on the basis of academic merit and skills required for the specific position being filled. Assistantships include a full waiver of tuition and a stipend of approximately $5400 - 6000 per year, depending on the type of appointment. The total value of an assistantship, including the tuition waiver is approximately $23,000 for two years of full-time study for a Wisconsin resident and $36,500 for two years of full-time study for a non-resident. Assistantships include a work requirement, usually requiring 13 hours of work per week during the academic year. Work includes assisting faculty with teaching courses, assisting faculty with their research, and assisting the program with administrative tasks related to student life and alumni/professional relations.
2. UWM Graduate School Fellowship. The Graduate School offers a limited number of fellowships for graduate study awarded on the basis of academic merit. Graduate fellowships carry a stipend of $9,000 per year plus resident tuition waiver. Unlike an assistantship, a fellowship does not require work. The Fellowship does not provide a tuition waiver.
3. UWM Advanced Opportunity Fellowship. The Graduate School offers the Advanced Opportunity Fellowship (AOP). Approximately 40 new AOP Diversity Fellowships are awarded annually to disadvantaged members of groups underrepresented in graduate study. Underrepresented groups include, but are not limited to: a) African American; b) Latino; c) American Indian/Alaskan Native; and d) statutorily designated Southeast Asian (a person who was admitted to the U.S. after December 31, 1975, and who is either a former citizen of Laos, Vietnam, or Cambodia or whose ancestor was or is a citizen of Laos, Vietnam, or Cambodia). All awards are for full-time study. Applicants must be American citizens or permanent residents of the United States. The fellowship stipend for the 2000-2001 academic (9-month) year was $12,000 plus resident tuition waiver.
4. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Work Study Program. UWM has twice been awarded funds to support students through the HUD Community Development Work Study Program. Students in urban planning, public administration, and urban studies are eligible. Students work 20 hours per week in a community development organization, rotating through four different placements through their two years in the program. Students earn $12.50 per hour in their work study placements and receive up to $5000 per year in tuition assistance.
5. Work study. Many students support their education through pre-professional work, such as internships and part-time employment in planning agencies. Many students find that by working in a planning agency for 10 - 15 hours per week, they are able to earn $3000 - 6000 during the academic year while gaining valuable work experience in planning.

Weekend Box Office: 42 Hits A Homerun, Scary Movie 5 Strikes Out
No one really wanted Scary Movie 5. Seven years ago audiences turned out to give Scary Movie 4, what easily should have been the last one, a decent send off with a very respectable $40 million opening and a domestic total of $90 million. But some folks don't know when to let it go and audiences showed just how last decade the franshise is.

Weekend Box Office: Olympus Falls To The Croods As Admission Faces Rejection
Perhaps looking to follow up on their success with the Ice Age series of movies, Fox released the highly mediocre but also highly franchisable The Croods this weekend. The reception in theaters wasn't record breaking, but it was enough to give the movie a solid Spring Break number one debut, leaving star studded Olympus Has Fallen in the dust.

The Croods And Surprisingly Big Olympus Has Fallen Dominate Friday Box Office
Though there are pretty much no guarantees at the box office-- studios will pump hundreds of millions of dollars into films that seem like sure things and go on to be bombs-- it's hard to go wrong with an animated children's film around the season of spring break. DreamWorks Animation, which needed a hit after last fall's disappointing Rise of the Guardians , scored another this weekend with The Croods, which made $11.6 million on Friday and is on track for a $42 million weekend

The Croods Sneak Peek Has An Important Lesson About Fire Safety
Because of their own previous experiences with fire, parents have no trouble warning their children of the element's dangers.

