At Baylor, student government wants to ban "deviate" sex instead of "homosexual acts," and says this would make gay students more welcome. At Creighton, Catholic student group wants to end ticket give-aways for concert by singers who created "Same Love."
My first political philosophy teacher was the great Joseph Cropsey who, when we came to a difficult problem in Plato, would sometimes exhort us.
"Courage," he would say, knowing that we were tempted to quit, not only because Plato was a hard read but also because there was much in us, from vanity to laziness to fear, that resisted education.
Like Cropsey, Mark Edmundson thinks that education makes demands on a student's character. In his 1997 Harper's essay, "On The Uses of A Liberal Education: As Lite Entertainment for Bored College Students," he retells the story of a professor who supposedly issued "a harsh two-part question. One: What book did you most dislike in the course? Two: What intellectual or characterological flaws in you does that dislike point to?" Edmundson admits that the question is heavy-handed but approves of the idea that teachers summon students to an encounter they may want to dodge. Students so challenged may skip the reading, or close themselves to what they read, or engage in other kinds of cheating.
I use "cheating" in the extended sense we use when we say our students are "cheating themselves." James Lang, for the most part, means it more narrowly in in Cheating Lessons: Learning from Academic Dishonesty. But I thought of Cropsey and Edmundson as I read Cheating Lessons because Lang shies away from the question of character. Instead, his book is about helping "faculty members to respond more effectively to academic dishonesty by modifying the learning environments they [have] constructed."
Lang, an associate professor of English at Assumption College, advances a "theory about how specific features of a learning environment can play an important role in determining whether or not students cheat." Students who think learning is a means to an end take shortcuts. So a learning environment discourages cheating when it fosters "intrinsic motivation in our students," rather than "relying on extrinsic motivators such as grades."
Students encouraged to outperform each other on high-stakes assessments feel pressure to cheat. So a learning environment discourages cheating when it invites students to attain "learning objectives" and permits them to show that attainment in a variety of ways, with low-stakes assessments preparing the way for high-stakes assessments. Students who think assignments are impossible will find it easy to justify cheating. So a learning environment discourages cheating when it instills a "strong but realistic sense of self-efficacy."
But Lang does not want teachers to think of themselves as academic honesty cops. The most "exciting discovery [he] made while writing" Cheating Lessons is this: "environments which reduce the incentive and opportunity to cheat are the very ones that, according to the most current information we have about how human beings learn, will lead to greater and deeper learning."
Lang made this discovery, he writes, by looking at the "problem of cheating through the lens of cognitive theory." For example, a teacher may think that giving frequent low-stakes assessments is a distraction from learning. Lang himself thought so until he found out "how little [he] knew about the basic workings of the brain." The well-documented "testing effect" suggests that such assessments are not merely measures of learning but an effective means of helping students retain what they have learned.
Yet I balk at the very term "learning environment," with its faint odor of antiseptic. Educators may use the term out of humility, placing themselves in the background and seeking not so much to teach as to place students in a situation in which they can learn. But the idea of a teacher as a constructor and modifier of learning environments merely shifts the teacher's role from the front of the room to inside the control room, flipping switches and twisting dials, modifying conditions in the same way one might modify "the conditions of a laboratory," in accordance with the latest learning theory. It is not obvious that this approach is humbler than that of Cropsey, who, while he stood in front of the room, nonetheless was visibly engaged in the same set of difficult and fascinating problems in which he sought to engage us. If we think of our students as subjects in our laboratory, to be manipulated and nudged toward desirable behaviors, how can we develop in them the qualities of character they will need to govern themselves in environments we do not control?
To be fair, Lang, who offers several exemplars of great teaching, is well aware that teachers are models, or even coaches, not just environmental technicians. But even when he profiles a teacher, Jim Hoyle, who plainly exemplifies for students both the joys and demands of work in his field, Lang is interested in how "the ways in which we communicate with students can also help them develop an appropriately gauged sense of self-efficacy."
