Honor Council
The Honor Council is a board made up of one chairwoman and 13 representatives. The duties of this board are: educating others on Mary Baldwin's Honor Code, investigating any possible infractions of the Honor System, and imposing sanctions based on the individual cases.
The Honor Pledge
Believing in the principles of Student Government, I pledge myself to uphold the ideals and regulations of the Mary Baldwin University community. I recognize the principles of honor and cooperation as the basis of our life together. I shall endeavor faithfully to order my life accordingly. I will not lie, cheat, steal, plagiarize, or violate my pledge of confidentiality. I will encourage others to fulfill the ideals of the Honor System and will meet my responsibility to the community by reporting incidents of Honor offenses.
Exams Dos and Don'ts
Do not bring bookbags, purses, notebooks, cell phones, computers, or cell phone/calculator combinations, any auditory devices (i.e. iPods into exam rooms). SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE: leave these items AT HOME AND in Residence Halls.
Do not take exams into the bathroom.
Do expect to see honor council representatives and proctors on duty. They will ask students to use CLASSROOMS as opposed to hallways FOR TAKING EXAMS.
DO BRING YOUR EXAM CARD — It is your ticket for taking exams.
DO take exams In the building where the exams are issued. The following areas are prohibited IN ALL BUILDINGS: faculty offices, computer labs, restrooms, elevators, and stairwells; IN ADDITION in Carpenter prohibited areas include: faculty lounge areas, hallways, and the sitting areas in the back of the halls in the faculty office area. Students must take their exam in the rooms with the appropriate color coded designations.
DO REMEMBER to respect the Mary Baldwin University honor code.
The Mary Baldwin Handbook States:
"Each student is expected to do her own work in all academic endeavors. Giving or receiving help on academic work unless allowed by the instructor is cheating and must be reported. It is the student's responsibility not to discuss a test or exam with a student who has not taken it. To avoid the possible appearance of committing honor violations, students are advised not to possess or take any materials other than writing instruments and blank paper into any room where a closed book test or examination is being given or possess or take any materials not specifically permitted by the instructor into any room where an open book test or examination is being given. Books and study materials should be left in the Students room or outside the room where the test or examination is to take place."
The Honor Council Board wishes you the best of luck on all your exams
Honor Codes
Lying — Any misrepresentation of the facts, as the student knows them, including verbal, non-verbal, and written forms of communication.
Cheating — When students give or receive help on academic work unless the professor has stated that students may do so. Discussing what materials appear on a test or exam are also forms of cheating.
Stealing — When a student takes or uses another's property without the permission of the owner. This includes the personal property of students or professors, the unauthorized use of copyrighted material, and the unauthorized use of school property.
Plagiarism — When a student uses someone else's work without giving credit to the original person by citing the source of that information.
Breach of Confidentiality — When any members of the college disclose details about alleged offenses both Honor and Judicial. Any information discussed during Honor Council and Judicial Board meetings, and in emails is confidential, including the existence of said meetings. If you would like to discuss your case with somebody you may contact the Honor Council Representative involved in your case, the Honor Council Chairwoman, a Student Advocate, and a faculty advisor.
If you witness another student violating an Honor offense please fill out a contact report. Remember all information, including your name, will remain confidential.
Honor Council Procedures
- All cases, self-referral: If a student realizes that she has committed an honor offense, she must report herself to an Honor Council member or to the chairwoman. If a member of the college community who believes she may have committed an honor offense confronts a student, she has the option of clarifying the matter as much as possible. If she is requested or required to report an apparent infraction to the Honor Council, she should consult the chairwoman or an Honor Council member immediately. Her consultation does not constitute an admission of guilt, but represents an honest attempt again to clarify the matter. Any such consultation is completely confidential. The fact of such a consultation will weigh favorably in subsequent considerations of the chairwoman and the Council.
- Cases of lying, cheating, plagiarism, violation of pledge of confidentiality, or an infraction, suspected by any other member of the college community:
a. A member of the college community may report a suspicion that an honor offense may have occurred directly to the chairwoman or to a member of the Honor Council, or
b. Speak with the suspected student to clarify the matter. If the community member continues to believe that an honor offense may have occurred, s/he may allow the suspected student 24 hours to consult a member of the Honor Council. If the suspected student fails to consult a member of the Council, the person who suspects that an honor offense may have occurred must report suspicions directly to an Honor Council representative or to the chairwoman.
- Cases of stealing: A member of the college community who suspects that a student has stolen something must not discuss the suspicion with others nor confront the student directly. The community member must refer the suspicion directly to an Honor Council member or to the chairwoman. Direct referral and confidentiality are important to prevent unwarranted rumors.
- Members of the faculty and staff report suspected honor offenses according to the procedures described above.
When an offense has been reported to the Honor Council, the chairwoman of the Honor Council may in her discretion or shall at the request of the accused appoint an investigating committee. The committee shall consist of one member of the Honor Council appointed by its chairwoman and two members of the Judicial Board appointed by its chairwoman. The Honor Council member of the investigating committee is present for clarification of information but shall not vote at any subsequent hearing. The investigating committee shall make a full investigation of the reported offense and, upon completing its investigation, shall report its findings to the chairwoman of the Honor Council.
Potential offenses that arise close to or during the exam period will be dealt with on or after the final day of exams. The investigation shall occur as deemed appropriate by the chairwoman in accordance with the exam schedules of the students involved.
Should a student admit she was in violation of the Honor Code to the Honor Council chairwoman, during or after an investigation, the chairwoman has the option to conduct an individual conference with the student. At this time, the chairwoman could sanction the student following the penalties in Section G.
Reporting of Honor Code offenses will be handled according to the diagram for resolution. (See flow chart.) Upon receiving the report of an offense or upon receiving the report of the investigating committee, the chairwoman of the Honor Council shall determine whether probable cause exists that an offense has been committed. If the chairwoman determines that probable cause does not exist, the charge shall be dismissed without a hearing. If the chairwoman determines that probable cause does exist, a hearing shall be scheduled.
A Mary Baldwin University student accused of an honor offense has the following rights:
- The right to be notified by the Honor Council chairwoman that a report of an offense by her has been made to the Honor Council and to request that an investigating committee be appointed.
- The right to be notified in writing by the Honor Council chairwoman of the specific charge against her at least 72 hours before her appearance before the Honor Council.
- The right to a delay in her hearing of at least 48 hours for cause if requested. Delays will not be granted in the absence of cause. The presence or absence of cause shall be determined by the chairwoman.
- The right to request that the chairwoman grant an Administrative Referral or to request mediation, if the violation meets the criteria for a case where mediation is suitable. The chairwoman will, in consultation with the primary advisor to the Honor Council, consider such requests and grant them if she feels they are appropriate.
- The right to have a student advocate serve as her advisor as soon as she is notified that she has been accused of an offense(s). The lead advocate will assign a student advocate to each accused student. An accused student may request a specific student advocate to serve as her advisor. An accused student may also request a member of the faculty, administration, or student body to be her advisor, instead of a student advocate. These special requests may be granted at the discretion of the lead advocate. The student advocate may counsel the accused, question witnesses and the investigating committee, and be present during the presentation of all evidence in the case. The student advocate may not present argument to the Honor Council. Unavailability of the chosen student advocate or advisor shall be grounds for a reasonable continuance of the hearing. However, should such student advocate or advisor be unavailable for a period longer than one week from the originally scheduled hearing date, the lead advocate may assign a different student advocate to the accused student. The accused student may request a specific advocate or advisor at this time.
- The right to call any witnesses who are members of the faculty, administration, or student body of Mary Baldwin University who are necessary to present her case.
- The right to cross-examine all witnesses who are called to testify at the hearing.
- The right to be present during the presentation of all evidence on the case.
- The right to refuse to testify. However, should an accused choose to testify on her own behalf, she shall be required to answer all questions material to the case which are asked of her.
- The right to leave the Mary Baldwin University community to avoid a hearing; provided, however, that in the event of such withdrawal the student's permanent record shall contain a notation that she withdrew without official permission while facing charges of possible honor violation and that the student shall not be readmitted as a student at Mary Baldwin University without appearing before the Honor Council to face the original charges.
- The right to appeal a decision of the Honor Council resulting in suspension or dismissal to the Board of Appeals and ultimately to the president of the college, as set forth in the Student Handbook. A student who is found in violation by the Honor Council or the Judicial Board and who is assigned a sanction of suspension or dismissal, or any sanction that appears on the student's transcript, may appeal the Board's decision on either or both of the following grounds: (1) the Board failed to follow stated procedures AND the failure affected the sanction given, or (2) a sanction that appears on the student's transcript is not supported by evidence heard by the Board.
- On determining that a quorum of the Honor Council, all requested witnesses, the accused, and the accused's Student Advocate are present, the chairwoman shall require the accused and the witness to state their names and administer the oath to the accused and each witness in turn. The accused and the witness shall be reminded that statements given in their testimony are subject to the provisions of the Honor System.
- The chairwoman shall read to the accused the charge or charges against the accused, and shall determine that the accused: understands the charges; has had an opportunity to prepare for the hearing; and has received a statement of her rights.
- The chairwoman shall ask the members of the Honor Council if there are members who have knowledge of the offense charged which will prohibit them from deliberating in an unbiased manner. Any members who have such knowledge shall be disqualified. The accused may submit written questions to the chairwoman bearing on ability of any member of the council to participate in the case. In the event upon disagreement, decisions on whether a member of the Honor Council can participate shall be made by the chairwoman and recorded by the secretary. A quorum of seven members of the Honor Council shall be required to hear a possible honor violation.
- The investigating committee shall present its written report. Members of the Honor Council may question the committee members orally. At the conclusions of such questions, the faculty advisors to the Honor Council, the accused, and the accused's Student Advocate shall have the right to question orally. The chairwoman shall determine whether the questions are appropriate. Any rejected question shall be recorded in the written minutes of the hearing. Upon completion of the report of the investigating committee, the Judicial Board members of the committee shall withdraw from the hearing.
- Witnesses requested by the investigating committee shall then be called to testify. They shall be questioned in the same manner as members of the investigating committee.
- After the investigating committee and all witnesses requested by it have presented their evidence, the accused and/or witnesses for the accused shall testify in an order to be determined by the accused and the accused's student advocate. The testimony shall be conducted in the manner set forth for previous witnesses.
- At any time during the hearing, the chairwoman may direct that the Honor Council withdraw for deliberation and/or discussion, out of the presence of the accused and the accused's student advocate. The accused and the accused's student advocate may request of the chairwoman a brief recess for deliberation and/or discussion.
- Witnesses shall be allowed to testify to any matter considered by the chairwoman to be relevant to the issue of the guilt or innocence of the accused. Questions of relevance shall be within the discretion of the chairwoman. No questions shall be allowed concerning previous misconduct, or honor or judicial offenses. The chairwoman will ask each witness if they would like to be informed when the hearing has reached conclusion.
- At the conclusion of the evidence the council shall retire to deliberate. A student shall be found in violation of the codes only if the committee finds that the offense has been proven by clear and convincing evidence. If more than one member of the Honor Council present casts a vote of "not in violation" at the conclusion of the deliberations, the charges shall be dismissed and the accused is notified.
- If a student is found in violation of the codes, the Honor Council shall recall the accused and the accused's student advocate and so inform them.
- Proceedings shall then begin concerning the appropriate penalty. During this portion of the hearing, the accused may testify on her own behalf concerning the penalty and may call witnesses on her behalf (including character witnesses) who may provide any information relevant to the determination of the penalty. She may not present evidence weighing on her guilt or innocence. The Honor Council may consider past honor convictions, but may not consider any past honor accusations.
- After hearing the evidence concerning the penalty, the Honor Council shall return to its deliberations and determine the penalty by a majority vote. The appropriate penalties are as set forth in the Student Handbook.
- The Honor Council shall notify the accused in person of the penalty imposed. The accused shall be presented a written statement of the offense, verdict, and penalty, signed by the secretary of the Honor Council.
- The Honor Council chairwoman (or her designee) shall maintain: a tape recording and, if necessary, typed summary of the procedures except the deliberations of the council; written minutes of the hearing; and as part of the record of the hearing; the summons, the signed statement of rights, a signed copy of these procedures, and a copy of the written statement described in Paragraph E.