The course allows students to study the screenplays and songwriting of a variety of film musicals from the beginning of the genre to the present. In addition to focusing on the writing of the musical film, the manner in which song assists in telling the story will be of particular interest. Working in groups, screenwriting students from Emerson will complete an outline and first act of an original screenplay, and composer/lyricist students from Berklee will write the songs that will help tell that story. The semester will culminate in a staged reading—with music—performed by acting/musical theater students from both Berklee and Emerson.
A course to be offered only when a resident artist joins the Professional Writing Division. Details including seminar title, resident artist instructor, class schedule, and enrollment approval procedures will be posted by the Professional Writing Division during the appropriate registration and check-in period.
Designed primarily for novice users of both notation software and music notation itself, but useful for all, this is a project based, hands-on, workshop type course designed to teach students immediately useful and practical applications of music software (primarily Finale) while bypassing unnecessary and complicated extra features. The curriculum and in-class activity format will have a particular emphasis on the development of skills and techniques which are immediately useful and applicable in helping students complete their assigned work in Berklee music writing courses, particularly those generally encountered by first and second year students. First-years in particular are encouraged to take the course so that they can benefit from acquiring extremely useful skills early in their Berklee career; skills which will then help them have greater success, and less frustration with notation right from the start. Additionally the curriculum of this course is designed to help students learn about the fundamentals of music through the use of notation software. This aspect will support and reinforce the curricula of harmony, theory, composition, and CWP courses in particular.
This course is about the study and application of compositional techniques of Bob Brookmeyer as demonstrated through his compositions, improvisations, and teaching methods. Students will study musical examples of Brookmeyer and other composers who have utilized his techniques. The techniques will be put into use as weekly assignments and two projects. These composition methods include melody writing, form, unconventional and organic formation of harmony, rhythmic development, and voice-leading. The application of the techniques is not specific to any single musical genre; rather, they are meant to help the composer achieve an original and organic sound.
This course teaches students how to write and produce music using an iPad through interactive and hands-on activities and projects. They learn the tools, setups, techniques, and software required to write, produce, and mix music using the iPad. Students master the ultimate portable production studio from from synthesis and sound design to electronic distribution and sharing. Key topics include sequencing using native DAWs and software synthesizers, multitrack recording acoustic instruments, and mixing/mastering on the iPad. In addition they will learn how to distribute their tracks and collaborate through the cloud.
Independent study project in the area of composition, contemporary writing and production, electronic production and design, film scoring, jazz composition, jazz/popular music theory and analysis, music production and engineering, or songwriting. The student(s) and faculty member will develop a proposal for an analytic or creative project that is not otherwise covered by existing curriculum. The proposal must be approved by the faculty member's department chair, and include specific outcomes and grading criteria.
First level of principal instrument recital preparation for performance majors.
Second level of principal instrument recital preparation for performance majors.
Taken in conjunction with ILRE-375. Includes preparation of repertoire for performances in the recital workshop.
Includes preparation of repertoire for a public performance as a leader.
Includes preparation of repertoire for the jury, which must be presented successfully in order to schedule the senior recital.
Includes preparation of repertoire for the senior recital, which is the final project for performance majors.

A New Rearend And All-Wheel Discs - Brake-DownWritten by on October 1, 2012
You may remember I mentioned a couple of months back, when I unveiled the new plans for my modified project, that I decided to use four-wheel disc brakes rather than early Ford drums. Since my plans include street use as well as lakes racing, I also wanted to incorporate an emergency brake. It just so happens that Wilwood Engineering not only manufactures a vented disc brake kit that bolts right up to an early Ford spindle, but also offers a similar setup for 8- and 9-inch Ford rearends that include an emergency brake.
Though I have an 8-inch axle, it is a Currie Enterprises item and has the bigger 9-inch bearings and housing ends, so I needed a kit for a 9-inch. Of course I forgot that the first time and had to reorder. Duh!
Wilwood makes rotors in various diameters, as well as solid, vented, and cross-drilled, but I selected the Dynalite Pro Series vented and drilled option for front and rear, after speaking with the guys at Wilwood who advised that it'd be ideal for my application. The rear rotors measure 12.19 inches in diameter, with the front coming in at 11 inches. I'll also use Wilwood master cylinders, as I'm using the company's through-firewall pedal assembly. This has a balance bar to adjust front to rear brake bias, so you'll see three cylinders used rather than two.
However, before I could install the brakes, I had to swap out the old Mercury rearend for the Currie 8-inch. It had been sitting on the floor of the shop for a couple months since picking it up from Currie, and embarrassingly, the nice bare metal surface had started to acquire surface rust. It's nothing that can't be cleaned prior to paint, however, though it doesn't look great right now. Sorry Currie!