Hoyle, who has written his own book on teaching, indicates that there is something more going on when he describes his own role model, Vince Lombardi. Lombardi exemplified not only a way of communicating with athletes but a message, about "courage," "determination," "dedication," and "sacrifice," that Hoyle thinks "excellent ... for both teachers and students."
Lang's target readers "might feel uncertain about their ability to cultivate virtues in their students." Lang himself reminds the reader that "you are not an ethics professor" and warns against haranguing. I assume Hoyle, like most sensible people, takes for granted neither his own virtues nor his capacity to foster them in others, and he does not, on Lang's account, do much haranguing.
But Hoyle also seems to think that he need not be an American Philosophical Association certified moral expert to try to impart to students, as well as the readers of his book on teaching, the virtues that attend the best learning and teaching. The cultivation of such virtues may be a more effective spur to learning and antidote to cheating in its narrow and broad senses than the strategies, all of them useful, on which Lang focuses. As Peter Lawler has recently argued, teachers may do well to recall the "Aristotelian point" that "intellectual virtue depends on moral virtue."
Admittedly, I cannot appeal to the social science literature on cheating that Lang has acquainted himself with to support that last set of claims. And I agree with him that teachers and administrators must not ignore what experiments can tell us about learning. It would be foolish to spend a dime on an academic integrity orientation before you have processed Dan Ariely's finding that Princeton's academic integrity orientation showed absolutely no effect on the likelihood that Princeton students would cheat on a math test two weeks after it ended. It would be foolish to ignore the results of the MIT experiment with a "studio model" for teaching physics, which dramatically reduced both cheating and the rate of failure in the course.
But Lang oversells what social science can tell us at present. For example, to support his argument that "performance oriented classrooms," which emphasize "grades and competition among students," encourage cheating, Lang cites a paper by Eric Anderman and Tamara Murdock. But Anderman and Murdock are more cautious than Lang because while "students report cheating more if they perceive the presence of a performance goal structure," two studies find that "goal structure appears to be unrelated to cheating when a more objective method of assessing context is utilized." The "extent to which teachers can reduce cheating by implementing" practices of the sort Lang recommends "is still unclear."
Consider also Lang's doubt that "hard punishments deter potential cheaters." While Lang supports this claim in part by citing the work of Donald McCabe, Kenneth Butterfield, and Linda Trevino, they themselves have concluded, drawing on their own and others' research, that "academic dishonesty is negatively associated with the perceived certainty of being reported and the perceived severity of penalties." Similarly, Anderman and Murdock, in the same paper we have been considering, assume that "[f]ears of being caught and the perceived severity of the consequences for being caught are two of the most important deterrents to potential cheaters."
Lang is still right to emphasize that "we have no incontrovertible evidence that harsh penalties deter cheating." Moreover, I agree with him that an anti-cheating regime that focuses primarily on threats is unlikely to succeed. On the other hand, there is hardly a groundswell of support for harsh punishments. McCabe and his co-authors argue that the opposite is true: many faculty members have concluded that confronting cheating isn't worth the trouble. How, they ask, "can we expect students to believe that cheating is a serious problem when faculty and others are reluctant to deal with cheaters ... when cheating receives minor consequences and, worst of all, when faculty look the other way?"
However that may be, Lang, as his discussion of the performance classroom shows, does not typically insist that evidence be incontrovertible before one acts on it. It is fine to set a high bar for accepting and acting on the results of social science research. But you can't set a higher bar for approaches you are already inclined to disagree with than you set for approaches you are otherwise inclined to favor.
That's cheating.

Colleges are trying to decide whether e-cigarettes should be banned as part of campus tobacco-free policies.
A report from the College Board finds that bachelor's-degree recipients earn 65 percent more over a 40-year, full-time work life than high school graduates do.
The back-to-school season is easy to recognize. Temperatures get a bit cooler. Walgreens and CVS start doing a brisk business in pencil and notebook sales. And in college towns like Boston, as I can personally attest, commute times suddenly double.