- These materials shall be used in the event of appeal.
- The chairwoman will direct that all interested witnesses may be informed that a hearing has reached its conclusion.
- Minor
a. Alternative Penalties: Council may require such penalties as it deems advisable. These may include, but are not limited to, community service, educational tasks, and restitution.
b. Probation: Probation is a testing period and acts as a warning that further offenses will warrant severe action. The Honor Council also may assign alternative penalties and/or place conditions on the probation as it deems appropriate. If a student is found in violation of their probation a major penalty will then follow.
- Major
a. Suspension is an immediate temporary termination for a stated period of the student's enrollment in the college. Suspension always includes the remainder of the term in which the student was enrolled at the time s/he was suspended. Suspension usually is for a period of no less than two terms. The student who is suspended must leave the college within 48 hours. No credit is given for courses in which the student was enrolled at the time she was suspended. The Honor Council also may place the suspended student on probation after her return to the college and may place other conditions on the suspension, as it deems appropriate.
b. Dismissal is immediate termination of the student's admission and enrollment in the college. The dismissed student may apply for re-admission after one year. Her application must include evidence of good conduct in the interim. The application will be considered on its merit.
- Additional Penalties
Council may impose additional sanctions and conditions, as it deems appropriate. When a student is found in violation of plagiarism, the council will determine whether the work is valid, and may be revised, or whether the work is invalid, and will be graded zero. When a student is found in violation of cheating, the work affected is automatically invalid and will be graded zero. The Honor Council may suggest to a faculty member that a grade of F (or NC in the case of a course taken P/NC) be given to a student who has been found in violation of cheating or plagiarism. The Honor Council chairwoman will notify the professor of its determinations regarding students' work in cases of plagiarism or cheating and of its recommendations regarding the course grade.
- Uncompleted Penalties
If a student found in violation does not complete their penalty it is then at the discretion of the Honor Council Chairwoman to look at the nature of the original violation and the student's efforts towards completing the sanction. It will then be up to the Honor Council to impose additional sanctions, and conditions, as it deems appropriate.
- Notation on Transcript
All penalties of dismissal or suspension will be noted on the student's transcript. Probation will be so noted only when the Honor Council specifically makes such notation a condition of the probation.
- Notification
Council may at its discretion notify members of the college community that it has disposed of a matter brought to its attention. The notification will not include information as to the disposition of the case nor the verdict nor penalties imposed, unless council determines that it requires the assistance of a member of the college community in carrying out the penalty or sanctions.
The Honor Council chairwoman will notify the associate vice president for student affairs when a student has been placed on probation, suspended, or dismissed. The associate vice president for student affairs will send the student a letter stating the Honor Council's penalty and outlining any additional sanctions and conditions. The associate vice president for student affairs will send a copy of the letter to the registrar if the penalty is suspension or dismissal, or if the council has determined that the probation will be noted on the student's transcript. The associate vice president for student affairs will destroy the file copy of the letter at the end of the student's probationary period if there are no other offenses.
When the registrar receives from the associate vice president for student affairs notice that a student has been suspended or dismissed, or that probation will be noted on the student's transcript, he/she will note: "Disciplinary [Suspension/Dismissal/Probation] Imposed by Honor Council on [date] for offense of [lying, cheating, stealing] [for a period of … ]." The registrar will destroy the letter he/she receives from the associate vice president for student affairs.
1. Membership
The Dean of the College is chair of the Board of Appeals.
The Board of Appeals consists of the Dean of the College, chair; either the chairwoman of the Honor Council (for an appeal of a decision by the Judicial Board) or the Chairwoman of the Judicial Board (for an appeal of a ruling by the Honor Council); the Lead Advocate; one full-time member of the faculty; one member of the staff. The faculty and staff members are appointed annually by the Executive Committee of SGA and approved by the Senate.
Alternates for Board members may sit at the discretion of the chair, who will in writing notify the appellant of the composition of the Board at least 48 hours in advance of a hearing, not including Saturdays, Sundays, and days when the college is not in session.
The Board meets early in each academic year to review duties and procedures, including those set forth in the Board of Appeals Handbook, which is updated annually by the chair in consultation with the chairs of Honor Council and the Judicial Board.
The associate vice president for student affairs provides support for students involved in the process of an appeal, including members of the Boards. S/he is not a member of the Board of Appeals.
2. Conditions for Appeal
A student who is found in violation by the Honor Council or the Judicial Board and who is assigned a sanction of suspension or dismissal, or any sanction that appears on the student's transcript, may appeal the Board's decision on either or both of the following grounds: (1) the Board failed to follow stated procedures AND the failure affected the sanction given, or (2) a sanction that appears on the student's transcript is not supported by evidence heard by the Board.
The student may remain on campus until the appeal process is complete, unless subject to a summary suspension. The student may attend class during the appeal process. The student will receive credit for work submitted prior to the effective date of a suspension or dismissal. Class attendance policies are the course instructor's prerogative.
The effective date of a suspension or dismissal is the date on which a Honor Council or Judicial Board decision is handed down, or the date stated in that decision. Work submitted after the effective date is automatically invalid, although it may have been submitted during an appeal process.
3. Rights of a Student In An Appeal:
To receive 48 hours' notice of a hearing, not including Saturdays, Sundays, and days when the college is not in session.
To present to the chair of the Board of Appeals a written statement of reasons for objecting to the participation of any member of the Board of Appeals. The student must present her statement at least 24 hours in advance of a hearing (not including Saturdays, Sundays, and days when the college is not in session). The chair may appoint an alternate to the hearing panel in his/her own sole discretion. The signed statement becomes a part of the hearing record.
To receive a delay for cause, granted at the sole discretion of the chair.
To choose an advisor who is a member of the Mary Baldwin University community, or to choose or to be assigned a Student Advocate, for support and advice during the appeal process.
To question witnesses who testify in the appeal hearing.
To discuss the case and to receive support from all persons with whom the student is permitted to discuss a pending honor or judicial case.
Students may waive their rights by signing an explicit written statement of the right being waived. The signed statement becomes part of the hearing record.
4. Appeal Process
To appeal a decision of the Honor Council or Judicial Board the student must hand deliver a written appeal directly into the hands of a staff member in the office of the Dean of the College or his/her administrative assistant (not a student assistant), within 48 hours of the close of the hearing, not including Saturday, Sunday, and official college holidays. Notes: Do not use e-mail. The schedule of official college holidays is posted on the college's web site.
The student's written appeal of a procedural violation that affected the sanction must include both of the following:
a. The statement in the Student Handbook requiring the procedure that the appellant claims was not followed, and
b. Her reasons for believing that the failure to follow the procedure affected the sanction.
The student's written appeal that a sanction is not supported by the evidence must include:
a. Concrete and specific reasons for believing that the sanction is not appropriate to the offense of which she was found in violation. Note: penalties imposed by the College's disciplinary Boards are individual to the student found in violation and to the specific circumstances of the offense committed. Sanctions may not appropriately be compared, and such a comparison may not form the basis of an appeal of a sanction.
b. Information that was not considered by the hearing Board, if any.
5. Hearing Process
The chairwoman of a Board that has handed down a decision that may be appealed will notify the chair of the Board of Appeals that such a decision has been handed down.
Prior to a Board of Appeals hearing the chairwoman of the Honor Council or Judicial Board will forward to the chair of the Board of Appeals a written summary of the hearing, signed by the appellant to indicate that she also has received it. The written summary includes items of evidence and/or questions excluded from the hearing, the summons, the signed statement of rights, and the Board's written statement of offense, verdict, and penalty. At his/her sole discretion, the chair of the Board of Appeals may request the tape recording of the hearing.
The chair of the Board sets a time for the hearing and notifies the appellant of the time, place, and composition of the Board (see Rights of a Student in an Appeal).
The Board of Appeals may meet in advance of the hearing to review procedures and the written materials, including the student's statement of appeal. During the hearing, the Board of Appeals will question the appellant and the chairwoman and advisor of the Board whose decision is in question. The Board will not call other witnesses. However, the chair may seek information from any source in his/her own sole discretion.
The following also may ask questions in an order determined by the chair: the chair, the members of the Board of Appeals, the appellant and her advisor, and the chairwoman and advisor of the Board whose decision is under appeal.
The Board may recess at the discretion of the chair.
Following questioning, the Board of Appeals will retire to deliberate. The Board will determine whether the sanction imposed was affected by a failure of the Honor Council or Judicial Board to follow stated procedures, and/or whether the sanction imposed is supported by evidence heard by the Board. The Board of Appeals may affirm the sanction or remand the case to the Honor Council or Judicial Board for a new hearing. The Board will state briefly the reasons for its finding.
At the conclusion of the hearing the chair of the Board will state its determination orally to the appellant and may include a statement of the reasons for the finding.
On the next day the college is open, the chair will make available to the student a written statement of the Board of Appeals' determination, including a written statement of the reasons for the finding, with a copy to the president of the college, the associate vice president for student affairs, and the chairwomen of the Honor Council and the Judicial Board.
If the Board of Appeals affirms the sanction, the student may within 48 hours appeal to the president of the college, by giving a written statement directly into the hands of a member of the president's staff (not a student assistant). The president or a staff member will notify the chair of the Board of Appeals, who will forward to the president the materials the student presented to the Board, a summary of the student's involvement in the case, a copy of the student's letter of appeal, the hearing record, and a copy of the chair's letter to the student, including the statement of the reasons for the Board of Appeals' finding.
The president shall make a final decision and notify the student in writing. The president may affirm the sanction assigned by the Honor Council or Judicial Board or return the case to that Board for a re-hearing. The president will communicate her/his decision to the student in writing, with a copy to the dean of the college, the associate vice president for student affairs, and the chairwomen of the Honor Council and the Judicial Board.
All members of the Honor Council/Judicial Board, students reporting offenses, members of an investigating committee, witnesses at a hearing and/or investigating committee, advisors and members of the Board of Appeals shall strictly maintain the confidentiality of proceedings. An accused student may discuss her case while an investigation is proceeding with the following individuals: her parents, her student advocate, the chairwoman of the Honor Council/Judicial Board, the advisors to the Honor Council/ Judicial Board, and faculty, administration and staff of the college. An accused student may not discuss her case with any other individual, especially those involved with an investigation. If an accused student is found responsible and given a sanction, the student may tell others her sanction. She may not discuss any other aspect of the case with anyone except those persons listed above. Failure to maintain confidentiality will result in an action by the Honor Council.
The Honor Council shall post the results of cases in which a student has been found in violation, without names, once each semester; however, if there is a breach of confidentiality, the Honor Council reserves the right to post a statement without names, of the facts of the case for one and a half to two days, at four places on campus.
- All persons testifying in an Honor Council proceeding shall be subject to the Honor System. In the event that a student is suspected of lying during a hearing, the hearing will proceed to a conclusion. The separate suspected offense of lying shall be investigated following the procedures applicable to other honor offenses.
- If a student is accused of an act constituting both a judicial and an honor offense (e.g., vandalism and stealing, violation of regulation and lying about it) the honor offense shall take precedence. However, Judicial proceedings can begin. In the event of findings of in violation on both offenses, the Judicial Board may consider the penalty imposed by the Honor Council in imposing its sanctions.
Searches of students' rooms will be conducted only upon authorization of the dean of students or the director of residential community, with exception noted below. Permission to search will be granted whenever the Honor Council presents reason to believe that:
- The search will produce evidence that an honor offense has been committed.
- A specific item or items may be found,
- Unusual circumstances require a search.
The chairwoman of the Honor Council shall appoint at least two members of the Honor Council to a committee to conduct the search.
The chairwoman may be one of the members. The search committee will make available to the student(s) whose room is to be searched a written statement of the reason for the search and the object(s) sought.
A search may be conducted in the absence of the student(s) whose room is being searched. If an occupant of the room is present at the time a search is started, she has the right to remain in her room for the duration of the search.
Exception: The chairwoman of the Honor Council, in her sole authority, may authorize a search if she has reason to suspect that an honor offense is or is about to take place, and that delay may result in destruction of evidence or immediate harm to the college community. The Honor Council chairwoman will always notify the dean of students as soon as possible if she has to authorize a search in this type of special case.