2 The Model A spring from Speedway Motors previously mounted a Mercury rearend, so I had the hangers installed the same distance apart. I fabricated a temporary spring spreader from some all-thread and nuts, two lengths of tubing, and a couple 2-inch lengths of angle iron welded to the ends.3 The chassis has a 3-degree rake, so the spring hangers were welded 3 degrees from horizontal, meaning the shackles would be perpendicular to the hangers and the spring, with no bind.4 The pinion angle was set at 0 degrees, the same as the transmission. As there's no carburetor on my Zetec four-banger, there's no need to mount it angled down toward the rear.5 The rearend set in its final position. Prior to installing the brakes I temporarily welded the rearend housing to the chassis to keep it from moving, as the upper suspension links will likely mount to the rollcage, and that's not been made yet!6 With the rearend in the chassis, I could install the brakes. Wilwood discs and calipers will be used at each corner, with Dynalite Pro Series 12.19-inch-diameter discs at the rear. The first job was to remove the axles. Note I'd had long wheel studs installed at Currie Enterprises.7 Just one of the many options offered by Wilwood is this rear disc assembly with an integral emergency brake. It's designed for the caliper to mount vertically at the rear, but in my attempt to tuck the rear wheels in nearer the body, I had the rearend made 54 inches wide instead of 55. The extra 1/2 inch on each side would have allowed the calipers (or more specifically the flex hoses) to clear the spring hanger. Hmm …8 My initial thought was to "clock" the caliper mounts at a different location on what is essentially the backing plate. The threaded holes looked like they'd align …9 … but they didn't quite, so I re-applied thread locker and put the caliper mount back to the original location.
11 With the axles reinstalled, the Wilwood-supplied U-shaped bearing retainers were fitted before the bearings were seated. Ensure the open side faces up, and the lip faces toward the bearing.12 With the bearing seated, the bearing retainer was bolted down in the same way as a regular retainer, using the bolts in the housing flange, accessed through the end of the driveshaft.13 These rings are also supplied, and fit in the center of the disc to centrally locate it on the driveshaft.15 The caliper has to be located centrally over the disc. It's hard to see, but this one is located slightly outboard of center.16 The solution? To install one or more of the 0.032-inch shims supplied between the caliper and the mounting bracket (arrow). With the caliper centered over the disc, thread locker could now be applied to the mounting bolt threads, the bolts torque to 30 ft-lb. Wilwood advises installing safety wires to prevent the bolts from coming loose, in addition to thread locker, though as the whole car will come apart again prior to final assembly; I omitted this step for now.17 Wilwood can also supply emergency brake cables (and braided stainless hose). Here's how they hook up to the bracketry on the rear brakes. Now I just have to mount an e-brake lever, once the cage and floor are done!18 Here are all the parts for Wilwood's Dynalite Pro Series kit to fit early Ford front spindles, including aluminum hubs. The vented discs are 11-inch diameter.
20 New bearings and seals are supplied, though as I'm at the dry build stage right now, these weren't packed with grease, and in fact the seals will not be installed until final assembly.21 The discs bolt to these rotor hats using star bolts, which in turn bolt to the hub. For the same reason as no grease was used in the bearings, no thread locker was used at this time, though it's highly advised prior to road use.22 The caliper mounting bracket is actually a full circular aluminum plate, the same diameter as the brake disc, which bolts to the spindle, using hardware supplied. Our Speedway Motors steering arm replaced the upper pair of bolts though.23 One small modification I had to make was to trim the ends of the threads on the steering arm for clearance. I'm sure these discs are rarely used with this type of steering (more often Vega-style cross steering would be used), and the Speedway arm is fine when used with drum brakes. Either way, it was hardly a huge problem!24 The finished front brake install. I'm assuming basic knowledge of bearing installation, locknuts and cotter pins, and fitment of brake pads here of course! All it needs now are braided hoses and brake fittings.25 Of course, any brakes require master cylinders to make 'em work. Wilwood supplied a pair of 3/4-inch bore units for the brakes, as the pedal assembly has a balance bar, plus a 7/8-inch bore cylinder for the clutch. Each cylinder has four setup options, with one of two reservoirs either mounted on the cylinder or remotely. All fittings as hoses are included.26 With the pedal assembly mounted on the inside of the firewall, as well as to the rollcage structure, I cut three 1 1/2-inch holes in the firewall for the master cylinder pushrods to pass through. I elected to mount the smaller reservoirs on the cylinders, though they have to be removed to access the upper mounting stud.27 Here are all three master cylinders mounted to the firewall. The studs pass through the sheetmetal and locate in the pedal assembly bracket.28 Here's what it looks like on the inside of the body. You can clearly see the balance bar (arrow), which allows the bias between front and rear brakes to be easily adjusted. I still have to mount this side of the bracket. Next step, bend and install the brake lines and braided hoses and the system will be complete.