Another familiar feature of the season, of course, is news columns on education trends -- those lists of the 10 or 12 or 15 things to watch, whether they be emerging technologies, or new regulations, or looming anxieties about increased competition, financial challenges, the future of tenure, and so on.
What's striking about so many of the observable trends in higher education today is the way in which they seem to be fueled by the same motivating force: the desire for jobs. The pursuit of jobs or job readiness or real-world work experience seems to be the trend of trends.
For some within the higher education community, this focus on jobs will undoubtedly be viewed as reductivist, relegating higher education institutions to the same status as factories churning out "product" – skilled labor, in this case.
"Just wait," this constituency may well caution, "this vocational turn will be accompanied by a hail of unintended consequences: a weakened citizenry, the abandonment of the arts, and the valorization of rote learning in place of critical thinking."
For others, the increased attention to graduate employability and work readiness will signal what they might regard as a long-overdue pivot to a more realistic perspective on the function of higher education within a knowledge economy.
"Look," this group of stakeholders might well argue, "preparing future professionals to communicate effectively, arrive at work on time, take problems to managers only when warranted, and possess some familiarity with the tools of the contemporary work place – whether spreadsheets, algorithms, databases, or other – just makes good, practical sense."
For the moment, the latter voices appear to be in the ascendency -- spurred on by an extended economic crisis, unparalleled in our lifetimes, where as many as 4 in 10 recent graduates are unemployed or underemployed. Indeed, we can see evidence of this perspective taking hold in decisions related to everything from campus operations to curriculum design to assessment to the development of new education-related consumer services.
Look at big data. Business analytics have an important role to play in demonstrating institutional effectiveness. Increasingly, that effectiveness is measured by student success – not just in the classroom or on the exit exam, but in the workforce. Mid-career salaries represent the kind of long-term outcomes growing numbers of institutions are orienting themselves around, and colleges are adapting their systems to gather this kind of information.
Furthermore, few schools today would willingly position themselves as being at a remove from the wider world of economics, industry and work. To the contrary, in one way or another, colleges are going to where the jobs are – whether through the delivery of online learning and short-residency executive education programs, or through the development of satellite campuses, both domestically and internationally, in key economic hubs.
This represents an important kind of bridge-building between the world of academic study and the world of work, and it can be seen in the way colleges and universities are approaching curriculum design.
Look at big data – again. This past summer, IBM announced deals with five U.S. universities – including Georgetown University, George Washington University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Northwestern University, and the University of Missouri, as well as several foreign institutions – to collaborate in the development of new curriculums around data science.
Last spring, the Georgia Institute of Technology announced a deal with Udacity to deliver a master's degree in computer science online for less than $7,000 in tuition, supported by a $2 million grant from AT&T. Naturally enough, the telecom firm hopes to hire some of the program's graduates. Deals like these underscore the extent to which universities represent critical talent pipelines, and undoubtedly many students will benefit from the closer collaboration between these institutions and employers.
Even the debate about the value of the liberal arts is concerned with the relevance of the curriculum to the work place – and this is by no means a bad thing, at least if you are among those who believe that the liberal arts curriculum, and the skills and capacities it develops, does have relevance to the needs of the work place.
But the debate is useful also to the extent that it highlights the limitations of the liberal arts in promoting work readiness – because there are a number of ways in which such a curriculum might be augmented to achieve that end.
This can be seen in the growing focus on experiential learning opportunities – whether it takes the form of internships and co-ops, or field research experiences, or participation in business incubators, or any number of other kinds of outside-the-classroom learning experiences.
Of course, experiential learning programs take time for institutions to develop – especially those that intend to provide students with the opportunity to benefit from paid, professional experience earned in the course of their degree programs – and not every institution has the capacity to quickly develop the relationships with employers necessary to sustain these efforts.