Editorial Reviews
Edward Zigler, The Edward Zigler Center in Child Development and Social Policy
"This is a comprehensive and authoritative review of the field of early childhood research, covering the basic scientific and key policy issues, with contributions from the leading researchers. It will be an essential reference for anyone interested in the exciting early development of children, with the breadth, depth and clarity of its coverage."
Judy Dunn, Professor of Developmental Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, London
"Kathleen McCartney and Deborah Phillips have recruited many of the top names in the field of early child development to provide timely and informative reviews of a very fast-moving field. This handbook will be obligatory reading for researchers and practitioners alike. Whether you are looking for a conceptual framework, the latest empirical findings in key domains such as the development of cognition, language and emotion, or the implications for policy, this book should serve as a first point of reference."
Paul L. Harris, Harvard University
"This book simply redefines "comprehensive"! It is truly interactive in that it constantly elicits the reader's input by raising and/or addressing issues that reach far beyond the printed page."
Toni Brennan, University of Surrey
"The assembling of a large number of qualified experts to write short, clear summaries of their areas is an impressive achievement, and the context and policy sections go beyond expectations … making it valuable even to scholars already knowledgeable in the field."
Marie-Pierre M. Gosselin and David R. Foreman, Canadian Psychology

text: Grassroots organizing surged in the 1960s and 1970s across the political spectrum, from identity-based liberation movements, to environmentalism, to the New Right. Every movement had gender aims or aspects of its own. The week's lectures and discussions will probe the historical linkages, the intersections and conflicts, and the consequences of various movements. The program will pursue what we can learn about gender history by examining the historical trajectories and transformations of these diverse movements for political and social change, which began just as feminists were redefining the meaning of the political.