Program of Study
Almost 2,500 years ago, Plato grounded Western philosophy in the study of the good, the true, and the beautiful. While ethics, epistemology, and aesthetics have remained fundamental to the field for millennia, philosophy today encompasses subjects that the ancient Greeks would have never anticipated.
Thus, while the department's programs are firmly grounded in philosophy's past, offering courses in the traditional disciplines, there is an equally strong commitment to studies vital to the present day, including biomedical and business ethics, 20th century continental philosophy, and numerous topics of contemporary concern.
The Department of Philosophy has offered the master's degree for more than 35 years. Taught by well-qualified professors who give personal attention, it provides a solid basis for doctoral studies, or for careers in industry, government, and college teaching.
The Curriculum
The M.A. in philosophy or philosophy: applied ethics requires a minimum of 30 credits. All candidates are required to take PHI 525 Epistemology, PHI 599 Philosophical Concepts and Systems, and PHI 640 Seminar (focused on an important philosopher). Beyond these requirements, the student has the choice of either the traditional or applied ethics track and, with department approval, either the thesis or nonthesis program.
The traditional track leading to the master of arts in philosophy allows students to deepen their knowledge of the history of philosophy, major philosophers, and major philosophical disciplines such as metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics. The applied ethics track leading to the master of arts in philosophy - applied ethics offers training in the theoretical justification and practical application of moral reasoning. Students pursuing this degree may choose to concentrate their courses in business ethics, health care ethics, or a combination of both.
Click here for Master of Arts in Philosophy Guidance Sheet
Graduate Certificates
The recently redesigned graduate certificates in health care ethics and in business ethics offer an introduction to applied ethics without requiring previous exposure to coursework in philosophy. Two required courses, PHI502 History of Western Ethics, restricted to those with minimal preparation in philosophy and offering an intense but elementary overview of the history of moral philosophy, and either PHI570 Bioethics or PHI580 Business Ethics, are accompanied by carefully chosen "focused electives," to be chosen under advisement depending on one's interests and goals.
Certificate in Business Ethics
This 18-credit certificate is designed for business professionals who wish to increase their knowledge about business ethics. The certificate, which can be completed in three semesters, consists of two required philosophy courses (PHI 502 History of Western Ethics, PHI 580 Business Ethics) and three elective courses (such as WOS 530 Women in Leadership and MGT 511 Managing and Leading Organizations) selected with advisement. A complete listing of electives is available online at http://catalog.wcupa.edu/graduate/arts-sciences/philosophy/.
Certificate in Health Care Ethics
This 18-credit certificate is designed for health care professionals who wish to increase their knowledge about health care ethics. The certificate, which can be completed in three semesters, consists of two required philosophy courses (PHI 502 History of Western Ethics, PHI 570 Bioethics) and three elective courses (such as HEA 512 HIV/AIDS and NSG 521 Palliative Care) selected with advisement. A complete listing of electives is available online at http://catalog.wcupa.edu/graduate/arts-sciences/philosophy/.
The Francis Harvey Green Library provides an excellent environment for study and research. It is furnished with a variety of seating areas, including individual study carrels, faculty and graduate lounges, group studies, seminar rooms, and general reading areas. The library has a growing collection of more than one-half million volumes and subscriptions to 2,200 journals.
Admissions Requirements