For that reason, a number of commercial enterprises are stepping in to help current students and recent graduates, as well as colleges and universities, by providing these sorts of experiences. Witness coaching organizations like the Fullbridge Program, which delivers an intensive preparatory curriculum to help students increase their work readiness, and online providers like Coursolve, which matches courses with organizations' current business needs so that students can engage in practical problem solving and produce a real-world work product.
Inasmuch as educators are now placing greater emphasis on the application of curriculum to the work place, it isn't a surprise to see assessment moving in the same direction. This summer the Council for Aid to Education announced that its Collegiate Learning Assessment exam – a tool for measuring, at the institutional level, the value-add that colleges are able to deliver over the course of an undergraduate degree – would now be augmented by something called the CLA+, a new kind of exit exam that attempts to measure the employability of the individual graduate.
Concurrent with the emergence of this new kind of outcomes assessment is a growing recognition that employability should not just be the concern of recent graduates or incoming seniors.
Indeed, a few weeks back, LinkedIn announced that it would begin allowing individuals as young as 14 to create profiles on its site while also permitting them to draw upon the firm's new University Pages to aid these future professionals in their college search efforts. The intention, it seems, is not only to help prospective college students compare and contrast institutional profiles, but to empower them to connect with current students, as well as alums – folks who are already on campus or already in the workforce, and who can share their views on the extent to which their alma mater was able to effectively prepare them for the careers they ultimately hope to pursue or are already pursuing.
It will take time to see which of these forms of work force preparation prove effective and which do not – both academically and professionally. Those institutions that are most successful in testing these more professionally focused strategies and tactics are likely to be those that view the journey from college to work as a continuum where they have an important role to play, rather than those who view the encroachment of pre-professional preparation on academic disciplines as an anathema.
Whatever one's philosophical disposition, the desire to link the worlds of academic study and work more closely together is clearly driving diverse forms of innovation, and those innovations certainly represent interesting trends in and of themselves. But the real trend, ultimately, is the pursuit of jobs itself.
As a consequence, for a growing number of colleges and universities, the emphasis this back-to-school season will have to be on getting their students ready for work, and getting ready to make that work for themselves, as well.

While some still reject gender-neutral housing, other colleges are pushing transgender inclusion with new policies.

Freshmen Hunter Morris and Brian Fletcher earned All-American honors for the third time this season as the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and Collegiate Baseball and Louisville Slugger had also previously tabbed the two among the best first-year players in the country.
Fletcher hit .324 with 10 homers, 17 doubles, three triples and 42 RBI, playing primarily as Auburn's everyday left fielder. His .611 slugging percentage was second-best on the team while his batting average ranked third. On the year, he safely reached base in 44 out of 54 games played, scoring at least one run in 30 contests.
Fletcher had a strong year for the Tigers as a freshman.
Morris, who was recently named to USA Baseball's National Team, was named the SEC Freshman of the Year and a Second Team All-SEC after hitting a team-leading .351 in 54 games, collecting 15 doubles, two triples and 11 home runs, driving in 49 runs. The regular first baseman, he hit safely in 44 games, collecting at least one extra-base hit in 24 games as he finished the year with a .597 slugging percentage and a .433 on-base percentage, drawing 20 walks, all of which ranked in the top three on the team.

Wiltshire Council chief executive Andrew Kerr to be made redundant
The chief executive of Wiltshire Council is to be made redundant as part of a plan to reduce management costs.
Andrew Kerr, who helped the authority save more than £18m last year, joined the council in February 2010.
Under the proposals considered by the cabinet, one corporate director post will also be shed, reducing the number of corporate directors to three.
Earlier this year the Conservative-led administration axed 220 managers, saving the authority £8m.
Mr Kerr had only been in the job for a year-and-a-half.
His £183,000 salary had faced criticism from the start. There was more controversy in May 2011 when it emerged he was due to get a £6,000 increase.
After initially defending it, Andrew Kerr yielded to pressure and cancelled his rise, accepting it looked bad when other staff were losing their jobs.