Fall leaves are hitting the ground and baseball fans are flocking to the stadiums, which could only mean one thing—Major League Baseball playoffs have arrived! Nike Vision athletes Evan Longoria, Mark Teixeira, and Elvis Andrus, who made the final regular-season games so enjoyable to watch, plan to stride into the playoffs wearing Nike Vision's Show-X2.
Tamps Bay's Evan Longoria, earned the Rays the AL wild-card spot, by hitting his second home-run of the game (in the 12th-inning) to beat the Yankees 8-7. Down 7-0 going into the eighth, Longoria's first homer brought in three runs, finishing a six-run burst—giving the Rays and their 29,518 fans the momentum they needed to capture the win.
Longoria, who plays third base for the World Series contenders, throws, catches and even dives for the ball in his Show-X2s. Their secure wrap temple arms keep them securely in place and the 8-Base Sport Wrap frame design maximizes visual coverage. With a position that requires him to react quickly, Longoria finds the Show-X2's Nike Max Optics technology most beneficial. Only the patented design of Nike Max Optics has zero distortion straight ahead and minimal distortion across the complete curve of the lens. Competitor eyewear only claims accuracy straight ahead.
Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, who contributed his own homerun (a grand slam) during the AL Wild Card qualifier, also finds the Show-X2 the perfect eyewear for game play. The Yankees, who also made post-season play, continue to battle the Detroit Tigers in the initial chase for the AL Division title.
Elvis Andrus, the Ranger's 23 year old rookie shortstop, hopes to help his team defeat Tampa Bay in the American League Division Series. As part of the deadliest offense in baseball, Andrus takes his time at the plate seriously. With a .279 average to maintain, seeing the ball from release all the way to the bat is incredibly important for a player expected to deliver. Whether the sun is at full-force or the shadows are rolling in, Andrus relies on the Show-X2's interchangeable lenses to help him see clearly throughout the seventh inning stretch. With a broad array of performance tints, MLB athletes like Andrus can optimize their vision in any lighting condition.