His own departure has come as a bolt from the blue. Also going will be one of Wiltshire Council's four corporate directors.
It has surprised many, including colleagues, senior councillors and unions.
The Conservative administration says the "deletion" of these posts will save £500,000 a year. But the leader of the opposition Liberal Democrats has described it as "insane".
For councils everywhere these are unprecedented times, with unprecedented financial pressures.
Few though have tried anything quite as radical.
His appointment was seen as critical when he took charge months after the creation of the West's biggest local authority.
Wiltshire Council replaced a county council and four district councils and has an annual budget of more than £800m.
A council spokesman said the pressures on the council's budget both now and in the future were not to be underestimated.
"Next year the council needs to find additional savings as a result of the reduction in government grant, increased costs as a result of inflation, and the increasing number of older people requiring adult care services and young people requiring support."
A two-week period of consultation on the proposals has begun and the proposal and feedback will be considered by the council's cabinet in the week commencing 26 September.
Mr Kerr decided in May 2011 to hand back his £6,000 incremental increase in his £183,000 pay following media coverage and interest in his salary.
He originally said of his pay rise: "I've got 15,000 staff. This business turns over nearly £1bn a year. We deliver 350-odd different services. It's a big complex job which I believe justifies the salary that I earn."
Speaking then Unison said workers would be cynical that the announcement only came after publicity about him accepting it.

RE: iSonic 94
Hi Martwald,
It really depends how much scope you see to use the iS87 in hi speed open water racing/blasting etc. If you've got a lot of hi wind open water action, then for those days the smaller iS87 will be a very nice and competitive solution, far more open water and full race capable than (any) dedicated speed board can be in those circumstances.
But if you are almost exclusively flat water speed (in hi wind slalom conditions) then the iS101 will take you very close to the point at which you could climb onto Missile S.
Rationale here is Missile S range for pure speed really starts from 20-25+ kts (rider/location variable etc), which is also about the start of the real action window for iS87 (open water).
Don't want to discourage you on the 87, it's a pretty epic ride in the right stuff, but depending more on your usage/ride style/water conditions, there may be significant overlap to Missile S by wind range.
Cheers ~ Ian

Silverdale skater crowned king of the asphalt
KINGSTON — The scraping of metal and clapping of wood echoed off concrete walls alongside groans of pain and cries of delight Sunday in Kingston.
Polyurethane wheels rolled and bodies flew through the warm summer air as 29 young men competed for prizes and bragging rights at the second annual Kingston Sk8 Rollick, hosted at the Billie Johnson Skate Park. In the end, 16-year-old Michael O'Friel, a regular style rider from Silverdale, was crowned king of the asphalt, winning the advanced portion of the competition and wowing judges with a series of complex tricks.
"It was really high energy, really exciting and a lot of fun," said O'Friel, who began skating when he was 11 and competes in close to 20 tournaments around the Puget Sound each year.
Judges said they were impressed by O'Friel's ability to put nearly every obstacle on the course to good use.
"He had good flow," contest judge Peter Wickstrom said. "He made good use of the entire park."
O'Friel pulled off some of the most difficult tricks of the day, including an ooh- and aah-inducing backside Smith stall 270 revert* off a wooden box atop the park's quarter-pipe. The young thrasher also landed one of his favorite tricks, a frontside 180 to noseblunt*.
"His creativity in using different elements in the park, and his style, was shining like a bright light," contest organizer and Kingstonite Dan McDougall said of O'Friel.
Following O'Friel in the advanced category standings were Kingston's Matt Grace and Bremerton's Alex Long. Grace gained the favor of judges and fans with a bag of board-flipping tricks including a nollie bigspin* on the quarter pipe, which garnered applause for its difficulty, and Long rode the rails with stunts like a frontside crooked grind* and a backside tailslide 180 out*.
"It was pretty close," McDougall said of the competition. "There was a lot more variety of tricks this year."
Competing at a park composed of both street and ramp elements can be difficult for many skaters, according to the judges. Some board riders get plenty of practice on bowl- or pool-shaped ramps, and are accustomed to the types of tricks common to an up-and-down style of skating. Others excel on parks and streets, perfecting their skills on curbs, ledges and rails. Few courses combine the street and ramp elements the way the Kingston Skate Park does.
"The style changes," contest judge Malcolm Copple said of the Kingston park. "The combination of the two (elements) makes for an interesting mix."
The contest was the embodiment of years of hard work on the part of not only the competitors, but also the organizers — a troupe of 20-somethings who provided the impetus behind the park's construction nearly a decade ago and acted as judges and emcees this year. Copple said he was impressed by the turnout of both fans and skaters, which was comparable to contests he had seen in the Seattle area.
"I'm actually surprised," Copple said. "There was a lot of talent, considering the size of the skate park. It was a good turnout, and great competition."
*Trick explanations:
1. The backside Smith stall 270 revert involved O'Friel riding up a short, wave-shaped wall (the quarter pipe) and jumping his board onto the edge of a wooden box (Fun Box) sitting atop the wall. As he jumped, he turned his board 90 degrees and briefly balanced the rear truck of his board on the edge of the box, with the front hanging downward, before doing a 270-degree spin on his way back down the quarter pipe.
2. The frontside 180 noseblunt is a trick in which the skater rides up a short, curved wall, does a 180-degree turn in the air, and then briefly stalls his front truck and nose vertically on the top of the wall before dropping back in.
3. Unlike the ollie, in which the skater pushes down on the tail of the board to raise the nose into the air first, the nollie requires the nose to be pressed down and the tail to rise. Going up the quarter pipe, Grace added some tricky footwork to the nollie to make the board spin 360 degrees beneath him, re-attaching his feet within the final quarter turn as the wheels hit the ground.
4. For a frontside crooked grind, or pointer grind, the rider uses an ollie to jump his board onto a rail, which he balances only his front truck on while keeping his board slightly askew and grinding down the length of the rail.
5. In the backside tailslide 180 out, Long did an ollie in the direction opposite his momentum, landing just the tail of his board on a ledge and sliding his tail along the ledge before jumping off with a 180-degree turn, riding out switch (turned in the direction opposite his normal stance).
For any of these tricks to be complete, the skater must land and keep his balance at the end of the trick.

My friend in Texas, and needs an expungement but cant come to MN for hearing once scheduled. Is there anyway around this? Or doe anyone offer free consultation? Thank You!!
If hired, an attorney can represent your friend in your friend's absence. Without an attorney, your friend needs to appear in court. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation.See question
I have a prior felony that was deemed a misdemeanor due to a stay of imposition. With the new law that takes place in 2015 can I get it expunged under the misdemeanor 2 year law or do I have to wait the 5 years before I can get it expunged. I want...
Because the legislature did not clearly answer this question in the new expungement law's language, it's unclear how courts will treat felonies converted to misdemeanors pursuant to stays of imposition. My guess is that most, if not all, judges will treat them as felonies and thus require petitioners to wait the minimum five years, rather than two years for misdemeanor convictions. Time will tell, however. Also keep in mind that the waiting periods begin AFTER discharge from probation. So if a person is on probation for one year on a misdemeanor, s/he must wait two years after being discharged from probation, or a total of three years from the time of sentencing. Also keep in mind that the new law's expansion does not apply to all types of felonies, but rather a very specific list of felonies only. To get a better idea of your options, I recommend consulting with an expungement attorney who regularly practices in this area. Good luck!See question
Imagine you're in a retail clothing store in a large mall. You're holding a shirt worth about $20 that you intend to pay for after looking at other articles. This particular store plays music, which makes it difficult to hear. You receive an impor...