Right on JSA. And when I finally get to travel to Los Angeles, I look forward to visiting the Cinerama Dome. I've heard nothing but great things.
As a theater chain owner-to be, I will be fully committed to bringing showmanship back to the movies. I understand that ads bring income to the theaters, but I think the most important auditoriums should be true showplaces, and that's what I aim to do. Of course, limit ads along the way.
Digital projection or not, movie theaters need to take a page from the 50s and give audiences what on-demand or DVD can't give you at home, a giant movie on a giant screen, complete with ushers, curtain tabs and the like. Movie theaters will never go away, as there are still to many people in this world who are social. And even with the flaws of theaters today, I am a movie/theater buff, and I won't give up on them.
With this talk from the studios, filmmakers need to pull out those 65mm cameras and shoot important tentpole releases with them. 65mm can only make digital look better than what it really is.
Movie theaters aren't going nowhere folks. But expect anarchy from filmmakers, because I doubt Chris Nolan wants people to see "Inception", or the next Batman first run in a damn living room.
I was going through some microfilm from 1990, and I'm in awe of the discovery that the Rutger Hauer b-movie, "The Blood of Heroes" ran here from 2/23/90 – 3/15/90. For anyone who may have worked here or went here during that time, is that correct? I'm finding it hard to believe because it grossed only 882k at the BO.
This theater now has a digital LIEMAX screen that AMC keeps putting up. Since the auditoriums (before LIEMAX) held approx 140-290, I imagine the screen holds no more that 220-230 people tops.
And you get to pay up to $14 dollars for the scam too!
Robert Weisgerber, inventor of the Super Dimension 70 system, has created a digital projection system (supposedly on par with 70mm) called DMX.
With all the move towards digital, this could be the digital version of 70mm. If it happens, I hope he tweaks it again with 4k/6k techology. And I hope 65mm origination happens, because it can make digital look better that what it is now.
Tim, do you remember if a movie called "Cutter's Way" played at the Cinema? It was released in NY under the original (novel) title "Cutter & Bone" in the spring of '81, but pulled due to poor reaction. It came out again that summer under the new title, and did better, but not by much. I'm hoping to get a microfilm ad of it if Chicago ever got the movie. I figured that this theater was an art house, and "Cutter" would've played here or the Sandburg if released in chi-town.
Thanks Tim. I didn't know that about the Chicago. When my theater corp finally gets going, I hope to build a theater similar to the Lincoln Square in New York, where each auditorium has a faux marquee/entrance of a classic movie palace. In Chicago, the screens would be the Chicago, State-Lake, United Artists, Woods etc… My proposed project would be the flagship.
Justin, you must be talking about the mini-IMAX (I call it LIEMAX) at the AMC Empire 25. The Lincoln Square has the real thing.
And when I eventually visit New York, I plan to make a trip to LS.
I just saw on the news that Costco is looking to build a store on the site of the now-closed Kiddieland in nearby Melrose Park. If that goes through, then that's more hope for Norridge.
Anyway, does all the screens have side-masking for scope films? I ask because I think of another M&R turned Loews theater, the Evergreen. And its original 2 screens were split to make 4, and all of them were pretty big screens. I'm wondering if Norridge's split auditoriums have the same effect.
Tim, when you go to that site, look at the bottom of the exterior photo. There should be numbers 1-12 and "full screen". Click on #8 to see the balcony shot of the screen.
When you see the screen, look at the bottom left & bottom right of the screen (bottom right is more visible), there's a square opening that's most likely the exit door. It's just like the exit doors at the AMC River East here in Chicago.
I hope that because it's a balcony shot, the visual impact is lessened. Because I'm in Chicago (and broke), I won't be able to see the place up close. So if anybody visits, please give us a report on the main screen. I hope my suspicions are proven wrong.
I believe AEG owns Regal. I've read articles on the theater that refer to them as AEG Regal LA Live.
And yeah, 14 screens is too much. I could see playing it on 7 of the screens, then you could program 7 other flicks too.
Anyway, I'm even more determined to get my theater corpration off the ground and get ahold of a proposed development here in Chicago, because the location would be perfect for me to construct a theater that would put to rest this "premiere" screen at LA Live. I mean c'mon, they spent 100 million dollars to build this place, and they couldn't get the screen right. When I think of "premiere auditorium", I think of a screen that looks almost as big as this
View link
Uhh Chris, I looked at the photo of the screen in the "premiere" auditorium, and it looks like Regal couldn't curb their habbit of top-down screen masking. If you look closely at picture #8 at this link, you can see that the screen while covered up with curtains, has exit doors close on both sides of screen. It's a setup just like the new AMC builds, or Pacific Grove 14. And with that setup, you know that the screen can't expand at the sides.
Oh well, it least the decor looks great. Kudos to Regal for that. But for those in LA, the
W-I-D-E-S-C-R-E-E-N experience is at the Arclight or Grauman's Chinese.
I look forward to building a movie theater in the future, because when it comes to "wall-to-wall screens", I'm going to show them how it's done.
JRS40, I know the Chicago Theatre had the larger seating capacity (3,600), but between State-Lake & Chicago, which one had the largest screen? I myself am leaning towards S-L because it showed many 70mm presentations, and the Chicago did not.
My dad drove by the theaters while me, him, and my mom were on the way to the Aldi down the road. It's still standing, which is great. I've wrote a draft of my business plan, now I'm just revising it.
I've read about a new system that can project Real-D images with screens up to 80ft wide. This would be perfect to show "Avatar". With that, here's another listing of films that would've played here if it were open today
6/19/09 – THE HANGOVER (moveover from 1-6)
7/1/09 – PUBLIC ENEMIES (Lansing/River Run would've gotten "Transformers")
9/4/09 – INGLORIOUS BASTERDS (moveover from 11-12)
Now my planned 11-12 would be next to #10. They would hold about 400 & 300, and feaure waterfall curtains.
While I like the idea of large format digital screens, it would be nice if their XD screens had side-masking.
People, this is where large format cinema should be, digital or film

According to the Kerasotes website, the theater at Roosevelt Collection is now known as the ShowPlace ICON Theatre. This sounds like Kerasotes is brining about a new brand within the corporation. They're opening a similar location in St. Louis Park, MN next month.
According to this link, this theater is opening a Cinemark "Extreme Digital" auditorium on November 6th. I've seen photos of their new creation, and it looks pretty good. It's no IMAX or 70mm, but it appears to be better than the LIEMAX screens that AMC is opening up. I know I will most certainly be making the trek to Evanston when it opens.
I'm glad you mentioned the resolution Xenon. I read somewhere that shooting in 35mm and going directly to print could have a resolution up to 8k. 70mm resolution on the other hand, might be upwards of 10/12k if that comment on 35 is true.
In the very very distant future when I have grey hair and grandkids, there just might be an 8k projector to equal 70mm quality, but it should retain the 2.20: 1 aspect ratio.
Any kind of 70mm comeback would of course, be shot that way. And I think it should also be reserved for screens 50ft wide and above.
From that teaser I saw, it appears that Chris Nolan's "Inception" has some 65mm. There was a scene or two that looked far too sharp to have been shot in 35mm (and I saw the teaser in 35).
I think that any 70mm production won't be bought up by a studio exec. However, any kind of return to 70mm would have to be by a director with the power to do what he/she wants.
I don't think it will return anytime soon though. Once hollywood ***k themselves over with the digital thing….
I second that Ian. I saw "Beowulf" in Real-D, and I started getting eyestrains after the first 30 minutes or so. I will say this though, it looks better than the old 3-D with the red/blue cardboard glasses.
Now why would a studio do a new 70mm release? To keep people in the theaters. Once 3-D and digital become commonplace, and the 3-D systems become avalible to Blu-ray, then what? What happens when there's another box office slump that's worse than the infamous 19 week drought of 2005? Keep in mind that 100% "pristine" digital will only make piracy easier. If that's the case, then people who buy pirated movies can pretty much say goodbye to the old camcorded crap of the past. For $5 on the street, one could buy the lastest Michael Bay fluff, and it would have real DVD quality. Why? Because smart hackers get into hardrives the way a hungry person gets into McDonalds. What will save Hollywood the way it was saved from TV in the 50s?
If they have a teaspoon of sense, then they would go to large format film (for the few selected productions of course). In today's world where an average summer film costs 200+ million, 65mm originated material only makes sense. Think about it, 200 million is a gamble for something that might be on the street on release date. And "Real-D" will be on Blu-ray in few months. So you've gotta give people what they can't get at home; a big bright sharp image on a BIGWIDESCREEN.
IMAX had a great thing going until they whored themselves out in favor of two 2k projectors and smaller screens at AMC locations. Now they've become an example of corporate greed, and has created LIEMAX at the chain locations.
Another thing these big chains (cough AMC, Regal cough) need to stop doing, building 14-20 screeners all with top-down masking and seat capacities of 70-350. And instead of spending all these millions on those LIEMAX screens, they could be spending money on building screens like this:
View link
Of course, that would require a corporation to you know, care about the moviegoing experience rather than just $$$$. When I eventually build theaters, you can best bet that most, of not all of them will feature a premiere auditorium with a screen size that's 60-80ft wide.
I'll leave some more interesting links here:

Tell me Ian, what's the name of the theater that's getting 70mm? I can mark that down in my list.
I do think digital is the future, and its better than 35mm in some cases. But until there's a digital equivalent to 70mm, complete with the 2.20: 1 aspect ratio and crystal clear photography, I still stand by the notion that we should be FIGHTING for the kind of movie that would be shot in the large format 65mm, and have select market 70mm or Super Dimension 70 prints. Of course, the rest would be 4k digital.
Ron Fricke's upcoming sequel to "Baraka" titled "Samsara" is a start. But because of its subject matter, it may not do well even with a select market release. Now if Christopher Nolan does indeed shoot an upcoming project in 65mm, then we should put it out there that even with digital screens, we can run the movie the way it was meant to be seen.
Anyway, I won't worry about the future right now. I'm focused on getting this theater reopened. Hopefully I'll achieve that. But yeah, if there's ever a digital format like 70mm, then lets welcome it with hugs. But until that time, lets fight for the underdog.
PS: I wish there was something like this here in Chicago
Say, does anyone know what is the largest 35mm/digital screen operating in Little Rock today?
"Digital still has a way to go in its own technology"
A loooooonnnnnggggg way at that. The current digital systems projecting movies are good, but it sure as hell ain't like the last 15 minutes of "The International", which were shot in 65mm. Now keep in mind, I saw that projected in 35mm. Seeing those minutes made me believe in what film could do if done right. And could you imagine what it would've looked like if it were projected in its 65mm origination? But its all about the bottom-line dollar to these greedy/stingy studio knuckleheads. And in some small way, we play a part in what they do.
Think about it. The art of theatrical presentation is pretty much ——ed. They don't care, because we, the people who spend money don't care. And when we don't like what they do in the theaters, we wait for DVD, and inadvertently shrink the window of theatrical release and home video. A decade ago, they came with 2k digital, and we bought it. They started building multiplexes with so-called main auditoriums with top-down masking for 2.35 films, and we bought that. Then comes ticket prices so expensive, one will have spent part of a gas bill after leaving. We visit these sites and talk about the good 'ol days of cinema and about how much better it was back in the day, yet we do nothing to help bring the art of showmanship to THIS day.
As a 19 year old male with plans to own a chain of movie theaters, I like the idea of digital projection. And when it's really perfected, I will welcome it with open arms. But the digital presentations I've seen pale in comparison to those last minutes of "International" or even better, the IMAX segments in "TDK". Those are the kind of images that digital won't be topping for years. Even with a perfect digital in the future, why should digital become the sole format for theatrical presentation? Why couldn't digital become the new 35mm, with larger film formats used for selected films? Oh yeah, we've got to just "accept the fact that film and large format film is a dinosaur and move on". Those are the words those honchos love to hear. Well, they're not going to hear it from me. I won't accede to that way of thinking.
As long as digital is not 100% perfect, we should be thinking of ways film could stand side-by side with digital. This means helping the independent filmmaker shoot productions in old fashioned super 16, or even better, the glorious and beautiful Panavision Anamorphic. And if we've got millions of dollars, rent 'em an Arri 765, which is like the window to the world, through the lens of a camera.
We should also take the young children to see 70mm revivals. And if there's any projectionists with children, let them feel the strip of film in their hands. Let them know what kind of magic they're holding.
And if anybody wants a new 65mm production (or just the art of showmanship in general), its very simple, fight for it. I will be doing my part, but one person is one person. A whole group on the other hand, is something else. When "Samsara" gets a release date, hammer the studios about releasing a 70mm print in a selected theater. Find ways to promote the format to audiences. If it does well, then perhaps a filmmaker like Chris Nolan could produce another production for the format.
I am going to conclude my rant, and I will leave everyone with some links.
Although a complete digital takeover won't happen for many many years, we have to do what we can to save independents in our respective communites. See, studios today only think about the big chains like AMC, Regal etc… They forget about the ones who can't spend a billion dollars on systems that will most likely have to be upgraded to something else in a few years.
But until we cross that bridge, keep those 35mm prints looking pristine folks. And fight for a new 70mm production, even when people say "it's never gonna happen".

so im at *insert popular game store here* and im telling the guy about ps3 paying ps2 games, and he claims the only model that does is the 60gb model.. well i tell him i have an 80gb model that does from a motorstorm bundle and he never heard of it and didnt believe me that they ever released such a thing. so it got me wondering.. is the 80gb that plays ps2 games a rare find?

i have the 80gb version of teh ps3 and mine refuses to play the ps2 games, says this version is not compatable or some crap
yeah it has to be the 1st 80gb ones they came out with. the bundle with motor storm and the regular sixaxis cotroller, not ds3

Is it true or false that the only backwards compatible PS3 are the PS3s that have the flip up front panel with the SD Card Slots??
Posted 15 October 2009 - 04:51 AM
false. 20gb launch ps3s didn't have card slots. but yeah, if it has card slots its got backwards compatability.
Posted 04 December 2009 - 05:13 PM
I think there is one more way to look at it. As when store recruits knowledgeable people, they lose touch with specs and game titles. so they are not always updated with games. so it happens.
Posted 05 December 2009 - 08:49 PM
It depends on the store. Never trust big box employees for anything. Smaller stores the guy might know but things like the backwards compatibility of PS3's I wouldn't expect from a guy at the store that probably owns a 360.
Posted 15 December 2009 - 02:08 PM
yes that is also one way to look. small store keeps stuff they know and for sure how to sell it but not like big shops who just oversells it.

We're gradually running out of kitchen cupboard space, we don't exactly lack kitchen storage we just have A LOT of kitchen stuff (we like to cook). I love displaying my thing too, whats the point in having awesome patterned cups, or cute sugar bowls when they're behind closed doors? So I bought this little book case (£12 from Argos!! ), in white to match the cupboards, and hey presto... extra space! The only problem now is I want to buy more things to display. Kitchen Catch 22.
I normally avoid buying super cheap furniture, but it does the job perfectly. I'm going to get another for the hall way too!
oh also, exciting garden update, the coriander is starting to look like coriander!!