You may get charged with misdemeanor theft. The State must prove that you intended to steal the merchandise, so circumstances (like the phone call, whether the shirt was concealed in any way or just being held in your hand, any video footage showing you exit the store, etc.) are important. Note that the civil settlement is completely separate from any criminal charges that may come, and neither has any effect on the other's outcome. Regardless of the circumstance (but especially if what you say is true) you should have representation for this case (assuming you get charged). You certainly have more than one option of how this case could be handled.See question
So the reason I was pulled over was for speeding over 100mph and while I have no good reason for going that fast my excuse to the officer was I felt I was being crowded by the vehicle behind me and I was trying to put some space between me and the...
To add to the other answers already posted, you have nothing to lose by taking a shot in court. You may be able to negotiate a settlement with the prosecutor where this alleged offense stays off your record (and you have a decent shot since your record is currently clean). Most prosecutors aren't looking to jam people up. With a clean record and the right negotiation, keeping this case off the books is not an impossible task. Good luck.See question
February 21st, 2013 I got sentenced on my 2nd order of protection violation protecting my ex-wife & children and a probationary domestic abuse no contact order was put in place for two years. Towards the end of Jan 2014 based on the request of my...
I agree that a lawyer can help you present your argument in the best fashion. Generally speaking, as more time passes without any violations, you're chances of getting the DANCO vacated increases. Having support of the victim is also helpful. Good luck!See question
I am being charged with petty theft, do I need a lawyer present at the hearing.
Unless you have previous theft convictions, you probably aren't looking at serving jail for this type of case. Your main concern should be keeping a theft conviction off your record. That may or may not be possible, which is why you should at least consult with an attorney, and seriously consider hiring someone (or applying for a public defender). Regarding your second question, if you plead guilty and are convicted, a lawyer cannot change the charge later (usually) but the charge can possibly be changed before resolving the case through negotiations with the prosecutor. Good luck!See question
I was at a Minneapolis hotel bar. I got up and used the restroom, and when I came out the bartender was standing there with a security guard. We went back to the bar and I discovered I didn't have my wallet so they called the police. I don't under...
The fact that they stopped you near the bathroom entrance, and not outside the restaurant or near your car, creates a gray area. How do they know you weren't going to sit back down at your table? How do they know you weren't going to speak with the manager and explain your wallet was lost but that you didn't realize it until after eating your meal? They simply assume you were going to leave without paying, and that's an assumption the State has the burden of proving, not the other way around. I assume based on the info you provided that you're charged with a misdemeanor. Realistically you're not looking at serving jail time for something like this (unless there is much, much more to the story). My advise? Fight this case. If you had no intention of skipping out, and more importantly, if the State can't prove that, you shouldn't even entertain the idea of pleading guilty. Other advise? Get some help, whether that's hiring a private lawyer, or getting a public defender. The fact that you were arguably still within the borders of the establishment when stopped should be your main focus. Let an attorney help you flip this case upside down. And good luck!See question
I was convinced by my family and jumped the gun at filing for an OFP on my husband. There have been a few physical issues between us, and I can honestly say I probably provoked these and was physical back. We have 4 kids and I filed for protecti...
I agree that the best option is to show up at court and explain you want everything dropped. If you didn't show up, the judge will most likely dismiss the case as well.See question
my boyfriend just got locked up for those things and me or him dont know how long he will be kept in jail for
I agree with my colleague but will add that how much jail time is given as a result of the probation violation (that is if he admits the violation or it is proved against him) will depend on a variety of factors: negotiation between the lawyers, sympathy of the judge, how many probation violations he's had already (if any), whether the violation was something smaller - like failure to check in with probation - or something big - like committing a new offense. If he is looking at significant jail time as punishment, it's in his best interest to chat with a lawyer.See question
it is in the states hands? how does she lift no contact order? and get all this done & over with? along w/this uncalled exp. machine??????
The alleged victim does not control the case, but does have input with the prosecutor. Whether your charges are dropped or reduced is entirely up to the prosecutor. Regarding the no contact order, the alleged victim can make his/her wishes known to the court through either a victim advocate or the prosecutor, which the judge will take into consideration. If the alleged victim wants the no contact order dropped, there is a better chance that will happen than if the alleged victim wants it to remain in place, but you want it dropped.
With no criminal history, your concern at this point should not be jail time. You should be concerned with having a final criminal record that will follow you for the distant future, and will carry several collateral consequences. You should have representation, whether that is a public defender or private counsel. Depending on the facts of your case, the aggressiveness of the prosecutor, and the cooperation of the alleged victim, there are may options of resolving your case OTHER than pleading guilty to domestic assault. There outcomes range from dismissal to pleading to a lesser charge. Feel free to call me to discuss in more detail.See question

On a sunny afternoon in early April at the University of Washington Botanic Gardens, a group of twelve students crowd around a three-foot-deep hole in the ground and peer down quizzically as I scrape the fresh face of the soil profile with a trowel. "What horizon is this?" I ask, pointing to the dark, rich organic layer at the surface.
The concept of "color space" as presented in the Munsell system makes a lot of sense, but it can be difficult to describe. Making the concept easier to grasp requires a visual representation – if students are going to "get it" they need to see it. This is why I built a color space model at the studio representing the three dimensions of hue, value, and chroma in a suspended sculpture that we can walk around and immerse ourselves within.

There's been a noticeable uptick in German commentary recognizing and supporting the American model -- even criticizing Obama for his essentially anti-America worldview.
See: Obama's Misguided Policies: America Has Become Too European.
Compare: America's Misguided Bullying of German Economic Policy.
You saw those too.
Obama's unsuitablity for office is hurting us in ways
we don't even understand yet.
Although to see these younger democracies stand up
is a thing to be proud of if nothing else.

Charity on display is why America is greatest nation
A wonderful group of more than 400 volunteers, about half of them dentists, hygienists, oral surgeons and others in the field, provided more than $750,000 worth of dental care in two days sponsored by the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington and the Maryland Office of Oral Health.
Seven hundred people were taken care of.
One woman had a filling break on Friday and went in. She had three fillings and two extractions. One filling would have been $2,700. Total, $8,000.
One dentist said he pulled 60 teeth from 10 patients.
The clinic was set up in St. Vincent Pallot High School in Laurel, Md., by Mid-Maryland Mission of Mercy.
Years ago, I did child care for a Muslim couple from India and the wife mentioned that if a person stole a loaf of bread to feed their starving child, they would get their hand slapped. The second time, they would have their hand cut off.
I thank God I live in America.
Incidentally, people didn't have to be Catholic to be provided for.

Stop Juvenile Drinking Parties
Adults who in any way aid or abet minors in buying or consuming alcohol and/or harder drugs should be punished severely. They are putting young people at great risk, and that should not be tolerated.
Area residents have ample evidence that helping juveniles obtain alcohol and allowing them use of homes for parties is dangerous business. Just a few years ago, a Moundsville teenager died of alcohol poisoning after drinking too much at a party where adults were present. Last year, a Weirton girl was raped by two Steubenville boys after attending a party at someone's house.
Yet adults continue to enable – even encourage – drinking parties involving teenagers. Some adults claim teens will drink one way or another, and it's better to provide them a "safe" place to do so.
That simply is not a valid excuse.
Law enforcement officials come across such "house parties" on a fairly regular basis. Just last weekend, West Virginia State Police investigating an unrelated matter happened upon a house party in Valley Grove.
State Police Sgt. Jason Laing told our reporter it is suspected underage drinking and use of other drugs may have been going on at the party. It remains under investigation.
Laing added it is illegal to host a party where underage drinking occurs. "If there is evidence that corroborates a suspicion that (an adult is) aware and/or complicit in some way, then you'll be charged," Laing added.
State police are right to consider enforcing that statute as a priority. Though law enforcement agencies certainly have plenty of important work to do, cracking down on adults who help minors drink should be near the top of their to-do lists – because it may save lives.
If investigators find adults were aware of the Valley Grove party, the guilty people should be arrested and, if found guilty in court, punished severely.