Reporter Rachel Dubrovin explains who they're trying to help and why not everyone agrees that it's a much-needed service.
Josh Kimbrow is the Agency Administrator for Palouse Area Care and Transport, or PACT-EMS. It's a new Moscow-based ambulance transport service.
"We're licensed at the ALS-1 level, which means pre-hospital facility advanced life support and critical care transport," said Kimbrow. "We focus on non-emergent medical transportation."
They've been on call 24-seven since January
"We'll really take a patient anywhere they need to go," said Kimbrow. "We've gone to Boise, we've gone to Oregon, and other places as well."
"Sirens are a rare exception," said Kimbrow. "Sometimes we will run lights."
Kimbrow said the service has been needed in Moscow for years.
"We were in talks with Gritman, and it was taking between five and nine hours in order to arrange inter facility transport," said Kimbrow. "So what we did is decided to fill that void, and provide immediate transport for non-emergent medical transportation."
But Moscow's Volunteer Fire Department EMS Division Chief Dave Reynolds said he believes a private EMS company in Moscow simply isn't necessary.
"Moscow Ambulance has been providing transport service locally for many decades," said Reynolds. "We've been building up our transport capability, mostly in the last four to eight years."
Reynolds said the department is fully capable of covering all of the city's emergencies and non-emergency requests for transfers. But he said at this point, they don't have a reason to be concerned about PACT EMS.
"We really don't know what the impact is going to be," said Reynolds. "We know that there's about 120 calls a year that are out-of-area transports that are significant, and we really don't know what that impact is going to be."
Kimbrow said PACT EMS hopes to work with the volunteer fire department to serve the community...
"The biggest thing we can tell them is that we're not 9-1-1," said Kimbrow. "If you're in a true emergency or you're at home, dial 9-1-1. When you need to get somewhere else. That's what we're here for."
Kimbrow said insurance generally covers the cost of the Pact EMS Transport Services. And he said so far, the business is doing well. They ran about 21 calls in the month of March.

I could do it. Should see me hit a Brazilian bbq!
I'm thinking that except for the last season, he did about 20 episodes/season, so that's about five months out of the year. And without a big budget, they probably got those episodes done as fast as possible. So, assuming relatively good health, he could eat like that for a few months out of the year and then lay back and live on chicken breasts and salad until shooting began.
One of the shows that repulsed me the most was the raw oyster one. I love oysters, but three trays/dozen in and I began to get nauseous. haha
I couldn't eat 5.5 pounds of food in an hour for sure. Not even my homemade lasagna. Some of the hot dog eating champs are so thin, I half expect them to explode. These shows are like car wrecks for me, I know I shouldn't stare, but I can't help it. LOL

Research has shown that mothers of children with autism have the highest rate of stress compared to parents of children with any other special needs. Recently, Kelli Stapleton, a mother of a 14-year-old daughter with autism, allegedly tried to kill herself and her child by using carbon monoxide poisoning. The police rescued them and Mrs. Stapleton is expected to be charged with attempted murder. The first question that comes to mind is: What exactly drove this woman to try and kill herself and her child?
Of course we sympathize with the girl, a victim. But do we also feel sorry for the mother who may not have been able to deal with the stress of raising a child with autism?
I believe clinicians, educators, government officials, journalists and religious leaders should ask what we can learn from this case. How can we prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again?
Jewish parents of children with autism who participated in my dissertation research gave me some insight into the stressors they face: financial challenges, feeling embarrassed by their son or daughter's behaviors and not being accepted or by other individuals in their community.
Parents experiencing these challenges need to develop friends, connect and share experiences with other men and women who have faced or are facing similar experiences. They need an environment to share advice with other parents of children with special needs. These connections can be a significant resource as men and women realize they are not alone.
Ultimately professionals and parents need to come together to help build supportive programs that will help prevent a parent from feeling the need to take their own life or the life of their child with autism. A religious environment that offers such a program and opportunity would allow parents to connect with other mother and fathers within the comfort of their shared religious community, while completing religious practices together or discussing similar religious beliefs. Meanwhile, parents will be able to bond by sharing experiences related to their raising their child with special needs. We must develop intervention programs that bring families together and allow them to draw on their religious beliefs, ritual practices and community as a way to support and guide each other.

Comment Guidelines
The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
Why is nothing said about the kids? Why is everything always about the parents and their difficulty raising the kids? And plus, whoever said raising a kid would be a piece of cake?
"Of course we sympathize with the girl, a victim. But do we also feel sorry for the mother who may not have been able to deal with the stress of raising a child with autism?" Well, if Issy [the daughter who Kelli attempted to murder] was "normal," would you feel sorry for the mother or would you demand that she rot in prison and that the authorities throw away the key? So in other words, my answer to your question is no because I will never sympathize with parents who try to murder their kids, regardless of whether their kids were disabled or not.
Murder is not the answer. It's a crime against God and society. "Jewish parents of children with autism who participated in my dissertation research gave me some insight into the stressors they face: financial challenges, feeling embarrassed by their son or daughter's behaviors and not being accepted or by other individuals in their community." ... What they don't do is kill their children. She should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law - and it is horrifying to imagine the potential murder of this child is in any way excusable because the mother felt embarrassed. I am the parent of a disabled child who was denied services for years. It was heartbreaking, destructive, financially overwhelming, and we missed participation in many community and family activities for many years. What I never considered, for even a moment, was playing God and killing my child. I can't believe any religious group would imagine supporting the adult over the child in this situation.
This is very insightful and your suggestion in creating these religious groups to discuss and share the difficulties of raising special needs children is very valid.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. I would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss my posting with you via email. Please feel free to get in touch with me at email@example.com

A farmer who has nurtured wildlife on his land for over twenty years has been crowned the most nature-friendly farmer in the UK.
Nicholas Watts, of Vine House Farm in Lincolnshire, has been crowned the winner of the RSPB Telegraph Nature of Farming Award by impressing judges and inspiring voters with his dedication to improving the numbers of declining species, such as tree sparrows, on his land, which is now buzzing with other birds and insects. Nicholas firmly believes that farming and wildlife go hand in hand and proves this with his extremely successful and profitable farm business.
Now in its sixth year, the Nature of Farming Award celebrates farmers who do wonderful things for nature, finding the one who's done the most on their land to help our threatened countryside wildlife. The competition is run by the RSPB, supported by Butterfly Conservation and Plantlife, and sponsored by The Telegraph.
Vine House Farm is a traditional arable farm passed down from one generation to the next, and situated in the Lincolnshire Fenlands. A wide variety of crops are grown including potatoes and sugar beet, with some of the land also farmed organically. All the land is farmed in a way that is sympathetic to the wildlife that shares its environment.
Winner, Nicholas Watts, said: "In 1992, after recording the breeding birds on my farm for 10 years, I realised there had been a big drop in numbers. This worried me so I set about trying to reverse that decline and I have succeeded with several species.
"Since the mid 1990s the national numbers of some farmland birds, such as the yellow wagtail, have continued to decline. I'm delighted to have shown that it's possible to buck this trend, but I feel that farmers need to be given as much support as possible to put wildlife back on the land.
"We all want good quality food to eat, but most also want colour and birdsong in our farmed countryside too. Now, more than ever, we need the Government to support farmers like me and the many others who are doing good things for wildlife but who can't continue without the financial support to do it."
Martin Harper, the RSPB's Director of Conservation and one of four Nature of Farming Award judges, commented: "Nicholas impressed us with the way he constantly comes up with original ideas for creating habitat, not frightened to try something new but equally not afraid to admit when things need to change. Nicholas has a profitable farm business that gives nature a home. His many years of experience provide others with knowledge and motivation to follow in his footsteps, so his impact is far beyond his own farm gate.
"We are delighted to showcase the excellent work that farmers like Nicholas are achieving for our threatened farmland wildlife. Later this year Owen Paterson MP – the Environment Secretary - will be making a final decision about how much of England's farming budget can be given over to wildlife-friendly farming. When looking at the value for money provided by farmers like Nicholas, how can he afford not to back wildlife-friendly farming to the maximum?
"The European Union spends half its annual budget on farming, through the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Ultimately, reform of the CAP should help rather than hinder wildlife-friendly farmers, and it should provide us all with better quality of life in improved environments and more wildlife-rich landscapes."
On his farm, which is 2000 acres, Nicholas grows a wide range of crops including wheat, potatoes, oilseed rape, sugar beet, millet, canary seed and sunflowers which he grows for wild bird seed. He also farms 300 acres of his land organically, primarily with wildlife in mind.
Nicholas bases his conservation practices on the findings of research from his own farm, as well as organisations such as the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, the British Trust for Ornithology and the RSPB. Wildlife-friendly measures he has undertaken include planting 4km of hedges; creating 12 ponds amounting to around 15 acres of water; having wide grass margins for barn owls to hunt over; sowing 15 acres of wildflower meadows for insects and 35 acres of cultivated margins for weeds; and building four brick towers for barn owls.
The UK's most wildlife-friendly farmer is also active away from his farm, having persuaded the drainage board to mow their ditches less often and giving regular talks across the country on farming and wildlife.
This year, for the first time, the Nature of Farming Award judges selected eight finalists rather than four – each one representing a different region in England (north, east, midlands, south east and south west) and one for each of the other UK countries.
The public have been voting in their thousands since the end of July to pick a winner. The RSPB's annual award, sponsored by The Telegraph, supported by Plantlife and Butterfly Conservation and funded by the EU LIFE+ programme, aims to celebrate farmers who do wonderful things for wildlife.

'Snow White and the Huntsman' sequel already in the works
It doesn't open for another month, but Universal is already moving ahead with a sequel to the fantasy epic "Snow White and the Huntsman."
The studio is in talks with veteran screenwriter David Koepp ("Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," "Spider-Man") to pen the sequel. "Huntsman" was written by Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock ("The Blind Side") and Hossein Amini ("Drive").
According to Deadline, the studio wants to fast-track the sequel with Rupert Sanders returning as director. Stars Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth ("The Avengers") and Oscar-winner Charlize Theron ("Monster," "Prometheus") are also likely to reprise their roles.
The urgency to set everything in order for a sequel may seem premature, but buzz for "Huntsman" is building. The action-fantasy-romance has a broad appeal and is tracking well with females (having "Twilight" star Stewart in the lead can't hurt). A big box office is distinct possibility, even though this year's other Snow White tale, Relativity's "Mirror Mirror" didn't make much of an impact.
"Huntsman" is an edgy reviosionist take on the Snow White legend in which Snow (Stewart) is a powerful warrior trying to overthrow the evil queen (Theron). The prospect of a sequel means that the first one likely won't end with a "They lived happily ever after..." tagline.
"Snow White and the Huntsman" opens nationwide June 1.

Have you done your taxes yet?
HaHa ...it's not a poor choice, its helps us at the beginning of the year buy new cars or fix the house, we've built a garage. We want to make our house a 2 story...it truly works for us.
Why not just put it in savings throughout the year? I don't get it.
Follow my home decor Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/housefullofcolor/
We usually end up paying something....around 100-500 which I'm good with. I'd rather have my money throughout the year. I'm self employed so I have to do my own taxes anyway, although I lost a big client this year so we probably won't end up paying anything or very little. I don't file until the last minute, although I complete all the paperwork early just in case I'm shocked and we get a refund, lol.
If I were expecting 9K in a refund, I would adjust my withholdings and put that "extra" money in an interest earning account throughout the year and use that money for big purchases. No way would I overpay the gov't intentionally. They get enough of our money.
I spent five minutes trying to think up a cool siggy and this is all I could come up with.
"Both are salty, one will give me carpal tunnel, I'll go with the fries." - Iliza Shlesinger
I'm not touching the Emerald Advance card topic because my answer is I Love Synlight but now I'm flipping out our return possibly taking so long!
We get back around $4-5k. We are in the zero bracket though and it's mostly credits to begin with.
Frank, how is being single hurting you? When I estimated ours, if we had gotten legally married last year, our return went down by $2800! Did I do something wrong in the estimator?
Seriously- I hope it doesn't take that long. I'm using ours to go visit my mom for 2 weeks and I'm hormonal and emotional and I want my damn mom and I can't buy my plane tickets until I have our money!

Proud mom to 5 heirs and a spare.
DH is self employed. So, we usually pay in every year. It sucks!
That being said...I really like this song too!
Add funny siggy here. Too tired to think of a new one.
Tax preparers like HR Block prey on people who won't look at the fine print, I have often wondered just how much money they make off of people claiming EIC who don't bother to try to save themselves money by just taking an hour online to do it for free on something like turbo tax. In order to get $9k back someone would either have to have grossly overpaid their taxes all year or be picking up a large amount in EIC because they have a low income with a few kids.....

Jody Farrell, woman of distinction
If you know fish and frogs, you know Jody Farrell, co-founder and partner at Tungsten Creative Group. Since 2001, Farrell has served up creative ideas. The former co-chairwoman for the GoFish and LeapFrog public art exhibits, Farrell is also an active Girl Scout troop leader for Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania.
Farrell was honored as the Woman of Distinction during the 2012 Erie Awards of Distinction luncheon on Aug. 1 at the Bayfront Convention Center, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting.
"It was totally unexpected," Farrell said of the award. She credited her years as a Girl Scout for success in business and life. She shared the honor with her family, which includes her husband, Tom, four children, and her parents and in-laws.
At the luncheon, the YMCA of Greater Erie received the 2012 Corporation of Distinction award. Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania collaborates with the Y to offer activities and empowerment workshops at multiple locations in the Erie region.
Tammy Roche accepted the award on behalf of the Y, and she noted that Girls in Motion, the result of a collaboration between the Girl Scouts and the YMCA, launched in 2011 and brought girls in sixth through eighth grades together at the Glenwood Park Y for fun and fitness. After 12 weeks of training, the entire team completed the Her Times 5K, and the team remained together to complete other service projects.
The members of Girl Scout Troop 10376 received the coveted award as the 2012 Troop of Distinction. Troop 10376 was selected by the Erie community through an online contest hosted by GoErie.com.
Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania's 100th anniversary celebration continues throughout the year. For more information on how to join, volunteer or donate to Girl Scouts, visit www.gswpa.org.
